Dear Beloved Pastor Ted and family, …
Once again warm greetings in the wonderful name of the Lord from us here in the Philippines! Please forgive me my long delayed email to you Pastor Ted. My health is greatly affecting me. My hyper tension and diabetes are getting worse. However, the ministry of the Lord is always growing because the Lord is always on His throne.
Yes, the work of the Lord here in my area is progressing, the church now I'm pastoring is known as Bethel Reformed Church. The work is growing because of our small bible school the Bethel Puritan Theological School and Advanced Studies. Well, the SBC ministry here is expanding in Mindanao island because of our graduates and workers from the school. The students that I trained are now pastors and Christian workers and they were the ones who are blessed to use the SBC materials and methods. Indeed, these are very valuable materials.
… I'm so happy that you are delighted to hear about ministry here in Surigao del Norte, Mindanao island esp. my involvement in SBC seminars. Here are some of the photos and was related to my SBC seminar of more than one hundred seventy plus drug addicts personalities. I conducted this seminar here in the town of Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte, Mindanao, Philippines.
… I [also] conducted a trainers [conference] for all pastors to be SBC speakers and lecturers. The pastors training was conducted last time at a local Reformed Church in Bacolod City that was around 22-23 of December 2016. Please continue to pray for us here in the Philippines and the work of the Lord esp. SBC related activities. Finally, many thanks for reading. The Lord bless and keep you and your wife!
We love you both in the Savior,
Your co-laborer,
Ebenezer Nombre
