“ ” Revive us through
a Humble Prayer Life
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
Church In Action
From the Pastor’s Desk
W
E thank God for His great mission of seeking and saving the lost. Because of that, we, the redeemed sinners, have become His children and are now Heaven-bound. As His saved ones, we are tasked to win souls. We praise God that our Church has received the mandate of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to fulfill the Great Commission. We are aware that this sin-sick world is in need of caring churches that always have revival in their soulwinning efforts. Yes, this world needs us, members of a revived soul-winning Bible-believing Baptist Church, to win the lost to and for the Lord through the Holy Spirit’s power. Today, as we get revived through our Church covenant, let us ask the Lord to rekindle the fire in our hearts in seeking the salvation of the lost. We must continually support our church soulwinning program through our areas, while we constantly strengthen our prayer lives and our walk with God, by His grace and for His glory.

August 6, 7 & 8
Sunday School Outlined The Church Engages to Seek the Salvation of the Lost (Part 1)
Matthew 28:18-20 / Mark 1:17
I. Soulwinning is important because of the truth about Calvary. A. Our Saviour bled and died. B. The salvation of the soul of man is already finished. C. Our Saviour is inviting and waiting. II. Soulwinning is important because of the torment of Hell. A. Hell is real, and Jesus Christ preached more about it than He did about heaven. B. People who do not have Christ are on their way to everlasting hell. PAGE 02 | AUGUST 15 | ACTS 29
C. We must preach Christ to the lost today or else, it will be too late. III. Soulwinning is important because of the teaching of the Great Commission. A. The first command is to go. B. The second part which is baptism depends on the going. C. The third part which is discipleship depends also on the going. IV. Soulwinning is important because of the tenderness of the harvest. A. The harvest is just waiting for the reapers. B. There is a call for the reapers of the harvest. C. Since the harvest will soon be over, let us all be a part of this great harvest time of souls.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Continue giving as we are now only one floor away from finishing our building project. “Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;” Isaiah 54:2

“GOD TAKES CHARGE OF MY PRAYER LIFE” Beata B. Agustin
God takes charge of my prayer life constantly! He invites my soul to commune with Him sweetly And draws my spirit to fellowship with Him delightfully. How I thank Him for bringing me near His heart intimately!!! God sees my prayer-motive and its innermost! He meets my needs first and foremost And grants my wants that fit His plan to the most. How I praise Him for leading me to His will’s utmost!!! God hears my prayer-supplication I utter in silence! He discerns my groanings by His power’s presence And intercedes for my yearnings with His persistence. How I glorify Him for helping me reach His throne’s iridescence!!! God touches my faith warmly in my prayer time! He strengthens my commitment all the time And upholds my vow by His truth against cooling time. How I salute Him for assuring me His answers in due time. God checks my prayer-disharmony against His sovereignty! He fixes my mind toward His promises’ certainty And builds my conviction thru His Word’s immutability How I esteem Him for guarding me by His love and security!!! God responds to my sincere and unwavering prayer-quest! He fills my emptiness with His provisions’ best And leads my contentment-search to His divine treasure’s chest. How I commend Him for opening to me doors I knock on to their widest. God enables my spirit to pray without ceasing! He moves me to trust Him for what He’s expressing And exhorts me to enjoy His gifts of divine choosing. How I appreciate Him for welcoming me to His kingdom’s blessing.

area 2
Bro. Leomer Handig Ang Area 2 o ang Division B2 ay nasa bayan ng Muntinlupa. Ito ay binubuo ng Country Homes Subdivision, Lakeview Homes, South Green Heights Village, Agro Homes, Soldiers Hills Village, Summitville, Pleasant Village, at ilang bahagi ng Baranggay Bayanan. Ang malaking bahagi ng Area ay Subdivision subalit hindi ito hadlang para sa pag-aakay ng kaluluwa. Sa dakilang biyaya ng Panginoon, kami sa Area 2 ay may average na 60-70 attendance tuwing Linggo, kasama na ang aming mga bisita. Hindi rin kami nawawalan ng baptism sa loob ng isang buwan. Dahil ang Area 2 ay di naman gaanong malayo, may mga miyembrong pamilya na dumadalo na nang kusa. Ang Area 2 ay nahati sa apat na grupo upang matutukan ang bawat bahagi nito. Sa bawat bahagi ay may mga manggagawang nakatalaga. Ang mga manggagawa ay may mga kasama ring mga miyembro sa Area sa pag-aakay ng kaluluwa at pagba-Bible study. May mga kanya-kanyang Bible study ang bawat grupo upang ang lahat ay makapakinig ng Salita ng Diyos para sa kanilang paglago sa pananampalataya. Mayroon ding ginagamit na prayer list ang Area upang maipanalangin ang pangangailangan ng kapatiran. Salamat sa Diyos na sa gawain ng simbahan, ang mga kapatid ay nakikitaan ng pagsuporta lalo na sa pagbibigay. May mga ilang kabataan ngayon na kasalukuyang sinasanay sa confrontational soulwinning. Sa biyaya ng Panginoon, sila ay unti-unting natututo. Isa sa mga hangarin at panalangin ng Area 2 ay ang pagkakaroon pa ng mas maraming tapat na pamilyang miyembro sa ating simbahan upang mas lalong lumago ang gawain ng ating Panginoon. Nangangailangan din sa Area ng mga ama ng tahanan na sasama sa paglingkod sa Panginoon.

“He who prays without confidence cannot hope that his prayers will be granted.” - Franois Fenelon
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.
