Categotry Archives: Updates

This year I was able to attend a couple of the evenings services at the annual tent meeting that Old Time Baptist Church hosted. I had a good time hearing the Word of God being preached by the Holy Spirit through the different men that spoke. I was challenged to redeem the time and to keep keeping on. I looked at some of the seasoned preachers and how they have been faithful throughout the years by God’s grace and I know I can be faithful like them if I keep close to my blessed Lord. I was also privileged to have meet Pastor Ed Lorena of San Pedro, Laguna Philippines. The Lord has intrusted him as the undershepherd of a great work. The church that he pastors runs about 3,000 in attendance weekly and is heavily involved in local and worldwide evangelism. I was able to talk to him during some of the meal times and asked him several questions about the Lord’s work in the Philippines. I was blessed to have learned several valuable things that will help me when I get to the Philippines. The Lord is so good to put people in your lives at the time that you need them. Praise His Holy name!

Praise the Lord for giving me another opportunity to be able to help in another vacation Bible school. This time I was able to work with Bro. Tom Geer. He has been a very influential person in my life. It has been a privilege to have worked with him. He really has a heart for the children. God has used him and continues to use him. He was one of the few missionaries that I can remember who came to me when I was a young boy and seriously asked me to pray for the ministry that the Lord has entrusted him with. I have a lot of respect for him. I look forward to working with him again in the future. The theme of the week was children under construction. The children responded really well to the preaching and teaching of God’s Word. I was asked to teach the memory verse of each day to the 3-4th grade boys. I had a good time!
