Planting Churches in Pangasinan, Philippines

Dear Praying Friends,
PRAISE THE LORD !!!!
This is the email that we have been wanting to send for as long as we
can remember! This is why we came here. Today we had our first converts!
Oh, you just can't imagine how high we are flying today. We are just so
thrilled and so excited that God has used us here in Bolosan,
Pangasinan.
For the last 4 weeks , we have held our adult ( family) Bible Study.
It started out with one lady. But through visitation and outreach, it
has grown to 6 faithful adults and 10 children.
Ferd has walked them
through the Gospel step by step for the last 4
weeks. Slowly explaining and showing them straight from the Bible. He
began with their purpose- where did they come from & why they are here.
Then he taught them about Sin and Jesus Christ who came to take away
that sin. Today, they were brought to the crossroads. He spoke about
eternity and how that they can know right now that they have a home in
Heaven and a personal relationship with Christ.
All 4 ladies accepted
Christ as their personal Saviour right here
in our living room! Praise the Lord.
PRAYER REQUEST
Our other 2 faithful ladies were unable to make it today. Last night,
the elderly lady that comes every week, had to be rushed to the hospital
with chest pains. Her daughter in law( the other faithful lady that
attends) is staying with her there. We just returned from the hospital
to visit her, and she is doing good, and will be released tomorrow. As
far as we know, both these ladies have not accepted Christ yet, but they
have been attending the Study with us. Please pray for them that they
too will accept Christ as their Saviour.
Please Pray!!!
1. Lola and Voile's Salvation ( the 2 that are at the hospital that have
not accepted Christ yet)
2. Our first 4 converts for spiritual growth as we begin to disciple
them-
Mae- a teenager
Veda- a 40 year old mother of 4
Maricell- a 22 year old mother of 3
and JoAn- a 30 something single lady
3. More adults to be reached- Specifically pray for the men. Pray that
the husbands of the 2 married ladies will come. We keep inviting them,
but they havent come yet.
4. Children's Ministry- Going Great! We have about 40 Primaries and 30
Preschoolers attending regularly in our Sunday School clubs. We just
finished Creation and are dealing with Sin now. Pray for these little
hearts too.
Thank you for partnering with us here in Bolosan through your prayers
and support. We are just so happy today. It makes it all worth it when
souls are saved.
Reaching the Pangasinan people through you,
Ferdinand ,Christie & Sean
