And the Baby is…
We are excited to announce that baby Baran is…a BOY! We’ve finally decided on a name too, Philip Michael. Micah is thrilled to have a little brother and Abigail is slowly warming to the idea. :) Elizabeth is half way through the pregnancy so please pray for her and baby Philip throughout these coming months!
Exciting Times!
We want to praise the Lord for two more young men who were baptized this month! It has been our prayer to see souls saved and grow to be faithful members of the church. Too often in our world today, people make professions of faith and then disappear, never to be seen in our churches again. This leaves us to wonder if they were truly saved or if we failed somehow to help them grow. In my own personal witness, I do my best not to push someone to make a decision. If the heart is not ready to recognize their sin and their absolute need of a Savior, praying the sinner’s prayer is not going to help them. We must rely on the Holy Spirit as we share the Gospel with people and not pressure them to “get saved” before they are ready. Praise the Lord, the souls we have seen saved and baptized this month, have been faithfully attending church ever since. It is such an encouragement to see fruit that remains! These truly are exciting times for North Cebu Baptist Church!
Growing in Service
Categories: Updates
We have been so blessed to see the members of North Cebu Baptist Church get involved in the work of the ministry! From supporting the church financially to cooking for special events, we have watched the church grow in their service! Ralph and Jean are just one of the couples that have sacrificed their time and effort for the Lord. Each week they volunteer to help us with the youth group. I know the Lord is pleased when Christians step up and invest themselves in others. When we give our time to Christ He blesses us in so many ways: personal joy, a life full of purpose, and true happiness that comes from seeing Christ change a life! We are so thankful for our church as we work together to serve the Lord!
