March 2011 Prayer Letter
Sword of the Lord Conference: In February, we were able to attend a Sword of the Lord Conference in the Philippines. This is the first time ever that we have been afforded the opportunity to attend one of these meetings. I counted it a real privilege to preach during one of the sessions. What a blessing this conference was to us personally and to all the people from our church that attended with us. Many of our people had already completed a Soul-winning training that we held at our church, but this conference challenged them once again to see every person that they encounter as a soul with an eternal destiny. The very next weekend at North Cebu Baptist Church was just amazing. That Sunday, two of our teen guys led their very first soul to Christ. Our soul winning teams went out into their respective areas purposing to witness to someone that day. One of our college girls brought a classmate to church and asked if she could be the one to witness to her friend. Over that weekend, in our Youth Activity, soul winning time, and services, 17 people accepted Christ as their Savior! Wednesday night during our club program, 3 more souls were saved.
Recently, in our King’s Kids Clubs, we awarded the children for one month of perfect attendance. We awarded 42 children this faithfulness prize! In the last two months, our average attendance for clubs has grown to around 60 kids each week.
Bible Institute: This week, we finished up our Bible Institute classes. As their final requirement for graduation, each of the students taught four hours of class time on a cult. They did a very good job. We are very excited that the first three students will be graduating in April. We will also be holding our first ordination in April. The two graduating men are already serving the Lord full-time, and we are thrilled about ordaining them as gospel ministers. The ordination council will consist of several Pastors coming from all over the Philippines.
Furlough: Our furlough plans are coming along. We will be in the U.S. from July of 2011 until February of 2012. If you would like for us to come by your church and share with you the work God has done through your missions giving, please contact me as soon as possible. You can email me at tanngeeall@aol.com
Pressing On!
