Friday evening, March 22, 2013
The sky was
clear with the stars twinkling far above us and Quezon City Memorial Circle has never been as
lively as before. At last! Pastor Doug’s promise to return to the Philippines and
share the word of God has been fulfilled! March 22, 2013 was the official
beginning of Hidden Bible Truths - a seminar series with Pastor Doug Batchelor
which revealed the forgotten Christian teachings for the last days.
Our PAFCOE students
came earlier than the rest of the audience (at 3 pm) to help out in arranging the many 100s of plastic
chairs. The stage was also prepared for the most awaited event. Later on,
church members came to help and a few minutes before the program began,
everything was ready for God to work that night.
At around 5:30
pm, people started to gather. People from all walks of life from the
northern and even some from the southern parts of the Philippines came to
witness and be blessed by God’s word and it was not long until the venue was
filled with thirsty souls.
The program
officially started at 6:15 pm. Graced with lovely music and a startling
welcome, the event was filled with gladness and excitement. After the being
introduced by Pastor Lowell Hargreaves, at last it was time for Pastor Doug
Batchelor to speak. Oh, what joy it was to be among those who heard God’s word
as Pastor Doug shared the message entitled Broken Chains!
The crowd was
eager to listen. Pastor Doug went through his message with such
simplicity that every soul could relate to. Everybody’s interest was intensified as
Pastor Doug shared his own personal testimony and eyes were glittering with
tears as the listeners meditated upon the message and examined their own life.
Every hungering soul was filled and the program ended with such a blessing to each person.
Indeed God is so
good, and we praise His name for sending Pastor Doug back in the Philippines!
