Hello there my friend! This past few weeks have been very busy for us doing church activities and lots of stuffs! By the way, I’ll share to you about our fellow Singaporeans who went here in Santiago City for a mission! There where 13 of them who went here and they are all mixed up, some are adults and some are youths! This past few weeks the Singapore team went to every church activities like Cell group, BJMP ministry or Jail ministry, feeding programs and lots of activities! The team has been led by Sis. Brenda and Sister Christine and We’ve seen their efforts handling the team! The team from Singapore arrived on Tuesday 2am if I’m not mistaken and after taking a rest they have went in and stay in Royal palm, when we asked some of the youth with Sis. Brenda (as we where having our leader’s cell group) they said that they’re staying at palm spring near Sefton Village! Then we mumble and think… and ask everyone on the group… do you know where palm spring is??? Then everybody where thinking where palm spring is! LOL, and when we realize that it was Royal Palm, we all laughed and laughed and everything went very happy as we where having our cell group with the leaders of CCS and with the Singapore youths! Actually our Cell Group was on Wednesday night, I’m just very excited to share all the happy moments with them! :D, on Wednesday morning, they’ve went to the Hospital Visitation and feeding program in SIGH and have seen lives of people who have illnesses and they prayed for them! After having the feeding program and visitation of the sick ate liezel, our Vice Chairman in the Youth Department, went to our house and ask me to go with them in their Cell Group with the students of SCNHS at lunch time! Imagine that! They’re having their Cell group at lunch time! What a sacrifice! And as we go in the meeting place called KALIKASAN PARK, we’ve started doing the worship as we wait for the Singapore team to arrive! Then Sister Christine shared the word of God to the youth and encourages the young people not to lose focus and have a purpose in life!
On Thursday they’ve went into different church activities, like feeding program and lots of stuffs! Then Ptr. Mark Assigned the Singapore team and designate them into different pastors and everyone went and buy to the market place for the eating fellowship at Pastor Adonis’s house at night! And the Pastors and Singaporeans cooked what they have been assigned to cook! And after cooking they’ve went to the house of Pastor Adonis and altogether they eat! I’m very sorry for myself, I’m not there. I was supposed to but we where having our music practice in the church! :D
On Friday, if I’m not mistaken, they’ve gone to banaue to see the beautiful rice terraces! And they’ve come back around 7:00 pm and they’ve attended our youth service and Christine was the one who preached, then she mentioned that there are 3 great people in the bible whom God has choose, it’s David, Shamgar and Gideon! Then she encourages all the youth and has an altar call and many youth have responded to the call! And after we’ve finished the youth service the Singaporean went to their hotel and takes their rest, and we together with the pastor and youths have our overnight prayer meeting! There are around 10 people who attended to seek God’s plan for the City of Santiago!
And on Saturday, I’ve taken my rest in the morning and didn’t know what the Singaporeans are doing! : D, and on afternoon my father and my brother went to canvass the price of electric guitar and as they went back they’ve already bought the guitar, I thought they were to canvass! : D, by the way! Our father ask us to bring the guitar to the church in nagassican and as we go there we’ve seen the Singapore team teaching the little children and telling them bible stories, I’ve only seen Kelly, one of the team, share bible stories. What a great blessing!
And on Sunday, yesterday! The Singaporeans were distributed on different Cornerstone Churches; in the main church we had Sister Brenda together with Faith or pananampalataya as mentioned by Pastor Marlou, :D and with Sister Noelle! Noelle shared about her testimony in life, she works as a pharmacist and in her life there was a big storm and the thing that encourages her was the word of God, I’m sorry I’ve forgotten the verse that she have shared. And after that big storm, her income got double! Not only doubled but its 4 times the amount of her income with her bonuses! Praise God for that! After sharing her testimony Sister Faith took over to share the word of God! She shared to us to stir up the gift of God. As she goes on with her message the word of God, she say’s these things… God only looks at who we are, whom we have touch our bring impact to the lives of others and how we use our God given talents! After that we had our lunch with them and have fellowship even though we are not that sociable! : D, and on the afternoon, the team brought all their baggage in the church and take a little rest! And on 4:00 pm we’ve had our dinner with them! What a very strange thing, coz we Filipinos ate our dinner at 7 or 8 pm, LOL, then at 6:00 pm we’ve had our night service and Sister joy shared the word of God and it really touched me, she shared about PERSISTENT PRAYERI she shared this three points as she goes down to her message,
We can persist in prayer if we:
1. Trust in God
2. We faith
3. Hold on to the promises of God
I’ve been very bless as she impart those things to us, coz I’ve been finding the will of God in my life and has been seeking to hear the voice of God, in the past few months, I’ve been discouraged and ask God, are you there? Why aren’t you answering all my prayers? And as Sister Joy share her message I’ve been encouraged and motivated to continue praying persistently! Thank you Sister Joy!
After the night service the team has had their meeting and ate bibingka and puto bumbong! : D, after their meeting they gathered all their baggage and is preparing to leave Santiago… T_T
At 9:30 pm, we’ve brought all their stuffs to the terminal as we wait for them to arrive. When they enter the bus, it seems I’ve been missing them already! T_T this is all I can say guys! Hope you read it! Hope to see you soon again friends from Singapore! Missing you already guys! You’ve been a very big blessing to us! God Bless!
