Leyte, Biliran

On Monday, 29th of February 2016

It belongs to the task also of  a District Apostle to visit regularly the subdistricts in a working area. February 25 to 28 it was Leyte and Biliran.

After a survey of a NACSEARelief project in Ormoc (see www.nacsearelief.org “the people of Codilla”) a divine service was conducted in Lanigpa. Highlight was then the Biliran Youth weekend at Agta Beach in Almeria. While the youth engaged in sport activities, Priests gathered for a meeting on various doctrinal topics. Saturday ended  in a youth fellowship of singing and discussions. Sunday sermon was based on 1. Corinthians 7:23. The price was high, let us not step into the slave trap again. We please God and not man, earthly powers shall not impress us. Christ’s victory must become our victory, too. Speciald focus was also given on the forthcoming divine service for the departed.

The local church needs badly repair and renovation and plans were discussed. On the way back a short visit at Bobonon church.

This is what Apostles are doing when they travel. Conduct services, have lectures, participate in fellowships, answer questions, survey community projects or just knock at the door to surprise members with a visit.
