LTW Update; Witnessing to Moonies in the Philippines

Below are more details from Nitoy on our new table ministry, which will begin this year. God has given us the money to ship him materials. Pictures of the mission field, where the table will be located, will follow soon.

Hi Dwayna,

This new table ministry will be set up in the foundation day or special events of the university. The colleges that we have now is Batangas State University http://www.batstate-u.edu.ph/ and Lyceum of the Philippines Batangas http://www.lyceumbatangas.edu.ph/ because of the presence of a campus ministry there. As of now I have not yet got the dates of the events. I wasn't able to contact my partner, Harry, because he is so busy in teaching and working at the hospital. By Friday I'll visit the campus to check again and take some photos.

It will be in the campus belt of the Batangas City area only. http://www.batangascity.gov.ph/

This will be a campus ministry to students and teachers, and it will also be facilitated by our pastors and workers. I'll let you have the photos by Saturday...

Here are my updates:

I had a six day break from my ministry, laptop and Internet. Now I'm refreshed and fully charged. But in those days I read the Bible and read some Christian books. Since there is nothing worthy to watch on holy week (and even in regular days!) I get in tuned with reading the Scriptures and had a chat with my mother and aunts.

But since I'm a Christian I have no escape from people who want to undermine the gospel. As I have told in my previous update, that I have found out that the Moonies are out in our city and peddling pens and religious cards for money...I've printed out some articles to give out. I thought that last Wednesday will be the last of these [Moonie] people; I was wrong. I encountered someone, whom I have to admit that I didn't handle too well, so I gave him the papers. Then another one with whom I have had a good conversation.

His name is Robin. I've told him that I don't give money to people who have a questionable leader; asking for "donations" from strangers is unbiblical. As always, they are very clever and want to stump you before they leave. They start friendly, but as soon as you mention Sung Myong Moon claiming Messiaship, they become a little bit arrogant. We had this conversation and I shared the gospel. I gave him the papers...Please pray for Robin.

Since these people won't go away, I launched a text message campaign to other Christian friends to text it to other Christians to beware of this group and their modus operandi. If ever rebuke them and witness to them. I will also sent a message through Friendster. Please pray against the deception of the Moonies awareness campaign here in the Philippines!

Last Monday the security and other bystanders in the park started to somewhat question these Moonies again. We found out they are not from our place (Batangas province or city); some are minors and have no endorsement of any government officials from there province. If sholarship is their problem, someone said their province can accommodate their needs. Our security asked them to leave, but at 7 P.M. they were still in our premises asking for money. As you read this, please help us in prayer. My hearts goes out for these deceived people. Their leader really duped them to this cult. I've talked to one of them again and told them there is a congressman who is a Baptist, who wages war against homosexual rights, child pornography and gambling and we will ask him push to investigate their group for getting money if they dont stop doing it. Again, they are unmoved.

Maybe tommorow I'll search in the internet more about them and still give them the gospel and the papers. Also I caught them on a video I'll upload in YouTube. I will also upload a video of a child actress here who is dabbling with witchcraft. Whether she is telling the truth or just a publicity stunt for her first movie break (a horror movie title T2) to reek more money in the box office, anything with witchcraft brings spiritual deception. Also please pray for our rondalla group. I missed them playing in a Police station then our pastor preached the gospel and gave tracts.

Wow, video worthy stuff! Two visitors accepted Christ. I guess they will pray in a Bible Study we are conducting. Please pray for them. If you don't know it yet there are videos of our rondalla on YouTube.

Simply go to: http://www.youtube.com/allstarboyscout or search "GSBM San Pascual Rondalla" on YouTube or Google. It's truly a blessing to play music for God and reach others in Christ.

Thanks for reading this update and God bless.

Yours in Christ,
Nitoy
