“We may attain unto glory and virtue, though weak, sinful mortals, by learning daily lessons in the school of Christ, by becoming conformed to the divine image, by manifesting His excellence of character, by adding grace to grace, by climbing round by round the ladder heavenward, by becoming complete in the Beloved. As we shall work upon the plan of addition, by faith adding grace to grace, God will work upon …
Update from the Field:Pastor Greg Caburog Story I was raised as a Roman Catholic in Sitio Canlagus Don Esperedion Villegas Vallehermoso, Negros Oriental.

“If the followers of Christ were awake to duty, there would be thousands where there is one today, proclaiming the gospel in heathen lands. And all who could not personally engage in the work, would yet sustain it with their means, their sympathy, and their prayers.

The last day of 2008 saw us in Mangalore, India which is in the state of Karnataka west of Salem. We had been planning to visit the brethren there for very many years, but just could not find the opportunity to do so. The opportunity presented itself because of the marriage of one of our old friends from Kuwait. Their daughter was to be married on the 30th of December. “It is a …

The world is full of men and women who are carrying a heavy burden of sorrow, suffering and sin. God sends His children to reveal to them the One who will take away their burdens and give them …
We have been praying for more ways to reach people more quickly and effectively. One idea was to reach thousands of homes and business with “under-the-door” printed literature and since our small group of believers cannot do all the work, and we know that time is short and we have little time left to finish the work, we began praying about a way to distribute the literature quickly.
