A Short October update

 Dear Friends,

1. Greetings to all. I trust that you all are serving the Lord with joy and thanksgiving. Let us remember that we can do all thing through Christ which strengthens us! AMEN!

2. We had a wonderful gathering of faithful children Sunday school attenders (even a few "perfect" attenders, meaning, zero absences for the past three months) - congratulations to those kiddos!

3. Since we have noticed a lot of rainy weekends, we decided to redeem the time with an after church video course on Bible Geography. Many stay after the services and enjoy seeing "the Holy Land" and getting more familiar with the Holy Bible and its contents relative to earth's most important real estate.

4. Preparations are being made now for a fun Christmas season with our Tuktukan Sunday school classes. The ladies have shopped and gathered some wonderful gifts to giveaway for the children.

5. We finished the book of Zechariah (thanks to the labors and teaching and preaching of Bro. RJay). We are working through the book of Romans in our afternoon service, 1 Samuel in our Adult Sunday school class, General Epistles in our Teen Sunday school. AND we just finished the Song of Solomon and are now on Ecclesiastes in our Mid-week service and prayer meeting.

6. Grace Baptist Church, Oxford, PA (Pastor Combs) gave a special offering which enabled us to purchase 50 beautiful English KJBs to give to our friends, and visitors. AMEN! Jehovah-Jireh!

7. Do pray for my Mom as she is suffering from her chronic kidney disease. She is in good spirits generally speaking, but could use your prayers. I would appreciate that, too.

8. Pray for safety. The Philippines has been rattled with some strong earthquakes. Flooded with lots of water from many recently revealed ghost flood control projects (that never even happened), and now there is distrust and anger from the people. Natural disasters and social unrest are just not good. BUT we all know that JESUS is still the answer - and we will trust in God and obey His words!
