UNDER HIS WINGS
By: Mylene Causing
“He will cover you
with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness
is a shield and buckler.” Psalm 91:4
One Sabbath, we were holding our
worship with our Bible students in an open market in Barangay Impugong. “Shout
to the Lord, all the earth let us sing…”
This is what we were singing when suddenly a motorcycle came and the
person riding it was pointing his fingers at us. I found out that his name is Manong Jose. We
just thought that one of our students was his child and he only wants him to go
home. However, we noticed that he was angry. “You better stop your worship. You
are just bringing trouble in this place. Stop it!”
Sam went near him and talked to
him. Manong Jose kept on pointing his finger to Sam. We were already distracted so we stopped the
singing. Our Bible students encouraged us to go on. “Don’t mind him Ma’am. He
is just drunk so he has the guts to start trouble.” Manong Jose’s voice became harsh and loud.
This made us scared. Fortunately, one of the barangay officials and the school
head teacher who are our friends heard the commotion. They came and solved the
problem. We thanked the Lord in prayer for His providence.
Our
Psalmist said in his book, chapter 91: 4-7, “He will cover you with His
feathers and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield
and buckler…” I claimed this Bible verse everytime I encounter some troubles. I
need to remind myself that our great Master could protect us against the enemy.
Before we were sent in our mission field, they asked us these questions: Are
you willing to give your life? Are you willing to suffer? Are you willing to be
mocked? It is easy to say “yes” but during the trial moment, it’s difficult to
remain unafraid. But God has a lot of wonderful promises for us to be secured
and joyful in our service.
To
my fellow workers in Christ, we have nothing to fear because God is with us. To
our dear faith-partners, thank you for bringing us here through your financial
support and prayers. You’ve been part of our mission life.
CARRY THE LIGHT
By: Juliet Rualo
In this world of darkness, we are given Light (the truth) and we have the duty to share this light to others (Matthew 5:16).
One morning, we’re scheduled to visit at Legleg, one of the barangay here in Tinoc. We visited Manang Lydia, one hour hike from our home. We found her in her garden. She is a very industrious woman, a mother of 8 children. Her youngest child is a special child.
Before we went home, we offered her a prayer and we’ve seen the joy in her face. She gave us vegetables from her garden.
There are a lot of people like Manang Lydia who needs help, hope, and a need for a Saviour. Satan is keeping the people busy so they will forget to call on Jesus. God has His way to remind these people that they need God in their life.
Dear friends, through you supports, we could still reach out more souls who needs to know Jesus’s love.
