Hope Takes to the Streets of Mandaluyong City

That verse in Ecclesiastes 12:1 that says “to remember now thy Creator in the mbia church days of thy youth…” has been making an impact in our young people as they go out to testify and share the Gospel to everyone. We are blessed by these young disciples rising as they take part in fulfilling the Great Commission.

This spirit continues to fire up the men as one of our missionaries in Vietnam, Pastor Remil Cordero, ministered in our discipleship meeting last June 8. He preached School Bible powerfully that God can create things out of nothing and He is up to something when we say that we are nothing. Certainly, we are nothing without God but God can do something for us if we are all out for Him.

A few weeks later, in another discipleship meeting, we were privileged to have the Evangelist from Guam, Sho Kishimoto, shared God’s Word about the addiction to technology and social media. It is very timely as many people are so absorbed by the internet, which feeds our flesh and many times hinders us to answer God’s call.

Consistently and constantly we are in the field for the harvest. Every Tuesday evening, two groups go out to the nearby areas for street preaching, and another group for the shuttle ministry (free ride for those who are stranded and waiting in the streets during evening rush).

While in transit, we share the Word of God to a captive audience and call them to repent and receive Jesus for salvation. More than 10 passengers every ride is being shared with the Gospel.

Also, it is wonderful to witness that most of the workers are our former Sunday school kids participating in God’s works, testifying and preaching in the streets. Truly God is changing lives and equipping us to do His will.

We are also excited to share another great opportunity to serve God in our Campus Ministry at one of the secondary schools in the city, during Thursdays.

Week after week, the number of study in Mandaluyong City high school students attending the Bible study increases. Average attendance each week is 17 to 18. We witness how God touches them, their spirits are stirred, and they are very eager to learn more about Jesus. In addition, another school is waiting for us to start Bible study and we are praying for other schools to respond, but at the same we are seeking God for more workers and disciples to rise up.
