In His Word, with
the people He loved
Community Ministry
Thirty-one days living with the
people here in Barangay Bandera, Samal Island, Davao Del Norte was full on
wonder. God is using or always working around these people. I learn many things
from them and at the same time somehow they learn from us. Weekends are my
favorite time because we get the chance to hike up for two kilometers from our
base camp going to the main place of the barangay. God gave me the patience to
deal with these people; first and foremost with their language even I am not
good in speaking Cebuano that God is just so great that He never let that be a
hindrance. Indeed God just open doors, homes, hearts and highways for us to
share the gospel to these people. Currently we have 30-50 people that we had
Gospel presentation and about 10 Bible Studies that are being conducted during
weekends. God can do amazing things in a short period of time. Please continue
to pray for Brgy.Bandera and the whole Samal Island as well. To God be the
glory!
EXPERIENCING GOD
It takes an airplane ride and to
stay in an island to appreciate how God touches lives through this workbook
Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and Claude V. King. I have seen this book
many times in our home where my mom uses this book as a Sunday school material.
This time my own workbook, my own experience with God and in an island. God
showed me so many ways how to reach people groups. He taught me to listen only
to His voice, be obedient and follow His commands, be faithful to Him and be
prayerful in everything that I do. This book equips me to be His faithful
servant. He is molding and shaping me. Indeed God is my potter and I am His
clay. Saying “Lord, I will follow You, even if I don’t know the way. I will never ask the question again. “Lord
what is you will in my life? better yet, Lord, what is your will ? The focus needs to be on God not my life!
To be loved by God is the highest relationship, the highest position in
life. Yes I cannot serve both God
and money. God is just leading me in the right path. Lastly God invites me to join Him.
“My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too, am
working. I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself, he can do
only what he sees his Father doing. Because whatever the Father does, the Son
also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does.
