The Seventh Day Adventist church invited me to speak on one of their Sabbath Worship.
Welcome and opening remarks by Brother Ruben Maruquin,
the head deacon of the Seventh Day Adventist church in Monrovia.
He made the introduction for the Pastor of the Holy Place church to speak.
Sister Nikka, Sister Chona, and Sister Charisse have given
their best to sing praises and worship to glorify our Lord.
This was taken inside the church of the Nazarene in
Monrovia rented by the Adventist church.
I was giving them the message of encouragement to
the congregation to let them become aware that our
God is alive, a living God that interacts with humanity
in His own way.
It was a beautiful, simple message, and direct that
makes us to see and be aware that we might be drifting
away from our true walk in Christ because of the
contamination of the worldly gains and pleasures of this
world that entices us to depart from the pure words of
God into a compromise living.
The Bulfa children was already singing since year 2001
to sing for the Lord. They just love to sing and was truly
encourage by thier aunti's and uncles who are still worship
leaders in different churches in California.
The children were asked again to sing during the youth
fellowship that was being held after lunch. Their young
people are very active in encouraging the youth and the
teens in their church.
This was in the midst of the child dedication, to offer
the new born child unto the Lord. The Padilla family
allowed their child to be offered to God for God's
protection and covering. Their Pastor was the one
who dedicated the child.
I was conversing with Pastor Pliny Fondevilla, a very
good pastor of an Adventist church. He was from the
Province of Romblon in the central part of the Philippines.
He had studied in Divinity school in Bukidnon.
As a servant of God, I had to listen very carefully in every
conversation for this helps a lot when I will be consulted
for advise and counsel.
These are the worship team of the Adventist church.
They are represented by one family, the family of Datan
who also presented worship and praise.
Again the Datan family presents a song, "HE KNOWS MY
NAME, GOD KNOW'S MY EVERY THOUGHTS,"
These family are originally from Cebu City that is in Central
Visayan region where people loves to sing and it is their
favorite past time.
The young people of the Adventist church enjoying the activities
of the church, waiting for the next program to be presented.
This was taken in their fellowship hall where they served
food after the church service. Sister Vicky was also mixing
to take upportunity to meet every member of the church.
This is the fellowship hall where much food were served
and it was already fellowshiptime after lunch was served.
This was taken inside the sanctuary preparing for the youth
fellowship which will start at any moment. We were able to
witness how they conduct their youth fellowship and it was
very encouraging.
The children were requested to add aditional songs of worship after
lunch, resumption of the church activities into the afternoon hours.
They enjoy mixing with the church people for they have warm
heart and Christian attitude of comraderee.
One of the elders of their church, focusing his attention to the message.
Sister was already feeling tired of the morning-afternoon activites.
I know that she is ready to go home.
Sister Chona is still on the go and when they were ask to sing
she responded right away.
