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!
