The next few days will be more challenging as we look at end time prophecies. Our team of seven have also been a blessing in many ways all with different skills and personalities to contribute to the progress and outcome of this mission.
We have been here just over one week and half way through this evangelistic series. As the Lord leads, we all feel very humbled that He has asked us to be part of His team.
Our speaker for this series is Elder Ross Patterson from New Zealand. He has travelled much of the world and has a great Bible knowledge of Old Testament events and end time prophecy. He has started this series with Bible topics such as: The Garden Tomb, The red sea crossing, Sodom and Gomorrah, Noah’s Ark and Prophecy in the Old Testament foretold Jesus first coming. We are now slowly moving into prophecies from the books of Daniel and Revelation. These messages are shared with much prayer and care so not to offend anyone as 80% of the people attending are Roman Catholic.
The numbers that have been attending have been around 550 to 600 each night. The church is full and over flowing with half the people attending sitting outside on chairs or in and on vehicles. There are two screens inside the church and another two outside with speakers. The car park is over flowing with cars, Jeepney, tricycles and motor bikes. There are some trucks that are overflowing with people on the back. The temperature is hot but people are willing to put up with this as they are hungry to hear the word of God.
The Pastors and leaders have told us this is the biggest series ever run in Dumugetue with this amount of people attending. They have said, Ross presents a very unique style of message as he has been to many places in the Bible which is attracting many people. With his large amount of power point slides which have both English and the local language that people can read easily. Ross also has Pastor Joel Banday who interprets as Ross shares history and Bible scriptures.
Last Sabbath the 25th April we went to a large basket ball stadium next to the sea. Ross Patterson took the main message for Sabbath then after lunch there was a mass baptism. There were 496 baptised. Praise be to God for these souls. They said this has been the biggest group of people baptised and the largest amount of people coming to any evangelistic series. The church leaders are expecting more people to be baptised in the following weeks.
We have been asked to return next year so we are asking the Lord to allow us to be part of His work next year.
Thank you all for your support and may the Lord richly bless us all as we serve Him,
