The Philippines (1)

We just returned to Singapore after spending eight days in the Philippines.  One of the highlights of our trip was getting to know some of the saints in the churches there. Our first opportunity to do this came last Thursday night, when my husband and I went with Rev. & Sharon Kleyn to a class at Provident Christian Church.  Rev. Kleyn is teaching Essentials of Reformed Doctrine, and the class Thursday was about God's Church.

On Sunday Rev. Kleyn preached in Singapore, and Sharon took us to two different churches. My husband preached in Bulacan in the morning.  On the way to church (about an hour and a half drive), we got caught in a lot of traffic by a market that was open next to a big church so that the church people could shop when their service was finished.

We finally did arrive at the church in Bulacan.

Many pictures were taken in both churches on Sunday!

The first service in Bulacan was at 8:30 a.m., and we left just before the second service, which was going to start at 10:45.  We drove to Berean PRC, about an hour and a half drive from Bulacan, for their 1:30 service.

This is where the Berean PRC is currently meeting.  

They are building a new church next door.

There were many visitors, so the building was very full.

I cannot describe the feeling of worshiping in these places, with groups of God's people in another land wholeheartedly singing the same praises to Him that we sing in Singapore and in the U.S.  The class on Thursday and the services on Sunday were truly blessed experiences.
