Macarina's Hill of Zion Church Update

Grace Chapel Partners,




The Road to Macarina

 I want to give you an update on our new church at barangay Macarina's Hill of Zion Church.

First we need prayers for Pastor Alagos. He is having heart problems. He is resting and on medication while they figure out what is going on. Please pray for our Awesome God to heal him. Amen

We have had three Sunday services now at Macarina and here is a quote from Pastor Alagos. “Last Sunday we were there and the attendance were 18 young people 12 children and 6 adults because up to now Macarina is very busy doing the harvest and drying of rice grain. Good if this year we can start having there even a bamboo chapel and a little parsonage so that we can also stay there for a day or just two days a week together”… We will be making arrangement to build the bamboo church and parsonage so they can stay there as requested. It is a long way to travel back and forth in one day.

Pastor Alagos requested if we can buy a guitar and have a Karaoke machine repaired for the Hill of Zion Church. The hilly and often muddy road makes it hard to carry the ones they have back and forth. The total cost will be about $170.00.

One more big praise. Kenneth Mabry, son of Doug and Kim Mabry, who attend here at River Rock Church, will be going to help Pastor Alagos with the Hill of Zion Church. Kenneth graduates from Corban University this January. Kenneth is 22 years old and has a heart for missions. Pastor Alagos will be letting Kenneth live with them and involve Kenneth with the youth at the Hill of Zion Church. Also, Kenneth might be helping school teachers with English as Kenneth’s Bachelor degree is in communication. Kenneth will be there for 2-3 months and is paying his own way and volunteering his time, thank you Kenneth. Please pray Kenneth will receive a confirmation of God’s will for his life. Pray that both Kenneth and those he minister’s to there will be blessed and our Lord Jesus’ name will be glorified in this unique opportunity.

Thank you for your prayers and support. These blessings for the Filipino people are because of your willing and gracious hearts.

Because Jesus lives,
