Update - November 30, 2011

Greetings to you all once again in the precious and peerless name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has “…ascended on high (and) led captivity captive and gave gifts to men”.  What a gracious victorious Savior we serve.

We completed the last local Bible School semester at Navy Base, a couple of weeks ago, on the Church.  It was a profitable series, for which we thank the Lord.  Next we will begin a new series on Eschatology which will deal with issues of hermeneutics as well as future events.  This new series of 40 hours of lessons will begin sometime in the new year, Lord willing.   We still have a semester  of Ecclesiology to teach down at Baguio Gold, which will begin in January.  This has also produced some good fruit in the assembly there.  It is such a blessing to see men and women following the written word with conviction in their hearts.

The weekly home bible studies are producing some long prayed for results as well, which gives us much to praise our Lord for.  In two of the studies those in attendance are now in fellowship at the assembly at Navy Base.  It is something we have been praying about for a long time.   These daily evening studies are a blessing, many of them are evangelistic in nature, and the remainder of them seek to build up the saints.  We are thankful for the opportunities the Lord has provided.

The women from the assembly at Navy Base enjoyed a women’s conference down in Malolos Bulucan last week.  One of the women who attended was from one of the weekly bible studies.  It was her first time to attend such a conference and she was blessed, as were the others.  We are just so thankful to the Lord for the fruit that His Spirit is producing in the hearts of men and women.  The men’s conference in Pangisanan is this coming Saturday and several of the men are planning on making the trip down.  We pray it will be a profitable time.

Thank you all so much for your prayers.  We believe in prayer.  We believe that the results and fruit that we have been experiencing lately are a result of your prayers.  May the Lord continue to bless you as you lift up His work here in Baguio.
