Bito Church - December 2010

A couple of months ago, a worker was installed in Bito, Malita and we're all carefully observing the progress of the work there. Bro. Ben Negre's wife, Sis. Beth, joined him in Bito to aid in the work there. She accompanies him during house calls and specializes in teaching youth and kids in the church.

A few weeks ago, Bro. Ben had to be brought back to Davao due to a knee injury he incurred during his stay in Bito. Sis. Beth, along with Sis. Wylie Ann "Nene" Mariano, then faithfully took up the work there in order to hold the people who come to church but are unable to keep up the services.

When Sis. Nene had to come back to Davao for a few days due to a death in the family, four young people were sent out to aid Sis. Beth in the Sabbath programs.

While there are still only few adults present during the church service, there was a fair number of youth there who actively help Sis. Beth to the best of their abilities.

The service went well. During Sabbath School, Sis. Ruth Mae Canonero talked about giving praise and thanks to God. The lesson was conducted by Sis. Gladys Laguardia. A member of the church, Bro. Boni, also shared his knowledge on health by giving a short lecture about the digestive system. For the Divine Service, Bro. Joseph Baldemor spoke about giving the heart to Jesus. In the afternoon, Sis. Jaylyn Esperanza gave a follow-through to Bro. Boni's lecture by elaborating on the digestive system and how it can be better cared for.








Before heading back to Davao, we visited an active church member who was sick and thus couldn't make it to the Sabbath program.

The endeavor in Bito needs much work and much prayer. Please include this work in your prayers.
