THE summer heat’s effects are felt by everyone undoubtedly. We are afflicted by the scorching rays of the sun and are irritated by the

searing warmth of the breeze. Amidst this uncomfortable hot situation is the call for us, Christians, to remain fiery in our spiritual lives. Let us keep on being revived as we refresh ourselves daily with God’s power through our close and sweet fellowship with Him. Let our thirst be quenched with full satisfaction by His invigorating Word. Let us not allow our souls to be dehydrated by worldly concerns. Let us not permit our spirits to experience a dry spell because of prayerlessness and disobedience to His commands.

We can turn this summer heat into a productive summer season by involving in our Church activities. We can become more fervent in praying, in Bible reading, in giving, in winning souls, in inviting people to our church services, in fetching visitors, in discipling, in singing heavenly songs, and in ministering to others. What else? We can join in our Daily Vacation Bible School (DVBS) endeavors and take part in our National Baptist Youth Conference (NBYC) projects.

There are more that we can do. In fact, the success of the feeding program that we had last week is a proof of involvement. Likewise, the victory of the Taiwan Outreach-Anniversary speaks of members’ participation. Let us keep on being a part of the Lord’s work with joy in our hearts … all for His glory and honor.

Here are my hands, LORD, privileged to be in Your perfect willAssign them to do Your entrusted role for them to fulfillNever let them disregard Your cross on Calvary’s hillDiscipline them to sacrifice, and in Your ministry, be stillSo as to lead the sin-captives to Your ransom’s liberty-bill.

The Sunday school is the most powerful education ministry in the church. It is an exciting and effective ministry of bringing children into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and preparing them to serve the Lord. This ministry carries out the Great Commission, teaches God’s Word systematically and leads to growth and maturity.

Our Church has opened its door for children through the Sunday School ministry during the first ever service in 1978. Since then, it has grown and in 1990, it has been organized into divided classed for Junior, Primary, Kindergarten, Nursery, and Cradle roll. Over the years, students grow in number and in knowledge of the Lord. On our 31st Anniversary, some of our students invited and assisted visitors because they were taught the importance of bringing souls to Christ. We thank our Pastor, Dr. Ed Laurena for emphasizing that the children of today are not just future leaders but they are part of our church. With this, different Sunday school department students are given the privilege to render a special number during Sunday morning service. There are also scheduled special numbers for primary and junior choir during Sunday afternoon services.

Through this ministry, teachers are equipped to become more effective in teaching the next generation with their Wednesday department meetings and scheduled training programs. They are trained and assisted to make lesson plans for their Sunday School classes. They meet every Saturday for Sabbath School to listen to the Sunday School lesson and to pray for their classes and students.

Today, we have an average of 850-900 students every Sunday. Since the number of students is growing, we need more committed and volunteer teachers. We also encourage the parents to bring their children to our Sunday school and to support the Sunday School children’s ministry.

Sunday School MinistryChildren’s Department

This soulwinning arm of our church was born from the efforts of BAPSECOM’s (Baptist Security Command) Moral Recovery Program in school campuses. As schools became more open for the Gospel this past two years, classroom soulwinning workers became a greater need. Soon Area workers began to involve in evangelizing schools within their respective vicinities. Also, the Department of Education’s local offices provided permits for our church to capture public school classrooms. And with this, “Classroom Evangelism Ministry” was established as an Area responsibility.

This ministry is one of the primary means for establishing future Campus Ministries. Furthermore, this ministry has been useful in bringing First Time Visitors not only during Church Anniversaries but also on regular Sunday services. As of now we have a number of participating schools:

- Kapayapaan National High School (Area 30)- Southville 1 National High School (Area 34)- Sampaguita National High School (Area 21)

- Biñan National High School (Area 23) - General Vito Belarmino National High School (Area 10) We encourage every members to get involved in this effort through the Area ministry.

School Campuses are now a great harvest field for the Gospel but laborers are still few. Our church is looking forward to open more of this ministry.

Classroom Evangelism Ministry

Ang sabi ni Hesus, “Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: walang makapupunta sa Ama kundi sa pamamagitan

ko.” Juan 14:6

Wala nang iba pang makapagliligtas sa iyo mula sa impierno. Magtiwala ka kay Hesus ngayon! (Roma 6:23)

“Kung ipahahayag ng iyong bibig na si Hesus ay Panginoon at mananam-palataya ka nang buong puso na Siya’y muling binuhay ng Diyos, ikaw ay maliligtas”. Roma 10:9

1. Aminin mo na ikaw ay isang makasalanan. Roma 3:102. Talikuran mo ang iyong mga kasalanan (magsisi). Gawa 17:303. Manampalataya ka na si Kristo Hesus ay namatay para sa iyo,

nalibing at nabuhay namagmuli. Roma 10:9-104. Sa pamamagitan ng panalangin, tanggapin mo si Hesus sa

iyong puso bilang iyong Tagapagligtas. Roma 10:13

MANALANGIN KA NG GANITOPanginoon, ako po ay isang makasalanan at nangangailangan ng kapatawaran. Nanampalataya po ako na nadanak ang dugo ni Hesus at Siya ay namatay sa krus para sa akin. Tinatalikuran ko na po ang aking mga kasalanan. Tinatanggap ko po si Kristo Hesus sa aking puso bilang aking Tagapagligtas. Amen.

Kung tinanggap mo si Hesus bilang iyong Tagapagligtas, ito na ang simula ng iyong bagong buhay kay Kristo (Roma 8:1). Ngayon:

1. Basahin mo ang iyong Biblia araw-araw upang makilala pa ng lubusan si Kristo Hesus.

2. Makipag-usap ka sa Diyos sa panalangin araw-araw. 3. Manambahan ka sa isang simbahan na pinapangaral si Kristo at

ang Biblia ang tanging pamantayan.4. Ibahagi sa iba si Kristo Hesus.

Ayon sa Biblia, Iisa Lamang ang Daan Patungong Langit!
