June Blessings

 

The photo above was taken by Sis. Tess as we were conducting a Bible study at Sis. Ruth's house in a village outside of Taguig City (this is in District 183 in Pasay City). There were at least 11 visitors besides our team. We are praying that the word of God would be understood, and that the Holy Spirit would convict hearts and that many would turn to the Lord and trust in Him as their personal Saviour. A tremendous blessing is that they would like to have us back in July - AMEN!

A couple of other blessings to share:

1. The Candelaria church planting ministry is now moved to a Sat. The missions team is made up of two precious families. They are holding a children's Bible Club in the morning, and an evangelistic Bible study in afternoon. Please pray for spiritual fruit. We desire to see a Biblical, Baptist church established in this municipality (Candelaria is a municipality in the Quezon Province region - about 65 miles south of our Tuktukan, Taguig City immersionist assembly).

2. A public school in Ususan village (right next door to Tuktukan) may allow us to have a Bible club. This would be a wonderful blessing and great door of opportunity opened to us by the Lord.

Thank you for your prayers. Please pray for God's strength and power and for souls to be saved, and for the saved to became true and good disciples of the Lord Jesus.

 What a blessing to share a testimony in song today and to offer our voices in praise to God for His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ who took our sins upon Him on the cross - "not in part, but the whole." AND "I bear it no more - praise the Lord, oh my soul!" Then, the message of the song looks forward to the day when "the faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, "Even so" it is well with my soul." Just a well done choral piece by Ms. Potter. BUT to God be glory, He surely is worthy of our praise!

The song is "It is Well" written back in 1873, by Horatio Spafford and put to the classic hymn format we now love and sing (music by Philip P. Bliss in 1876). This song is now public domain.

The arrangement we sang was produced by Ms. Julie Jones Potter, published by the Bill Rice Ranch Music for SATB, 2002.

Sing a-long with us - it isn't that hard to do! Here is a link to a better recording. Be well!
