A Visit to Ifugao Province

During the week of Christmas, we spent several days in the Ifugao province. Rev. David Yucaddi invited R.G. to preach in five of the Bible Methodist Gospel Light churches.

The first place we visited was the new church that is being planted in Bokiawan (a little community on the side of a mountain about one hour from Banaue). David Yucaddi's wife, Margie, began holding services there less than one year ago, and already God has entrusted them with a growing congregation. We shared pics of this place several months ago. This time, we are happy to be able to show you not only the PLACE, but also the PEOPLE to whom she and her helpers are ministering.

Here are some snapshots from our visit on the Sunday morning before Christmas as well as a few shots from some of the other places where we travelled and preached . . .

Sarah's Birthday

The day before Sarah's birthday, just before we left campus to travel to Baguio City, a group of young people from the Carumatan Bible Methodist Church surprised her with a birthday celebration.

They serenaded her with several beautiful songs, including this one . . .

. . . and then they served a delicious birthday meal consisting of several special Filipino dishes. It was a highlight of our visit in Pangasinan. We thank the Lord for the many new friends that He is bringing into our lives. Our prayer is that we will also be a blessing to them.
