Hello Brethren & friends..!Last December 02/2010 three American brothers (bro. Ron Halbrook, bro. Steve Wallace, and bro. Travis Pyle) together with two faithful Filipino brothers ( bro. Jonathan Carino and Sigualdo Jaco) were arrived in the city of Puerto Princesa to conduct a two days Bible lectureship for the faithful saints, and gospel preachers in the island of Palawan, and of course to invite also those leaders in the denomination groups such as "Pastors", " Bible Woman", etc. This event has been worked out for almost three months before the actual date of Bible lectures. It is a laborious and expensive events but through prayers and solidarity among the brethren involved, this Bible lectures had been successfully done. December 03-04/2010 the Bible Lectureship had been conducted at A&A Plaza Hotel, it was attended by more than 70 gospel preachers from the island of Palawan and more than 30 pastors and leaders from the group of denominations... then on December 05/2010 the three American brothers with the two Filipino brothers attended the worship service at Puerto Princesa City church of Christ. Then, in about 2 P.M. of December 05/2010 the three American brothers were held a Bible Classes exclusively for the gospel preachers in Palawan, this classes was designed to discussed before the gospel preachers in Palawan those issues that divided among the brethren for many years, such as "one cup issues", "No-divided classes", " No located preachers", "Mutual edification", "liberalism", " Unity -in- Diversity", etc. It was all appreciated by the gospel preachers here in Palawan.. for the very first time they heard and learned what the real issues that divided over the brethren for many years now...

A visiting brother in Christ from General Santos City...!
It is always good to acquiant with our brethren in the Lord! Brother Jolly Julom, our brother in the Lord and a fellow gospel preacher from General Santos City was arrived here in the island of Palawan last August 25/2010. The purpuse of his coming was to visit some of his relatives and friends here in Puerto Princesa and in the town of Quezon. In Quezon, he was able to have a gospel meeting appointments to his former friends in "Alliance church". No conversion yet, but it's open the door for us to do a follow teaching to the 15 souls that he was taught. As you know, Brother Jolly Julom was formerly in the group of "Alliance church" serving as Pastor for 35 years, but when he learned the truth and obeyed the gospel, he leave this group and now he is faithfully serving the Lord and in to His one true church (the church of Christ - Matt.16:18; Acts 20:28; Eph.5:23; Col 1:18).

Baptism of Seven (7) souls in Isumbo church of Christ a Newly started congregation...!
I made several preaching trip last June 2010 in Southern part of Palawan, particularly in the village of Isumbo Espanola, Palawan, to help Brother Judson Montimor and bro. Danilo Belviz (my younger brother in the flesh) to open a new local congregation there. At first, we had an initial (3) three families contacts for Home bible study; these families are in the faith of “Assemblies of God”. But sadly, two years ago some their group members was scattered due to the extra-marital affair of their pastor to one of the lady member in their congregation. But these three (3) families were one of those who continue in their faith having lead by their “woman preacher” they called it “pastora”.
Fortunately, two (2) months ago these families were meet by my brother and Judson Montimor while they are doing a Bible tracts (“THE ONE TRUE CHURCH” and “BAPTISM ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE”) distribution in this community. These Families were become interested having more questions asked to brother Judson Montimor and bro. Danilo Belviz, since then, the Home Bible study had been arranged and conducted every Friday afternoon and I am fortunate to study the Bible with these interested family.
This last June 26/2010 I preached again to these families, our lesson was about “ENTERING THE CHURCH”. Then invitation song was extended and seven (7) souls came forward, confessed their faith and they were baptized into Christ! To God all be the glory. - In Christian love, Dario D. Belviz

As scheduled, I preached to the newly brethren in Isumbo congregation a lesson about “AFTER CONVERSION” as newly converted into Christ, I want them to remember some things; that they are now a New Creature, Babes in Christ, facing critical period, and there is a possibility of falling among Christians. But God wants them to; Love Him first, Study the word, pray always, Assemble regularly, give, and help save others.

Gospel Meeting in Burirao church of Christ - February 24-26/2010..!
Hello to all the brethren! I am gladly share to you some of the pictures that had been taken during the gospel meeting in Burirao church of Christ at Narra, Palawan last February 24-26/2010. This Gospel meeting had been attended by our fellow gospel Preachers and invited guest from this small community. Hoping that you have time to see it.. In Christian love, Dario D. Belviz
Our newly Baptized brethren; Brother Romeo Antonio -29 years old, his wife, sister Adelina Antonio-27 years old, and another sister, Estella Ventoral -19 years old. All of them was a member of "Grace Gospel church of Christ-Things to come Mission" but thanks to the Lord that they learned the truth and obeyed the gospel, they are now belong to the one true church of the Lord..But, let us pray for them for they surely facing terrible persecutions from their family and former fellow member from their former group...!
I am discussing about "Water Baptism" for the information of those attendees who is a member of the group called " Grace Gospel church of Christ - Things to come Mission". This group strongly believed that water baptism had been ceased and the baptism of Holy Spirit is need to be practice by those who want to be a children of God. They also believe that water baptism had been practiced only by the 12 apostle and when the grace dispensation had come through the preaching of Apostle Paul, the practice of Water baptism had no effect for the remissions of sins. On my discussion I carefully reputed all these false teaching by the light of the scriptures. At the end of our discussion it was a big surprised to us for the three(3) souls from this group who want to be baptize into Christ...!
