Yesterday morning, jubilantly received the photo's of Baptism that was took place at the Village of Lada Brooke's Point, Palawan. Three (3) precious souls was baptized into the one body of Christ. This was the fruit of jointly efforts of our fellow gospel preachers in Brooke's Point Palawan namely; bro. Jonathan Sapitula, Emmanuel Sapitula, Sammy Cabansa, Wilfredo Estiandan and more. This past few weeks these brethren conducted a Home Bible study to their contact at Lada Village. Fortunately, on their first session their were 20 in attendace who attended the Bible study, one of the visitor is a member of "one cup" group who loved to argue to our brothers in the issue of "Lord Supper". And this gave to our brethren the opportunity to better explain to this "one cup" visitor. Then, this last 07/13/09 around 6:00 P.M. a follow-up Home Bible study was done by our brothers and it was resulted the Baptism of these three precious souls of the same night. Once more, we rejoice to our Lord Jesus Christ to these new addition to His blessed kindom.

The Action of Baptism: "...and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him." (Acts 8:38) " Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life" (Rome 6:3-4).
