Bible
Believers Philippines holds Follow-up Meetings for Mystery Expo converts
By Brother Vernon Manahan
Last
January 10 to January 12 2007, Pastor Ross Franco
of Baras, Rizal, hosted a Mystery Expo Seminar and was attended by various
ministers from different groups. In this seminar, a series of teaching was
done on the Seven Church Ages. The Pastors who conducted the series of teaching
were Pastor Danny Del Mundo, Pastor Ronnie
Millevo Pastor Cernan Banagan and Pastor
Roel Soriano. As a result of this seminar,
some of the attendees requested a follow-up seminar which was held in the
Bible Believers Office. This follow up seminar started last January 30,
2007 and continued thereon every Tuesday. The said seminar is scheduled
to end on March 27,2007. Topics such as the Serpent’s seed, Predestination,
New Birth and the Godhead were discussed in series.
It
has been truly a blessing to those who have attended the seminars and
one of the attendees Pastor Romulo Salcedo,
requested Brother Ross Franco if they can also start a seminar in Caloocan
City to share the Message to their own group of ministers thereat. We
continue to ask for your prayers that God will move in the hearts of
these ministers that they may recognize the liberating Message of the
Hour that was sent in our days.
Filipino
Church in Milan-Italy, Established
Four
years ago, Pastor Roel Soriano went to
Milan, Italy, to visit a group of Filipino Christians headed by a UPC
Minister Brother Martin Lacabra who started
to have their independent congregation. Another Filipino Brother, Brother
Rey Cabildo acted as the Associate Pastor.
Apparently, two of the members there are sisters-in law of Brother Joey
Miguel who is presently the Associate Pastor of Brother Ray
Soriano in Pasig Church. Brother Joey has been sharing the Message
to her sisters-in-law many years ago and was regularly sending Message
books and preaching tapes. Because of this, his sisters-in –law
eventually accepted the Message and wanted to share it to the said group.
When Brother Roel went there last August 2003, he started sharing the
Message to Brother Martin and Brother Rey. He then continued to send
materials for them to know more about the Message.
A
year later, in November 2004, Brother Roel went back to Italy to visit
the the said group and he found out that Brother Rey Cabildo is the
one in charge of the group so at this point, he helped them in setting
up the church with it’s deacons and other officers and he ordained
Brother Rey Cabildo as the Pastor of that Church which is now established
in the Message. Brother Roel was also instrumental in linking this church
to other Message Churches in Europe. Brother Rey Cabildo is also continuously
going on-line to listen to the services in Cloverdale Bibleway under
Pastor Ed Byskal.
Last
March 7, 2007, Brother Willie Dalisay,
the church treasurer and a co-worker of Brother Rey Cabildo in Italy
went to the office of Bible Believers in the Philippines to get translated
Message books. He requested a regular supply of the books for the Filipino
brethren in Italy who has now a total member of twenty five souls. Praise
be to God for all His wonderful works. Truly He is continually calling
out His Bride from the different parts of the world. Help us to pray
that God will continue to mature them in the Message.
Newly
Baptized in Laguna Province
Recently
we have gathered the following testimonies from the Pastors who are
continuously laboring in God’s vineyard. According to Brother
Benjie Musa, a Pastor from General Trias,
Cavite, he was able to baptize six souls in their church. One of them
who is selling newspaper to earn a living has been attending his church
for the last three months while the other one is his co-employee who
has attended his church for one year. Four of them belong to one family
who were invited by Brother Benjie’s Associate Minister to attend
their services last month. By God’s grace all of them decided
to accept this Message and be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus
Christ last February 25, 2007.
Another
Pastor in Laguna, Brother Adlai Gentolizo
informed us that he recently baptized two sisters and one brother in
their church. The husbands of these two sisters were already Message
believers and after continuously praying for the conversion of their
respective wives, their prayers were answered. The other brother was
already a constant attendee until he decided to accept the Lord in his
life and be baptized. Brother Adlai’s co-Minister in his church
has recently opened a bible study group with twelve attendees. This
Bible study is one of their efforts in spreading the Message in different
parts of the Province of Laguna.
As
the Lord continue to call souls, let us pray for these faithful laborers
who continuously win souls for the glory of God. May the Lord continue to
provide for the Ministry needs until the last predestinated seed be found.
