Wedding Bells!

Several months ago, Jean and RaIMG_4646lph, came to our church looking for a place to set their roots and start their family. This Christian couple had found our church by sheer happenstance…they had discovered our home church’s website.  They enjoyed listening to Pastor Kohl’s sermons and even went through his marriage counseling on audio.  It was during this time that they realized that Faith Bible Baptist Church in Eden, NY had sent a missionary to Cebu, Philippines, the same island where they lived. After contacting me they asked for directions and visited our church.   They have been faithful ever since!  I was amazed when they started talking to me about my pastor-they knew his testimony of salvation and other details about his life. I laughed and said, “Are you sure you have never been to our church?” As their wedding date drew near we went through marriage counseling and enjoyed getting to know them more and more. When the big day finally came…I didn’t know who was more nervous-them or ME! I performed my first wedding and enjoyed celebrating the creation of a new family. I am so thankful that God guided this couple to us. He is the only one who could have brought us all together. We are so thankful for His blessings as we serve Him in Cebu!

Blessings from our New Routes

We have started a couple new routes and have been excited to see the turnout of children and adults.  In the beginning, when we first started looking for new places to teach we found one new area that didn’t look very promising.  We were thinking about moving on but a lady, Miss Meryl,  insisted that her neighborhood had several children who would come and listen to our Bible stories. That first Saturday she helped us tell the kids about our class and 12 children show up.  Encouraged to continue our class, we returned every Saturday and invited the people to our church services on Sunday.  Miss Meryl came faithfully for several Sundays and this past week she finally made that life changing decision to trust Christ as her Savior!  We are very thankful for Miss Meryl and that we made the decision to keep teaching in her neighborhood!

This year North Cebu Baptist Church celebrated Friend Day with more visitors from the States.  A youth group from Texas came and spent ten days with us, seeing the ministry and experiencing a brand new culture. They brought some beautiful Bibles with them for the church!  After Friend Day we awarded those who brought the most visitors with a brand new Bible.  You could see the excitement on the winner’s faces! The youth group was great blessing to us and we are so thankful for the time they spent with us here in Cebu!

NCBC’s 9 Year Anniversary!

This year we celebrated North Cebu Baptist Church’s 9 year anniversary!  We had a great attendance filled with both children and adults!  With approximately 200 children in attendance we knew our fellowship hall could not fit all these kids and held our Jr. Church services at a nearby gym.  Dr. Larry Brown was our special speaker and after the preaching 16 people made the decision to trust Christ as their Savior!  Dr. Brown married Pastor Travis’ mother, Miss Rhonda, a little over a year ago and together they were both a great blessing to our church!  God certainly blessed our special Sunday!  From our new route alone we had 65 people come to hear the Word of God preached!  Praise the Lord for great things HE has done!
