Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Agutaynens Update

The following is an update from David's brother and his team who are presently presenting the chronological teaching (creation to Christ) in the Philippines. Praying we soon have brothers and sisters in the Lord in this village.

DIGGING FOR GOLD
JUNE 21, 2009



Our second week of Bible teaching is now completed. We again had a full crowd, with approximately 150 people in attendance, including children. We are thankful that the Lord enabled us to build a big enough building for everyone to fit under the shelter! And there is still room for more. Pray that the Lord will continue to bring the Agutaynens to hear His Word.

In reminiscing with a friend this week, Stephen was reminded of what the Agutaynens thought about us when we first moved in amongst them. Stephen's friend said that people thought we were just coming to search for lost gold. Then he said, “Now we know that you came to bring us a different kind of gold, from above.” How thankful we are that God’s Word is going forth! It is a precious treasure, and will bring many precious souls to Himself!

This week our lesson on Monday night will be about Noah & the Flood. Wednesday night will be about the Tower of Babel & Abraham. We greatly appreciate your continued prayers.
