Jhun Bautista’s Report On Cabanatuan City Church Building

[slideshow id=9]

I attached some pictures for you to see the recent progress of the construction of our church building in Cabanatuan City.  We were thankful for the $500 you gave on April and helped much to move forward our building construction.  From the help you gave, we added 15, 000 from our church treasury, 10, 000 pesos again from individuals, and we borrowed 10, 000 pesos.  Right now we are ready for putting the steel trusses roof and galvanized iron sheet, steel windows, and doors.  We are sure if we completed the materials, then we could be able to use now the church building for our services even the floorings are not yet cemented.  We need almost 200,000 pesos ($4,800) more to get these materials.

Brother Jim McDonald gave $500 too with his recent trip here.  We were thankful for it and a great help for the construction.  We need $4,300 more.  The brethren here are willing to continue to give from their individual pockets as they did before.  We decided that we can give from individuals here $1,300.  From this we are soliciting about $3,000 more to complete the materials and we could be able to use the building.  I hope you are encouraged when you see the progress of our building construction.

I am praying that you would have again planning to come in our country shortly.  I hope you would be able to come in Cabanatuan to see our church building and will preach even only for one day.  You are welcome here.

Thanks for your continued love for the the work of the Lord in our country.  We appreciate your love to the Filipino saints.  May our Almighty God will continue to bless you richly.

In His service,

JHUN BAUTISTA

New Building in Cabanatuan City

Brother Celestino “Jhun” Bautista is a sound stable steady saint and longtime gospel preacher who lives at 128 BRIONES VILLAGE, SAN ISIDRO, CABANATUAN CITY, NUEVA ECIJA 3100 in the Philippines.  Jim McDonald, faithful preacher in Lufkin, TX, has known Jhun for many years and has full confidence in him.  I have visited Jhun and the brethren meeting in his home in Cabanatuan City, and we have worked together.  They have outgrown his house and sacrificed to start a church building, but their efforts have been stalled by lack of funds.  These pictures show the present state of the construction as of January 2012.  We hope to find funds to help these brethren, a prime example of helping those who first help themselves.
