Last Saturday evening one of the municipal counselors for the island of Patnanungan prayed to receive the Lord, following around 2 hours of sharing the gospel with her at a Bible study in her home. It was such a memorable evening. She was very responsive and enthusiastic, and was so ready and eager to pray to receive the Lord, along with another neighbor that came there as well! I’ll probably never forget her radiant smile, and rippling laughter amidst the tears after she whole-heartedly prayed to accept the Lord. She was so excited and appreciative!
Even before getting back to Tarlac City this week, we got a text of appreciation from her – (here’s part of it) “…Thank u for sharing me Jesus and taught me to accept as my Savior” So cool! That one contact would have been worth the whole trip, but there was a whole lot more happening…
We were able to share the gospel in some of the schools – distributing Bibles and Bible reading guides and talking about the value and importance of God’s Word. We had exciting Bible studies; mountain moving and property development projects at our mission base; discipleship training sessions; Sun services; counseling opportunities and open doors to share the gospel; testimonies of answers to prayer and healings; progress with repairs/maintenance; boat improvements, and even some swim time at several white beach islands, etc…
It was a great trip!
