Lord's Day in Cebu

Our Lord’s Day started in Cebu City with services at the Cebu City congregation. Jonathan Carino has labored with the church since it began in 1993. Since I have been coming to visit with them since 2002, I have come to know and love many of them. I preached for the morning worship on “She Has Done What She Could” from Mark 14. We had to leave immediately after the worship and before the classes in order to make our flight back to Manila so we can travel to Masbate tomorrow, the Lord willing.

Our travel plans to Masbate have been abruptly changed. The flight from Manila to Masbate was canceled causing Jonathan to make a rushed change of plans at the last minute so that we could arrive on Monday morning when our pre-paid time at the venue begins. As it presently stands, we will first fly to Legazpi early tomorrow and try to catch the first fast-craft from there to Masbate. If it works, we should be there just a little after the lectures are scheduled to begin at 9am.

We also received word from Roy Matta that one of the men present for the lectures at his place on Friday returned this morning and asked to be baptized into Christ. We are thankful to God for the power of His word to convict and persuade honest hearts! God bless!
