Grace Chapel News - Church 1

Grace Chapel Partners,


I wanted to bring you up to date on the progress of our first church plant. Please continue to keep this in your prayers. As you look at this date for prayer remember they are a day ahead of ous, 16 hours.

Here is the latest news, in part, from Pastor Alagos:

Warm greetings. Thank you very much for all your prayers. The following are the plans for starting our new church. On Sept. 17-18 we will have training and revival fellowship at Tabernacle of Praise Community Church. There will be 40 selected members from our church, from Grace Chapel and 2 churches that I’ve planted last year also a community church. We will have refreshing fellowship and I will be their speaker. Participants will help on the crusade to be launched on September 24-25 at Barangay Macarina, Patnongon, Antique 15 kilometers from the town proper.

And now more good news on the second church from Pastor Alagos:

I have a surprise update for you!! after we planted our first church this October I have already another target place in the school which I've assigned. I started a bible study there and we have already two families who have committed their lives to the Lord Jesus. Probably by November we can conduct crusade there and before the end of this year we can plant our second church. Please pray for us.

Thank you very much for all your prayers and support..... May God give all the increase to those hearts who have committed for Grace Chapel Ministries.

Thank you very much.

Love and Prayer,

Pastor Alagos

This Picture is Myself, Pastor Alagos and Family

By God Grace we will start the plant of our 1st New Church the third week of this month!!!! We will need lots of prayer and fasting for those who are able. Please mark the third week for extra prayer.

                                                                                                      

Below is the a copy of the email I just received from Pastor Alagos. I won't share all the emails but I thought this one was special as it shows the heart of Pastor Alagos and those that work with him. May the Lord bless us all as we unite to plant this new Church and harvest the Lord's own in the Philippines.



Here is Pastor Alagos:



Dear Bro. Steve,

Praise God for what the Lord has done.!

We were on fasting for the past days with regards to our forthcoming Crusade to be conducted third week of this month to certain place in the town of Patnongon. I have already organize the group from our church to work with me and this week I am planning to meet the barangay captain for the schedule so that I can start announcing it in the radio. The plan will be a 2 night concert crusade and the highlight is the live taping of my radio program. There will be a massive evangelism during the day and after two days group bible study will begin 3xweek.Depending on the flow of bible studies( at least 3 centers)., in a 1-2 months time we can gather them in one place and finally construct a church and assigned a Pastor. My wife and I will be working with that pastor for a month time before finally he can work independently with my guidance.Bro. Steve please pray for us especially the needs for this 2-day crusade. We will be borrowing some equiptments from the other church and we will be networking some close friends to work with us. We have a lot to prepare but I know God will be with us and He will meet every need. We are banking for your back-up support of prayers, may God in his glory will visit that barangay and bring people to him. The Lord said when we praise him, he will draw near people to him.

Last night I dream that you and I were walking at the middle of a very wide field of rice ready for the harvest but I was in tears because many people just passing by, they just do the harvest anywhere they like and many grains have waisted away. Then all of the sudden fire from heaven came and consumed the feild ....there was a great fire and we run away for our lives. I woke up and I begun to seek God in my prayer and I remember our plan of crusade this coming October and I can no longer wait for that as the Lord supplied our needs so I said Lord we will have crusade this September and just dropby in the internet and read your message. Praise God, Hallleujah .... surely he will make things beautiful in his time.

Tomarrow i will be in that place to make some contacts and to meet the barangay captain so that I can schedule the final date of the crusade. I know that theres a lot of hardwork on this matter but with God's grace and favors we can do all thing through Him who strengthens us. Please page our prayer partners to pray for us and for this fortcoming crusade... May God meet every needs.

Thank you very much for your love and concern to us.

Love and Prayer,

Pastor Alejo Alagos
