Div. or a BS Theology graduate of Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary, you probably have heard about the name Dr. Catalino Pamplona. Yes, he is the author of “Baptist History” book of the Philippines.

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. . . . → Read More: Visiting Mt Carmel at Kinuskusan, Bansalan Davao del Sur 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. . . . → Read More: Palompon Escapade It has been almost a week that I have been a little silent. It all started last week when I attended the 17th Associational Meeting of Leyte Association of Southern Baptist Churches. The meeting has a theme: “Steadfastness For A Better Harvest” taken from the key verse Galatians 6:9. Since Ptr. Joe Ytom was not able to come due to health reason, the meeting was still blessed by equally powerful speaker, Ptr. Joe Fernandez. The meeting’s lectures were about worship leading lead by Cainta Baptist Church worship team and Preaching Lessons taught by yours truly. About 70-80 people attended the meeting and it was indeed a great blessing to each one of us. God’s message centered about the “Bountiful Harvest” in the Lord. Ptr. Joe talked about harvest season. By quoting the incident where Jesus ask water from a Samaritan woman, Ptr. Joe explained that the Samaritan woman have become the harvest, and immediately became a harvester where she went to her relatives and told them about Jesus Christ. . . . → Read More: LASBC 17th Associational Meeting Christians Were Also Victims of Typhoon Ondoy For the last few days of following the news, I could not help but to let tears fall from my eyes seeing my fellow Filipinos suffering from the catastrophic effect of the Typhoon Ondoy. There were already close to 100 death toll and still unknown total numbers of missing people. We are not talking about remote places, we are talking about the capital city of the Philippines, Manila along with surrounding metro provinces like Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, Cavite, etc. Typhoon Ondoy already have damaged about Php95M worth of crops in Calabarzon alone (Inquirer). Hundreds of millions in damaging properties like vehicles, houses, appliances, etc. Thousands were in evacuation areas. Hundreds of people were now getting sick. My dearest brethrens, I encourage you all to pray for the Filipno people. We are in the midst of crisis. We have lots of Christian brothers who were also affected by typhoon Ondoy. And worst, there is another typhoon threatening the Philippines within two to three days. Pray that God will intervene on these catastrophic event. May God save the Philippines. . . . → Read More: A Call For Prayer For Filipinos 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. . . . → Read More: OLCM Baptized 3 |
