Pastor John Flores and elder Reden Zuniega (First Reformed Church of Bulacan) will be visiting the Protestant Reformed Fellowship in Albuera, Leyte (PRFA) this coming weekend, the Lord willing. They will be gone from Friday (September 20) through Tuesday (September 24). May the Lord keep them safe as they travel and give them an enjoyable and profitable time among our fellow believers in Albuera, using the time for the encouragement of the members of the PRFA there.

The next 7M pastors’ class is scheduled to meet on Monday, September 23 in Batasan Hills.

Rev. Smit and Rev. Kleyn will be travelling to southern Negros Occidental this week to teach Reformed doctrine and Reformed church government to a group of 8 pastors there. To learn more about this work and see pictures of the last visit to this area, see this recent post on the Kleyn's blog.

The biannual youth camp has rolled around again. This year the Launceston youth under the oversight of the Launceston Session, will be hosting a camp at the Bridport Bayview Centre. The camp will start on the afternoon of Saturday the  28th of Dec, 2013 and run through to mid­day on the 3rd of Jan 2014. 

The campsite is located on the north-east  coast of Tasmania—approximately an hour’s drive from Launceston city centre. Right on a beach!! 

The purpose of this camp is to engage in  the study of God’s Word with respect to subjects particularly relevant to Christian young people and to provide opportunity for fellowship in the walk of faith.

This year's camp  speaker will be Pastor Ron Van Overloop of Grace Protestant Reformed Church (PRC) MI,  America. 

Those who are post-high up to the age of 30 or so and would like to travel to Australia the end of the year, please contact Nick Kleyn (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) for more details.

Read about this precious group of Reformed Christians and their efforts to reach this part of the Philippines with the gospel of sovereign grace!

One of the churches which has become a significant and regular part of our mission work here in the Philippines is the Maranatha Protestant Reformed Church in Valenzuela. This congregation is located about 25 miles (usually an hour’s drive) from where we live in Antipolo. Rev. Smit and his family worship here at least two Sundays each month. Rev. Smit preaches and teaches with the goal in mind (which is also the stated desire of the congregation) that this church might one day become part of the federation of Protestant Reformed Churches here, the Lord willing. We hope that by means of this newsletter you may gain some knowledge and awareness of this congregation of beloved fellow-saints in Christ.
