Dear Praying Friends,
My Mom went home to be with the Lord on Nov. 15 of this year. Though we are sad and grieve, we do not grieve as those who have no hope. She trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation a few years back. Praise God for His amazing grace! Thank the Lord for His great sacrifice on the cross and for His empty tomb. Please pray for wisdom and strength as we navigate through a host of things regarding mom's properties, etc. Pray also for family and friends to come to know the Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour.
Today, Marcia and the boys and I were able to get our latest family photos. Many of our supporting churches request an updated family photo, so, please feel free to email me a request for that, and I will be glad to get one to you upon request.
We have a couple of important meetings ahead. FIRST, our Thanksgiving Service on Wed. night, Nov. 26. We invited Preacher Mark Ratac and his wife, Sis. Jemima to come and preach and teach God's word to our people and their family, friends, and invited guests. We always enjoy an evening of eating, playing, and preaching. AMEN! SECOND, I have a special day of Bible education session at a church a few miles away. I will be teaching on The Fall of Man (Gen. 3). Please pray for God's words to be presented clearly and with Holy Spirit power. Please pray for hearts to be opened up and for those who are not saved to get saved, and for those who are saved to grow in the Lord. THIRD, We have an up-coming Lord's Supper with special training for Bro. Kenneth. He is a faithful man (along with his wife, Sis. Sherie) and I am training him to administer the Lord's Supper - so he gets to do it and I get to serve in it. Praise God for faithful men who shall be able to teach others also. PRAISE GOD! FOURTH, We have a special speaker for the first Sunday in December - Dr. Jed Raquintan. He is a faithful pastor and seminary director based out of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Quezon City. We can't wait to hear what the Lord has laid on his heart to preach and teach to us on that special Sunday.
Well, God is good and we thank God for His amazing grace. Thank you, dear praying friends for your love, prayers, and support. We thank the Lord for counting us faithful and putting us into the ministry!
Serving the Lord with gladness,
Bro. Bill, Sis. Marcia, W.T. and Joseph
