| Sept 2012 |  | It’s All About Ministry | Ministry is all about serving others. |  | | This year when the typhoons hit us… God spared our Church and our home from devastation but so many people could not say that. when I contacted my friend. A Pastor of a Church in San Mateo, to see how it was by him he told me it was bad. He had opened his doors to some 500 victims of the flood and now he had the daunting task of feeding all of them. I tried my best to reach out. I called on Christians through the internet to help but no one responded. I tried the Red cross but they were overwhelmed and so we got together all the money we could and sent it over as did many other Pastors in the area. That was the way in which we could serve. This verse came to mind, how could we do less? Pro 21:13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. |  |
|  | Senior in Need turns into a Blessing An older lady with not much to live on, was looking to find a spiritual home. Her daughter recommended that she check out our Church. She said they have always been nice to me there. Well she came and we were able to help her somewhat but it doesn’t end there. She was a seamstress and had material from her days overseas. She also had a couple of sewing machines and a edger. The ladies got together and “Nanay” as they call her, started to teach them how to sew, make their own patterns and put it all together. Now Nanay receives proceeds from the things that they make and it has also helped the ladies of the church. Here are the ladies modeling some gowns that were made. One of the ladies commented, “It’s funny, when we were married we could not afford such beautiful gowns but now that we are at PBC, we can!” | |  |
|  | | Ministry means people meet Jesus! You have heard the saying that all roads lead to Rome? Well, here at PBC, all methods lead to Jesus. We knew from the beginning being all mouth and no action leads people away from Jesus. However when all our ministry caters to the well being of the poor, they recognize that we love them and they come to Jesus because we show Him to them. PBC has been very successful through the years using these methods. Here are some of our ministries:Music Ministry, New house to house ministry, Doorknocking and Visitation Ministry, Youth and Children’s Ministry, Women’s and Men’s Ministry, Livelihood Ministry, VBS & Camp Ministry, Christmas Ministry. <<This is “Nanay” She always has a huge smile! |  Our Sixth Anniversary is Coming up On November 4th But we won’t be celebrating this year With all the things we have tried to do with others, we ourselves have become broke. Our stand against Abortion and Same sex marriages has cost us some supporters while the exchange rate is 20% less than when we started. On top of that we have to leave our Church by December and we have no money and no way to get any. My children missed the last year of school as we only received $150 towards the costs. We have put that on the side and we are praying for more income. Please pray. God is faithful and it is a Ministry that I love so much. Helping others see Jesus and getting them on their feet, teaching children and giving them hope for the future, it’s all been great. We even had 68 doorknockers last Saturday. the Payatas is an extremely poor area but it is a gold mine for souls. Please pray for the laborers.  May God Bless you as you bless others Pastor Jack, Malou, Laura & Linda | | |
