Dear Pastor Paul,

 

          In behalf of HARIP BAPTIST CHURCH  we thank you for your kindness to us and for our brethren there who are willing to support in Prayer and in kind to us, thanks a lot.

 

         The church in Harip is located in coastal area facing the pacific ocean and if we go to town we need to ride a banca boat as Pastor Tuck called it.

now our seas still rough and we seldom used Banca Boat, we have also one jeepney from Harip to the Town of Hinatuan one trip a day. and if the jeepney got trouble we cant go to town. this is one of the major problem in my place , and we need your prayer for more transforation in our place.

 

      About  our ministry here by GOD'S GRACE it is growing now that we don’t have enough enough chair to used every Sunday, and we cant all get inside the little church building , and we borrow some chairs from the house of the members to used during Sunday service, and i personally happy because of the response of the people in this Barangay or village.  the Village officers here give as a lot for church in the Barangay site or in the center of the village , we are happy and praying now for the church building funds so that we can transfer to the center of the village.

 

     After Last October  2007 4 families added to us and they decide to follow the LORD in Baptism , i let them understand well the plan of GOD in the our life that we are having Bible study in their houses by schedule . The former Barangay Captain and his wife Danilo Ayaton Decide to follow JESUS and we have a regular Bible study in thier house ones  a weak. every day I have Bible study, and only my wife now who work for the needs of our family  by  bartering fish in the mountain side. im happy because she understand of my work but sometimes i feel guilty with my obligation to my family. Please Pray for me.

 

   We have a very wonderful celebration of New year, we have a little party that we call it bring your own baon, each member will bring food that they have and we share it inside the church after our worship service. we have parlor games for the kids and all go home with happiness inside.
