Preaching at Baguio City Metropolitan Church of Christ

July 6, 2009: The group of brother Kurt Jones, Rody Gumpad, Warner Macusi, Jerome Forelo, Mark Daquioag, Jay Gumpad, Jun Gumpad, Tessie Gumpad, and Elvie Macusi left Tuguegarao City to travel to Baguio City for the preaching at Baguio City Metropolitan Church of Christ. I held the steering wheel at around 6:00 in the morning and we, with much thanks to God, were able to arrive safe at Baguio City around 1:30 in the afternoon. We immediately checked-in a hotel, had our short rest, and met the brethren at Baguio City Metropolitan Church of Christ 5:00 in the afternoon. The brethren are waiting for us with much excitement; we shared good news with one another and gave each other words of encouragement to continually serve our god. The hardworking preacher of this congregation is brother Burt Enostacion. Brother Kurt Jones delivered a very informative lesson about "The Kingdom - Church That Could Not Be Shaken". The preaching was a success and we were all very blessed from the words of God that we heard. We understood that Christ built His church for us to be added into it and for us to be able to go with Christ at His return (Ephesians 5:23), thus, we must continually do our very best in staying inside the kingdom by serving God acceptably with reverence and godly fear (Hebrews 12:28-29).
