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.

Damaged building at Pagudpud
Abraham Aguete (Caunayan, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte 2919, Republic of the Philippines) with the local brethren labored and sacrificed, and some Americans added funds, in order to construct a church building for the saints meeting at Pagudpud in the Ilocos Norte Province. I have preached there and this is a good stable church.
Church at Cordon, Isabela Province
The church at Cordon, Isabela Province, has existed since the early 1970’s. American military men helped put up a nice church building, but in recent years it was literally rotting and in danger of falling on the brethren. This is a large congregation of 100 or more, and during gospel meetings it definitely has more at times.
