I. KINGDOM CONCERNS   

1. GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH (Bay, Laguna)Pas Noel Espinosa

News and Thanksgiving

  1. The month of November is our anniversary month.  It is our 41st.  We thank the Lord for His sustaining and preserving grace all these years.  We are preparing for a church retreat on Nov 18-19, to be followed by our Thanksgiving Service to be held on Nov 20.  Pray that they may be days that will fill us with gratitude for the goodness of God
  2. To reflect what we have gone through this year 2022, the theme of the anniversary is culled from Paul’s words in 2Cor 6:10, “As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.”  We had periods of deep sorrow, but always in them, the Lord enables us to rejoice in His favors.   May the Lord grant wisdom to the leadership in leading the Church in this thought.
  3. The father of the young man we just baptized last September passed away.  It was sudden.  Pray for the comfort of the Pamintuan family, only Julian whom we baptized is Christian in the family.

Prayer Requests

  1. The Reformed Campus Ministry (RCM) has resumed upon opening of the UPLB school-term.  We have been addressing in the weekly webinar issues that will help the students adjust to the new normal of studying in blended modes of face-to-face and on-line.  Pray that we could reach out to many students through this ministry.
  2. Continue praying for the conversion of those who hear the gospel in the service (online and assembly). May the Word already implanted generate conversion.  Pray for Jireh, the son of Pastor NAE.

Petitions

  1. We are busy preparing for the 32nd Pastors’ Annual Conference in January 7-9 next year. The challenges we are facing is the control of participants to maintain safety protocols, the on-time arrival of books for the conference, and the higher registration fee. The fee is higher due to limited participants and the cost of the local printing of the Tagalog version of the 1689 by Sam Waldron, which will also be given out for the 250 registered participants. Our speakers are Pastors Steven Hofmaier and Noel Espinosa, and John Rawlinson, Manager of the Banner of truth Trust, UK. 
  2. The church shall be making a crucial decision about the work we are doing at Surallah, Cotobato, Mindanao. We value your prayers for the Lord’s wisdom for the direction of this church planting work.  Pastor Ismael Montejo and family, with Genia Escabillas Jesse Torres and Jireh Lleonor will be going there this November to conduct a DVBS for children and modular course of the ‘doctrine of the church’ to some pastors and church workers. May they be given the wisdom of the Lord’s leading for this work.
  3. Please pray also for our missionary brother Raymond Mendoza who is seeking to plant a work in Montalban, Rizal. Right now they are renovating the house they bought to be used for the work. Lord willing, they would start services this December. Please pray for the Lord’s guidance and provisions.
  4. Please pray for the prison ministry of brother Jesse Torres. He was given permission to preach at a prison camp to preach the gospel. May it bear fruit of conversion among the inmates.
  5. We are overseeing Maricaban Reformed Baptist Church, Pasay and they are in need of permanent worker/pastor of the church.
