Dear Bro. Mike and Saints in the Holy Family:

Christian greetings and warm love in the precious Name of Jesus Christ our Lord from Philippine Islands. Trust this finds you well in good health and strength both body and soul fervently advancing His kingdom and Cause.

I want to let you know that I have just arrived home from the series of revival meetings from the Provinces of Pangasinan and Isabela with great victory and success. John said “(watching) and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die:..(Rev. 3:2). Further, one song said, “Oh, tell what He’s done for you, of His love so strong and true; Oh tell what He’s done, what He’s done for you; others may need Him, too.” As a result of those successive revival meetings in different provinces, I am very happy to inform you that there were many precious souls who got saved, backsliders were restored back to Christ, while the saints were greatly inspired and encouraged, fully determined to yield their entire being in following the Lord. Praise the Lord!

After two days in the city of Manila, I went back to Burgos where the campground in the Northern parts of the Philippine Islands is located, that is thirteen hours drive from the city and where the church construction site is located. I spent another one week working with the ministers on the finishing touches of the roof. Thank you most sincerely for your prayers, love, vision, interest, and your fraternal participation and involvement in the task we are doing for the Lord in this side of eternity. May these simple words of gratitude reveal our warm love and best wishes to you. Again, we want to say a “Big Thank You” for everything. May God reward you abundantly and openly is our sincere prayers for you.

While all the ministers are happily working together in finishing the roofing of our church building, to our great surprise; three big trucks loaded with one thousand five hundred hollow blocks arrived from unknown givers and donors. At first, I refused to accept those gifts because we do not know the consequences if we accept them, but the drivers and their helpers strongly insist of giving those hollow blocks letting us know that God touched and blessed the donors and that they heartily and purposely offered those hollow blocks unto the Lord. Further, they said that they found out that the church of God is worthy of their support. Praise His wonderful Name! What a mighty God we serve!

Now, we are earnestly praying that God will continue to touch those whom God had abundantly blessed with material blessings to provide the needs for the completion of the house of worship and prayer for His gory and honor. To be able to lay those hollow blocks provided for the walling, we are earnestly praying for the following items: sand and gravels, cements, re-bars, tie wire, additional hollow blocks, etc., and the estimate cost for the walling as of this time amounts to Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) excluding Iron Bars, Doors and Window Jambs and Shutters. Please continue to remember us in your prayer list and in always that we may be able to accomplish this most worthy project for His glory and honor in His own rightful time.

We are again presently scheduled to hold another revival meetings in the city of Manila dated June 22-29, 2008. We covet your continuous prayerful support that God will continue to use us in a very especial way to win more souls for Christ before it would be too late. Solomon of Old said in his proverbs “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise” (Prov. 11:30).

Well so long, may God richly bless all your efforts for Him. Please extent our warm love and best wishes to all the dear saints there.

Sincerely in His dear Cause:

Brother Granil
