New church plant:

This past weekend Paul and I were invited to be a part of another new church plant in Cavite City (just south of Manila). The pastor there was with us on the trip to Sorsagon and we have been very excited for his sending to take place. Edmund and Nitz Dela Cruz were sent out as pastor and pastor's wife from the Bible Baptist Temple in San Juaquin back in July. They have already been establishing home Bible studies and are meeting in homes 5 nights a week.

During the visitation/saturation time Saturday morning, we found that there were many in his area that were professing believers; however, they had not been baptized neither are they members of a local church. At the afternoon evangelistic meeting, we had about 75 in attendance and Paul preached the simple plan of salvation, showing the condition of man in his sin and how we can do nothing on our own to reach God, but yet, Christ came and gave His life so that He might bridge the gap and, by accepting this incredible gift, we can receive the eternal, abundant life God has to offer us. 7 glorious souls were added to God's kingdom that day and we give Him all the praise for those results. Better still, we received news from Ptr. Edmund that in his first Sunday morning service, he had 25 in attendance...there was a family that attended the Saturday meeting that even brought visitors to Sunday morning! Looks like God is already blessing...we cannot wait to see how God will be made known throughout the community there in Cavite.
