Jan-Mar-18

In part 5 of this series on the Scenario of Events we learned in Event #17 that each of the 7 last plagues fall in succession upon the wicked and devastate different parts of the earth, but the first 6 plagues are not universal upon all. The 144,000 living saints have fled for their lives into the uninhabited wilderness. Some are alone; some are captured and in jail, while others have gathered together in little companies, and some have even been led by angels into safe mountain retreats.

But all the 144,000 plead earnestly to God day and night for deliverance while their faith and trust in God is steadily being increased. Yet they are not left to struggle all alone and without help, because Christ Himself encourages them with His own lovely voice to not be afraid, but to continue holding steadfast because He is with them to help them, and in His name they will become more than conquerors! But whether alone, or in company with others; whether surrounded by their enemies, or in jail awaiting execution, angels that excel in strength are protecting them and not a single one of the 144,000 will be killed, but they all will remain alive patiently waiting for their God to deliver them.

“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” Revelation 16:17-21.

“...there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:1-3.

“When the protection of human laws shall be withdrawn from those who honor the law of God, there will be, in different lands, a simultaneous movement for their destruction. As the time appointed in the decree draws near, the people will conspire to root out the hated sect. It will be determined to strike in one night a decisive blow, which shall utterly silence the voice of dissent and reproof.

“The people of God--some in prison cells, some hidden in solitary retreats in the forests and the mountains--still plead for divine protection, while in every quarter companies of armed men, urged on by hosts of evil angels, are preparing for the work of death. It is now, in the hour of utmost extremity, that the God of Israel will interpose for the deliverance of His chosen....

“With shouts of triumph, jeering, and imprecation, throngs of evil men are about to rush upon their prey, when, lo, a dense blackness, deeper than the darkness of the night, falls upon the earth. Then a rainbow, shining with the glory from the throne of God, spans the heavens and seems to encircle each praying company. The angry multitudes are suddenly arrested. Their mocking cries die away. The objects of their murderous rage are forgotten. With fearful forebodings they gaze upon the symbol of God's covenant and long to be shielded from its overpowering brightness.

“By the people of God a voice, clear and melodious, is heard, saying, "Look up," and lifting their eyes to the heavens, they behold the bow of promise. The black, angry clouds that covered the firmament are parted, and like Stephen they look up steadfastly into heaven and see the glory of God and the Son of man seated upon His throne. In His divine form they discern the marks of His humiliation; and from His lips they hear the request presented before His Father and the holy angels: "I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am." John 17:24. Again a voice, musical and triumphant, is heard, saying: "They come! they come! holy, harmless, and undefiled. They have kept the word of My patience; they shall walk among the angels;" and the pale, quivering lips of those who have held fast their faith utter a shout of victory.

“It is at midnight that God manifests His power for the deliverance of His people. The sun appears, shining in its strength. Signs and wonders follow in quick succession. The wicked look with terror and amazement upon the scene, while the righteous behold with solemn joy the tokens of their deliverance. Everything in nature seems turned out of its course. The streams cease to flow. Dark, heavy clouds come up and clash against each other. In the midst of the angry heavens is one clear space of indescribable glory, whence comes the voice of God like the sound of many waters, saying: "It is done." Revelation 16:17.

“That voice shakes the heavens and the earth. There is a mighty earthquake, "such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." Verses 17, 18. The firmament appears to open and shut. The glory from the throne of God seems flashing through. The mountains shake like a reed in the wind, and ragged rocks are scattered on every side. There is a roar as of a coming tempest. The sea is lashed into fury. There is heard the shriek of a hurricane like the voice of demons upon a mission of destruction. The whole earth heaves and swells like the waves of the sea. Its surface is breaking up. Its very foundations seem to be giving way. Mountain chains are sinking. Inhabited islands disappear. The seaports that have become like Sodom for wickedness are swallowed up by the angry waters. Babylon the great has come in remembrance before God, "to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath." Great hailstones, every one "about the weight of a talent," are doing their work of destruction. Verses 19, 21. The proudest cities of the earth are laid low. The lordly palaces, upon which the world's great men have lavished their wealth in order to glorify themselves, are crumbling to ruin before their eyes. Prison walls are rent asunder, and God's people, who have been held in bondage for their faith, are set free.

