ETSIM Philippines-Bacolod Newsletter (August)

Dear Friends and Partners,

Greetings in Christ!

Thank you for your prayers and support. We are grateful for God's faithfulness as we continue equipping believers and advancing the Gospel. We hope these ministry updates, testimonies, and prayer requests encourage you.

MINISTRY UPDATES

Outreach Ministry

We thank the Lord that through His great love and mercy, the Bible studies in our outreach areas continue. The Bible studies in Murcia, Granada, and Cataywa continue to reach and encourage people to know and follow the Lord.

Youth Ministry

We thank the Lord for the new young people who have received salvation and are continuing to draw closer to Him. We are blessed to see them growing in their faith and joyfully praising God.

Prayer Meetings

Praise the Lord for the weekly prayer meetings in the outreach ministries and the main church. We are thankful for the many answers to our prayers and for God's faithfulness in responding to our needs.

Discipleship

Praise the Lord that the people who have recently received the Lord continue to grow in their faith as they listen to and learn from His Word. We pray that they will continue to grow spiritually and become faithful followers of Christ.

TESTIMONY

God has done many wonderful things in our lives, and one of them is the healing He brought to my wife from a serious illness. While we were waiting for enough finances to have her checked by a doctor, she was vomiting blood every day for an entire week.

We thank the Lord that through our prayers, God intervened. Even the doctor was amazed by what God had done in my wife's life. After she was examined, the doctors found no illness or medical condition, and they could not determine where the large amount of blood she had vomited every day had come from.

We praise the Lord for the negative results of her laboratory tests and, most of all, for healing my wife. All glory belongs to God!

PRAYER REQUESTS

• Please continue to pray for the provision of a lot where the church building can be established.

• Please continue to pray for more faithful and dedicated workers in the church ministry.

• Please continue to pray for greater fruitfulness in soul-winning and evangelism.

• Please continue to pray for protection, strength, and endurance as we travel to distant places for ministry work.

• Please continue to pray for a vehicle that can be used for the ministry, especially in reaching far areas and outreaches.              

CLOSING NOTES

We give all glory to God for His continued faithfulness in our ministry this month. We remain grateful for every life touched, every heart renewed, and every opportunity to serve. May we continue to walk in obedience, passion, and unity as we advance God’s kingdom.

In Christ,

ETSIM Bacolod Family
