2nd week – Community
(in original language)

Apan unsaon man nila pagsampit kaniya kon wala sila motuo? Ug unsaon man nila pagtuo kon wala sila makadungog sa mensahe? Ug unsaon man nila pagkadungog kon walay magwale niini?’’-Roma 10:14

Sa pagpamalandong naku niining pulonga na hunahunaan jud nako kung unsa ka importante para sa akua ni mahitingod sa pagsangyaw  sa maayong balita. Bisan layo amo ginabaktas pero sa panahon nga maka sangyaw ko ug akong mga kauban dako jud ako kalipay. Dili man jud sayon ang maong buluhaton pero na remind ko jud ko nga bersikulo (Roma 10:14) kay tungod nabati nako nga daghan jud ang wala makadungog sa Maayong balita bisan adunay sila pagtuo sa Diyos pero lahi jud ang nay relasyon sa Ginoo ug nahagit ko sa kinabuhi ni Tatay *Juan kay nasayod ko nga adunay butang nga wala pa niya gitungyan sa Ginoo kay tungod sa iyang bisyo lisod jud nga siya biyaan. Kay sama usab ko sa iyaha sa una nga aduna pud bisyo bisan unsaon badlong sa ako, dili jud ko magbag-o. Pero dako jud ang pasalamat nako sa Ginoo kay tungod sa iya nga grasya ug kaluoy naluwas ko gikan sa kangitngit maong nahagit ko kay tatay kay kabalo ko. Ang Ginoo magapamuhat ra jud sa iyaha.

Bisan pa sa pagpanglakaw namo atong Sabado, bisan sa ulan ug kalapok sa dalan, lisud jud pero salamat sa Ginoo aduna jud balay mudawat sa amoa. Bisan pa atong Domingo salamat usab ko sa Ginoo kay bisan naulanan ug nainitan walay sakit na ako o among natagamtaman. Nabless usab ko sa kinabuhi ni Sir J*. nga sa diin gintudlo niya ang kinabuhi ni Abraham ug ang saad sa Diyos kang Abraham nga ‘’Panalanginan ko ikaw ug mahimo kang panalangini sa tanang nasud”

‘’How then can they call on the one they have not believed in and how can they believed in the one of whom they have not heard. And how can they hear without someone preaching to them’- Romans 10:14

As I continue meditate on this verse, I realized even more how important it is to preach the Gospel. Even though our ministry area is far from the camp site, the joy is unexplainable when we share the Gospel. This job is not easy but this verse (Romans 10:14) reminds me that many people are still lost even though they believe in God they still don’t have a personal relationship with God. There is a big difference between those 2. I was challenged by the life of Tatay *Juan. I know that there are things that he has yet to surrender to the Lord and because those have become a habit or vises, it is just hard for him to turn away from them. I was like that before. No matter how my family tried to persuade me, I would not change. So, I really thank the Lord because of His grace and mercy, I was rescued from darkness and so Tatay *Juan’s life really speaks to me coz I can relate to what he is going through. The Lord will continue to work in him.
Even in during our ministry this Saturday, even in the muddiness of the paths, it was really difficult but a home welcomed us. Even on Sunday, I also thank the Lord that even though we got rained on and then walked in the heat of the sun but I did not nor my team mates did get sick. I was also blessed with the life of Sir J* and how he shared the life of Abraham and God’s promise to him that, “I will bless you and you will be a blessing to all nations.”