“Graves are opened, and "many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth. . . awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." Daniel 12:2. All who have died in the faith of the third angel's message come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear God's covenant of peace with those who have kept His law. "They also which pierced Him" (Revelation 1:7), those that mocked and derided Christ's dying agonies, and the most violent opposers of His truth and His people, are raised to behold Him in His glory and to see the honor placed upon the loyal and obedient.

“Thick clouds still cover the sky; yet the sun now and then breaks through, appearing like the avenging eye of Jehovah. Fierce lightnings leap from the heavens, enveloping the earth in a sheet of flame. Above the terrific roar of thunder, voices, mysterious and awful, declare the doom of the wicked. The words spoken are not comprehended by all; but they are distinctly understood by the false teachers. Those who a little before were so reckless, so boastful and defiant, so exultant in their cruelty to God's commandment-keeping people, are now overwhelmed with consternation and shuddering in fear. Their wails are heard above the sound of the elements. Demons acknowledge the deity of Christ and tremble before His power, while men are supplicating for mercy and groveling in abject terror....

“Through a rift in the clouds there beams a star whose brilliancy is increased fourfold in contrast with the darkness. It speaks hope and joy to the faithful, but severity and wrath to the transgressors of God's law. Those who have sacrificed all for Christ are now secure, hidden as in the secret of the Lord's pavilion. They have been tested, and before the world and the despisers of truth they have evinced their fidelity to Him who died for them. A marvelous change has come over those who have held fast their integrity in the very face of death. They have been suddenly delivered from the dark and terrible tyranny of men transformed to demons. Their faces, so lately pale, anxious, and haggard, are now aglow with wonder, faith, and love. Their voices rise in triumphant song: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." Psalm 46:1-3.

“While these words of holy trust ascend to God, the clouds sweep back, and the starry heavens are seen, unspeakably glorious in contrast with the black and angry firmament on either side. The glory of the celestial city streams from the gates ajar. Then there appears against the sky a hand holding two tables of stone folded together. Says the prophet: "The heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God is judge Himself." Psalm 50:6. That holy law, God's righteousness, that amid thunder and flame was proclaimed from Sinai as the guide of life, is now revealed to men as the rule of judgment. The hand opens the tables, and there are seen the precepts of the Decalogue, traced as with a pen of fire. The words are so plain that all can read them. Memory is aroused, the darkness of superstition and heresy is swept from every mind, and God's ten words, brief, comprehensive, and authoritative, are presented to the view of all the inhabitants of the earth.

“It is impossible to describe the horror and despair of those who have trampled upon God's holy requirements. The Lord gave them His law; they might have compared their characters with it and learned their defects while there was yet opportunity for repentance and reform; but in order to secure the favor of the world, they set aside its precepts and taught others to transgress. They have endeavored to compel God's people to profane His Sabbath. Now they are condemned by that law which they have despised. With awful distinctness they see that they are without excuse. They chose whom they would serve and worship....

“The enemies of God's law, from the ministers down to the least among them, have a new conception of truth and duty. Too late they see that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment is the seal of the living God. Too late they see the true nature of their spurious sabbath and the sandy foundation upon which they have been building. They find that they have been fighting against God. Religious teachers have led souls to perdition while professing to guide them to the gates of Paradise. Not until the day of final accounts will it be known how great is the responsibility of men in holy office and how terrible are the results of their unfaithfulness. Only in eternity can we rightly estimate the loss of a single soul. Fearful will be the doom of him to whom God shall say: Depart, thou wicked servant.

