Dear Brethren,
We praise and thank God for the continuing open doors of opportunities in sharing God ’s precious Word with the Gospel message here in our community and beyond. It surely is a great joy to see souls getting saved and growing in the Lord. We therefore CONTINUE to invest the eternal Word of God in the eternal souls of men, confidently assured that God’s Word changes lives, and will certainly not return unto God void.
As we CONTINUE to sow the seed of the Gospel, we at the same time CONTINUE to raise men and money in the furtherance of the Great Commission. We are to faithfully train our generation and the next for the harvest. We thank God for His favour upon our Church educational ministries, having its respective recognition by the DepEd and the CHED, including the Bureau of Immigration in line with ou r foreign students securing corresponding student’s visa. What a great and relevant facility, along with the Church ministries’ involvement, in equipping men and women for effective ministry.
We also CONTINUE to raise up our commitment to Biblical stewardship, and Faith Promise Missions Giving. We move onward, and upward in responding to the on-going challenge to at least equal our Faith Promise with that of our Tithe. Praise God that for the past 3 Sundays in our new Mission giving year, our weekly average Faith Promise is at Php180k which ratio to tithe has continued to improve at current 78%. Surely, as what II Corinthians 9:8 affirms, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.”
My dear brethren, the Bible in Matthew 13:38 remind us that “the field is the world.” Our Lord Jes us Christ furthermore in Acts 1:8 clearly points out that with the power of the Holy Spirit in us, we are to be witnesses both here in our Jerusalem or immediate community and environs; and in all Judea or in the various regions of our country; and in Samaria or in the forgotten, ignored, neglected,and despised people groups; and unto the uttermost part of the earth or foreign fields. We therefore CONTINUE to faithfully and diligently reach out the world with God’s love, seizing and stewarding the many and varied opportunities God sends our way.
All By God’s Grace and For God’s Glory!
