Dear Brethren in the Lord:
“And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." (Daniel 7:14)
Based on their last reports, the brethren said that the Lord added to His church five precious souls, who gladly received God’s Word and followed Him in Scriptural
baptism. We greatly thank the Lord for Brother Azriel and Sister Jaiseree, who grew up in the church and have been going to Sunday school since they were children;
for Brother Roel, who works as a security guard and has been attending church for the last five years; and, also for Brother Reynan and Brother Rommel, who are
two of the participants in our weekly Bible study using Brother C.D. Cole’s ‘Definitions of Doctrine’ books (Vol. I, II, III). Brother Roel, Brother Azriel and Sister
Jaiseree were Scripturally baptized last 20th February, 1 p.m., Saturday, at a scenic river in Barangay Kaong, Silang, Cavite, joined by two other church members
from GMA, Cavite. Brother Reynan and Brother Rommel were Scripturally baptized last 12th February, Friday, 9 a.m. at Sitio Parkwood near the rainforest
Floodway, Pasig area. “Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power,” (Psalms 110:3) “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am
God, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 5:22) “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;” (Heb.12:2) “Who his own self bare our sins in his own
body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
In commemoration of the church anniversary in Maybunga, the brethren held a thanksgiving worship last 11th February to exalt our Lord for His greatness and
faithfulness. The messages delivered were: “Call upon the Lord to His Praise and Glory” (Gen. 8:18-22, Gen. 9:1, Eph.1:5, 6, 11-12, Ps. 42:1-2, Ps. 27:4);
“As for Me and My House, We will Serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:14-16); “Obedience is Better than Sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:21-23); and, “Beware of the Devil’s
Devices” (Heb. 3:12-14, I Peter 5:8).
By God’s grace, the weekly Bible study continues at the Floodway areas, Rosario, Pembo and Taguig. Manang Carmelita attended the Bible study in Pembo,
Makati last Saturday. She requested for a continuity of the Bible teaching with the rest of her family. In the Bible study at Rosario, there were questions raised
about the Pre-tribulation Rapture and the Literal Millennial Reign of our Lord Jesus Christ, which were discussed and answered in accordance with the Scriptures.
We thank the Lord for the visitors who attend church at Maybunga: Lea, Mia, Michael, Nico, Maritess and her friend, Nanay Phoebe and family, Helen, Arjie, J.R.,
Tricia, Mark, Rodilyn, Shierly, Marlon, Joanna, other adults, teenagers and children. Please pray in behalf of the precious souls from Laguna, Bicol, etc. : Mang
Bert, Elvie, Mang Sito, Romel and family, Nanay Mel and family, Sister Lina and family, Aling Cora, Sister Julie and family, Brother Rommel, Tim, Sister Helen,
Glenda and family, Brother Reynan, Sister Analyn, Mang Fred, Sarah Mae, Sister Cely and family, Sister Josie and family, Zenaida, Joselito, Ineng and family,
Josephine, some teenagers and children, that they may walk in the light of our Lord’s countenance and rejoice in His Name.
The brethren in Cavite are setting up a new Bible study at Phase I, Bulihan in Sitio Silang every Saturday at 3 in the afternoon. They also continue to meet at
members' homes for Bible studies; last week at the home of Sister Josie in San Pedro, Laguna, where they studied the Babylonian origin of pagan holidays,
lucky charm superstitions, perverted festivals and the worldly religious celebration of heathen holidays. In Jeremiah 10:2, Deut. 12:30-32, Jer. 25: 6, Isaiah
5:20-21, Jer. 7:17-20, 1 Cor. 10:20-21, Deut. 18:9-14, Jer. 16: 19-21, Deut. 6:14 and Deut. 6:14, God’s people are admonished not to learn the ways of the
heathen. They concluded that these non-Biblical religious holidays are paganistic in origin, heathen in practice (Cain’s heresy in Gen. 4:3-16), evil in content, form
and spirit. They’re nothing but plain worship of false gods---the sin of idolatry, which is an abomination to the Lord. Please pray in behalf of Sister Anavir’s
husband, that our Lord may give him the wisdom to follow and obey Him faithfully.
The Bible study continues in the Floodway area with Michael, Weng, Maryknoll, JP, Maribel, Mary Ann, and Jocelyn. Brother Arman and Alfie, continue to attend
the Sunday morning and evening worship in Mahinhin, Taytay. The lessons in their weekly Bible study are taken from Brother C.D. Cole's "The Doctrine of God"
book (Vol. I). Please pray that they may continue to inquire of the Lord and walk in His truth and righteousness. The Bible study at Junction, Cainta has been
temporarily halted, but the brethren are working to get it going again as soon as possible. Please pray for Brother Villaflor, that the Lord may reveal Himself to
him in the understanding of the Great Truth through the power of the Holy Spirit. The brethren recently visited with some new souls who wanted to hear God’s
Word---Gina, Gloria, and Myla. Please remember them in your faithful prayers.
We thank the Lord for the brethren at Grace Baptist Church in Mt.Vernon, Georgetown, KY; South Irvine Baptist Church, Irvine, KY; Bryan Station Baptist
Church, Lexington, KY; Ocoonita Missionary Baptist Church in Jonesville, VA; and, the other brethren from the Lord's Churches of like faith and order, for
your continued financial support and most especially for your faithful prayers in our behalf and the Lord's work. May we grow stronger in God's grace as we
wait for His soon return. "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ." (Titus 2:13)
In His glorious service,
Bro. Ed Quetua
