Need to make a quick update before things start to pile up. This week alone has been amazing. Aside from getting a paid vacation from my boss, some folks from the Bible study that Hazel and I are currently involved in have professed their faith. Our maid, who also happen to join these studies, also professed her faith.

I can still remember those times when we held these outreach program, they all looked bored. No signs of interest. Yawning here and there. I was so discouraged that I lost my passion for preaching to them. I was already at the time waiting for some big thing to happen to make me stop evangelizing to them. But this week has been amazing. Some people from Hazel’s group (Thursdays) and mine (Fridays and Saturdays) have professed. Some even made testimonies. According to them, they were already feeling the conviction in their hearts several weeks ago. Those were the times that I thought nothing is going thru their heads. But I was wrong. God was already working in them. And more importantly, God was working in me. Giving me a patient and humble heart. Teaching me that salvation is purely under God’s control and not mine. Praise God!

Our Church had several mission points. And according to the group leaders, they were already preaching the gospel to them for years and still had no converts. I thought to myself that I will be expecting the same thing especially for me since I’m new in the ministry. But I was already loosing my patience. I was already trying to learn how to love these people even if they don’t show any form of interest in the gospel. I thought to myself that its not only hard but its impossible for me. But I went anyway and continued on sharing the gospel. But when the moment I was preaching the gospel with no passion in me nor affection for these lost souls, that was the time that they spoke out and started to profess! It’s just amazing how God works in our lives. We still have a lot to learn from the ministry. It’s humbling and teaches us a lot of patience.

Behind us is a chili farm. we've been involved in ministering to these farmers for several weeks now.

Here is a rare picture of us Hazel. Behind us is a chili farm of one of our mission points. We’ve been involved in ministering to these farmers for several weeks now and some of them have already professed faith in Christ.
