3 Preaching Schedules (A Total Of 9 Souls Baptized)

January 21, 2017

God's Word is never wasted (Isaiah 55:11). It shall always glorify him. You may never see the harvest, but someone else will, and God will be glorified. His Word shall not return to him void. People are dying in sin. They need the gospel. Give it to them. Preach boldly, with love in your heart (Eph. 4:15) and have the spirit of Christ.

We give all the glory to God for the harvest of 9 precious souls as the result of preaching the true Gospel of Christ. From early morning to evening, we were busy for the Lord's work and thankful for the great result.

First, we preached on a BIBLE STUDY at Palusok church of Christ, Palusok, Mua-an, Kidapawan City where brother Alejandro Anoling Sr. preaches together with his son, Carlos Anoling. Many of those who attended were not yet members of the Church of Christ. Brother Julie Divine A. Notarte preached the word of God.



The second preaching schedule we had was the GOSPEL MEETING at Doles church of Christ, Doles, Magpet, Cotabato where brother Ruben Panday preaches. We are thankful to see the brethren who continue in their faith and also with the alien sinners who attended that are seeking for truth.



The speakers who preached the Gospel were brother Rodulfo Neniel, Joseph Notarte, Jonathan Notarte, I (Joshua A. Notarte), and Julie Divine A. Notarte.





During the invitation song, 8 men and women came forward and confessed Christ. We immediately baptized them at the river. Brother Julie Divine A. Notarte baptized them and we give all the glory to God. Their names are: 1. Josie Eulalio, 2. Venancio Gumay, 3. Jen-Jen Gumay, 4. Lycamae Joy Ligue, 5. Johnny Boy Malano, 6. Myla Orhim, 7. Alona Francisco, and 8. Arnold Olido.



Just after we finished the baptism of 8 souls, another person has arrived and was very willing to be baptized. He already heard the Gospel for many times. Having no doubt of his faith, my father baptized him with a total of 9 precious souls who submitted to baptism. His name is Alberto Guabong. To God be the glory!




The third preaching schedule was the Radio Program of the Church of Christ.  I (Joshua A. Notarte) preached this night. Our radio program was heard in our local radio station, Radyo Ukay Digos 92.7 FM at 6:00 - 6:30 PM. Through this radio program, many people heard the Gospel of Christ and after several times of listening, they obeyed the truth. To God be the glory!

Gospel Meeting at Upper Balnate church of Christ, Upper Balnate, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur (2 Souls Baptized) & Radio Preaching at night

January 14, 2017

The apostle Paul identifies Christ’s disciples as those who have been washed, justified, and sanctified (1 Cor. 6:11), regardless of what sins they had committed. In addition, Paul says that God “saved us, not on the basis of deeds we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit” (Tit. 3:5). Paul identifies God’s people as the sanctified bride of Christ, “having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word” (Eph. 5:26). One who fails to abound in godly character “has forgotten that he was purified from his former sins” (2 Pet. 1:9).

We preached the word of God on the ANNUAL GOSPEL MEETING at Upper Balnate church of Christ, Upper Balnate, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur where brother Cristituto Marquez and Cenon Taña preaches. This is an old congregation and steadfastly serving God. Every year, they hosted a Gospel Meeting and are able to harvest more souls into Christ.



The SPEAKERS who preached the word of God were brother Joseph Notarte, Pedro Perez, Jonathan Notarte, I (Joshua A. Notarte), Franklin Isla and Julie Divine A. Notarte.




After preaching the whole truth, 2 precious souls responded to the invitation and submitted to baptism. They are Roland Loon and Ryan Marquez. They attended the worship services for many times and were able to heard the Gospel of Christ through the help of brother Cristituto Marquez. We give all the glory to God for this addition in God's kingdom!



At 6:00-6:30 PM, the Radio Program of the Church of Christ was aired and heard throughout Davao del Sur province and neighboring areas. It can be heard in Radyo Ukay Digos DXRG 92.7 FM and simultaneously heard also in DXDS 1161 AM. I (Joshua A. Notarte), preached this time. This radio program was very helpful in reaching many lost souls. Through this program, many people heard the truth and after several times of listening, they invited us and obey the Gospel and are now members of the Church of Christ. To God be the glory!

Baptism at Dapok church of Christ, Dapok, Tulanan, Cotabato & Wedding at Daig Barangay Site church of Christ

January 9, 2017

Baptism is designed to change our relationship to Christ. Baptism changes our relationship by bringing us into Christ. Before baptism we are aliens, outside of the realm of the blessings for the saved (Eph. 1:3), but after baptism we are in Christ where the blessings can be had. "For you are all sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ"
(Gal. 3:26,27).

Two (2) precious souls had submitted to baptism after the bible study at Dapok church of Christ, Dapok, Daig, Tulunan, Cotabato. Brother Jimmy Labuguen and Rogelio Saan are the preachers in this congregations. They requested my father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, to preach the Gospel of Christ before the baptism. Brother Jonathan Notarte also cooperated and help edify our new brethren in Christ. To God be the glory!




But before the baptism, brother Julie Divine A. Notarte was also requested to solemnize the marriage of a couple at Barangay Site church of Christ, Daig, Tulunan, Cotabato.