“The voice of God is heard from heaven, declaring the day and hour of Jesus' coming, and delivering the everlasting covenant to His people. Like peals of loudest thunder His words roll through the earth. The Israel of God stand listening, with their eyes fixed upward. Their countenances are lighted up with His glory, and shine as did the face of Moses when he came down from Sinai. The wicked cannot look upon them. And when the blessing is pronounced on those who have honored God by keeping His Sabbath holy, there is a mighty shout of victory.” Great Controversy, p 635-640.

“The powers of heaven are the sun, moon, and stars. They rule in the heavens. The powers of earth are those that rule on the earth. The powers of heaven will be shaken at the voice of God. Then the sun, moon, and stars will be moved out of their places. They will not pass away, but be shaken by the voice of God.

So then where is heaven located? Since we are told that the voice of God was heard coming out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, and are also told that His voice was heard coming out from the open space in Orion, then this means that the way to heaven is through this open space in the Orion constellation!

This open space nebula is ginormous - being approximately 24 light years across. Now light travels about 186,000 miles/sec, and thus light would travel 5,878,499,810,000 miles in a year. So then 5.87 trillion miles times 24 ly would mean that this open space is some 140.88 trillion miles across! And this open space nebula in Orion is located some 1,400 ly from earth, or about 8.21 quadrillion miles away. So the very moment God declared “IT IS DONE” from His throne in heaven, His voice was immediately heard on this earth by the 144,000! Which means that God’s voice traveled some 8.21 quadrillion miles in an instant!

“The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses' did when he came down from Mount Sinai....At our happy, holy state the wicked were enraged, and would rush violently up to lay hands on us to thrust us into prison, when we would stretch forth the hand in the name of the Lord, and they would fall helpless to the ground. Then it was that the synagogue of Satan knew that God had loved us who could wash one another's feet and salute the brethren with a holy kiss, and they worshiped at our feet.” Early Writings, p 14-15.

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from My God: and I will write upon him My new name.” Revelation 3:7-12.

“These plagues enraged the wicked against the righteous; they thought that we had brought the judgments of God upon them, and that if they could rid the earth of us, the plagues would then be stayed. A decree went forth to slay the saints, which caused them to cry day and night for deliverance. This was the time of Jacob's trouble. Then all the saints cried out with anguish of spirit, and were delivered by the voice of God. The 144,000 triumphed. Their faces were lighted up with the glory of God. Then I was shown a company who were howling in agony. On their garments was written in large characters, "Thou art weighed in the balance, and found wanting." I asked who this company were. The angel said, "These are they who have once kept the Sabbath and have given it up." I heard them cry with a loud voice, "We have believed in Thy coming, and taught it with energy." And while they were speaking, their eyes would fall upon their garments and see the writing, and then they would wail aloud. I saw that they had drunk of the deep waters, and fouled the residue with their feet--trodden the Sabbath underfoot-- and that was why they were weighed in the balance and found wanting.” Early Writings, p 36-37.

“You think, that those who worship before the saint's feet, (Revelation 3:9), will at last be saved. Here I must differ with you; for God shew me that this class were professed Adventists, who had fallen away, and "crucified to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." And in the "hour of temptation," which is yet to come, to show out every one's true character, they will know that they are forever lost; and overwhelmed with anguish of spirit, they will bow at the saint's feet.” A Word to the Little Flock, p 12.

So who makes up this Synagogue of Satan? It is composed of professed Adventists who had once kept the Sabbath, but then had given it up, and it includes priests, ministers, pastors and evangelists who were very instrumental in leading people away from following the present truth and from keeping God’s seventh-day Sabbath holy. So those composing this Synagogue of Satan are not just ordinary wicked people, but they are made up of those who had given up the greatest truths ever committed to mankind, as well as the most influential who led people away from following God’s last message of mercy.

“I saw that the priests who are leading on their flock to death are soon to be arrested in their dreadful career. The plagues of God are coming, but it will not be sufficient for the false shepherds to be tormented with one or two of these plagues. God's hand at that time will be stretched out still in wrath and justice and will not be brought to Himself again until His purposes are fully accomplished, and the hireling priests are led to worship at the feet of the saints, and to acknowledge that God has loved them because they held fast the truth and kept God's commandments, and until all the unrighteous ones are destroyed from the earth.” Early Writings, p 124.

