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.

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.

Pastor Chris Murray, ROA Vice Pres. Dr. Ricky Dunsford,
Bro. Micheal Adams, Bro. Larry Stikeleather, and
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.
