“ ” Revive us through our Hard Work
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." Ecclesiastes 9:10
From the Pastor’s Desk
V
ICTORY is always a result of God’s hand coupled with our hard work. We cherish many spiritual blessings today because somebody decided to give his best effort yesterday. Thus, if we want to enjoy more victories in the future, same principle will still follow. God must see that we put in our labour so He will bless us. As I emphasize more on hard work this month, I pray that every member would realize its importance. We and our family members will enjoy more revival from God if we will strive hard. Yes, there will be struggles, but our intense effort to win over them will bring about victory from God. This is one great reason why I challenge you to be faithful in our church and its activities. Our Missions Conference is getting nearer, and I am getting more excited to see the revival that God will send. I encourage you to get involved and to attend every service. It will surely be a blessing to hear pastors and missionaries being used of God. Meanwhile, please pray as I minister to our outreach in Taiwan for few days. Together with Pastor Rudy Calayan and my wife, I would also like to challenge them to be co-labourers in supporting missions. God would surely be pleased if He knows that we are doing our responsibility to get the Gospel to the lost. Finally, I pray that God would use His word to minister to your spiritual needs today! May we continually desire to learn and grow more. Have a great Sunday!

Church In Action
In these last 9 days of preparation, let us be more fervent in our prayers through our 24-hour round d’ clock prayer. Let us set aside the said dates and attend the evening services and the morning sessions. Let us support this event and be a blessing to the pastors and missionaries who are coming.
The Church Engages to Watch Over One Another by Remembering Each Other in Prayer 2 Thessalonians 1:11 / James 5:13-20 I. Watching over one another by remembering each other in prayer will straighten up those who are crooked. A. Prayer for the brethren is seriously needed since we all are still in our sinful Adamic nature. B. Prayer for the brethren is significantly necessary since we all struggle in this sin-sick and corrupt environment. C. Prayer for the brethren is strictly the number one in the list of importance since we all must subdue Satan the accuser. II. Watching over one another by remembering each other in prayer will smooth down those who are curved. A. Believers in Christ have the same problems they encounter.

Relationships that remain to construct are supported by prayers. IV. Watching over one another by remembering each other in prayer will solidify those who are crumbling. A.

“PAMANA NG DIYOS SA AKIN NA KANYANG PINAGHIRAPAN ” Beata B. Agustin
Maluwalhating buhay na walang hanggan… Puno ng di nauubusang biyaya, pagpapala’t kahabagan… Pamana ng Diyos sa akin nang ako’y tinubos Niya mula sa hatol ng kasalanan… Dakilang higit pa sa pinakamabungang pakikipagsapalaran sa sanlibutan!!! Makalangit na tahanan… Puno ng di mapantayang kayamana’t karangyaan… Pamana ng Diyos sa akin nang ako’y iniligtas Niya mula sa apoy ng kapahamakan … Dakilang higit pa sa pinakamagarang tirahan sa sangkalupaan!!! Maningning na pangalan… Puno ng di kawasang kabanala’t kapangyarihan… Pamana ng Diyos sa akin nang ako’y binili Niya mula sa kasiraan ng kadiliman… Dakilang higit pa sa pinakamataas na angkan sa sangkatauhan!!! Mapagpalayang kapayapaan… Puno ng di natitinag na kaayusa’t katiwasayan… Pamana ng Diyos sa akin nang ako’y inari Niya mula sa kaguluhan ng kasamaan… Dakilang higit pa sa pinakamaalwang kalagayan sa kapuluan!!! Maaliwalas na kinabukasan… Puno ng di nabibigong pag-asa’t kasaganaan… Pamana ng Diyos sa akin nang ako’y tinawag Niya mula sa pighati ng kahirapan… Dakilang higit pa sa pinakatampok na pangyayari sa kamunduhan!!! Makabuluhang katungkulan… Puno ng di matatawarang gantimpala’t karangalan… Pamana ng Diyos sa akin nang ako’y hirangin Niya mula sa kinang ng kalayawan… Dakilang higit pa sa pinakatanyag na gawain sa kasaysayan!!! Maligayang katagumpayan… Puno ng di masayod na tuwa’t kagalakan… Pamana ng Diyos sa akin nang ako’y hanguin Niya mula sa lunggati ng kabiguan… Dakilang higit pa sa pinakamatamis na pagbubunyi sa kasalukuyan!!!

Area 20/Division A6 Bro. Rey Dalde
Area 20 started in 2002 when our Pastor, Dr.Ed M. Laurena, decided to divide Area 5 into two areas. Currently, Area 20 is under San Pedro Group (Division A-6). It began with only a handful of members; but now, by the grace of God, Area 20 averages about 60 – 70 members regularly attending on a Sunday morning service and about 30 members on a Sunday evening service. On a weekly basis, God blesses A-20 with an average of four first time visitors and one baptism with twelve to fifteen soulwinners and sixty souls won. Area-20 is located west side of the Laguna and Muntinlupa boundary. It stretches from Puregold Shopping Center in San Pedro Town Center, to Tibagan houses along Magsaysay Road, then to Southridge and up to South Peak Subdivision. It also includes Reaville Subdivision, La Marea Subdivision, Villa Ricardo Subdivision and Camella Woodhills Subdivision. We then enjoin you, brethren, to refer to us your friends or relatives living in this Area so we can visit them. Our Area motto is “Have a 20/20 vision for the lost” and our goal is to have 100 regular Sunday morning attendance before our tenth year as an area. To God be the glory!
Family Testimony First of all, I praise and thank God for giving me and my wife the privilege to serve Him as full-time workers. God has entrusted us with multiple ministries through our Pastor where we can joyfully serve the Lord. Likewise, I delight in God for being so gracious that He has blessed us with two children, Charmaine and Anjen. Right now, our eldest, Charmaine is studying in our Bible College, while Anjen is studying in our Christian Academy. As a family, we are so privileged to be a part of this blessed church where we are taught biblical principles so we can live for God by His grace. Lastly, I want to thank our Pastor and his family for giving us the right example in serving the Lord faithfully. We are looking forward to the realization of the vision of our Pastor that someday we will have our own Baptist City. To God be the glory! ACTS 29 | NOVEMBER 21 | PAGE 05

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.
