April 27 - Kayapa Ministries

We arrived back from Kayapa safe and sound yesterday afternoon after smoking brakes and cars that had the water boiling in the radiators.  It was a hard drive both ways, but after a few stops to let the cars recover, we made it safely back to Baguio.

The time spend in Kayapa was profitable. There were over 30 kids out to the VBS programs and close to 40 people out for the film showing.  I was amazed to see them intently watching the movie on Thursday night.  All eyes were glued to the screen, even to watch the credits at the end. 
We also had Bible studies with those who where around during the time VBS was going on.  It was a good time of study with many questions being asked.  We met some other brothers and sisters in Christ who have been hungry for teaching.  Next time they want us to come and visit their place and have a Bible study.  It is just a three hour hike across the mountains.  Lord willing we will be able to have a study in that area the next time we visit and we are praying to establish two more studies in the surrounding areas as well. 

The next we travel over to Kayapa we plan to visit families scattered around the mountain side and try to begin these new home Bible studies as the Lord leads, then to return,  initially once a month, to teach.  We are thankful to the Lord for what He is doing in the hearts of the people in this region. We were so well received by all.  

 Thank you all for your prayers…

April 25, 2012 The Lord's work in the Central Luzon Mountains

Greetings to you all and thank you once again for all your prayers.  Tomorrow, (Thurs. 4-26) we head back over the mountains to Kayapa for a two day outreach.  It is a rather hard drive for me on some very steep and windy roads through the mountains. We will be leaving Baguio at about 6 AM and plan to hold a VBS program in Kayapa both on Thursday  and Friday mornings.  In the afternoons we plan on doing visitation and some evangelistic Bible studies as the Lord opens opportunities.  Thursday evening we plan on showing a gospel film.  Please be praying for this new outreach that the Lord would save souls and establish a new work in this area for His glory.  Two assemblies are working together in this endeavor there will be 16 of us from the Navy Base assembly traveling over and 12 from another assembly in Nueva Vizcaya. 

Tuesday of next week (May 1) the Navy Base assembly will be having an outing down at the beach in San Fernando.  We will be having a baptism at this time as well.  Seven are planning on being baptized at this time.  What a blessing to see these dear saints desiring to be obedient to the Lord.

 Wednesday of next week we will be driving down to Manila and would appreciate your prayers. I will be speaking at the assembly in San Juan on May 6th.

Continue to pray that the Lord would keep our car running well without any breakdowns over these mountain roads as well as on our trip down to Manila.

Thank you all once again for taking the time from your busy day to read this update on the Lord’s work here in the mountains of Central Luzon.  May the Lord bless you all for HIS glory.
