CIW Outreach 7th Anniversary
2010YearI Our auditorium was again fully packed every Sunday morning as all areas worked hard for the success of our onemonth Anniversary celebration. 14,685 visitors were able to come, and thousands of souls were saved. We were also blessed to have Dr. Tim Rabon, Dr. Larry Clayton and Bro. Joe Knouf as our guest speakers.
God blessed us with additional property here in our subdivision last March. Baptist City is slowly taking place! 50 young people were taught to play various musical instruments last May. DRAFTS (Developing Rendered Abilities For The Saviour) is a great avenue to help our vision of church orchestra come to reality.
One-day Soulwinning Clinic was held last April 9 to teach many of our new converts how to win souls and to refresh and enhance our faithful soulwinners. About 200 kids were fed phyically, but most of all spiritually, as God used our church in reaching them last March 12. We may not be able to provide all that they need, but we have given them that which is most important. PAGE 04 | JANUARY 02 | ACTS 29
Our Annual Youth Conference every last week of April registered more than 700 delegates. 156 made a public decision after being challenged from the divided sessions and preachings delivered by Bro. Peter Folger of Cleveland, Ohio.

The last 2 weeks of May were allotted for Daily Vacation Bible School. This resulted to 1,196 graduates, and 2,564 souls that professed for salvation. Hundreds of members worked hard and saw great results.
Our Annual Missions Conference was well attended last Nov 30 - Dec. 2, with about 500 delegates from other churches. Challenge to support missionaries and a call for more missionaries became the main goal of this event. 3 foreign outreaches were opened this year. 2 of them are in Chungli and Taichung, Taiwan Both were started on the first quarter of this year. Dr. Ed was present when first Sunday Service was held last July 11 in Singapore.
Rev. Jun Garapan, Rev. Rey Calma, Rev. Duke Lumictin, Rev. Jess Sibug and Rev. Meljun Laurena were all publicly ordained as Gospel ministers during a special service last June 30. Frontliners and long-time active church members were both honored and given special plaques last August 29. Testimonies and special songs were rendered to encourage many to be involved in the ministry.
After four years of sacrifice and hard work, Dr. Ed led the dedication of CBBC Administration building during the last Thursday of Missions Conference. This now houses the Pastor’s Office, Prophet’s Chamber, additional classrooms and a beautiful lobby which can be used for various fellowship--activities. Thank God for another landmark of His faithfulness!

the final score
Another year is dawning; dear Father, let it be, In working or in waiting, another year with thee. Another year of progress, another year of praise, Another year of proving thy presence all the days. Another year of service, of witness for thy love; Another year of training for holier work above. Another year is dawning; dear Father, let it be, on earth, or else in heaven, another year for thee.

How the
E
Came into
VERYBODY knows the Bible has been and continues to be the world’s best seller, but not everybody knows just how this amazing Book came down to us today. God used three wonderful methods as He carefully carved out the most blessed of all books, the Bible. These three “tools of the Trinity” are referred to as revelation, inspiration, and illumination. Around 1400 B.C. God began to call some forty persons into his presence. Oh, He didn’t call them in all at once, mind you. In fact, it took Him nearly fifteen centuries to complete the job. He spoke the burden of His great heart in simple but sublime language to those chosen forty. With a holy hush they heard Him tell of creation and corruption, of condemnation, justification, sanctification, and glorification. Weighty words, indeed. When he had finished, the first tool in carving out the Bible was set aside. Revelation had occurred. Now we see the almighty Author as He quickly but carefully guides each chosen human vessel in his assigned writing task. Each of the forty is dealt with individually. Job, a rich farmer, will write differently than will Amos, a poor farmer. The words of the educated Paul will be more complicated on occasion than those of the uneducated John or Peter. But all will carry with them the divine approval of heaven itself. Finally, the last scribe lays down his (or her) pen. The Creator lays aside the second tool in the making of his manuscript. Inspiration has taken place. Soon many thousands of men and women join the ranks of those original forty and begin their assigned task of taking God’s glory story to the uttermost parts of the earth. As they do, untold multitudes are stopped in their tracks, convinced in their hearts, and saved from their damnation. By what secret power did all this take place? The answer is simple: the Author of the Bible is using the third and final tool. Illumination continues to take place. And so the Scriptures are shaped. To summarize, think of the three tools as follows: Revelation: From God to man (man hears that which God wants written). Inspiration: From man to paper (man writes that which God wants written). Illumination: From paper to heart (man receives the light of that which God has written).

Quotation Marks "Procrastination is the thief of time. It steals away our life. And if we knew the hour of our death, we should be no more prepared for it than we are now."

Ayon sa Biblia, Iisa Lamang ang Daan Patungong Langit! NG sabi ni Hesus, “Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: walang makapupunta sa Ama kundi sa pamamagitan ko.” Juan 14:6
Wala nang iba pang makapagliligtas sa iyo mula sa impierno. Magtiwala ka kay Hesus ngayon! (Roma 6:23) “Kung ipahahayag ng iyong bibig na si Hesus ay Panginoon at mananampalataya ka nang buong puso na Siya’y muling binuhay ng Diyos, ikaw ay maliligtas”. Roma 10:9 1. Aminin mo na ikaw ay isang makasalanan. Roma 3:10 2. Talikuran mo ang iyong mga kasalanan (magsisi). Gawa 17:30 3. Manampalataya ka na si Kristo Hesus ay namatay para sa iyo, nalibing at nabuhay namagmuli. Roma 10:9-10 4. Sa pamamagitan ng panalangin, tanggapin mo si Hesus sa iyong puso bilang iyong Tagapagligtas. Roma 10:13
MANALANGIN KA NG GANITO Panginoon, ako po ay isang makasalanan at nangangailangan ng kapatawaran. Nanampalataya po ako na nadanak ang dugo ni Hesus at Siya ay namatay sa krus para sa akin. Tinatalikuran ko na po ang aking mga kasalanan. Tinatanggap ko po si Kristo Hesus sa aking puso bilang aking Tagapagligtas. Amen. Kung tinanggap mo si Hesus bilang iyong Tagapagligtas, ito na ang simula ng iyong bagong buhay kay Kristo (Roma 8:1). Ngayon: 1. Basahin mo ang iyong Biblia araw-araw upang makilala pa ng lubusan si Kristo Hesus. 2. Makipag-usap ka sa Diyos sa panalangin araw-araw. 3. Manambahan ka sa isang simbahan na pinapangaral si Kristo at ang Biblia ang tanging pamantayan. 4. Ibahagi sa iba si Kristo Hesus.
