Bible Study at Davao del Sur Provincial Jail (Male & Female)

December 15, 2016

Have the proper attitude toward the Bible and how it teaches. Produce the scripture for ALL you do in religion, and don't appeal to the SILENCE of the Bible for authority for anything. The Bible furnishes us completely (2 Tim. 2:16-17). We must not pervert it (Gal. 1:6-9). We must not go beyond that which is written (I Cor. 4:6). We must not add to or subtract from its teaching (Rev. 22:18-19).

God continues to open doors for the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ here at Davao del Sur Provincial Jail (also known as "Provincial Rehabilitation Center") in Matti, Digos City, Davao del Sur. Many more prisoners are interested to obey after hearing the truth being preached every Thursday. Our co-preacher, brother Ben Dulong, did a good job in requesting the Jail Warden to conduct a baptism next week and was approved even by our Provincial Governor.

This time, I (Joshua A. Notarte), preached in Female quarters. Together with me was brother Felipe Tula Jr. who lead the songs. Brother Ben Dulong gave some announcement and invitation to the female if ever there are already decided to submit in water baptism. We only spent little time preaching to the female and so many of them are still observing. But please help us pray they will also be converted into Christ.

At the same time, my father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, also preached at Male quarter. Brother Joey Bilang also lead the songs and brother Joseph Notarte has cooperated. We always use sound system so that the prisoners inside the cell could hear. As a result, more than 500 prisoners heard and many of them are very interested in learning the truth.
