from your Pastor OUR DEDICATION in fulfilling the Great Commission surely pleases God. It is because He is delighted whenever we do His will. Hence, we must never stop what we have started --- to win souls, lead converts to biblical baptism, and help new believers grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through faithful discipleship. Those are what we can accomplish if we ourselves are devotedly involved in the work of the Lord. God be praised and thanked for unceasingly upholding our church to stick to His Word and to stay in His ways as He secures us through His watchfulness. We are really privileged to belong to a church that is seriously committed to the Great Commission’s fulfillment, which exalts the Saviour, evangelize the sinners, and edify the saints. I am inspired as your Pastor to have your cooperation in this heavenly goal while we altogether participate in our church programs and activities like our worship services, area soulwinning, Bible DR. ED M. LAURENA studies and visitations, Sunday school and doctrine classes, prayer meetings, discipleship sessions, men-mentoring-men lectures, and various fellowships. Even our mission support, Nehemiah project, and ministry endeavors are all geared toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Moreover, it brings joy and revival to see results of our Great Commission’s involvement, not only here in our place, but also abroad. Our outreach in Kaohsiung, Taiwan which celebrated its 20th Anniversary last Sunday yielded many souls saved, with a total of 235 people in attendance, 174 first time visitors, and two baptisms. Truly, God blesses our obedience to His command, “… Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Let us all be one in making such a reality through God’s power. This day, with thanksgiving, let us glorify the Lord in our Spirit-filled worship.
