TWO SOULS WERE BAPTIZED.

There is nothing more precious than the Salvation of our souls from forgiveness of our sins that results to peace of mind through the gospel of Christ. Hence, it is indeed joyful to know that last March 28, 2021 our Brethren Preachers Gorio Pelon and Ronie Isla both preachers of Pepe Ranch church of Christ, Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province had done a tremendous job in administering the baptism of two souls in such way they were added by the Lord in His church. (Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:47)

Dear Brother Ron Halbrook,

"I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 2)

Grace, Mercy, and Peace be with you

From God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

I thank God for His wonderful love always; making mention of your name in my prayers as I thank Him for your untiring love to us here in the Philippines.

By God's loving providence that made possible the help of US saints and you dear Brod Ron Halbrook, I had relayed food assistance and had preach in Molo Libi church of Christ, Malapatan, Sarangani Province last Feb 12, 2021.

One sack of rice, noodles, coffee and sugar were provided to them as relief in this Pandemic Crisis brought by COVID-19.

Brod Wifred Madeo, their local preacher always express his gratitude with the saints there.

May God continue to bless you, your family and the saints there.

In Christian Love,

FULL DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD ASSISTANCE FROM $500.00

9th Day of March, Year of our Lord 2021

Brother Jonathan Carino relayed to me the $500.00 for Food Assistance through the Bank Account of Brod Salvador “Badong” Parbo. I thank these two brothers for their mutual love in relaying the funds.

I thank the US saints who have sacrificially sent the funds in which the Food Assistance to Needy Saints in Four Local churches of Christ in Maasim where made possible.

Last Friday March 5, 2021 I had the opportunity to lecture “Authority in Religion” in Kyumad church of Christ through the invitation of Brod Allan Moyak, the local preacher. It was a Youth Bible Class, attended by almost a hundred young people from different local churches of Christ.

Then Saturday, March 6, 2021 I joined with Brod Rommel Dazon, Ceasar Monto, Eduard Diamana, Jeremiah Bantilan, couple Manolang and Lotlot Diamalo in a Gospel Meeting in Datal Lira church of Christ, Kablacan, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

One soul was baptized; Brod Diamana did the immersion.

In the same day, we distributed 2 sacks of rice or 100 kilos in the local church as food assistance from the $500.00 steward to me.

After the distribution, we went back home. It is very sad that on our way, as drove my motorcycle then my backride was Brod Monto, I lost control of my motorcycle, the brakes no longer functioning which resulted to our accident. We both sustained injuries and until now there is pain. We thank God for He spare our lives. We are also grateful to the Maasim Rescue Team for quick respond.

Then Lord’s Day, as I had gained enough strength to do the Lord’s work, Brod Lucciano Sangoan accompanied me in distribution of food assistance.

Around 8:00 PM, March 7, 2021 two sacks of rice were distributed in Quary church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

The members were so happy as they received food assistance also grateful in knowing that I am alive, by God’s loving providence after a terrible motorcycle accident. I had preached “My Brethren Strengthen Me” your sermon outline dear Brod Ron Halbrook.

Monday, March 8, 2021 one sack of rice was distributed in Libas church of Christ and also two sacks of rice on the same day in Tahakayo church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province. The same lesson was preached in two congregations concerning “Labor of Love”. I emphasized that food is material yet it is given in the name of God, it is a labor of love of the US saints and also us who are stewards of the blessings.

I thank God for His love Brother Ron Halbrook. Thank you so much for the Food Assistance. Brethren and sisters are thankful as they received the food assistance.

May God continue to bless you, your family and the saints there.

In Christian Love,

Full Distribution of $500.00 : Four Local Churches of Christ Were Given of Food Assistance

Full Distribution of $500.00 : Four Local Churches of Christ Were Given of Food Assistance

Dear Brother Ron Halbrook,

"I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 2)

Grace, Mercy, and Peace be with you

From God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Hebrew writer had written "For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for His name in serving the saints, as you still do" Hebrews 6:10.