“Many of the wicked were greatly enraged as they suffered the effects of the plagues. It was a scene of fearful agony. Parents were bitterly reproaching their children, and children their parents, brothers their sisters, and sisters their brothers. Loud, wailing cries were heard in every direction, "It was you who kept me from receiving the truth which would have saved me from this awful hour." The people turned upon their ministers with bitter hate and reproached them, saying, "You have not warned us. You told us that all the world was to be converted, and cried, Peace, peace, to quiet every fear that was aroused. You have not told us of this hour; and those who warned us of it you declared to be fanatics and evil men, who would ruin us." But I saw that the ministers did not escape the wrath of God. Their suffering was tenfold greater than that of their people.” Early Writings, p 282.

“And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” Luke 12:47-48.

Now even though we have seen a lot of amazing and miraculous things which happen during this seventh plague, yet there is still more to occur! So then what happens after the Synagogue of Satan has worshipped at the saints feet? And also, how long of a period of time does it take for all these plagues to fall upon and destroy the wicked and the earth? This is what we will discover in our next Newsletter.

For many years it was my written position that the majority of the pioneers of Adventism believed that the King of the North was the papacy. However, further research into their writings has clearly revealed that this was not the case at all. Those who did believe the King of the North to be the papacy were few in number, and in no way made up the majority. I sincerely apologize for making this erroneous statement as far back as 1996, and for unintentionally misleading our readers due to my mistake. I humbly ask for your forgiveness. I also pray that you will take the time to prayerfully study into this important topic on the King of the North. For an excellent and well documented study on the Pioneers’ beliefs on the King of the North, as well as who it represents, please visit www.inlightofprophecyfulfilled.org - and you will not be disappointed!

After many years of research, we have finally released much of our amazing discovery regarding ancient Babylon. You can find this research on our website under Babylon (actual link: http://www.lightministries.com/id955.htm). You will not believe how much of Babylon is still alive in the world today in culture, beliefs, and practices! May God help all of His people to be wide awake and to escape from Babylon wherever it is found!

"Let There Be Light" Ministries is committed to the spreading of the full present truth gospel message worldwide, and has been doing so since 1986. This Ministry has operating expenses covering the areas of: printing, publishing, and writing of present truth books, booklets, tracts, and other literature; DVD, video and audio taping, production, and distribution; supporting several ministers and workers in foreign Countries; mail order – both domestic and foreign; traveling to hold meetings – both locally, nationally, and internationally; answering correspondence and questions regarding the message of truth; offering National and International Bible studies; sending free present truth literature to contacts in many poor Countries; etc.

May our God and Saviour continue to lead and guide all those who have helped us reach souls who sit in darkness with the precious light of gospel truth. May our supporters remember that they share in each and every soul who has been reached by this Ministry and converted to the Lord and His present truth!

We are currently supporting several workers in many different Countries on a monthly basis. We check into the economy of each area and supply a base support which is adequate depending on their situation, but not extravagant. This base support is to ensure that the monthly needs of each worker and family is met for that month so that the worker may devote full time to the ministry work. In addition to this, we are sending extra materials for evangelism, and money for printing, publishing, holding meetings, traveling, and other necessary areas in spreading the Present Truth in their Country. And as the work extends, especially will the expenses for evangelism expand. Whatever you can send to help in this necessary and vital area is greatly appreciated.

The work of spreading God's present truth is not to be limited, but must extend world-wide to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people before our Saviour can come (Matthew 24:14). What better way of spreading the Present Truth Gospel than by having workers who speak the native language, who reside in that particular Country, who can live and preach the truth, visit the interests in their homes, and spread the printed truth translated into their native language!

"Our publications should be printed in other languages, that foreign nations may be reached. Much can be done through the medium of the press, but still more can be accomplished if the influence of the living preacher goes with our publications....The Lord has moved upon men of other tongues and has brought them under the influence of the truth, that they might be qualified to labor in His cause." Testimonies, vol 3, p 204-205.

