November 2020 Updates

 

Roofing Completed

Newly installed roof with corrugated iron sheet

Praise God for the completion of roof installation.   It’s been always our prayers to extend the worship place, to give convenient space for each one of us and when the social distancing was implemented to limit the spread of the Corona Virus, it was very hard for us to comply because of small space. Praise God because a donor from Corner Stone help us construct the foundation and installed the roof.

We are praying for additional fund to install fiber cement wall with metal frame, concreting of mud flooring and plastering in the kitchen and tiles for toilet. It will cost around 35,000 in peso ( nearly 800 US dollar).

Church Planting Team 

Church Planting Team with church partners

Our church planting team works hands-on-hands with our local partners to establish the ministry in Sitio Katuwiran, a poor and small community in Barangay San Rafael, Montalban, Rizal. We started the ministry with feeding the children with forage or bread.  Our contact which also became our Bible study group begins with children. Good rapport is important in ministering to the people. Like Jesus who invited the disciples to “come and see” (John 1:39).  One of our strength in sharing the gospel and making disciple for Jesus is relationship with people and we invite them to eat with us, pray with us and even asking them to go with us to share the love of God. To date, we have two youth leaders and three from mothers group who help us in Bible study and in leading the worship.

mission, I quit in my Job as freelance engineer and pursue God’s call, my family have been my supporter.  In fact our second child, Jemimah is taking cross-cultural study in college, she wanted to be missionary someday.  My journey as missionary is both satisfying and challenging.  We came to the ministry area with only enough budget, but when we were compelled to share to our needy team members or our Bible study members, we gave.  We were always amazed how the Lord of heaven provided for our needs.  We do not have regular support, we are raising our ministry budget, God is good He always lead us someone who’s heart have been prepared to go with us in sharing the gospel of Christ to others and in helping other in their plight. 

Next Plan

Our prayer before the year end I(2020) is to complete the toilet in the church and purchased guitar and other audio equipments for worship.  We continue our discipleship group and praying for them to grow in their faith and become committed followers of Christ.
