Brother Ryan Thomas preached first with the lesson "Good Words and Fair Speech"; after that the brethren requested me to summarize the lesson in Tagalog for the benefit of other brethren and friends who cannot understand English.

Construction of baptistry at Palca Church of Christ

December 8, 2009: Brother Mark Daquioag, preacher of Palca Church of Christ, asked me, brother Jay Gumpad, and brother Robert Rances to help them in constructing their baptistry at Palca. We all went to Palca and we did the construction of the baptistry, we were also helped by brother Lino Quinez and brother Joshua in the construction. The brethren were very happy watching while we are making the baptistry because now they do not have to travel far to baptize someone who would like to obey to the gospel of Christ.

Gospel Meeting at Illuru Church of Christ

December 1, 2009: Our group left home very excited to attend the gospel meeting of our brethren at Illuru, Rizal, Cagayan; the place is about two to three hours drive from our place. Brethren Jerry Soliva, Mario Garma, and Cornelio Abig help each other in preaching for our brethren at Illuru Church of Christ. The trip was a little dangerous for it was raining and the road is very muddy, this is a situation not new to us for we have visited the place about four times already; we expected the road situation same as we expected the possibilities of having close encounter with rebel soldiers. We thank God that He guided us and help us arrive at the place safe. When we arrived at the venue it was still raining and the place was muddy but we were greatly encouraged for we saw the brethren patiently and happily waiting for us. We started the meeting immediately with brother Robert Pader as the first speaker and preached a lesson about "Teamwork in the Church". Brother Florendo Respicio preached the second with the topic "The giving That The Bible Teaches". Brother Rody Gumpad also preached about "God Has Spoken" and "Don't Stay Away From Church". We had a short break, had our lunch and continued with the meeting. I thank God also for the opportunity He gave me to be able to preach to our brethren; I prepared a lesson about "Man And His Destiny". After the gospel meeting we had a short conversation with our brethren and we hurried home to catch our midweek bible study at Metro Tuguegarao Church of Christ. We arrived safe home and in the midweek bible study I was able to teach "Psalms 42".
