Update, May 3, 2008

Greetings once again to you all in the precious name of our wonderful Savior the Lord Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

This past Thursday morning we had a baptism in the South China Sea. Two of the young people were baptized during the assembly outing down in San Fernando. It was good to see these young men making a very public testimony of their faith. They are both solid young men with a good future of service for our Lord.

Tomorrow, Sunday, is the last of four classes of the first session of Mini Bible School down at Baguio Gold. We hope to be able to complete chapter three of the book of Hebrews tomorrow, attendance has actually grown since the first week of classes and they are quite attentive. So we are thankful to the Lord. We pray it would be a time of encouragement for those dear saints.

Monday brings a full week of classes in the second session of Bible School at Navy Base Christian Fellowship. These classes will run each evening from 7-9 PM, our goal in this second session is to complete chapters 4-7 of the book of Hebrews.

Last Saturday we had a good Medical and Dental clinic at the chapel. There were well over 150 who came for treatment, and heard the gospel as well. Tracts were distributed, individual sharing of the gospel and the offer of free courses dealing with Salvation were offered. As a result, there were requests for about 20 correspondence courses from BSA (Bible School of the Air, the Emmaus work in the Philippines) and requests for Our Daily Bread, as well. The courses were distributed last Sunday to each family that requested them. Please pray that this study will bring Salvation to some.

Thank you all for praying. We do feel and see the results in the work of the Lord around us.
