A LITTLE HELP NEEDED

It is a humbling occasion when we need to ask for help. Although, I understand because we are a mission outreach request are a part of the mission, still, it humbles me immensely. That is why you are all truly partners in this ministry.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

We have three financial needs at this time.

1.      Personal support for the Bragg family to continue living and ministering in the Philippines. Due to our son Steven turning 16 our Social Security is reduced. We have been self-supporting until now.

We are in need monthly support. Maybe your church can help also. If you can help please contact me at steve@riverrockchurchphilippines.com

2.      This time of year has many extra ministries that need funding.

a.      October 27-29 is our Seventh Annual RRCP Convention. We bring the pastors and church leaders of both islands to the event. This year Pastor Joshua Williamson from Pacific Island Bible Church, HI will be our speaker and teacher. He will be teaching on how to preach Biblical Sermons - Homiletics.

$800 needed for transportation of the Palawan delegates.

$500 for food and venue.

b.      January 9-11 – This is a very special event to equip our pastors and leaders to study the Bible correctly.

President Dr. Derek Voorhees of Boise Bible College will be teaching a seminar of Biblical Interpretation. Again, we will bring both islands together for the seminar.

$2000 needed for this special and very much needed event to equip our pastors.

c.     Due to the natural flow of donors coming and going, our RRCP ministry balance is critically low.

If you can contribute a little extra at this time, it will help greatly. 

Thank you all for your generous support!

“And don't forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God” (Hebrews 13:16). 

Your partner in this ministry,

Palawan Report

August 8, 2017

Recently Pastor Alagos visited our churches on the island of Palawan.

Here are some highlights of the churches.

Bahile House Church

Barangày Bahile is almost 73km from Puerto Princesa City ànd along the way to Underground River. this barangay is composed of the mixed tribe like Agutaynen, Cuyonin at Palaweno. We have a house church here that was started 3 yrs ago with Pastor Prudencio and Oab. There is a couple here that ever-since the house churçh started dreaming to have a permanent structure for a plaçe of worship. Just 4months ago she discovered that the next lot to which they squat is àn abandoned lot with no owñer and it was a miracle that the govt. Awarded it to her, and now she needs to pay some amount by faith for the processing fee to own it. In her excitement, she stated a skeleton nipa hut for a place of worship for her family, relatives and people and tribes around for she promised that whatever blessings she might receive, the best portion will be given to God. I really amazed and knelt down in thanksgiviñg to God with such a great faith, hallelujah. AMEN!

      

                            

RRCP House Church Sitio Madahon of Buenavista Puerto Princesa, Palawan UP -dates!

Sitio Madahon is a Tribal area of Barangay Buenavista composing 3 tribes like Agutaynen and Cuyonin, this is composed of 20 houses and their livelihood is mostly fishing and mat making using native grass taken from the middle of the forest. RRCP house church was started here with Ptr Oab our Tribal Pastor from Buenavista and now the work was delegated to his daughter-in-Law Aina. They used to gather at the small nipa house and sometimes under the tree if no raiñ. There were 7 families regularly gathered here. Their faith and hunger for the word of God is incomparable and so inspiring. Please spend some time to pray for them and for the blessings that would meet their needs and salvation in the name of Jesus. Ameñ!
