Birth of a New Church in Padang

    

This is the beginning of our new church, we pray and Lord willing. We will start with twice a month feeding of children and worship service. Please pray for this new church in Jesus name.

We started the church by caring for its people. Poverty and malnutrition are great where we start our churches. Noodles, vegetables and chicken are the menu for today.

   

    

      

     

   

   

Can you help us with the children's feeding programs? $50 per month feeds children weekly for each church. 

Any monthly commitment will be greatly appreciated and used for the glory of God.

Thank you and blessings!

Your partner in ministry,

Pastor Steve Bragg

Clear Vision

HAPPY TO REPORT

Psalms 51:12  Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit.

As you may know I have been in a month of prayer and fasting seeking the Lord. Psalms 51:10-12 has been my focused prayer.

 I’m happy to report the past few days have been filled with restored confidence and faith in my Lord. I was like Peter when he began to walk on the sea and then took his eyes off the Lord and saw the storm in the wind and waves and he began to sink. My sabbatical month’s goal has been to see the Lord again in my life.

In the past few days, I have renewed my thinking and faith that this is His ministry; His responsibility; His harvest – Not Mine! I’m seeing myself again as a servant, not a leader. If it is not God Who shines through me, then it’s time to go home.

This Afternoon I Had A Wonderful Day Dream Or Maybe It Was A Vision.

I was setting by a swimming pool while our Grace Chapel youth group enjoyed themselves in the pool. Then suddenly it hit me that if Juliana and Steven and I were not here, there would be no youth group. The kids sang songs to our Lord and about His love and power in their lives as they swam. What a blessing!

Then, in my mind’s eye, I saw all the faces of the people that worship at Grace Chapel. These were fruits of this ministry. Then I saw the worshipers at Anini-y, Esparar, Calapadan, Mabasa, and Igbarawan. I saw each worship service and observed each person. They were smiling and singing to the Lord. Then I visioned all our churches and each person in them smiling, singing and worshiping our Lord.

What a wonderful blessing from our Lord – He was showing me how my live fits in His purpose. My life in not in vain. Thank you Lord.

This is why I was born – This why I’m here.

This Is Also One Of The Reasons For Your Life!

EACH OF YOU WITH YOUR LOVE, PRAYER AND SUPPORT HAVE MADE ALL THIS HAPPEN. 

- SO MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED

 – SO MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN CHANGED

 – SO MANY STORIES ABOUT PEOPLES LIVES HAVE BEEN WRITTEN WITH GLORY TO GOD.

Together with our Lord’s blessing we are making a difference!

Thank You Lord for this wonderful pleasure – Thank you all for this wonderful blessing!

Feeding Children

Hello Grace Chapel Ministries and RRCP Partners,

Thank you so very much for your support for all of our programs to love people in Jesus name. We do more than tell people about God’s love, we love them however we can.

We will be adding more weekly feeding programs for malnourished children. The feeding of children says significantly how much we love the community. It is not just talking about Jesus love, but demonstrating it.

Our churches are in the remote places of the Philippines where poverty is the extreme. We are not only feeding hungry children, but also teaching the parents how to care for their children. Teaching parents and children about hygiene makes big difference in the overall health.

It would seem strange to an American, but in one community by informing the parents they need to feed their children more than once day made a huge impact in the health of the children.

During worship one young girl praised our Lord that she got to eat twice that day. Really, I have heard this testimony many times. Each time I hear it, tears well up in my heart and eyes.

Lord willing and I pray with your continued support, we are praying to have feeding programs for each of our churches.

*We have 24 churches. Six of our churches have funded weekly feeding programs. We are feeding four more church communities by faith.

**$50 per month provides a weekly feeding program for the children for one church.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Please let me know if you have questions or comments.

Your partner in ministry to Filipinos.

Victory Christian Church

Victory Christian Church Sugnod Is Growing

Just recently we added a new pastor and family to our Victory Christian Church Sugnod in , Malinao, Aklan. Pastor Willer Jun, wife Dianne Manares and their two young boys.

                                                                      

Since that time the Sugnod church has grown and grown. Weekly I get reports of new studies, new members and baptisms.
In the past two weeks they have baptized 12 people – praise God!

                    

Thank you Lord!     

Happy Easter – Resurrection Day!

“He isn't here! He is risen from the dead!” (Luke 24:6 NLT)

We are a little short financially of meeting our monthly ministries at this time. If you can help we would be very grateful.

My prayers are with you all.

Blessings!

THANK YOU LORD!

"I believe it is a good time for such a message. For some it may spell all the difference between hope and despair. There are those who speak easily of stumbling and recovery and others who sternly bar the door against the recovery of full fellowship, complete trust and a genuine new beginning. … Who can tell the power of the cross better than one who has been driven there because they had nowhere else to go? Who can tell of homecoming and the kindness shown by the Father to the returning son? It's time they came home!" 
Brian Thompson

"Bragg says that God ultimately pulled him from living a life in sin and saved him out of his rebellion, thus restoring him completely to his ministry, now stationed in the Philippines. He hopes to encourage others who may be in the same struggle he once found himself. Bragg believes whole-heartedly that it is none other than the Lord God Almighty, through the power of the Holy Spirit who loves, rescues, and restores us from our fall."