I thank God for His loving providence that made possible the $500 you sent to me as relayed by Brother Jonathan Carino.

Brod Jonathan sent it through Brod Salvador Parbo then Brod Parbo personally relayed to me the funds in Philippine currency 24, 000 pesos.

On December 30, 2020 I, Brod Eduardo Diamana Sr. and Brod Jeremiah Bantilan purchased 5 sacks of rice or equivalent to 250 kilos of rice.

3 sacks were for Dampilan church of Christ, Lumatil, Maasim where Brod Eduardo has been preaching while 2 sacks were for Datal Lira church of Christ where Brod Jeremiah is working as preacher.

On that day we administered the distribution of Food Assistance in Dampilan church of Christ, had studied a lesson "My Brethren Strengthen Me" your sermon outline dear Brod Ron Halbrook. We sung hymns and offered prayer of thankfulness to God.

Then on the following day, December 31, 2020 I with brethren preachers Allan Moyak, Jeremiah Bantilan and faithful Christian couple Manolang and Lotlot Diamalo went to Datal Lira church of Christ, Kablacan, Maasim.

This is the local church in the area that is very far and the preacher here is resident in Quary part of Amsipit which has difficulty as far as the transportation is concerned.

In Datal Lira, I preached a lesson "The Heart of A Christian", based on your sermon outline "The Heart of A Preacher".

Then Brod Allan Moyak followed a lesson "Doctrine of Christ versus Doctrine of Men", emphasizing the need to follow Christ, to be in the Lord's church for Salvation.

By God's grace, two souls, husband and wife confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God then immersed in water for the remission of their sins.

After the baptism, we then departed to go back in Kyumad.

Around 3:00 PM three sacks of rice were distributed in Kyumad church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim.

I had an opportunity to preach "My Brethren Strengthen Me" then followed by a sermon of Brod Allan Moyak.

Brod Renie Moyak and Arnel Moyak were so happy with the members.

It strengthen my faith in Christ to encourage brethren and sisters for as I encourage them, they also encourage me.

January 3, 2020 six sacks of rice equivalent to 150 kilos (25 kilos per sack) were given in Kabatiol church of Christ, Maasim, Sarangani. The local preacher is Brod Allan Moyak.

I preached a lesson "My Brethren Strengthen Me" which greatly strengthen all of us in Christ Jesus.

Brother Ron thank you so much for this noble work that you stweard to me by God's loving grace.

This is the liquidation of the $500.00 or 24, 000 pesos.

1. My Gasoline For Motorcycle 468 pesos

2. Two sacks for Datal Lira church of Christ 3, 620 pesos

3. Three sacks for Dampilan church of Christ 5, 470 pesos

4. Three sacks of rice for Kyumad church of Christ 5, 400 pesos

5. Three sacks of rice for Kabatiol church of Christ 5, 506 pesos

Transportation Expenses and Others

A. 400 pesos to Eduardo Diama Sr. Tricycle

B. 300 pesos to Madim Diamalo for transportation of rice from Kyumad to Datal Lira

C. 100 pesos for gasoline of Brod Manolang Diamalo

D. 500 pesos Brod Manolang and Brod Jeremiah

E. 500 pesos Brod Renie Moyak

F. 1000 pesos to Brod Allan Moyak

G. 200 pesos transportation of two sacks of rice from Public Market to Kyumad (to be distributed to Datal Lira)

Total Php 22, 964.00

There were also many expenses such as food during distribution and I had used personally my fund, thanks to God. I count it as joy, blessing, priviledge to be steward of extending the help of US saints to the needy saints.

Brother Ron Halbrook thank you so much for the love in helping us here in the Philippines.

Indeed true, "For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for His name in serving the saints, as you still do" Hebrews 6:10.

May God continue to bless everyone.

A Blessed Happy New Year.

In Christian Love,
