I had a great privilege of visiting Mt. Carmel in Kinuskusan, Bansalan Davao del Sur. It is owned by the Southern Baptist Convention to which it is popular for having a “Rural Life Training Center”. The training center focuses on training people for rural living. They teach agri-technology which can be very useful for farmers. The place was really cool. It has a Tabernacle, dormitories, and a backyard demo farm. The demo farm has a piggery, fish ponds, goat dairy farm, vegetable farm, and even vermiculture / vermicomposting technology.
An Escapade In Palompon, Leyte
I first heard about the beauty of Palompon, Leyte last May of this year. But I really have no idea of what it looks like once we go to the source of its pride. Until one day, when my discipleship group was talking about a possible outing, one of my disciple suggested to try Palompon. And so it was.
It took us a couple of months to plan for team building outing for the Men’s group. However, along the way, our wives won’t allow us to go without them. And so it was.
There were also trials in the planning. Some of the original people who joined the planning backed out several weeks just before November 2. But there were still some who pursued the plan since this is their only time to escape from their laborous work. The next holiday will still be months away.
Palompon, A Jewel Of Leyte
Palompon is a 2nd class municipality located in the North West part of Leyte. Decades ago, it is one of the biggest towns of Leyte. In fact, Ormoc City was just formerly a part of the municapility of Palompon. However, time passed and Ormoc continued its economic and population progress due to its strategic location. Now Palompon remained a municipality, and still a home for the treasures of nature.
Another baptism happened on August 9, 2009. Three souls followed the Lord through water baptism. It was a hot, sunny Sunday but everyone is very excited for the baptism. Ate Bebe Pacurib, Charilou Estano and a young people from Tambulilid named Jerome finally decided to take a step of faith in obeying God’s word.
As usual just before baptism day, I went out to Lilion to reserve two cottages for the OLCM. The day was a blessed day. Below are some pictures from the event.
Friday, August 7, 2009 I attended the Leyte Association of Southern Baptist Churches Executive Committee associational meeting for the 17th Annual Meeting. It was also attended by several pastors, mostly leaders of different areas in Leyte.
The main agenda of the meeting was about the upcoming LASBC’s Annual Associational Meeting this coming October 28-30, 2009 (Wednesday-Friday). The committee agreed for the following things:
