Our 2nd Public Preaching in Maibo, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur

June 30, 2016

Acts 4:29 (ISV) - 

"Lord, pay attention to their threats now, and 
allow your servants to speak your word boldly.'

We are once again thankful to the brethren in Maibo church of Christ, Maibo, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur in conducting this Public Preaching in their community headed by their Barangay Captain which is our co-preacher, brother Chito Pari, and also to brother Jerome Pari and Larry Madialan who greatly contributed their effort in this work. 

Our venue is the Evacuation Center of Barangay Maibo. This was built for the safety of the people because for many times, countless wars occur in this place between Government forces and Communist Rebels plus Muslim rebels. On 1970's when the Gospel of Christ was first preached here and converted hundreds of souls, many of their houses were burned including the church buildings of the Church of Christ. There are times that they could not finished their worship services because the rebels suddenly attacked. But even these trials, they remain faithful to God until death. Majority of the people who attended are already members of the Church of Christ here and in neighboring places.

I (Joshua A. Notarte) was one of the SPEAKERS who preached the word of God in the morning together with brother Joseph Notarte, Jonathan Notarte and Julie Divine A. Notarte. The afternoon speakers were brother Franklin Isla, Franklin Isla II, Ronald Jay Dela Rosa and Alvin Atil.

Many preachers of the Church of Christ also had attended and cooperated. Many of the brethren also had walked 2 hours from the mountain just to attend and hear the word of God that edify our faith. We are thankful to every one who do their best in making this work possible. May God reward us greatly.
