Distribution of 550 Operation Christmas Child boxes

From Sister Ofel:
Hi Bro. Mike,
Grace and Peace from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! 
Last March 31, ECF, Bulabog, Capuy, Bucal-bucalan and Peñafrancia distributed OCC shoe boxes to 550 children. This is done in partnership again with Operation Christmas Child Samaritan’s Purse. Before giving the gifts, we teach them about the message of Salvation. Lead them in receiving Jesus Christ in their lives and invite them to attend Sunday Service. And we will follow-up them through children’s outreach ministry. 

 

Addendum to Tinampo update

Pastor Jess Huab and an Irosin church member can be seen here at the Irosin church constructing 12 benches for the new Tinampo church building.  Even Pastor Gumer’s adopted son Moses tries to help.  In a Sat. Feb 8th text from Pastor Gumer, he says that 6 people were in the process of painting these benches and digging a CR (comfort room) latrine in preparation for a 2 pm service in Tinampo the next day.
   

Tinampo update

Tinampo is a barangay on the northwestern outskirts of Irosin.  In the middle of last year, Pastor Gumer of the PAMI Irosin church told us how the owners of an old building in Tinampo offered to fix it up and make it available for starting ministry there.  After fixing the roof, they are now starting to use it.  This place could also use some better seating.  Here are some excerpts from an email from Pastor Gumer:
In regard to our ministry in Brgy Tinampo, last January 26, 2014 we held our first gathering for youths and children in our church there, although some of our three windows is under repair and the chairs are not ready to be used and the floor is not cemented, but our youth are all excited to attend the Sunday afternoon youth and children gathering.  Read More

Patag update

Patag is a barangay on the eastern outskirts of Irosin, where Pastor Jesus and Rebecca Huab have been conducting outreaches.  Pastor Jess is a 2012 EBI graduate who was added as a PAMI worker last fall.  Those outreaches included a three month feeding program sponsored by Child Community Ministry Philippines (CCMP).  After recently moving to a house they started renting for only 12 dollars a month, they also started conducting Sunday worship services in January.  They are now requesting some chairs which would cost 9 dollars apiece.  We’re glad to see how outreaches can lead to establishment of daughter churches.
 

Here are some excerpts from an email from Irosin Church Pastor Gumer Gile, his supervising pastor:

Reports from Pastor Virgilio Fulo

Since Pastor Virgilio Fulo is both the Overall Field Director of the PAMI mission and the Head of the Bulan Partition (Bulan church and its three daughter churches), his reports are twofold.  They include minutes of monthly meetings of all PAMI pastors/workers and also include activities of the Bulan church and its daughter churches.  Pastor Virgilio is the senior pastor of the Bulan church and lives in the connected parsonage there with his wife Letty and young adult sons.  Note that the Oct 30th PAMI worker meeting included an official welcome to Pastor Jess Huab as a new PAMI worker serving in Patag, Irosin.  Also note that one of the big agenda items of these meetings is preparing for a big all-PAMI youth camp scheduled for April 7-11 (which is towards the beginning of their summer vacation months of April and May).  Here are some pdf files with info and pictures of recent meetings and activities reported by Pastor Virgilio:
