Preaching at San Mateo, Tumauini, Isabela

The brethren at San Mateo Church of Christ located at San Mateo, Tumauini, Isabela conducted a gospel meeting with the goal of encouraging the brethren and introducing the church of our Lord Jesus Christ to friends and visitors. They invited three good preachers to preach for the said meeting; brother Edgar Licodini (preacher at Ilagan, Isabela) preached about "Pattern For Godly Family", then brother Greg Delos Reyes (preacher of Sampaguita Church of Christ) preached about "They Bear Witness of Me", and the third speaker was brother Rody Gumpad (preacher of Metro Tuguegarao Church of Christ) who preached about "How to Build Up the Church". The result of the meeting was a young boy who confessed Christ and expressed his desire to be baptized into Christ for the remission of his sins. The brethren were also very thankful for our visit for they were much edified and encouraged. We give all praise and glory to God.

The preacher at this local congregation is brother Randy Respicio. We were also given a chance to share short encouragements for our brethren in front and I was able to read to our brethren Galatians 1:8-9 and I explained that we are there to preach the only gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ for we do not like to be accursed. Brother Florendo Respicio preached first with the lesson about "Salvation". Brother Rody Gumpad also preached to us nice lessons about "The Original Church of Christ and the Modern Churches" and "The One Baptism of Ephesians 4".
