B. GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH – Laguna | Pas. Noel Espinosa

News and Thanksgiving

  1. We had a Thanksgiving Service on April 3.  It was our first full Lord’s Day assemblies.  We had been holding afternoon assembly but waited until Alert Level 1 in Laguna was made regular before holding our morning assembly.  It was a joyful occasion.  Pray that this may continue until full normalcy.
  2. We give thanks to God for sustaining the Church through the period that the Lord’s Day assembly was not normal.  We experienced God’s blessing in our evangelism, fellowship, and finances.
  3. Michaia Gregorio (daughter of our Deacon Glenn) is scheduled to exchange marital vows with Eman Tamargo of CRBC on April 9.  Pray for the preparation, and the readiness of the couple to be husband and wife.

Prayer Requests

  1. The Church is now in the consideration stage of nominating additional deacons to our present set of three.  Pray for wisdom that the members may be directed to a united decision to nominate qualified brothers.
  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 Joel Malinao, the only unsaved member of a family that belongs to the Church. 
  3. Our Prison Ministry is sustaining its virtual Bible Study every other week.  Several members, encouraged by the blessing on the ministry, have joined in its virtual BS every other Saturday.  Pray for conversion.
  4. Our campus ministry, Reformed Campus Ministry (RCM), is doing a webinar every Tuesday of the week.  We are reaching mostly students, but also get young professionals and families to join.  Pray for conversion.
  5. Pray that the Lord will sustain the health of Pastor NAE as he continues to work in the office every day.  GMA is in progress.  He also has now to travel with his family to Los Baños every weekend.  Pray for strength for the added work and more wisdom. 
  6. Pray for our missionary, Mark Acsay, and his family in Thailand.  We thank the Lord for sustaining his health and that of his family after they contracted COVID.  Pray for a fruitful ministry in Ratchaburi where he leads a small congregation.
  7. As our Lord’s Day assemblies normalize, pray that the ministries that had been in suspension may now return to normal.  We began with our Children’s Sunday School.  Other ministries are to follow suit.
  8. We are working on the new issue of our GBC Pulpit publication.  Pray that we may release it in due time with a fruitful blessing on those we reach.
