Meditation Passage: Acts 28:28-31
I. KINGDOM CONCERNS
Redeemed By Grace Baptist Church (Frisco, Quezon City) – Pas. Diego Bulatao
1. We started our face-to-face, physical worship gathering last month, and gradually members are joining
us every Lord’s Day. We thank the Lord for easing up the physical gathering restrictions thus we are back to our normal manner of worshipping our Great God and Savior. We are joyful too because our Morning and Afternoon Services are almost full and walk-ins are also starting to come.
2. Please pray for the expansion of our meeting place because the accommodation is limited due to space.
A comfortable seating arrangement can only be up to 40 persons. But we do thank God for the provisions for the upgrade of our meeting place with a raised ceiling and new tiles of floors and kitchen. At present we are gathering in our modest small chapel with great joy!
3. Pray for our Daily Vacation Bible School this summer if it would be feasible for an onsite DVBS. Pray for
Deacon Emmanuel and Olive Tabucol with God’s wisdom as they spearhead this ministry. Lord willing this will be our first onsite DVBS after two years.
4. Thanksgiving that Brother Jiro Francisco is able to help Pastor Diego in the pulpit ministry. Although
limited because Jiro is currently employed in an IT company. Pray for the Lord’s sustenance upon Jiro’s situation that he will be given wisdom on how to balance his work and ministry. Pray for his ailing father of being on and off from the hospital due to degenerative illness. At times Jiro has to skip his work to attend to his father’s treatment when hospitalized. May his father receive God’s grace unto salvation before his last breath.
5. Pray that the Lord will spare us from Covid-19 infection that may be caused by our physical worship
services.
6. Pray also for the sustained health of Pastor Diego. He is scheduled for medical laboratory tests Lord
willing this last week of May or early June. Pray also for Jiro’s health. Having a weak constitution added to the stress of work and his father’s current situation may trigger any time of physical and mental fatigue. May God’s sustaining grace be upon him during these trying times.
7. ALWAYS remember us (Redeemed by Grace Baptist Church) in your prayers even without our monthly
prayer news update.
