We left Tuguegarao very at around 5:30 in the morning on the 25th of March to attend th
e gospel meeting of our brethren at Dumabbato Sur, Maddela, Quirino. The preacher at the local co
ngregation is brother Reneboy Maranion. They do not have their own church building yet so what they did was they put a tent on a vacant lot for us to hold the meeting. The first speaker was brother Sammy Gamit who preached to us "The Importance of the Bible". Second speaker was brother Jay Gumpad who discussed "The Patriarchal Period". Third speaker was brother Ryan Thomas about "The Mosaical Period". Fourth speaker was your humble servant with the topic about "The Christian Period". Finally the last speaker was brother Rody Gumpad who preached about "The Second Coming of Christ". Brother Mark Daquioag led the invitation song and one (1) soul stepped forward and confessed Christ; after the meeting another young man approached their preacher and expressed his desire to be baptized for the remission of his sins, so we have two (2) baptisms at Maddela, Quirino. After the meeting at Maddela we went straight to Cabarroguis, Quirino to visit our brother Otey Pastor inside the jail and to preach with the inmates also (We would love to provide pictures also but unfortunately camera and cellphones are not allowed inside the jail). Brother Rody Gumpad preached about "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth". The result of the preaching inside the jail is indeed very encouraging for five (5) souls confessed Christ and expressed their desire to be baptized.
