New Church Website

I’m excited to announce the launching of the official website of the Bible Baptist Church – http://www.bbcdavao-guerrero.org.

As of the moment, we are still in the process of uploading all the contents of the site. We are praying that the Lord would use this tool to inform, instruct and inspire folks to serve the Lord with their lives.

The site would be used to upload pictures, music and videos from the services. The Lord willing, it is our desire to provide live streaming for our services so that our members abroad would be able to watch and be blessed.

Do continue to pray for the Lord’s hand upon this project. We believe that this is the Lord’s doing and we are yielding to His direction even in the smallest of details

May the Lord richly bless you!

Leadership Requirements

Before someone becomes a worker at the Bible Baptist Church in Guerrero. He/she has to submit to the leadership requirements or standards laid down by our pastor and of course, the Word of God. Here is a sample form:

Mission Trips to Lasang & Napisolan

I count it a great privilege joining my pastor on a mission trip last Thursday, August 13. Together with some men of the church, we visited the work of Bro. Armando Dusonan in Lasang, Bukidnon and Bro. Danilo Dao-an in Napisolan also in Bukidnon.

We conducted a preaching service in Lasang under their un-finished church building. The Lord blessed with 44 coming to trust Christ as Saviour. Those same people then followed the Lord in the waters of baptism. The Lord led my Pastor to immediately organize that work into a local church under the authority of its sending church, Bible Baptist Church in Napisolan. God truly worked in a marvelous way!

LASANG

We then headed to Napisolan to have another service. 17 came to follow the Lord in Believers’ Baptism and were baptized at the river right below the church. Bro. Luke Pensader of Tibal-og and Bro. Armando Dusonan had the privilege of baptizing these new converts.

NAPISOLAN

I thank the Lord for the wonderful opportunity He has given in allowing me to go to these places. We have to see the urgency and need to pray for more laborers in the harvest field of our Lord. I’m praying that God would continue to supply the needs of these mission works and empower its Pastors to preach the whole counsel of God.

Just Being a Blessing

Great Opportunities

It is wonderful to serve the Lord. I thank Him for saving me and for calling me into His work. I just want to share what He has allowed me to do in various places in this month.

In Panabo
Last July 9, 2009 I was privileged to be invited to the Bible Baptist Church – Panabo for their 2^nd Annual Mission Conference. I enjoyed good time of visitation and fellowship with their pastor, my friend, Steve Ong. They had a theme of “Ye are Witnesses” from Acts 1:8. I preached that night from Acts 8 on the Ethiopian Eunuch. The Lord blessed in a special way and I give Him all the glory for that. I encourage you to be in prayer for the church, their pastor and his family as they labor for the Lord in that needy area.

In Malita
July 14-16, 2009

I enjoyed a wonderful opportunity being with the opening of the 3^rd Year of the Bible Baptist Institute Opening in Malita. The school has been blessed with 18 graduating students! All of them excited and eager to serve the Lord. My pastor, Rev. Anselmo Ingay, preached a great message on Gideon and how he conquered the challenges by relying upon the Lord.

The following day, I taught classes on the Articles of Faith, Song leading and Soul Winning. During the afternoon, all of us went out to the community and practiced what we have learned in the classroom. Joy can be seen on the faces of each one as they shared their soul winning experiences. I also thank the Lord for the great opportunity of preaching His Word that night. The altars were filled as Christians dedicated themselves to the Lord.

Please be in prayer for Bro. Joel Brasileno & family as they seek to labor for the Lord in Malita.

I give glory to God for all the things He has allowed me to do. It’s my desire to just be a blessing.

‘Til next time!

The History & Purpose of BBI

“The History and Purpose of our Bible Institute”
2 Timothy 2:1-4; Hebrews 5:1-4
Given by Rev. Anselmo Ingay last July 7, 2009

The 1^st Bible School was opened by Rev. Schott on June 9, 1959 – that was 50 years ago. We are now on the 48^th year because there was 2 year period when Bible School was stopped. When Bible school started, they had only one teacher, Rev. Schott with the help of Mrs. Schott. In 50 years of existence, I’m proud to say that out Bible institute remains the same. What it was 50 years ago is very much the same now.

Fathers’ Day Tribute

Father’s day is always a special day for us at the Bible Baptist Church. This year was “extra” special as a tribute was presented by the young people for the fathers. The tribute was simply entitled, “A Spiritual Father”.

I had the privilege of bringing the message from Joshua 24:14-15 on the characteristics of a spiritual father. We took time honoring the Lord for giving us men who, in spite the difficulties and trials of this present world, are faithful in rearing up “generational warriors” who’ll take the truth of God’s Word and give to the next generation.

My dad was a great man of God – a missionary who spent his life in faithful service to his Savior.  His list of accomplishments is long and impressive.  We honor him today for being that man of God and for faithfully carrying out his calling.
