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!

Come As A Child
To celebrate the true reason for the season, North Cebu Baptist Church hosted a Children’s Christmas Program. It’s something that both the kids and the parents look forward to each year! This year we had ninety children participate in our program, Come As A Child! They did a great job singing and making the program come to life. In all, we had forty-five parents come to see the program and hear the beautiful story of Christmas. Amidst the business of the season we need to always remember the miracle of Christ’s birth, a King who was born to die for this sinful world. There can be not doubt of the sin that plagues this earth. We are reminded of the human condition every time we watch the news or hear of an unimaginable crime that has been committed. All these things should make us turn to a loving God who offers a better way. He simply wants us to come as a child-believing in Him, repenting of our sin, and accepting Him alone as the way to heaven.
Family Day 2012
We had a special Sunday this past week at North Cebu Baptist Church! Family Day, a wonderful annual tradition was another great success this year! Brother Lewis preached a great message about the family’s foundation and one of the mother’s from our route even brought her husband! This is his third time visiting the church so please pray that he would be saved! Many Filipinos are family oriented and try to live a good life but what they must realize is that these things cannot take them to heaven. The Bible tells us that only Jesus Christ can do that and it is Christ who will also make us better fathers and mothers. Our good works cannot save us but once we accept Christ as our Savior we are compelled to live for Him and that will challenge us to love our families even more!
Youth Sunday
North Cebu Baptist Church hosted a special Sunday for the young people this past weekend. Both young adults and teenagers were invited for a day of fun and fellowship. We had seventy-six come with several visitors also in attendance! We were even blessed to see a few of these young people trust in the Lord as their Savior. Our day ended with the Bible College students and a few others leading the evening services in congregational singing, specials, and preaching. It was a great day which provided an opportunity for the young people to get out of their comfort zone, have some fun, and serve the Lord!
