We give the glory to God as the Gospel meeting at BLAZAN CHURCH OF CHRIST, Blazan, Malawanit, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur was successful and fruitful. We can always remember how the congregation started here since 1972. My grandfather, Ruben Notarte, and my father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, first preached at Malawanit church of Christ, Malawanit, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur and baptized 60 souls in one day. After a year, Blazan church of Christ was established because those who were baptized were very eager in preaching the truth. They continue to serve God and many of them died faithfully to Christ.
The church building at Blazan church of Christ was one of the church buildings that were burned by Muslim rebels way back 1973. Many brethren had evacuated but their faith to God help them to establish a new congregation wherever they went. One of them that still remain is Malinan church of Christ, Malinan, Kidapawan City. Most of those brethren came from this place.
At the present, brother William Batawan, Roque Tari, Rogelio Tari, etc. are the preachers in this congregation. They have elders and deacons who are active for the Lord's work. Please pray for our "fellow helpers for truth" here as they do their best in preaching and edifying the brethren.
We are thankful for this time because our car was able to reach the place safely. Although we were very worried because we don't have extra tire.
Every year, we are always invited to be their SPEAKERS to preach the word of God. This time the speakers were brother: 1. Little Tari, 2. Joseph Notarte, 3. Cenon Taña , 4. I (Joshua A. Notarte), 5. Franklin Isla, and 6. Julie Divine A. Notarte
After preaching the Gospel of Christ, 2 souls came forward during the invitation song and were baptized by brother Julie Divine A. Notarte at the river. Their names are: 1. Jesstony Sasil and 2. Charise Dayal. They heard the truth for many times through the help of the preachers here but we give all the glory to God! Please pray for our new brethren in Christ.
