It has been quite some time since this blog has been updated, and so much has happened. With every passing day, we bear witness to the grace of God in what He does through His people.
The last quarter of the past year has been truly wonderful in that it opened to us doors for more learning and service.
In October we held our Annual Camp Meeting and were much refreshed by the review of the pillars of our faith. November saw us thankful for another year of service through the airwaves with the celebration of the Radio Ministry's 9th Anniversary. In December, we became better acquainted with another congregation of Present Truth Believers who are based in Luzon. Pastor and Sister Catubigan were graced with the opportunity to attend their annual camp meeting and were very much blessed by it.
The acquaintance has been such a blessing that we have invited the said ministry to our very own camp meeting this summer. That's something we can all look forward to. Details about the upcoming camp meeting will be saved for the next post, so do come back and see.
Besides the camp meeting, we are also gearing up for Vacation Bible School and the possibility of visiting our Luzon brethren again for their Youth Congress.
As for these past months, we have been busy making improvements in the church lot and building, establishing our Publishing Office, holding medical missionary classes and cooking demonstrations for the members, and putting together a youth choir, among others.
God has also brought us in touch with four other churches in and around Davao City with whom we can learn and work together as we realize that the time we live is indeed God's time for gathering together His precious jewels and preparing them for the last great work.
We have also had the opportunity to extend help to our brethren in Compostela Valley who were victims of the typhoon Pablo. The scene was truly devastating - another reminder from God that we are nearing the end of our time and we ought to take up our work more seriously than ever before. We are planning a second visit to the area in the next few months. Should you be impressed to help in this cause, please contact us through our email address: royalvalleyfreesda@gmail.com
I'll be posting photos and updates in the days to follow and I'm hoping that you will come back to follow the progress of the church. If you are involved with a church and/or a ministry, we would also be very happy to hear of you and the work that you do.
May the Lord prosper all our efforts as we endeavor to serve Him and work with Him!
