Philippines Mission Letter: January 2024

Dear Brethren,

May this newsletter find you in good health and high spirits as we share the latest developments and blessings in our service to the Lord and our community.

Our young members recently participated in a two-day workshop and seminar titled ‘Speaking and Writing for the Master,’ where they had the opportunity to hone their communication skills and effectively convey the message of God’s love through spoken and written word. Furthermore, our ongoing involvement in providing continuous moral education has been yielding positive changes in the lives of the people within our community. From fostering empathy and compassion to promoting integrity and honesty, the discussions on moral values have inspired individuals to uphold ethical standards in their decision-making processes. Additionally, we remain committed to engaging with parents benefiting from the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s 4Ps program, facilitating family development sessions to promote balanced growth.

We are profoundly thankful to the Lord for guiding us to individuals who are earnestly seeking spiritual enlightenment. Through the love and initiative of our brethren, we have been able to share the message of hope and abundant life in Christ with those who are receptive. Additionally, our follow-up lessons with new Christians have been blessed by the Lord, nurturing their spiritual growth and understanding. And, with hearts filled with gratitude, we rejoice with the angels in heaven in celebrating the salvation of two precious souls this month: Jesus Flores and Mary Rose Begino. Their decision to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins, after comprehending the significance of being in Christ, fills us with joy and gratitude.

From the depths of our hearts, we express our sincerest gratitude for standing with us in this journey of faith and service. Without your continued support, love, prayers, kindness, and generosity, we would not be able to carry out the important work entrusted to us.
