Dear Brethren in the Lord:
“And if the family of
In their last reports, the brethren
mentioned that an intense tropical storm named ‘Ondoy’
(international codename: Ketsana) hit parts of
Central Luzon over the weekend of September, causing severe flooding to several
provinces and brought large parts of Metro Manila and surrounding areas to a
standstill. This destructive storm dumped a month's worth of rainfall in
The brethren said that at Bro. Arman's home, they were joined by Bro. Alfie
in studying
"Repentance Unto Life" in Bro. C.D. Cole's Volume II book, ‘Definitions
of Doctrine - Sin, Salvation and Service.’ May the Holy Spirit give these precious
souls a deep understanding of the truth and disassociate themselves from the
one-world church in the village that teaches another gospel. At the Floodway
Bible study, the work also continues to husband and wife Michael and Weng and an older housewife, Perlita.
The Bible study also continues at the home of Bro. Ruben and Sister Rosa at the
Dividend Homes, and also in Junction, Cainta. Bible study also continues with
Bro. Allan, Aldie, AJ, Arman,
Carla, and Bro. Allan's father-in-law, although he had been drinking before the
Bible study and was a little drunk when he entered the room. There was a new
visitor to prayer meeting, Joceylyn.
Please pray for Sister Lina,
who has been sick and has not been able to come to the worship service. We are
thankful to our Lord that Sister Josie, who has also been ill, is now feeling
better. In the GMA-Cavite and Laguna, the brethren said that the work of the
Lord continues and that the brethren there are struggling from the effects of
the global recession. Please pray for these precious souls that the Lord may
give them the grace to be firm in their faith in spite of these challenges, that they continue to serve and be a witness for
Him even when struggling with trials of life. Please also pray for those who
were given jobs, many of which require them to work on Sundays or during
irregular hours, that this does not become a stumbling block for them in
serving and worshiping our Lord, that they continue to
serve no matter what hardships and tribulations they face in their job
situation. Please pray for the young women who regularly attend services at
Silang,
The young people and
children continue to attend the Sunday worship service at Maybunga. There were
10 new visitors to the Sunday worship this past month. The Bible studies also
continue at the various locations: the home of Sister Fe on Thursday evenings,
7:30 pm, where one of the regular attendees brought her friend and some of
their relatives and neighbors to hear the Word including Maritess, Michelle and
others; at Boboy's home on Fridays, regularly
attended by Rowena, Mark , Marco, Ash, and sometimes Boboy,
and where there are many questions about
Catholicism and about how the Lord can work in the personal lives of
people and through their personal problems; on Saturdays at Sister Melany's home with Shierly,
Rodilyn, Maureen, Normel, Belen, Merlyn, Edison, and
Claire. The questions from this group have lately revolved around sin and
spiritual death. Please also pray for the brethren who are sick like Sister
Helen, Sister Julie and Sister Cely. The Bible study

We thank the Lord for the
brethren at
Church,
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
