November Newsletter

1. November 2011 Cebu 2 You
Greetings from the island of Cebu. We are expecting a busy
November as we begin to prepare for the excitement of the holiday
season.
STREET KIDS MINISTRY
We have taken a step of faith and
reached out to some hardcore kids who
live under a bridge and sniff glue all
day. To our amazement, we now have
18-20 kids singing action songs,
memorizing Bible verses and hearing
God’s Word every week.
We have offered them a chance to
bathe and are giving them free haircuts.
We are looking for used clothing from
our members so that when they bathe
they don’t have to put on dirty clothes.
THE Flooring
We have finally finished the painting of the new
deck in our church. It is “Jade Green” and is
beautiful and seems to resist dirt buildup which is
the problem we had with the first paint that we
used.

2. Pastors and Workers
Conference 2011
We recently completed our 5th
Annual Pastors and Workers
Conference. Our theme was “The
Joy of Serving” based on
Philippians 4:4.
We had 88 paid delegates and
about 7 additional evening
visitors after working hours.
Our workshops covered Biblical
Counseling and Disciplines of
Godly People focusing on the
Disciplines of Devotion and
Leadership.
I had the honor of sharing the
opening session on Philippines
1:1-11 which I titled “The Joy
of the Journey” and I taught
the Disciplines workshop as
well as being the MC for the 5th
year.
Christmas Programs
Our church wide theme this year is “Rejoicing in His grace and Mercy” based on 2
Corinthians 12:9.
Each ministry will have its own small celebration and the entire church will come
together for a major celebration at Barangay Hall on December 18th.
In addition, we will have a special celebration for the street children and their friends.
We will also do caroling as a way of evangelism for 2 nights.
Moving to 2 Services
As announced in our last newsletter, on November 6, we will begin 2 services on Sunday. At
8am Pastor Gerry will teach the book of Matthew and at 10am I will begin the Book of Jeremiah.
Pray for our transition as we will have 2 sets of ushers, 2 sets of Sunday school teachers, and
other adjustments.