"Every opportunity should be improved to extend the truth to other nations. This will be attended with considerable expense, but expense should in no case hinder the performance of this work. Means are of value only as they are used to advance the interest of the kingdom of God. The Lord has lent men means for this very purpose, to use in sending the truth to their fellow men." Testimonies, vol 3, p 208.

Please be sure to mark all donated monies for any of the above Ministry or Foreign Mission needs. 100% of all donated monies will go where specified. Unspecified donations will go where needed. Thank you very much for making this evangelistic work possible, and may God's richest blessings attend you and yours.

Greetings and prayers for you and your family, your ministry....My family and I would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation and thanks for the kindness and the sacrifices for running your online messages that’s encouraging many. I want to say God is using your messages to reach out to the world and I am blessed. I will continue sharing your messages as long as I am able to make copies. The Bible says, But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, 1 Thessalonians 5:12.

I am a servant of God by His grace. I am 35 years of aged and 18 years serving God now. We have planted three Churches but still in tent, (or) school hall, and we have made shed for worshiping God...where people just gathered within the week and worship the Lord. We have many people in our Churches and love holding Crusades, street outreach, (visiting) hospitals, house to house and schools.

Recently I went for a Crusade mission and about 124 gave their lives; but when was still there I received a phone called (that) my daughter of two years old is very sick. I came back after two days, and she was taken to Clinic and she was getting treatment, but no change. Five days later, she could not eat food, not taking anything.

Then we took her to a bigger hospital where she was checked or tested and found out that she was on wrong medication which turned poisoned, and again she was bitten by snake, her left leg swollen. Her breath and eyes had already changed just at the point of death, everyone saying she will die, my wife was already crying, but God is good. I had nothing to say, but in my heart I was like God remember how I have been serving you. I do not know what happened, but I was led to your website. I had my phone in my hand and reading your messages, and declaring (that) I saw her coming back to life. Doctor took her straight to oxygen. Today she is very fine and eating, smiling and now playing. God is good, and thank you Pastor for the sacrifice to run your messages and for maintaining your website.

Thanks you once again and cover us in prayers...I know my child was healed by God, and they (hospital staff) first refused to work on her, but after prayers, when she gained strength, reading your messages with a loud voice I saw her coming back and after they took her to oxygen. But I thank God also for the Hospital....

Below is a copy of the letter from SDA church (acknowledging my membership removal) to God's glory only....Of utmost importance are prayers for the Lord 's Holy Spirit to be with me ALWAYS; to build my soul upon Him - The Rock (Bible -n- Spirit of Prophecy); to (not) take my salvation lightly; to bring family members, friends, church members, neighbours, etc etc to Him. For those souls who I bring to the Lord, for each soul to have auhentic relationships with God. And, for the souls NOT TO BE DECEIVED, but to know how to fight for their salvation through Jesus, etc. etc. Lord to be with me, souls which are laid on Thy Altar; and each church member of the Remnant Church (Light Ministries and abroad) to be with each one to the end. Let each of us fight the good fight and receive Thy crown of glory.

We proceeded to western for an end year camp from 17th through 24th December. Brother ____ from Uganda joined and ministered with us. In the afternoons we had camp outreach to a nearby market to share with them God's blessings. At the end a total of nine souls committed themselves to the Lord in baptism. Glory be to the Lord.

As the year comes to an end I take this time to thank the Lord who has brought us this far. Ebenezer! It was a year of many uncertainties especially with our prolonged election period, but He that seeth the end from the beginning has brought us to port safely. This gives more courage even as approach the new year.

Though we have long seen it normal for years to come and go, things might never be the same for ever. One time too soon Jesus is coming and history will take another course. We are admonished "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants." Lk. 12:35-8.

