AOT 2020 had 7 participants plus our full-time & part-time trainers. About the time their training was scheduled to be finished, the Philippines went into lockdown and they were stuck at the training site until the middle of May. We are thankful for the Lord's provision during that time... they received food assistance from the barangay and everyone stayed healthy. Although their regular ministry in community was limited and then had to stop all together... they continued spending time in God's word, memorizing scripture and encouraging one another on a daily basis.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6hUmqK9n73g/X7TgUZufRVI/AAAAAAAAC3M/jDeyt-abnIwHSJD7xyo0XRq1n1P5QHGegCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/group%2Bpic.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6hUmqK9n73g/X7TgUZufRVI/AAAAAAAAC3M/jDeyt-abnIwHSJD7xyo0XRq1n1P5QHGegCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/group%2Bpic.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">AOT 2020 Batch 9<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Due to the uncertainty of the ability to travel as soon as January, AOT 2021 has been delayed until March.

of baggage. We do not lay at His feet the sins that so easily entangled. We
refuse to be truly open, first to Him, then to our brothers. If many of us run
like this, then it is no wonder the race is not finished yet. We are so slow in
running that it leads to slow spreading of the Gospel. May we <u>all</u> throw off everything that hinders, and
remember that <u>all </u>sins were paid on The

is to test my faith and increase it and to humble me. The lesson this week made
my heart cry and it felt so heavy. I had a feeling that I didn’t want to stop
crying because I’m being broken but Jesus makes me whole again. He dragged me
out of the darkness, molded me and renewed my perspective and beliefs. I
learned that in every trial, there is a reason behind it and a solution as
well. I understand that He is everything even when I don’t have anything. Just
like what Job said, I was born with nothing and I will die with nothing. Therefore,
I decided that I would make my big U turn and follow Him again. I would believe
what Jesus said, not what I thought He should say. And I would live each day as
if everything I do that day will matter forever. Glory and Honor belong to God.</span></div>

speaking, trusting God is easy to say and do when we have an abundance. But
when testing of faith comes and struggles, trials, problems, and hardships
strike us, our faith and trust in the Lord are shaken and sometimes become
questionable. Week 4 brings a lot of memories about struggles and trials which
made me question God and why He let me experience those things. I complained
and questioned Him a lot. But He is not a deaf God. He answered me through His
Word in James 1:2-4 – “Consider it pure joy my brothers whenever you face
trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produce
perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you maybe mature and
complete not lacking anything.” This led me to question myself, if I really do trust
God no matter what the outcome may be. It’s hard to say yes when I’m not in a
hard situation, but I know God is not done with me yet. I am still a work in
progress. Every day God is working in me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

pano ko maramdaman na nakikipagusap Siya sa akin. Katulad ni David, noong hindi
pa sya ang hari Israel, malaki talaga ang tiwala niya sa Panginoon. Kahit anong
ginawa ni Saul sa kanya, hindi parin siya naging marahas sa kanya at yong pananampalataya niya at higit na
paglapit sa Panginoon ang nagbigay lakas sa kanya para matiis ang mga

<i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes, I ask myself
“How can I know that God is speaking to me?” because there are times that I
cannot sense it. Like the story of king David, before the time that he was
enthroned as a King, Saul did many degrading things to humiliate him thus, this
became his stepping stone to be a Great Ruler of Israel. His faithfulness and his good relationship to
God gave him strength to endure those hardships. Because of this it encourages
me to continue walking in my Christian faith with Him. Finally, I now
understand how can I hear from Him and I’m praying even more that each day I
may give quality time to the Lord so I would know Him more through reading His
word and praying to Him.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Being a servant of Christ is not easy.
There’s a lot of persecution, frustration, and temptation but the Scripture
says <b>“<i>Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many
kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance”
(James 1:2-3NIV).</i></b> These words give strength to people who face a lot of
trials -- this is what the believers in the small village we are reaching out
are going through. Sometimes in our Bible studies, they just smile at us and give
no answer to the questions we ask about the Bible stories. Their smiles seemed
to hide the pain from the trials they are going through. My team continues to
encourage them with scriptures and remind them of God’s goodness and
faithfulness. Let’s Keep Advancing for the Kingdom! Glory and Honor belong to our God!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’ve got things to do too like Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, Peter and many
others whom we know from the Bible. You, me, and all believers along with our
forefathers were given a special task to accomplish. It is thrilling and

<span style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I need to be fit for the role and,
therefore, I must enroll in a course called <b><i>character development.</i></b>
There will be tests to pass, people to face, trials to overcome, battles to
win and hardships to endure. It is sure to be difficult for it will burn me,
smash and crush me---me and my pride, my hatred and my impure thoughts to name
a few. He knows what to do with me more than I do. He is the Wise Teacher and
Skilled Potter. He wants me to be a broken vessel. More than skill, He wants
character. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a story that will bring Glory to Him. I will fail, I am falling <i>(ako’y nadadapa)</i>. At some point, I said
"I have rolled in the mud." <i>(Minsan
ko na ring nasabing ‘’ako’y gumugulong sa putikan’’</i>), but my God is an
expressive God! He shows and expresses His love every day that I may remember<b>, <u>I am not in my past anymore.</u></b><u>

a new creation. Yes, I know, still I will fail, I will fall (surely many times
I will), as a clay pot, I’ll be broken over and over and over. But hey, the
chapters of my life have just started. God’s story through me isn’t over yet!
He is building me up, my character, for the later part of this story, for His
Glory! Why hasten? He is bringing new life to my family tree <u>now!<o:p></o:p></u></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif;">On January 30<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">,</span> 2017, we
started studying the third gate which is the Old Gate (Learning from the Past).
The book entitled <i>“The Tale of the Three
Kings”</i> by Gene Edwards helped me to understand how God works in the lives
of those who totally depend on him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif;">Moreover, the book was all about the
lives of Saul, David, and Absalom. During the time that Samuel anointed David
to become a King, he was not enthroned in the position to rule the Kingdom
instantly. <b>God wanted David to become a Great King, and for this to be
successful, it required a lot of pruning.</b> He started working on David’s
character first. He knew that this would not happen in a snap. David
needed to depend on God not on his own strength since it would take
a long time and would cause him great pain. " God had enrolled David in the school of
brokenness" and, in that university, he learned many indispensable things - David was broken over and over. Then He was ready to be king. And even when Absalom arrived on the scene, David just did what he knew to do- he did not let power consume his inner being- he was ready to give
up and lose everything, and that made him a Great king. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "candara" , sans-serif;">Thus, this shows that God has the
right to interrupt the lives of His followers. God needs to develop our
character first so that when he gives us a big task, we will be ready to handle
and finish it with such great character. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
