Dear
Praying Friends:
This month we ministered in 4 churches. Sunday, October 12 I
preached at Laloma Baptist Church in Quezon City. The
pastor, Gilbert Toquero, was in India with Rex Galfo, a
member of his church and a missionary with ABC going to
India.
On the 19th
we drove south to Nasugbo, Batangas to be with the Bible
Baptist Church, Fidel Rearte, pastor. I taught the lesson in
Sunday School, preached the morning worship service, as well
as the evening service. The next day the church had a prayer
fellowship with other churches in attendance. Edith spoke to
the women and I to the men. It was a great time of
fellowship and blessing.
Sunday
morning, the 26th, I spoke at the Christian Bible Baptist
Church in Cabuyao, Laguna for the closing service of their
10th annual mission conference. This work is a
grand-daughter church of Pasig Bible Baptist Church. So
Edith and I were Lolo and Lola (Grandfather and Grandmother)
for the day. They treated us royally.
That
evening we motored on to Calamba and preached in another
grand-daughter church, Carpenter's House Baptist Church, for
their second anniversary. The pastor, Adiel DeTorres, is the
son of a former staff member at Pasig. Their rented church
building was packed. In each of these services the Lord
graciously touched hearts.
One of the
blessings and benefits of serving over 48 years on the field
is seeing spiritual children and grandchildren. What a joy
to serve our great God! This spiritual fruit abounds to your
account because you hold the rope that enables us to present
Christ to our Filipino people.
Together in His harvest;
