Dear Brethren in the Lord:
“This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that
come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. In that day shall there be upon
the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the Lord’s
house shall be like the bowls before the altar." (Zechariah 14: 19 - 20)
In their last reports, the brethren said that Bible study and visitation
continue in different homes in the Floodway area, Pembo-Makati and Kapasigan. On
Thursdays at 7 p.m., the brethren visit the house of Sister Fe and have Bible
study there. Last Thursday, Jay, Marithess, Marlon, Sister Fe, Manilyn, and one
of their teenage friends attended. On Fridays, the brethren have Bible study at
Boboy's house, with his wife Rowena, and teenage children. On Saturdays, the
brethren go to Sister Melany's house in Makati, where Merlyn, Belen, Shierly,
Rodilyn, Maureen, and others gather together to hear the Word. Rodilyn raised a
question on what the Lord teaches about the power of sin, result of sin and the
penalty of sin. These issues were answered during the Bible study on the “Hope
of the Glorious Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Please pray for Shierly, that
by His mercy, she may seek God in repentance and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
At 7 p.m. on Saturdays, the brethren hold Bible teaching with Michael, Monmon,
Lea, Mia, Arjie, and other relatives. Please pray in behalf of Rona, Mang Bert,
Dan and family, Percy, Aling Charito and her family, Mang Gerry, Jaype, Bia, and
others, that they may find grace to understand the Eternal Truth on the doctrine
of grace, predestination, unconditional election, sovereignty of God in
salvation, the Rapture, Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and the Literal Millennial
Reign of our King and Lord Jesus Christ. They belong to one-world-church groups
that teach another gospel. On Sunday afternoons, there is Bible study at Sitio
Rosario, where the attendees have questions on repentance and faith in the Lord
and the Providence of God in overcoming personal and family problems. About five
to eight visitors come to attend church at the Sunday worship service in
Maybunga. Some participants attending the Bible studies had questions about the
role of faith in their personal lives, giving the brethren the opportunity to
encourage them to put their full trust in the Lord. Please continue to pray for
these precious souls whom the Lord has brought to His work, that as they listen
to God’s Word, they may become wise unto salvation. The study of the Word is
also being brought to Sister Julie, Sister Helen, Bro. Reynan, Sister Analyn,
Bro. Litoy, Sister Cely and her family.
The young adults from Paliparan, Dasmarinas (Ariel, Cheriel and Che-Che, and
others) have joined the brethren in the work at GMA, Cavite. At the present
time, Bro. Rolan helps as Bible teacher in the Sunday school and worship
services both in Laguna and Cavite. The brethren have also begun a Bible
teaching for the youth group every Sunday. They gather together at the home of
Sister Lina, sometimes at Sister Josie's residence in San Pedro, Laguna for the
Sunday afternoon worship service. The brothers and sisters continue to
participate in the Lord's work joined by Sister Anavir, Sister Jeanne, Sister
Jairuleen and Sister Jaiseree. There is one church member, who is suffering from
illness but tries faithfully to be present at worship services, bringing along
her medicine, so that she can take it to prevent an attack while at the service.
Bible study, visitation and worship service continue in Bulihan, Silang and GMA,
Cavite.
The work at surrounding villages in Taytay, Rizal continues as scheduled. In the
Floodway-Taytay Bible study, this last week the participants were Ka Myrna,
Juvy, Joceyln, Mary Knoll, Weng, Michael, and JP. At Dividend Homes, they had
the usual attendees of Bro. Ruben, Sister Rosa and Bro. Aries. During the
worship services, Carla's friend Ricky comes as a church visitor. Bro. Arman and
Alfie de Leon continue to study the Word, and are currently studying "Repentance
Unto Life" by Bro. C.D. Cole. In Cainta, Bible study reaches Carla, Arlan,
Arman, Ka Fred, and Bro. Allan if he has a day-off from his driving job, as well
as Sister Maricar, if she does not have to work.
We thank the Lord for the brethren at Grace Baptist Church in Mt.Vernon,
Georgetown, KY; South Irvine Baptist Church, Irvine, KY; Bryan Station Baptist
Church, Lexington, KY; Ocoonita Missionary Baptist Church in Jonesville, VA;
and, the other brethren from the Lord's Churches of like faith and order, for
your continued financial support and most especially for your faithful prayers
in our behalf and the Lord's work. May we grow stronger in God's grace as we
wait for His soon return. "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ." (Titus 2:13)
In His glorious service,
Bro. Ed Quetua