We have a very aggressive evangelism and missionary travel since 2017. Actually we just arrived today from a very long travel and we will be leaving again tomorrow for another missionary work. You know bro Bob, our work here is very fruitful through the help and guidance of our Lord. Many new converts are now added in the church especially in ____ city, where a lot of brethren separated already from the SDA church, including their elders and leaders inside the church. And also a faithful SDA member who is a ____, now listened to our messages and got interested to it. As of now we had a lot of calling and schedules to speak in different places and we are so busy. Also we are laboring to be united with the other group of believers in the present truth, and hopefully that God will bless all this effort so that we will answer Christ's prayer in John 17, and we will be united in proclaiming the truth.

As of now brother Bob, we are establishing in the truth our newly raise church in ____ and still looking for more souls to win to Christ. We have several schedule of medical mission in ____ from this month till March. On last week of March, there will be having a Youth Camp. On April 15-21, we will be doing evangelistic effort, and on April 22-28 is our National Camp Meeting. On May, we will be preparing for the building of training school for our young people. Hopefully we will start the training in June. We will train and teach them in gospel line, medical line, music and different skills like farming, carpentry and many more.

The Lord is blessing us (with) a lot of work in His vineyard and we pray that we may fulfill all of this duty. God’s field is really ripe for harvest, and we need to do this work zealously and aggressively. Christ is soon to come. We are soliciting your prayers and help for the accomplishment of all this work. We can’t do it by ourselves bro Bob, that's why we bring with us several young people that are trained already in missionary work to help us in all our work, and we are giving them allowance too for their needs. So please don’t forget us in your prayers....

We just came home today from our missionary work, and thank God that He continuously protected and guided us in all our travel and work. We were just so busy with our work and had continuous travel although very tiring but satisfying as you know that you are fulfilling what God has bid us and as you see the people blessed by your presence and the truth.

We just visited our brethren in ____ Island, and spent our Sabbath with them. We just also visited our brethren in ____, for we have a regular speaking engagement there in their church every third Sabbath of the month, and after in ____, we went directly to ____ for the meeting with the other group of believers there. Before we went to ____, we just also came from ____ where we almost stayed there because of the new field and new brethren that God open for us. We were also busy in visiting and encouraging our new brethren from different places and even those old brethren here.

We thank the Lord bro Bob, because for almost half a year the Lord has given us a car to use for our missionary work. Our brother in Christ here allowed us to rent his car for 2,000 pesos (about $40 US) a month, and it was a great blessing for us because we were able to use it for God's work and it becomes easier for us to travel since we bring a lot of things we used for our missionary work and also we bring some young people with us to help us in our work. But sad to say bro Bob that we need to return it to the owner now because they needed it already. We pray that the Lord will give us another car to be used for His work. And you know bro Bob, God immediately answered. One of our brethren in ____ pledge that he will give us 25,000 pesos (about $480 US) to buy a car. But you know bro bob that it is not enough. If we could raise at least 150,000 pesos (about $2900 US), we can buy one even a second hand car so that we can do fastest God's work. So please include this also in your prayers that the Lord will provide this for us in His time and according to His will....

I have taken so long before giving you an update regarding the trip I took to ____. I had hardly finished celebrating the brand new year than on the 2nd of January 2018 I left home for a visit to find an opportunity of spreading the present truth to ____ and his colleagues at their newly established sanitarium.

I passed through the ____ home church where I had a night rest with the brethren. I then continued the trip the following day and arrived almost sunset. I was warmly received by ____ and was later introduced to 6 others of his staff and two patients at that time. We did not have much to discuss but we thought we would do so tomorrow....

I was not given an opportunity to present to the church some points of the present truth probably for fear that I was not a member of the conference SDA church. Of their two patients one old man was suffering from nerve cancer was in a critical condition while the other a middle aged lady who was suffering from stroke was fairly better. I enjoyed my time being at an environment clothed with beautiful nature for the 1st time in my life. But my mission was hardly accomplished.

The whole (Sabbath) day we became fully occupied until around 22:00hrs. Tired and worn up that is when I had some few minutes of talking to ____ about the present truth. I had carried with me some few booklets which I left with him. I am praying the Lord will take the work into His own hands. I then left Sunday morning back home.
