Pastor Alejo Alagos will make a second and final run at attempting to get his US Visa from the American Embassy in Manila. Alejo was turned down the first time because they thought he would go to the US work illegally, and send money to his family. His trip to meet you all and be ordained by River Rock Church (RRC) was well documented. They turned him down anyway. They did not even consider the letters from Dr. Elder David Robinson, Pastor Kelly and I as valid.
We are much better documented this time. Our documentation will be overwhelming. However, the interview will only be a few minutes and a knee jerk decision. The interviewers will see hundreds that day! No will be the typical decision.
So, I’m asking that we enlist God with some earnest prayer from Grace Chapel Partners. I’m suggesting that we pray (and fast if you’re able) for 10 days prior to the interview and during the interview. If God wants Pastor Alagos in the US, He will make the way. But first He may want to know if Grace Chapel Partners, River Rock Church, Imbler Christian Church, and Faith Baptist Church want Pastor Alagos in the US. Each of us praying for 10 days will show the Lord we are serious about this event.
With confidence I can say you all will be blessed in meeting your brother Pastor Alejo Alagos from the Philippines. Pastor Alagos has started 27 churches in his 27 years of ministry. He is a Principal for two elementary schools, and a full time Pastor/Evangelist for our Lord and now Grace Chapel Partners, River Rock Church, Imbler Christian Church, and Faith Baptist Church.
HERE IS THE PROCESS. I will remind you all each day for 10 days to pray (fast). The rest is between you and the Lord. The 200 Grace Chapel Partners, Elders from River Rock Church, Imbler Christian Church, and Faith Baptist Church, in concert, on their knees before the Lord should be an awesome event!
Pastor Alagos interview is March 30th at 7:30 am Friday, Filipino time (Manila). This will be 3:30 pm Thursday Pacific Time, your time.
I WILL SEND YOUR FIRST REMINDER MARCH 21ST.
Thank you my friends for your kind attention to this. I am excited to see you all and introduce Pastor Alejo Alagos to you, River Rock Church, and Imbler Christian Church. We hope to have the process of the Philippine government to recognize RRC in the Philippines under way and maybe completed by the time we arrive April 16th. Church number 5, RRC Igsoro, is in the planning stage now. Once we are recognized by the Philippine Government we have a dozen independent churches that have asked to join us. Your prayers and guidance is well needed for us here.
***We currently have speaking engagements at RRC and Imbler Christian Church. If you would like to meet with us or have us give a presentation at your Church please let me know.
May our Lord continue to bless us all,
Steve Bragg
