The construction of TBC’s new building ended on July 3. As a token of thanksgiving to the workers and Manong Fred, the foreman, some TBC women prepared a simple merienda for them. They brought pansit, Bonete bread, Sponge and French cake and pineapple and iced tea. The merienda table was set in the new building. Before eating, Brother Raymar prayed and thanked the laborers in behalf of TBC.

Each of the 14 workers were also given a mug as a token gift, and TBC tract, Walong Tanong, Walong Sagot. Manong Fred, as the foreman had a special gift. The workers were happy…

Inay Rosing Lasco has inherited her  ancestral home  in Red V,  Baranggay Bungkol, Magdalena, Laguna. When it was given to her, the house was in sorry state. But  she loves the house so much that she spent time and money – not to mention muscle pains and fatique –  to have it repaired and painted. She and her husband, Tatay Delio, who is also a church member, travel there once a week to oversee the work.  Now that all repairs are done, the couple’s desire is for the house  to be a Bible Study Center. And their wish was granted. Brother Raymar started a Bible Study there last Saturday (June 21). Though mostly  children are attending,  the place is very promising…

Last Saturday (June 21), Pastor Allan and Pastor Ferdie led the singles in a gospel tract distribution in Brgy Bungkol and Brg.  Borlongan in Red V. Magdalena.  The brethren who participated in the tract distribution  entered the two barangay in a motorcade which ended in the ancestral home of Inay Rosing Lasco.  There were ten motorcycles and a car (TBC’s car)  in the motorcade. Many were given tracts and were invited to attend the bible study being held in the ancestral house of Inay Rosing Lasco every Saturday at 3:00 in the afternoon. Brother Raymar Morada leads this bible study.

Last April 13, Trinity Bible Church gave honor to the elderly members of the church and visitors through a mini-program that was held immediately after the morning worship. The children presented a poem and a song number. Pastor Allan gave a brief message  that challenged them that age does not matter in serving the Lord. To remind them that Christian life is like a plant that has to be nurtured, they were given a nice plant in a decorative pot. Present during the program were, Nanay Lucy, Nanay Ludy, Nanay Lumen, Nanay Delma ,  Tatay Fred ( foreman in church building construction) and a couple who attend the bible study of Pastor Ferdie in…

Pastor Rodel baptized  Andro and Shiela  last April 6  in the baptistry of the Community of Faith Church (CFC)  in Aguinaldo St., City Subdivision, San Pablo City.  For several years now, CFC have been very gracious in lending their baptistry to TBC. The members sang the song “Rock of Ages” ,  followed by a short message of Pastor Rodel about the significance of the ordinance of baptism.

It was a cause of great joy for TBC members.  Welcome Andro and Shiela to your TBC family!

Last  Friday,  April 11,  TBC women (all 16 of them) came up with their own version of Women’s Day, when they decided to meet together for a whole day of  fellowship and learning at  the residence of Pastor Rodel and sister Haydee.   Present during the fellowship were  Gie, Janet with Japheth, Aileen with Eli, Nel, Nina, Mare, Mylene and Rhua, Mylene and Rose (who took respective  leave from their offices), Carol, Mel, Janet, Lani  and Ruby. They came in a rented jeepney to make their travel comfortable. Later, Angie and Irene came to join the group.  After brunch, each sister was given time to share her…

Its been almost a year that Pastor Rodel has not preached in SGBC.   And so today, March 23,  it was a pleasant surprise for him and his wife Haydee to see the new church building which is just enough to accommodate the more or less 200 attendees.  Pastor Rodel  handled the Sunday School class, where he discussed a powerpoint presentation about climate change. It was a very informative topic. Members and visitors were encouraged to take active part in protecting the environment by not being wasteful and to segregate, compost and recycle garbage.  For the worship service, the congregation was challenged to…

TBC is happy that Gab will be joining  his wife Czarina in New Zealand, after three months of separation. Yet  every time a member leaves, it is always leaves a tinge of sadness. Carlo Bustamante, who is fondly called by  friends and church members as Gab has been a member of TBC for barely  few months, yet  just like Czarina, he  has been a blessing to the church.  His love for the Lord and his desire to know more of Him are evident in his life. He  likes to read spiritual books and even shares eBooks through the church’ website.

As a way of committing Gab to the…

For the month of July, TBC Women ( singles and married)  met together after the corporate prayer meeting (3:00 to 4:00 pm) and talked about a very timely topic on Christian Modesty. Sister BimBim Espinosa of GBC gave an issue of Free Grace Broadcaster on Modest Apparel (Issue 216)  to Sister Haydee and this became the basis of  their discussion, together with the sermon of Pastor Albert Martin on Christian Modesty. The “mini-seminar” was a rebuke  and a reminder that TBC women should exhibit modesty in  dressing  because it mirrors the condition of the heart. May the Lord spare us from becoming an offence to men and be examples of how Christian women should dress.

The Lord is continually blessing the fellowship gathering of Filipino and foreign students every Friday  from 6:30  to 8:00 at Searca Hostel, UPLB. For this semester, ICM welcomes the attendance of four foreign graduate students: Albertha and Beatrice from Zambia, Iman from Iran and Bryan from Myanmar. Peter, an American has been regularly attending. He is not a graduate student but resides in Searca. The average attendance is 12 which includes our Filipino friends.

We are amazed at the working of God in the life of Bryan. He is blind but manages to study like normal student. He has a “talking computer”, which allows him to study and…
