Men Mark Tumandan wrote a report about preaching the gospel in Langaran, Kablacan, Sarangani Province in the Philippines from June 12-13, 2015. He and several other preachers held a Bible study and preached sermons on God's plan for salvation and the purpose of life to residents and a pastor from the Calvary church. The next morning they gave lectures on the Bible and the right way to heaven at the local primary school, but many people left after a few lectures to go home for lunch as it was getting late. Tumandan hopes the seeds planted may lead some souls to accept Christ, and that he can return to study the Bible more with the Calvary pastor.

16th day of the month of June, year of our Lord 2015
Dear Brethren and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
"I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper
and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 2)
Grace, Mercy, and Peace be with you
From God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
I am thankful to God for having brethren and sisters in the Lord who have
great faith in Him in serving the Kingdom always in which it gives us strength
here in the Philippines.
I am happy to inform you that we had a blessed Lord's day last June 14,
2015 in Mountain Top Libas church of Christ Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani
Province where I have been preaching for more than 5 years. I preached a
lesson about "Ingredients of Guaranteed Failure" a sermon outline by Joe Price.
It is an excellent sermon.
Last Friday June 12, 2015, I along with many preachers went to Langaran,
Kablacan part of Maasim, Sarangani Province to preach the pure gospel of
Christ. We had a Bible Study in the house of certain man named Jamir
Alegado, his family with his neighbors in the evening. Brother Rommel Dazon
first preached a sermon about “God’s Plan in Man’s Salvation” then I followed
“The Purpose of Our Lives”. That evening of June 12, we’re blessed of having
many Bible Questions that we answered through the word of God itself, the
Bible. A Pastor from Calvary church kept on asking questions such as “What
then is the right worship?” as now prick in his heart when he heard that we
quoted Matt. 15:7-9 concerning vain worship, the story of Cain being rejected in
offering to God in Gen. 4:1-7 because it was not offered by faith (Heb. 11:4) and
faith can only be obtained through hearing the word of God (Rom.
10:17). Preaching the 1st Century Gospel to 21st Century In the Island of

Preachers who were present that night were Rommel Dazon, Edward
Diamana, Gorio Pelon, Julius Sukin, Rudy Falate and I, Men Mark
Tumandan and morning of June 13, 2015, Bro. Tong Alejo and Bro. Rennie
Moyak joined with us.
Then the following morning, we lectured there in one of the classrooms in
Kablacan Primary School.
The people listen attentively first and I was the one who first lectured"General
Information About the Bible", discussing that there are Patriarchal Age,
Mosaical Age and now Gospel Age, then followed by Bro. Rudy Falate’s lesson
“The Right Way To Heaven”. The lecture of Brother Rudy Falate was always
uninterrupted by questions from “pastors” of Calvary church as also they did to
me when I first lectured. Still, we thank God that although the people were
prick in their hearts, they did not stone us like what Stephen experienced but
we are
always ready in what will happen to us as servant of Christ Jesus who is ready
to suffer.
Brother Edward Diamana then lectured a lesson “RESPONSIBILITY” and it
was already around 10:30 AM thus the lunch break was near. After him was
Bro. Mario Sastrellas who lectured but it was very sad that there were only at
least 5 folks from Calvary church who listens. People who first very eager in
listening the lectures now went to their own home as it was already noon.
Bro. Mario Sastrellas, certain Brother in the Lord also a gospel preacher
named BOYET, and Bro. Boy Besinga able to attend the meeting. They reached
the area around 10:00 AM in the morning of June 13, 2015.
I do believe that due of lack of financial, there also point. We suffered the
people in listening to us in their hunger and so when it was already afternoon,
everyone went to his own home but if we have financially, it could help us to
prepare even a little food for the lunch in the lecture and people won’t go to his
own home but can concentrate listening to the word of God. It is not that we
lead the people to Christ through offering them food but it is necessary when
there is Bible Lectures especially in the mountain area in which to avoid
distraction, people can concentrate listening to the lectures and no longer went
to their own homes to cook their food and to wait at least 1 hour.
It is an opening work in the area, there is no local church of our Lord there and
we are hoping that may the seeds sown there be cultivated. May there be souls
who are eager to accept the way of Salvation in Christ Jesus.

3. I had able to talk to one of the “pastor” in Calvary church and he is always
ready to have a Bible Study in his home. I am praying may the Lord God is
willing; He will send me again there in such a way to pursued him to obey the
gospel.
Thank you and God bless.
In Christian LOVE,
