Another day in preaching the Gospel of Christ to many lost souls here in Davao del Sur Provincial Jail or also known as "Provincial Rehabilitation Center" (PRC) located in Matti, Digos City, Davao del Sur. For 1 year, the truth was preached and many prisoners were thankful in hearing it. Many of them already decided to be baptized after hearing the truth for many times but it is not easy for us to get permit from the Jail Administration. Please help us pray that God gives us way to make this plan possible.

(To see some background of sister Pacensia Labandero, please read my blog in Feb. 28, 2016 on her 1st night funeral service.)
Sister Pacensia was a faithful member of the Church of Christ since 1972. After she was converted, she helped together with her husband in preaching the Gospel to many lost souls especially to their family and relatives. They even built a church building on their place in Asinan church of Christ but the Muslim rebels burned it and cause them to evacuate their place. But everywhere they went, they remain faithful in Christ and build a congregation to worship. At the present, they lived in Igpit, Digos City, Davao del Sur and worship with the brethren here in Igpit church of Christ where brother Obleo Potestas preaches. My father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, knows them very much since he was 12 years old when they were preaching together with my grandfather, Ruben Notarte.
During the funeral service, I lead the songs and my father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, preached the word of God. We comfort them in this hard times. The brethren were very thankful and edified on their faith. Other preachers who cooperated were brother Joey Bilang, Renato Bogoy, Ruel Eloy and Obleo Potestas. My mother, Estrella Notarte, and sister Belen Buisan also cooperated.
The brethren in Kalonbarak church of Christ invited us again to preach more about Jesus by having a Gospel meeting. They are willing to learn more about the truth. They are active also in preaching to their neighbors and relatives. Through their help, 2 more souls were added to the Church this day by submitting to water baptism. Brother Simplicio Galacio is their local preacher.
Other preachers who cooperated were brother Joseph Notarte, Jonathan Notarte, and Pedrito Matampole.
(Still, I was not able to go with them in this schedule because my wife was still in the hospital in Digos Doctor's Hospital, Digos City. I am attending for her needs and buying the prescribed medicines. She is now recovering from "Acute Gastritis" which cause of severe pain on her stomach.)
