We celebrated Easter in Alibang last month! John Santos (more about John later in the blog) preached a great sermon sharing the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ to 90 men and women who knew little or nothing about the Lord. Our new intern Sarah, and team member Alycia, also went with us to minister to the people of Alibang. The worship was led by Emily, one of the owners of the property where the chapel was built. The people in this area are so sweet and love to worship! ALL came forward for the altar call, many to receive Christ and others for various prayer needs.
It was also so rewarding to observe John and see what the Lord has done in his life. We met John in 2008 when he was an inmate and attending the men's bible study in jail. He grew quickly and began to assist Pastor Mar leading the study with 35 other inmates. Released last year, John helps Pastor Mar four days a week with bible studies in Barangay Pag-Asa and the jail. He also teams with Sonny on Saturdays for the Project Life Men's bible study and has been teaching the men about addiction and recovery. We are amazed to see how Christ has transformed this man! God is so good!
