making disciples...
For the first time in my life I went out for another island to snorkel. Coming along with the team of Tom Smith, after a week a medical mission, the team decided to have an outing escapade to a remote island in Biliran province.
The location is a little far from Ormoc, about 2 and a half hours drive, you will reach Almeria, Naval. There you will see in a distant several isolated islands where you can have a beautiful site of underwater picture of mother nature.
Tom’s team is not only confined with the medical mission it gives. The team in cooperation of the OLCM also reached the school in Tambulilid. Feeling the need of students who have very limited ability to enrich their knowledge is a great way to reach them. The school lacks library, medical supplies, technical equipments like computers, sports equipments and many other things especially the spiritual need of the children.
Part of our celebrations is the Free Medical Clinic. There were five locations where we held our medical clinic: Brgy Tambulilid, Ormoc City; Baybay, Leyte; Brgy. Kambonnggan, Baybay, Leyte, and Brgy. Malitbogay, Javier, Leyte.
In Tambulilid alone, the medical team brought by Tom Smith was able to serve about 250 patients for two days. It was indeed a very busy week for the team since there was a great need of health awareness in the areas they served.
Ormoc Lighthouse Christian Ministry celebrates its 10th Anniversary on June 14, 2009. It was one of the major gatherings and perhaps the biggest gathering of the Lighthouse Ministries for the past 5 years.
All of the Lighthouse outreaches in Ormoc attended this great celebration with their respective pastors. Rev. Tom Smith was the guest speaker of the celebration. Ptr. Cleto Bacarro who was the first official pastor of the Lighthouse is also present which made it a great reunion for all Lighthouse pastors and workers
Last Saturday, June 13, our pastors together with the our preachers had a lunch fellowship in one of the resort here in Ormoc. Our guests, Tom Smith and the medical team are our honory guests. Tom Smith was the founder of “The Lighthouse Resource Center” which is now known as the “Ormoc Lighthouse Christian Ministry”.
Our upcoming Church 10th Anniversary Celebration is only a few days ahead. We will start our celbration a couple of days before Sunday, the big event and will continue 2 days after. This means that the over all celebration is about 5 days long.
But of course we do not have all the energy in purely celebrating through singing and dancing. We have made several events just before the actual celebration. Here’s the list of activities that we will be having over the weekend until next week.
A tiring day, but a fruitful day. This is how I can describe this day’s events in our life in the Lighthouse. The ministry is getting heavier, wider and broader. Behind all these things a reward comes for the discipler.
There’s nothing more exciting with the ministry of a discipler than to see his disciples making disciples and becoming disciplers themselves. This is what is happening to Ormoc Lighthouse Christian Ministry. A group of women who decided to call themselves “Lydia’s Merchants” moved on and started to make disciples. Five from their Bible study group decided to get baptized today
