I need your prayers...

Yesterday, I met with 9 ladies for our Bible study. These girls are living here at the Kalanguya Christian Fellowship Services Center Ministries Incorporated (we call it CFM Compound). I am assigned to handle the new comers and they are all in their first year college. I didn't know their Spiritual background so I decided to ask what denomination they belong to be able to come up with some ideas on how deep is their relationship or knowledge of the LORD. The result was, 2 girls belong to a cult called Espiritista and the other 2 also belong to a cult called Crusado. Three are Roman Catholics and one is Pentecostal and the other one belongs to the Methodist church.

I asked them what they know about God and they shared their answers. Everybody knows God, and I am thankful that their is no atheist among them. But we don't end with just knowing and believing that God created people and everything that we can see and can not see. So I continued and asked them what they know about people. And they said that people sinned. And when I asked them what would happen to a sinner, one told me that people experience trials because of sin. Most of them do not know about eternity.

I shared Romans 6:23 and explained it to them. Please pray for me as I share the Word of God to them. I am planning to use Chronological teaching so that they will understand the characteristics of God, how people sinned and what happened to people in the past who disobeyed the LORD. Our BS is every Tuesday. Thank you so much for being a part of God's ministry here at CFM.

Praise and Thanks to our FATHER in Heaven.

Praise the LORD our God

I praise the LORD our God for what He is doing in the lives of the Kalanguya. This weekend, I was able to be with fellow believers in two churches. Last Saturday, I went to school and I was a bit nervous thinking that I will not be able to have a ride to my village. My plan was that I am going to our village first and then I will go to the venue of the youth fellowship in that evening. When I went to the jeepney terminal, I am so happy that I was able to catch up with the last trip.

This morning, I went to my home church and I am so happy because many came to worship the LORD. (Last week, I wrote in my blog that there were only about 40 people. This Sunday, there were about 60-70 people. I am so happy too because I saw the old man who was drunk the last time I saw him, listening to God's Word and no longer drunk. Please pray for these people.
Please pray for me too as I serve the LORD and live as God's child.

Thanks for praying with me.
PRAISE AND THANKS to the LORD.

How is your church?

The pictures below were taken last year before our worship service started in my home church. The people in these pictures are more numerous than yesterday. I hope I had a camera yesterday.


Yesterday, July 02, 2006, I went to my home church and attended the Sunday worship service there, I noticed that there are only few people unlike before. Our church building’s capacity is more or less 200 people and this morning I counted the people who went to church and there are only 40 excluding children. I expected more than 50 people but then, only few were there. I was sad thinking that believers and “church attendees” decreased in number.

But when I saw old women I never saw before, I was happy. I am happy that those old women came to know the LORD. I am not sure though if they are already believers or not, but seeing them in the church listening to God’s word made me joyful. I know God works in people’s hearts and the good thing is that they have the heart to know God. I assumed that because I know that they will not go to church if they don’t have the eagerness to know who God is.

Please pray with me for this people, and also for the Kalanguya churches. Kalanguya tribe is located at the mountains of Nueva Vizcaya specifically the towns of Kayapa and Ambaguio.
Thank you and God bless...
