December 12: Bible Study at Capadeco, Gonzaga, Cagayan

We give praise and thanks to the Lord for this fruitful day and for the opportunity to further proclaim the gospel. Brethren Rody Gumpad, Tessie Gumpad, Jay Gumpad, Jun Gumpad, Mark Daquioag, and your humble servant was given another chance to visit our brethren and friends in Capadeco, Gonzaga, Cagayan. We hit the highway very early in the morning to arrive at the place early and to have more opportunity to be together with our brethren, along the way we picked up brother Fidelfin Miranda. As we arrived we took turns in singing with our brethren and friends. After the singing and prayer brother Rody Gumpad stood up and preached to us a lesson entitled "Go...Preach the Gospel". It is very encouraging to observe these friends and brethren who sincerely listens to the preaching; they hear of the importance to be saved, they felt that they needed to be saved, and they are willing to obey the gospel of Christ for them to be saved that is why when we extended the invitation song 11 souls went forward and confessed Christ with the desire to be baptized for the remission of their sins. Before we baptize the 11 souls 5 more of our friends approached us and informed us that they wanted to be baptized also for their salvation. The Lord surely is happy for the 16 precious souls that He added to His church.
Our new brethren are the following: 1) Rogelio Villarubia, 2) Dacusin de Vera, 3) Dominador Pedro, 4) Dalmacio Pattong, 5) Remedios Alvarez, 6) Renato Alvarez, 7) Ronald Campus, 8) Fernando Cadang, 9) Jerwin Salem, 10) Dionisia Espana, 11) Jay-ar Domingo, 12) Marcelo Espana, 13) Glory Aparajiola, 14) Felicidad Cadang, 15) Alfonsa Yadaw, 16) Jerwin Alvarez.
