Sabbath In Manila

On the Sabbath of December 27, Mr. Baker and I were picked up at the Hotel Manila by Mr. Ray Evasco and his wife, Cynthia. We arrived about an hour prior to services and had the chance to meet with some of the brethren. It really was a wonderful experience. As it turned out we had 99 in attendance that day. After a very wonderful Special Sabbath Music presentation, I was able to speak to the congregation. In addition to giving them greetings from their brethren in Dallas and Sherman, Texas...I was able remind them of the part they played in the larger body of the Church, and that we were truly, "all in this together" in terms of our working both to preach the gospel message of Jesus Christ to the world, and to grow and overcome in our effort to be in the Kingdom of God. After a wonderful potluck meal that afternoon, Mr. Baker and I caught a 7pm flight that evening for Bangkok, Thailand. ~ Doug Horchak
