Hello Everyone,

We greet you once again in the lovely name of our Lord Jesus. We pray each of you are enjoying the blessings of God upon you and doing well. The past few months have been very exciting for our family and the mission field.

Caleb Joshua Murray has made his presence known in the house (at the most unusual times). He sure has brightened things up. Mrs. Amy always prayed for a healthy and happy baby and he is most certainly that. Each time he looks at you he smiles. He is starting those cute little baby giggles that make you want to just eat him up. We thank the Lord for His blessings upon us.

Andrew is still growing bigger each day and smarter too I might add. Amy is such a good teacher. She is home-schooling Andrew at the K-4 level and he is doing very well. The Lord has smiled upon us graciously.

I am staying very busy in the work. I have been preparing Bible College material for the upcoming school year that starts in just a few weeks. We do ask that you pray for the school, staff and students that God will find a way to work in us and through us for His glory. Also pray that God will supply all the needs of the school ministry.

We thank God for each of you. We appreciate your faithful prayers and financial support. Without either one we would be very limited in the work here. However, God using you as a channel makes a way for the work to go on here in Bacolod City. God bless you as you continue to serve Him faithfully.



Love & prayers,
The Murray Family

REDEEMING THE TIME
Evangelistic Crusade


New Beginnings Baptist Church had the blessed opportunity to host this great crusade with WJEA Ministries. Dr. William Jeffcoat , who now pastors the Capitol Baptist Church of Dover, Delaware along with Dr. Dan Hemmes from the Manton Baptist Church of Manton, Michigan came and blessed our hearts with their ministries. We had 267 people make public professions of faith in Christ.

We would like to thank Bro. Jeffcoat, Bro. Hemmes, their families, and churches for sharing their lives with us during these days. We give God all the glory for the great things He hath done. Below are some pictures of this great crusade.



       


  

 




Irene, Mrs. Amy, Joy, & Christina preparing
to sign them up as they come in.


Many jeeps came in from many kilometers away completely filled with prospects.


And when they heard that Jesus was
in the house the place was filled


Throughout the crusade 267 people made professions of
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! To God be the glory!


When they heard the Word they
were pricked in their hearts


While they came in groves, they were dealt with
in small groups and shown the Way of Salvation
from the Scriptures!


Please Pray!

New Beginnings Baptist Bible College - Ministry Opportunities


We praise the Lord for our Bible College students and the opportunities that God gives them to reach out in various ministries. Just recently our College Choir had the privilege of singing for the Rock of Ages Prison Ministry – Rudy Walters Distribution Center dedication. This was a great privilege to help our fellow missionary Bro. Larry Stikeleather.

The Lord has also made a way for us to start working in the local prisons as well. Each Friday some of our students along with Bro. Larry and myself will be going into the prisons and ministering the Word of God to the prisoners. Just last week we took part in distributing over 500 Bibles to those behind bars.

Bro. Paul Perkins prepare to take Bibles to the prisons.


As Bro. Rey Pontillas, ROA national missionary,
preached the Word of God, this man sat behind him
looking over his shoulder the entire time.


NBBBC students, Willy Edoloverio and Rhody Mabaquiao,
help distribute Bibles to the inmates.


Over 500 inmates receive the Word of God!

1. Pray for the sponsorship of our Bible College students. We need 15 churches, Sunday school classes, youth groups or individuals who will sponsor a student on a monthly basis. Most of our students receive no help from home and would really appreciate your help.

2. Pray for the Bible College as we resume classes the first week of June with Dr. Bud Lance teaching a two week modular course on Ministerial Ethics.

3. Please pray for the Bible Colleges need of a jeepney which will be used for the school and the church ministries. It will be much more convenient to have our own jeep for the ministry needs. A good, used jeep will cost around $4,000. Please seek the Lord’s guidance concerning this need.
