HOLY WEEK ACTIVITIES: House-to-house Evangelism and Jesus Film Showing

The CFFC leaders and members went on missions! ‘Twas really a very fulfilling and unforgettable holy week for all of us as we conduct our house-to-house evangelism and Jesus Film Showing last April 21 and 22, 2011 (Holy Thursday and Good Friday) at barangays Doña Paulina and Cebu here in our town San Isidro, Isabela.

Drawn by the passion to serve the Lord, the leaders in one accord, made all the preparations –transporting of the musical equipments and chairs from the church to the barangays. The team prayed before the house-to-house evangelisms that were started around 3pm in the two barangays. The leaders and members were grouped into three groups represented by the men, women and youth groups. The groups were able to share the love of God and His offer of salvation. 25 people were reached-out and prayed to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. What a great opportunity bringing and ushering people to God!

The film showings were done in the evenings of April 21 and 22. The first film showing was done at the Community Center of Doña Paulina, San Isidro, Isabela. Barangay Captain Velasco, who gave his welcome remarks, with his wife and members of his council were able to watched “The Public Life of Jesus” dubbed in the Filipino (Tagalog) language from start to finish! Many were blessed watching the film entirely taken form the Gospel of Luke. Ptr. James Bastian gave the message.

During the second evening, the pavement beside the concrete road in Purok 4, Cebu, San Isidro, Isabela were flocked by the barangay people who were able to come as early as 6:30pm. They were able to participate in singing, clapping and dancing led by the praise and worship team. After a short introduction on the film by Ptr. Alexander Ritua, the film showing started.


For almost two hours, the people were really focused and attentively watched the film. Ptr. Jose Adonis Manango blessed the people and led them to Christ in a prayer of acceptance. In closing, he prayed for all of them that God will bless them and they will continue to know the Lord more as they have started a personal relationship with Him.

The team gathered together, praised and thanked God after the two-day activities knowing that our labours in the Lord are not in vain (I Corinthians 15:58). The host families served refreshments afterwards.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
