We had fun celeb
rating our baby girl’s second birthday! I can hardly believe she’s a toddler! These days she is quite the chatterbox and sings just about everywhere she goes. She has taken the three languages she hears around her, English, Cebuano, and Tagolog and has made it one. The people at church regularly ask her if she is Filipino or American on that particular day because of all the different words she uses. Little Abbie loves to go with me on Saturdays and watch as we do Backyard Bible Schools with the neighborhood children. We pray the Lord gives us wisdom as her parents to nurture her sweet spirit and that she’ll get saved at an early age! We are so blessed to have this energetic little one in our lives!
Graduation Day
We were happy to see our college students finish the college year well. Two young ladies completed their one year GIFT Program. The word GIFT stands for Grounded In Faith Training. It is a program which basically asks our young people to give the Lord one year of their life to ground themselves in Biblical principles. We have three remaining students who are going to continue a four year program, training for the ministry. We thank the Lord for these young people! They are the future of our church and we are excited to see what God is going to do in their lives!
Vacation Bible School 2013
This year North Cebu Baptist Church hosted its first ever Vacation Bible School! Vacation Bible School is something that you don’t see very often in Cebu so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. However, praise the Lord, we averaged about 150 kids every day! Each day provided the kids an opportunity to hear the gospel and have some fun. In the evenings we also had a program for teens called Teen Connection. It made for a busy week but the fruit from VBS and Teen Connection were well worth the effort. Several children and teens were saved and now we even have some who are coming to church as a direct result of these programs!
