UK TEAM....FIRST MISSION EXPOSURE AT NAGGASICAN

The UK team who arrived last September 17 had their first mission exposure at BJMP and Naggasican. After the service and water baptism at the BJMP, the team of David, Richard, Matthew, Ailsa, Ingrid, Miriam, Christy, Zoe and Jade went to Naggasican to join in the regular kid's service. The team taught the kids powerhouse songs and dances and had an exciting game (finding shoes) with them. A story about the small and big crabs was shared by Jade to the delight of the children. A dance number for the Lord was performed by Miriam and company. The children had memory verse. Candies were given to all the kids and chocolate biscuits were given to the five most behaved boys and five most behaved girls. Our UK friends were touched and amazed when a Naggasican kid, Harold, who is ten (10) years old, led the praise and worship. Finally, at the end of the service, the Naggasican kids together with some young people and UK team danced the Ten Commandments Boogie. What an exciting service!

In the afternoon at 2 pm, other members of the UK team, Dad David, Ingrid, Ailsa, Nichola, Matthew, Gilbert, Kim, Mark, Sharon and Elizabeth, came for the Street Pastor ministry. They went around Naggasican with Ptr. Danny Mangadap and the Cornerstone Church Naggasican leaders and deacons, visiting houses, praying for the sick and every people they met on the streets.

In the evening at 6:30 pm, Ptr. Aran together with Miriam, David, Gilbert, Zoe, Jade and Christy came back to Naggasican to join the young people in their regular Youth Service. Everybody felt the presence of the Lord during the powerful praise and worship. Young people testified about their dreams and visions. Gilbert, Christy and Miriam also testified of the Lord's goodness in their lives. A dance number for the Lord was performed by Miriam, Jade, Christy and Zoe. All the young people moved forward during the altar call and all the pastors and the UK team prayed for them. God's presence was really so tremendous and awesome.

To God be the glory!

WE SHALL CONTINUE TO GROW

The Section 4 meeting of licensed preachers and exhorters was held at Balintocatoc AoG Church yesterday, September 14, 2010 at Balintocatoc, Santiago City. The attendance was great as 45 pastors, ministers, preachers and exhorters attended the meeting.

The meeting started with the sharing of God's Word by Ptr. Joji Ayenza. He said that all AoG churches or pastors need a WIFE, which stands for W -worship, I - instruction of the Word of God, F - fellowship and E - evangelism. Without WIFE, you are doing out of the kingdom of God.

He encouraged each one that Section 4 shall continue to grow.

Rev. Nestor Domingo, the Presbyter, presided the meeting which started at 9:30 am and ended at 1:45 in the afternoon. The meeting was a success having a good number of attendees, lots of healthy deliberations and discussions, good foods and great fellowship. Important points in the meeting were the upcoming MISSION CONVENTION on September 28 to 30, 201o to be held at the Sefton Fire Center, Sefton Village, Santiago City, AoG SECTION 4 YOUTH GATHERING on September 18 and 25 and MEN'S DISTRICT CONVENTION on November 7 to 9, 2010

Who will take our place when we're gone

A pastor who is eighty six years of age and fifty six years in the ministry said during a pastors conference "It's time to prepare our young people". I thank God for I learned to trust the younger ones. Since I turned over the Cornerstone Church in Ramon to Pastor Charlie and Pastor Osmar, I have observe that the youth group is growing spiritually and in number. Every Saturday, they have a cell group and music practice. I am so blessed with the young people because they allow God to use them. My vision and dream is to see this young pastors and young people doing great things for God's glory.

We are so bless and happy for the new guitar given by the guitar aid which the young people are using at the church. Thank you very much!

Fun and fellowship..

We organized a basketball game and it was held at the Sefton Fire Center, Sefton Village, Divisoria, Santiago City. I brought the youth from Echague and invited our own pastors to have a friendly game with them. What a day! We really played hard!

We look forward to having this activity once a month, as a way of

evangelism and fellowship.
