2 Were Baptized as a Result of our Gospel Meeting.

I am glad to tell you again the fruit of our work in the vineyard of our Lord. The pictures below were taken yesterday during our Gospel Meeting. Dad and mom already in the area evening of June 19, 2011. Dad made some private Bible Study to the folks before Brother Rommel and I made sermons morning of June 20, 2011. Brother Rommel sermon was about "What Must I Do To Be Saved?" then after it, I preached my sermon "Now When You Are Saved". what a great joy when 2 folks decided to be baptized. My tears also were flowing because one old woman who I did baptized is the younger sister of my Grandmother (mother of dad). Brother Allan Kimnon and Brother Samson Castillion who is from Cebuano Tribe were with us.

7 Souls were gladly baptized as a result of our Gospel Meeting there in the congregation where Brother Antang preaches in Tiboli, South Cotabato.

Brother Rommel Dazon again invited me in joining with him in his Gospel Meeting there in the congregation where Brother Dominador Antang preaches. We arrived Friday June 3,2011, and then immediately we started the lecture an half hour later. I lectured about "The Second Coming of Christ - An Refute to the Premilenniaism Doctrine." While Brother Rommel made a good sermon about "Christian Growth". While morning came I lectured about "What Must I Do To Be Saved?" while he, Brother Rommel about preached a good sermon "Responsibility of A Christian in the Local Church".

Both Brother Antang and Brother Danny also made a good preaching.

Gospel Meeting in Laconon Tiboli, South Cotabato Province - 12 Were Glady Baptized.

I and Brother Rommil Dazon returned back home from Gospel Meeting in Tiboli, South Cotabato which is more than 40 miles from here around 5:00 o'clock in the evening of May 18, 2011. We left last afternoon of Tuesday, May 17, 2011 in spite of heavy rain we encountered on our way, the rain last more than 30 minutes. We immediately started our preaching when we arrived, I first preached about "What Must I Do To Be Saved?" in evening. Brother Rommil preached a good sermon about the Lord's church. And while two gospel preachers named Dominador Antang and Danny Caliz also preached good sermons, it was my first time to meet two of them. When morning came, May 18...there were 12 folks who accepted Christ through water baptism. What a great joy!

We have no pictures in the night of our preaching because it was already so dark, then our cellphones can't capture pictures at night. So what we have are pictures at baptism moments.

After this wonderful work in the Lord's vineyard, I and brother Rommil went to Lake Cebu (one of the tourist spots here in the Philippines) to meet 6 gospel preachers also from there, I was so glad to meet them.

I am thankful to God first for He is the supplier, the provider of all. Thanks be also to the US brethren for the prayers for the work here in the Philippines.

From the coastal area going to Sitio Glamang, Camalian where we held the venue was at the top of the mountain which is more than 15 kilometers away, we reached it almost 9:00 PM by way of walking.


Because of thirst, the group of young men who met us on the way gave us coconut to drink in it.
