DAY 12 – Sun, June 29












Worship Service at Northgate Christian Fellowship in Benicia.
It’s about an hour drive from Daly City. We went early around 7.30AM
Services was at 9.30 & 11 AM.

The worship was good led by Brian Logue. Pastor Ken Jensen delivered the message and it’s part of message series called “Can You Hear Me Now? – Learning How To Pray”. We were at Week-5-Unlimited Long Distance:
HOW YOU CAN PRAY FOR GOD’S WORK
AROUND THE WORLD
a. Pray for New Opportunities
b. Pray for Clear, Communicated Message
c. Pray for Wisdom & Integrity (authenticity)

Part si Bro.Mark ng message. He was interviewed by Pastor Ken how their prayers were answered and how they were led by the Lord to go the Philippines as a missionary. Nagkaroon din ng opportunity para mai-share ni Bro. Mark about the needs in the Philippines and the White Harvest Mission’s Center so the church can pray for God’s work in “unlimited long distance”. We had a good response from the congregation and before each service ends we would go the table at the back and entertain the inquiries of the people. We pray that many contacts and open doors will be established. Halleluiah!!!

Pagkatapos po ng service sa Northgate pumunta kami sa house ng friend ni Bro. Mark – a couple named John & Becky. They have a really nice home and a nice black Labrador dog named “Jessie”. We went to their son’s (Michael) baseball game. It was a District level match and guess what?….they WON! Hurray!!!! Alright!!!

At siyempre habang nanonood….(masaya na naman J) we were eating this big 6” sandwich (mine is turkey, others salami & beef) and we had soda and chips. Meron yata 4 na baseball field dun…Wow!…and lawak ng lugar. Masaya na ko na nanonood at kumakain…hehe….I’m not into baseball actually. J

Tapos bumalik na kami sa house nila John & Becky and we had chocolate cake….sarap! sarap! Tapos coffee & tea….and we played with “Jessie”. We had good conversations and sharings with the family – John, Becky, & Michael.

Tapos po…uwian na ulit…balik na ulit ng Daly City.

DAY 12
We drove to Benicia at 7:20amand got there at 8:15am. We’re scheduled to attend both services of Northgate Christian fellowship: one at 9:30; another at 11am. We’ve seen the worship team’s practice and the song leader, Brian Logue, kept saying, “Are you happy? Any questions, comments, suggestions?” which was ‘hilarious.’ Before we left, he gave each of us a copy of his album.

Pastor Ken interviewed Bro. Mark to elaborate on the vision. It was a blissful and gracious venue he gave us. He said that Northgate will have a special offering, “Thanksgiving Offering” that will specifically go to White Harvest. The response of the brethren was overwhelming especially at the booth where we’re able to share more about the ministry.

We went straight from the church to John and Becky’s house in Benicia and had lunch while watching their son, Michael, play baseball for the Benicia District. It was awesome out there in the field! I had a great time. They have a cute dog (Lab) named Jessie and I love that Lab!

At home was pizza night and prayer night.
