New Building for worship
These are the 1st pictures of the newly planted church.
The first two pictures show brother Nestor Francisco with U.S. brethren Kurt Jones and Jerry Parks in General Santos City, southern Mindanao, where Nestor lives. The next scene is the church which meets in an extension of Nestor’s home. When they outgrew this place, a group was encouraged to start a new congregation in their area and subsequent pictures show the beginning efforts to build a new church building.
This makes a good sequence of pictures, & the other message I forwarded shows the progress.
In Christian love,

Dear Brother Ron,
Greetings in Jesus name; Thanks for your great endeavor of spreading the pure Gospel not only here in the Philippines but also to other countries, Sorry that I was not able to went in Davao City to hear your lectureship because my wife also needs my help as she was hospitalized cause of -Bell’s Palsy- like Brother Juanito Balben’s face, also my wife now is recovering step by step, I know that someday we will meet again -To God be the Glory. Thanks also for your great effort and generosity of helping us financial and spiritual, may the Lord God would bless you more together with your loving family and all the Saints out there.
Last August 15, Monday- we had started our new building for worship but before that date, August 14 the Brethren here at Sarangani Homes Phase 2 and I had a prayer that God would help us for making the way possible. ( I attached some Photos) Picture #1 were Brother Kurt and Jerry Parks. Brother Jerry yearly visited us also and he stayed in our house while he was in General Santos City. Picture #2 was our Sunday Worship and Brother Toto Revilla -one of our elders- was the one served the Lord Supper. I know you remember him last time you went here in Sarangani Homes Phase 2 Congregation you met him. We are so crowded that some of them were standing outside that’s the reason why we decided to establish a new building for worship. Picture #3 and #5, I and Brother Toto Revilla got the point for the standing point of the building. The size of our new meeting place is 20ft x40ft. Picture #6 and #7 carpenters were doing there job, and Picture#8 and #9 was my wife and I standing at the side of the building, you will notice that no roof yet. This is our concern now.
Brother we need 40 pcs of GI Corr sheet for roofing 26×12 tower the price is (P264.00) each x 40 pcs.= (P10,560.00) plus GI Plain 26x3x6 3pcs, (P192.00) each =(P586.00) these are to be use at the center of the roof for cover, plus 3 kls. of umbrella head nails, each kilo is (P64.00)=(P128.00) the Total is (P11,274.00). Please Brother help us on this matter we need it so much, -We are the fruits of your labor- and we are very proud if you will visit us here. In behalf of all the Saints here we are always praying for you we love you.
Your Brother in Christ,
Nestor
