God continued to do wonderful things in Fellowship Baptist Church Daraga despite the challenges we encountered during these two months. Weather hindered us from going out due to the monsoon rain prevailing in the area during these months. Heavy rain and flooding prevented everyone from outside activities so much so that sometimes even school classes were suspended to avoid untoward accidents and health issues. But God, in His mercy and grace, gave us some clear days so we could go out and do our usual soul-winning activities within the area and sometimes even in the neighboring town.
This weather condition also inspired our pastor to restart the church’s Men’s Discipleship Program. I was able to reach out to some church members, and I also invited four senior citizens in the neighborhood. It was highlighted with some pork barbecue and noodles after the event. The attendees were all full and satisfied with God’s Words, as well as physical food.
However, Satan is not pleased with what we are doing here. He continued sending us distraction after distraction. If not the weather this time, we needed to drive back to Laguna to attend to the document processing of our property. It was time- consuming, as we needed to follow them up personally.
But despite of all of these distractions, God still led us to 88 souls, with whom we shared the Gospel. We give back all of the glory to God and praise Him for His mercy and grace. May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to shower us with His blessings, His love, and His protection as we continue to work in His vineyard.
Please continue to pray for:
1. More provisions for the FBC Daraga EL ROI Refuge Ministry.
2. The power of the Holy Spirit as we saturate more areas with the Gospel so that many souls will get to know the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
3. God to open more doors in public schools in Daraga and Legaspi.
4. The new converts’ spiritual growth and faithfulness.
5. The building project, the right contractor, and the funds.
6. The FBA school year 2025-2026, which started in June, for the Holy Spirit’s guidance to teachers and students in FBA.
7. The spiritual growth of FBC’s new members, as well as the young people.
8. God to give us wisdom for the ministry He has entrusted to us.
9. The Holy Spirit’s leading us to a new place to serve Him closer to our home in Laguna.
For Christ’s cause,
Rey & Tess Garcia
