BIBLE WORK

   Each of the services PAMAS provides is a witness for God in its own way, but oh how thankful we are for our six full-time Bible Workers! They are active and earnest in opening the work in uninterred areas and committed to supporting the thirteen church plants previously started. These individuals are a vital link in God’s growing ministry here on the island of Palawan.

   Our Bible workers live and work in their respective fields. Even though they are not ordained pastors they continually carry on the work of elders in their locality by leading the congregations, holding revival and evangelistic series, and organizing training seminars, community service, youth fellowships, and family retreats to create strong bonds among the members. They, along with their families, are the backbone of each established church congregation.

   Now, more than ever before, church members are being taught to use simple natural remedies and agriculture to sustain and care for their families and minister to their communities. To promote total member involvement and encourage the church members themselves to experience the joy of evangelism, the Bible workers seek to make the stories and teachings of the Bible simple, understandable, and easy to share. This is essential because the more active the church members, the stronger and healthier the church.

   The harvest is truly great and those who are willing to labor full-time for souls are few. Even though we have seen up to 150 baptisms in a year, this is still a small harvest in comparison to the number of souls around us who have yet to hear the gospel. Please pray for our Bible Workers who are carrying on their work in the lowlands and into the surrounding mountains, and for our teachers who sustain our jungle school churches. Each is a lifeline to the communities in which they live and work. If you feel moved to get involved in or to support this special work, please contact us.

Thank you.
