Tuesday

Today our dear friend who has been bending over backwards to take care of us by cooking delicious meals at the house opened up to us and shared some personal things she really needs answers and strength for... No details to be shared here, but please pray for our friend Flor who in the process of encouragement, we led to the sinners prayer and asking Jesus to be the Lord of her life and to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  She said she felt really good for some reason after praying.  That's God for you.

Played some basketball with my nephew and had quality time there.  Then went to Uncle Paul's and Auntie Bayang.  A lot of discipleship, and stuff initially they were at odds with regarding doctrine but the scriptures speak for themselves.  There was a moment when Uncle was upset how can my mom allow me to change the "religion".  We brought it back to WHO are we worshipping, HOW we worshipping, and the change of life that accompanies the new life.  After the testimonies and the scriptures, they were on the amazed and delighted side.  Showed them the Lord wants to be worshipped alone, that we have access to do so, and we don't need to pray for the dead who are already judged, don't need to pray for angels, or even the Blessed Virgin, who wouldn't want us to worship her anyway, according to scriptures of the Bible.  In the end I gave Uncle a very precious thing that is dear to me...my old bible from 10 years.  It has questions that guide your thinking into good conclusions, along with the scriptures.  I learned a lot by going thru that particular one.  I asked Uncle to hold on to it until I see him again one day. 

Now we went to sleep in another city to get away.  Please pray for us to have a nice getaway, and site see somehow.  Tomorrow we'll be headed back afterwards to meet with the pastors of New Covenant Church.

A night ago, prayers were ansered :  The local New Covenenat Church came to meet us and got a permit at the local market to show the movie we bought "The Gospel of John".  It was a great time.  25 people or so showed up and stayed significant time.  In between the scriptures (narrated word for word to go along with the acting from the book of John in the Bible) I had a microphone and shared the very important insights that people really need to pay attention to.  Hopefully people were blessed.

We shared the Gospel and the pastor said it in tagolog after I said it in english.  I don't know who truly received it.  But the Lord surely used His Word, that the promise.  A piece of the puzzle was put in place for several, and i'm sure people who live nearby hiding in their homes as the movie was playing on loud speakers.

God bless!

Movie night....The Lord moved New Covenant church to do movie night at some point for the public, and it was an answer to each other's prayers as Tammy and I wanted to do that and show the Gospel of John.  God's answering our prayers!!!

Some spectators to the show.

New Covenant Church asked me to speak a couple times for the hour.  This picture shows me preaching with our friend Raymond on the authenticity of God's Word...I had built a case of how scientists are finding things that point to the Global Flood, and finding proof that dispels the myth that the earth was formed by naturalistic means by random chance and erosion.  Later we shared on historical and archaeological proof that support the prophesy predicting Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection.  Mathematical science shows that this is impossible to be an accident:  the Bible must be God's Word!

Uncle Paul and Auntie Bayang were introduced and arranged together by my Mom.  Here they are enjoying their gifts from my sister Carlin, and some from Tammy and me.

This is our cousin Mele's (who is with the Lord now) husband, our cuya Noel.  We love this man and his family.  They are so gracious to us.  He allowed us to stay in his home and he insisted that we stay in the main master room.  He brought his sister Tita Flor to take great care of us during the day, along with the rest of the family. 

Our cousin Doctor Art singing the night away with me.  We were singing Billy Joel's "You may be right, I maybe crazy!"

Tammy and my cousin Art sang til 11 pm on Christmas!!!!

We visited my cousin Mele's gravesite.  Cuya Noel gave me the honor of leading the family in prayer.  I read scriptures from the resurrection and life we can hope for in Heaven.

We played christmas songs and Tammy did a great job singing!

These kids work at the store and bakery and were so happy to cut loose from work and have a great celebration

My Cousin Carino was asked to design the catholic church, st michael's.  It is beautiful!  He did that some time ago.  He was disappointed they didn't put Jesus in the front center above the altar, instead the church decided to put the Archangel Michael there instead.
