"LOVE $ SACRIFICE FOR THE WORK OF CHRIST"

Dear praying saints in Christ,

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour." (Ephesians 5:1-2). These verses really gives us more fire in our hearts to continue serve our living and true God (I Thess. 1:9); for we are not only to believe on Christ, but also to suffer for his sake (Philippians 1:29).
March 23, 2010, our Pre-Elem Graduation and Elementary students Recognition day was held at our Church Sanctuary wherein some of our parent visitors have made profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
March 31 through April 2, 2010 Preaching Baptist Revival (A Bible Conference) was held in the Municipal Building of Luna, Apayao (approx. 700 kms. away, North). The preaching of the gospel of the grace of God has benefited attended unbelievers with salvation and did great encouragement to many preachers and believers. It's a twelve (12) hour travel.
April 13-16, 2010 our Annual Summer Camp was held at the same venue as last year. Again, victory in the Lord Jesus Christ was gained through many expressed testimonies of several campers - through the solid preaching of God's living words (Jonh 6:63; Hebrews 4:12) they have been convicted, cleansed, challenged and called to served! Glory to God for the manifestation of His grace (Acts 11:23).
April 19-22, 2010 my family and I, together with some youth, we went to Lipa City, Batangas (more or less 300 kms. away Southwest) for another Camp Meeting joined by several fellowship churches near that area. After my Wednesday preaching (April 21) of the gospel of Christ (I Cor. 15:1-4) and His words (Rom. 10:17), at least eight (8) hippie-looking, earrings-decorated and hair-spiked-looking youth were convicted and came forward, with repentant hearts, have weepingly accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. After the invitation moment was ended, these 8 young people, together with those who have been enlightened, touched and blessed with God's powerful words made their heart-warming testimonies! O what a glory and grace in the Lord! Please pray for their spiritual growth.
May 18, 2010 a great day of our 1st Bible School Commencement Exercise, a gracious product of our collective effort, love and sacrifices, was held here at Hampton Court Bible Institute (MBFBC-Dau) wherein nine (9) Graduate of Theology Degree and eighteen (18) underclassmen were recognized and received their corresponding Diplomas and Certificates.
May 20-23, 2010 our Annual Mission Conference was held victoriously by the grace of God. Eleven God's preachers were with me during the course of this very important activity in reminding and challenging God's people of the eternal value of Christ work where neither sickness, life nor death could prevent this high, holy and heavenly calling for all believers to do - "PREACHING NOT OURSELVES, BUT CHRIST JESUS THE LORD; AND OURSELVES YOUR SERVANTS FOR JESUS' SAKE" (2 Cor. 4:5).
Truly, we wholeheartedly salute and thank those who've been praying for us and helping us with their hard-earned finances regularly and occasionally. We are so grateful to God for using you unselfishly and sacrificially. Thank you, thank you for your untiring love and concern.
Please help us pray to find donors to get even a slightly used vehicle (van) to replace our 1992 model Korean van which we purchased, as used, on March 2001. It's been in the repair shop oftentimes and NOW it is still at the shop for three weeks now after our Lipa City Camp (April 19-22). We are praying for, at least, $15,000.00USD. The needed vehicle is VERY USEFUL in "reaching out...," "follow up," "revisiting" (Acts 15:36) and in many urgent activities in our church-planting, equipping and training believers, fetching visitors, etc. Would you help?

In His service,
Bro. Angel Duenas & family
