Seven (7) souls added into Christ today as a result of the gospel meeting at Malapat, Cordon, Isabela. We (Rody G
umpad, Dennis Yuson, Robert Rances, Jun Gumpad, Mark Daquioag,
and Jerome Forelo) excitedly travelled towards Malapa
t, Cordon, Isabela to be with our brethren in their gospel meeting. As we arrived we were met by excited brethren, sweet smiles and warm greetings were shared. We shared good news with each other and we shared experiences in l
ives that we had which can help in
our growth spiritually. Suddenly I felt a deep pain in my heart when I learned that our brethren here had just recently experienced
something not usual to them. When t
yphoon "Emong" hit the Philippines it poured much rain that most of the rivers around our
area overflowed, the river near our brethren's place also overflowed that flooded their place; the flood was deep as half of the church building was submerged in water and most of the bibles and song books that they are using were destroyed by the flood. Despite of these things that happened to them they still remained strong and are trying hard to continue in serving our God. We encouraged them, utter prayers for them and hoped we can do more for them to comfort them more. So we continued in studying. Brother Domie Jacob taught first about "Salvation" wherein he discussed about the kind of salvation taught in the bible. brother Lorenzo Lazaro followed him and preached about "Steadfastness"; he persuaded each one to be steadfast, unmovable,and to always abound in the work of the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). He assured the listeners, through the bible, that those who will endure unto the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13). After the lessons preached brother Larry Gatchalian led the invitation song and 4 souls stepped forward and confessed Christ. After a short lunch and more conversations with our brethren we continued with the gospel meeting. Brother Rody gumpad taught about "The Original Church of Christ and the Modern Churches". Brother Rody discussed about the True Church, how and when was it established; he also discussed about the different denominational churches and explained their differences from the church that Jesus built. After the teaching another invitation song was extended and three (3) more souls came forward and gave their desire to be baptized into Christ for the remmission of their sins. All parted ways after the meeting with faith recharged and more encouraged by the words of Christ.
