Agape Ministries Press Mission

92 Alapang Proper, La Trinidad

Benguet, Philippines

Sir/Madam:

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

The Center for Community Transformation, Community Fellowship Incorporated (CCT-CFI San Jose) members are really thankful to your ministry for the Sunday school materials that you have given to us last March 28, 2019 at Wesleyan Bible School here in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. It is a great help for the Children Ministry, especially to me as their Sunday school teacher. I’ve learned a lot during the seminar and through your teachings, once again, God opened my heart and made me realized the importance of being a Spirit filled teacher than depending on my abilities. I also understood that being a college student or being busy with other things is not an excuse to the Lord when it comes in Lesson Planning. God used your ministry to remind me the reason why I love and choose to teach children, not only to remind, but also to appreciate this wonderful God given ministry. Because I am also a product of a Sunday school, and even though I tried to run away from God, He never stops loving me. Now, I am blessed that God is using me mightily in this ministry and I really loved it!

We pray that God will continue to bless Agape Ministries Press Mission and to always guide your ministry so that you will reach other small churches nationwide and be a blessing to them. We really appreciate your obedience to the Lord for giving us your time and effort to come here all the way from Benguet.

Thank you for inspiring us! ☺ May the Lord God bless you more and more.

Very truly yours,

Jemimah C. Aban

Attached are the pictures taken during our Sunday school last April 7, 2019:

Unfortunately, we don’t have yet a classroom for them. That’s why I am teaching the kids outside the church building. And it is hard to catch the children’s attention because we are in an open area. But God is good! Because with the use of my personalized Flannel Board (which I’ve learned during the seminar) God helped me to teach His words mightily and all of them listened attentively. To God be the Glory!

But after the Bible story, we noticed that there is a bee hive on the tree. I decided to transfer the children into a small space in front of the church

God really showed me that if I will take seriously the Children’s Ministry . . . He will definitely bless the children and the ministry itself. Glory to God! Because right after the Sunday service, the owner of this house (who were also a church member) talk to us that she and her husband is willing to lend a part of their land where they will build a small nipa hut to be used as classroom for the children ministry every Sunday. So that the children will be comfortable during Sunday school lessons and they will be safe. God is really amazing! J

Again, our Pastor and I would like to express our gratitude in your ministry for being a God’s instrument in empowering small churches like us. We will continue to pray for Agape Ministries Press Mission as you also continue to pray for us. The whole Children Ministry is expressing our thanks to all of you. To God be all the Glory!
