$100 PER MONTH WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR PASTOR AND FAMILY

Thank you for our love and generosity for our ministry here in the Philippines.

We are continuing to look for support for our River Rock Church Philippines’ Pastors and their families.

$100 PER MONTH PROVIDES SUPPORT that makes the difference for them to feed and provide basic needs for their families.

Two life groups and a church have committed to provide financial support for one pastor each… What a great blessing!!! Thank you Lord!!!

We are now supporting:

1.       Pastor Stephen, wife Sarah and their 4 children of the Santa Lourdes Church in Palawan.

 

 

2.      Pastor JR, wife Edralyn and son Kent of the Hill of Zion Church in Macarina.

 

 

3.      Pastor JoJo and wife Gigi and their son Jabez of the Esparar Church in Esparar.

 

We are now looking for support for Pastor Billy Aclo and his wife Linda and their 5 children of the Sugnod Church in Sugnod.

$100 PER MONTH WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR PASTOR AND FAMILY.

Maybe you or your life Group or church will provide the ongoing financial support.

Will you support Pastor Billy, wife Linda and 5 their children? Pastor Billy is also the Pastor of Jesus Christ Worship Center in Sipac, Malinao, Aklan. This Barangay adjoins the Sugnod Barangay. Pastor Billy is the pastor of both churches. They have a dynamic ministry for both churches.

 

Thank you for your prayers, generosity and love for the Filipinos.

 

Please contact me at steve.bragg123@gmail.com if you wish to support Pastor Billy and his family.

Starting the Lord's Church at Barangay Magarang

Attending were 20 adults and 40 children. Sis Henemia has broken the ground in establishing a congregation. This is where Sis Henemia grew up. This was Pastor Alagos and I first time there to visit the growing church. We both were moved and felt the presence of the Lord in this work. Lord willing, this will be our next new church plant. Pastor Alagos is now committed to preaching there every Saturday. Pray we get funded for this work soon.

A CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS

My Dear Grace Chapel Partners - RRCP

We minister God’s love in one of the most needful places in the world. In fact this province is considered one of the poorest in the Philippines. Many of the children at the we churches we start have little to wear. My heart cries seeing them with big holes in their clothes. Some children only have a shirt to wear with no underclothes. Some only have underclothes to wear.

Some loving and generous people from River Rock Church donated a large box of clothes for some special children just in time for Christmas here at Grace Chapel. Thank you all. What a great blessings!

Would you like to send us some good used clothes for our children? We need summer clothing. It’s hot all year here.

You can contact me at steve.bragg123@gmail.com I will tell you how to get the clothes here.

Merry Christmas!

Pastor Steve Bragg

A LIST OF MINISTRIES YOU CAN SUPPORT

Pastor Kelly Backstrom sharing the Gospel at Mabasa

The year-end is approaching, and many will be considering their favorite charity. I pray you will consider us, and support one of our ministries.

 

When you designate your gift, just let me know at steve.bragg123@gmail.com  I will get your gift to your designated ministry. If your gift is a general gift, its primary use is planting new churches and/or a necessary need that may arise.

 

Starting a New Church: Our primary ministry is planting new churches in a remote area of the Philippines where there is no other Christian church. Its total cost including launching the church, building a church building and parsonage, and 1 year salary for the pastor is $5,800.

 

Adopt a Pastor and Family: After the first year salary, the pastor and family still need financial support. $100 per month, $1,200 per year will support and pastor and his family. They serve the most remote and poorest of areas.

 

Student Scholarship: $25 per month makes the difference of allowing a high school student to complete school.

 

Travel and food Allowance for Bible College Students. Our Bible college students get free education from Asian Theological Seminary on the island of Boracay. We provide their travel and food allowance, monthly, to and from for only $25 per month. These are students with a heart to serve. Many of our pastors also attend for continuing education. Without the help of a travel and food allowance, most would not be able to attend.

 

Child and Care Ministry: This is an emergency fund used to help children in distress. Sometimes we help with medical, or food, or housing.

 

River of Love Christian Radio Program: Pastor Alejo Alagos, our very own evangelist, has a popular Christian radio program. It’s on once a week and reaches one third of the Philippines. Our hope and prayer is to reach all of the Philippines with the gospel through this ministry.

 

I pray our Lord has prepared your heart to help in this blessed ministry.

ADOPT A PASTOR AND FAMILY

Steve, Alejo, JiJi, JoJo, Kelly

My Dear Grace Chapel Partners RRCP,

 

ADOPTED A PASTOR AND HIS FAMILY MINISTRY FOR ONLY $100 PER MONTH.

 

As you know, we are planting new churches at as amazing pace. I believe this could not be done without our Lord’s blessing. This past year we have planted 5 new churches.

 

Many have helped in the funding of these churches. Built into the funding of our churches is the pastor’s first year salary. Our plan was that, within that year, the church would become self-sufficient. However, we are planting churches in the most remote and poorest areas of the Philippines. Our pastors need more help than just the first year of support for himself and his family.

 

As a result, my heart is to start the Adopted a Pastor and His Family Ministry.

 

$100 PER MONTH WILL SUPPLY A SALARY ABLE TO SUPPORT A PASTOR AND HIS FAMILY.

 

Pastor Gaudencio Valdez Jr. (JoJo) his wife Conception (JiJi) and their 5 year son Jabez the first family you can adopt.

 

They will be moving to one of our new churches at Esparar. They are moving by faith. Their prayer was to locate to Esparar because they have family there. We are praying to start building the church and parsonage by March 2013. Pastor JoJo has 6 years’ experience as an evangelist and pastor. Sister JiJi is an experienced worship leader. Please pray for their success in ministering to the people of Barangay Esparar.

 

Please let me know if you will adopt this pastor and family.

 

Your Partner in this ministry to the Filipino people.
