BAPTIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER 17 JUNE 2023
Mission Philippines – Praise God for a successful MAP Toolkit online seminar
Thank you all for your prayers. The MAP Toolkit online seminar was a success. There were 44 registered participants, most pastors of churches in the mountains of South Negros, Philippines.
I am deeply humbled and thankful because this online training fulfills my long-time plan to share the MAP Toolkit with God’s shepherds in the PhilippineGod’saying for more mission opportunities like this.
Below are two photos of the participants.
Testimony through photos
I found this photo online of the OBC congregation in 1900. What does the old photo say about our church 123 years ago? We need a photo of us in 2023.
