Dear Praying Brethren

Greetings!

It has been sometime since I sent an update about the work in the southern part of the Philippines. I hope to do that soon. But for now, I have some urgent matters I would ask you to pray for.

First, tonight (Wednesday) my fellow pastors (Pastor Edo, Pastor Paul) and I will be leaving for Ozamis. After helping out this fellowship for about three years now, it is time to interview who will become the charter members of a church that will be established there. This group was a charismatic church without a clear membership. They decided to downgrade their status from a church that baptizes and celebrates the Lord’s Supper to a mere fellowship that meets for worship and the study of Scriptures every Lord’s Day and prayer every Friday. The interviews will be on Thursday and Friday. Pastor Edo and I will leave on Friday night for Cebu for the weekend ministries here. Pastor Paul will stay behind for the weekend ministries there in Ozamis. /We would appreciate your prayers for safety in travel, and above all, wisdom as we read the written testimonies, interview those applying, and make our recommendations/.

Secondly, as some of you might be aware, there is a huge Mardi Gras every year here in Cebu in honor of an idol “Sto. Nino”. For two weeks now, there has been big nightly celebrations leading up to a huge revelry this Sunday on the streets for the entire day. We are distributing tracts throughout the entire week exposing the God-displeasing and God-dishonoring nature of this religious activity, especially to our neighbors, relatives, friends, workmates, etc. /We would appreciate your prayers for this effort. Pray for boldness, and at the same time, meekness and wisdom. Pray that God will open the eyes and hearts of many! /

Thank you for your prayers.




Pastor Jose Francis "Nene" Martinez
In behalf of my fellow-pastors and the members of Sovereign Grace Bible Church
