Church In Action
From the Pastor’s Desk
T
o be a help is a great blessing! This is what our theme, “Revival through our Involvement,” exhorts. We should rejoice that the Lord is offering to us chances to get involved through our various Church ministries. Likewise, He is opening to us opportunities to minister to others by His grace. Let us welcome these doors of service through our soulwinning pursuits, our teaching programs, our discipleship sessions, our music ministry endeavors, our giving privileges, and our prayer-intercessions. Let us be a help in fulfilling the Great Commission through our area-involvement, through our Church-participation and mission-contribution. Let us be a help in the realization of our Baptist City project by sharing our resources for our lot commitment. Once again, I enjoin everybody to have a part in the Lord’s work. Surely, everything that we give and every effort that we exert for the Lord through His power and for His glory will be rewarded.

“KABAHAGI KA BA SA GAWAIN?” Beata B. Agustin
Ang gawain ng Diyos ay nangangailangan ng mga kabahagi… Pwede ka, Kapatid, dahil nakasandig ka kay Hesus na haligi. Nandyan ang mga kaluluwang papunta sa impyerno ng pagkalugi Akayin mo sila kay Kristo upang sila sa sala’y magwagi! Ang gawain ng Diyos ay naghihintay ng mga manggagawa… Pwede ka, Kapatid, dahil nakatanggap ka kay Hesus ng awa. Nandyan ang mga kakilala mong sa kahirapa’y nananawa Dalhin mo sila kay Kristong nagbibigay ng tunay na tuwa! Ang gawain ng Diyos ay nagtatawag ng mga katuwang… Pwede ka, Kapatid, dahil sa katotohanan ni Hesus, ika’y nagdiriwang. Nandiyan ang mga kamag-anak mong sa Biblya’y walang kamuwang-muwang Gabayan mo sila kay Kristo nang sa Kanyang ilaw sila’y di gigiwang-giwang! Ang gawain ng Diyos ay nagdadagdag ng mga makakasali… Pwede ka, Kapatid, dahil nakakaranas ka kay Hesus ng pagkandili. Nandiyan ang mga kapitbahay mong sa bisyo’y nakatali Yakagin mo sila kay Kristong nag-aayos ng pagkakamali! Ang gawain ng Diyos ay nanghihikayat sa mga tutugon… Pwede ka, Kapatid, dahil sa langit na inihanda ni Hesus ka paroroon. Nandiyan ang mga kaibigan mong sa kamunduhan nakatuon Ituro mo sila kay Kristo na kaligtasan sa kanila ang layon! Ang gawain ng Diyos ay namamanhikan sa mga mananalangin… Pwede ka, Kapatid, dahil kay Kristo ka nananampalataya’t nakatingin. Nandiyan ang mga kababayan mong itinutulak ng Diyablo sa kanyang bangin Idulog mo sila kay Kristong sasagip sa kanila sa pag-ibig Niyang matulungin! Ang gawain ng Diyos ay naghahamon sa mga magtataguyod… Pwede ka, Kapatid, dahil nakatira ka sa kalooban ni Hesus na nakalulugod. Nandiyan ang mga kapatiran mong tapat na naglilingkod Samahan mo sila kay Kristo sa kanilang masayang pagsisikap at pagsunod!

Ministry for the Deaf The Ministry for the Deaf has been operative since 1994 with three deaf attendees on its first Sunday service. By God’s grace, there are now hundreds of deaf members attending the church. The CBBC School for the Deaf is one great maintaining factor for the deaf members and an encouraging vehicle for their families and other friends to know the Lord, be saved, and grow in faith. CBBC School for the Deaf was established in 2000 with eight students. Dr. Ed Laurena saw the need to educate the deaf members with hearing impairment. This is in tune with the church’s obedience to the Lord’s Great Commission—to preach and teach the Word to every creature. Aside from learning academics, students are being trained in the church to be future leaders, enabling them to minister also to other deaf people. There are already four graduates of the College Deaf Education who have surrendered fulltime in the teaching vocation. To date, there are 77 active students who will be promoted to their next grade level this coming school year. The Ministry for the Deaf is one of the most, if not the most challenging work in the church. Anybody could minister to the hearing people, but very few would enter and penetrate the world of the deaf people. Ironically, there are many who are interested, but they lack the sole requirement which is LOVE. If there are 34 key areas in CBBC, there are deaf people all over these areas. Yet there are only five hearing fulltime workers involved covering those areas. At the same time, these five hearing workers are also the ones teaching in the school. Each of them handles two grade levels, teaching from 7:30 to 5:00 p.m., basically Monday to Friday….all by the grace of God. Nevertheless, this is a very rewarding ministry. Total immersion into their world will help you grow spiritually, depend on God totally, and live by faith completely (almost). God’s blessings are to those who are ministering to the poor and needy, without expecting in return. The deaf need your two hands, ten fingers, and countless LOVE! Get involved in this ministry and be more blessed.
Youth Campus Ministry The Youth Campus Ministry is a brand new ministry of our church. This ministry was established last 2008 to extend our ministry to young people. Since majority of their waking time is spent in their schools, we have taken opportunity to teach them to serve God in their respective campuses. This ministry works hand in hand with our Classroom Evangelism Ministry. Our church aims not only to evangelize the youth but also to train them for the fulfillment of the great commission. The Youth Campus Ministry is equipped with programs and campaigns that mold our youth for the service of God such as: •Dawn Prayer meetings held on or outside •Campus Soulwinning Clinics •CampusWide Soulwinning inside school school campuses scheduled once a week which are special sessions that campuses before the school flag ceremony teach them how to win souls in •Big Day campus evangelistic meetings •Campus Bible Studies which are regular their classrooms, and to train •Freshmen Survival Tactics Orientation meetings held to help the students grow in them in ministering to their school Program especially for freshman college their relationship with God. friends students. Presently, our Youth Campus Ministry is conducted in these four High Schools and two Colleges: •PCNHS – Pacita Complex National High School in San Pedro, Laguna •PEDHS – Pedro E. Diaz High School in Muntinlupa City •MNHS – Muntinlupa National High School in Muntinlupa City •GVBNHS – General Vito Belarmino National High School in Silang, Cavite •PUP – Polytechnic University of the Philippines San Pedro Campus •DLSU – De La Salle University Dasmariñas We also look forward to the establishment of this ministry in other schools as well. We encourage every youth to get involved and to support our endeavor to reach souls and to train the next generation for Jesus Christ.

“The most obvious lesson in Christ’s teaching is that there is no happiness in having or getting anything, but only in giving.” - Henry Drummond
Ayon sa Biblia, Iisa Lamang ang Daan Patungong Langit!
A
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 mananam-palataya 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.
