It was a very long ride under the scorching heat going to Tondo, Manila, where we met up with the small group of mothers who are part of the ministry of two of our very own mothers in Bulacan. Our dear pastor brother Jordan served them with a proper presentation of the gospel, and a study on the attributes of God. Accompanying us today was our brother Jhet, and two of our youth servants. I was working through the night to meet my deadline today in time for submission so I can join the brothers in serving, but I helplessly dozed off around 6AM only to be awakened again by 9AM. God graciously gave me a steady hand all through the long ride. I felt a bit dizzy early on the drive but my head cleared midway. The study began 1PM and ended an hour later, after which we immediately rode back. We arrived home safely by 7PM, just in time for the rains to fall.

John 9:4  I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.   

I was greatly encouraged by my brother's zeal for the LORD that I offered to assist him in his preaching the very next morning after our preaching at Guiguinto the previous night. By the LORD's providence, people stood near and far to listen to the gospel. Government soldiers were there and were visibly drawn to hear as well as enforcers who were presently supervising the people. We were rewarded with a short but sweet fellowship over a quick meal before heading home.  

An angry man claiming to be a pastor did not like the way we were preaching against sin, and berated us to stay with just grace, stating that Christ did not preach that way. I asked him what Christ meant when He told the people to repent. I thought to myself, children should not be permitted to hold pastoral positions. Prayer is the very backbone of anointed preaching. A day at a time but each day for the LORD.

After Pandi, we drove off to another place further up north to Bunsuran, a busy market place that leads to Plaridel. Another hour and a half of presenting the gospel and a personal talk with a vendor and we call it a day for the LORD.  

The LORD led us to an unusual place in our map. One that we would not choose for ourselves. A random stop in our drive to search out a place for the gospel. It always starts out as a place that we expected no crowds but once we start God brings the people to us. The workers minding a construction site permitted us to use the stairs for our platform, and some kind drivers gave us watered bottles. The LORD continues to direct His preaching to specific souls He stirs to listen to the entirety of the message, as far us the wind can carry our voices. This is our first stop this day.

Continuing our ministry to the Muslim community. The youths from our church have started to accompany us. God has opened doors for frequent person to person encounters.  May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward for His suffering.
