From her Council's trio of Revs.D.Holstege and S.Key and Candidate Ryan Barnhill, the congregation of Peace PRC voted to extend a call to Cand.R.Barnhill this evening (July 27, 2015).

We rejoice with Cand.Barnhill, his wife, and family as well as with Peace PRC in this confirmation of the internal call he felt long ago. May the Lord of the church continue to prepare him for entrance into the ministry of the Word in the days ahead.

This morning (July 26, 2015) it was announced in Doon PRC, the calling church for the mission field in the Philippines, that Rev. Allen Brummel, pastor of Heritage PRC in Sioux Falls, SD, DECLINED the call to serve as second missionary in the Philippines - a call extended to him by the Doon congregation on July 5.

Once again, we commit Doon PRC, the field in the Philippines, and Rev.D. Kleyn and his wife to our all-wise Lord, whose ways are higher than our ways, and who will surely supply the needs of all involved in this blessed work of our King.

From the Council of Peace PRC comes this announcement to the churches:

The Council of Peace PRC nominated a trio including Rev. Daniel Holstege (First PRC, Holland, MI), Candidate Ryan Barnhill (recent PRC Seminary graduate), and Rev. Steven Key (Loveland, CO PRC), to place before our congregation for the selection of one to serve as Minister of the Word in our church.

The congregational meeting for this to take place is scheduled for Monday, July 27th, 2015.

The latest issue of "Reformed News Asia" (#19) has been released by the Christian Literature Ministry (CLM - check out their new website!) of our sister church in Singapore, the Covenant Evangelical Reformed Church. Once again you will find an issue filled with informative and profitable content - from publications being promoted, to missions/evangelism labors being performed, to church activities being planned and carried out.

One of the special resources made available in this issue is the daily devotions, which continue a series covering the Heidelberg Catechism (LDs 27-31 - the sacraments and the keys of the kingdom). Written by Rev.A. den Hartog, these devotions on the "HC" take you through the month of July and into August (July 2- August 5). You will find great spiritual profit in using these devotions day by day (By the way, you may also find these same HC devotionals on the PRC website.).

The RNA also reports on recent activities in the CERC, such as the Covenant Keepers 2015 Retreat (see group picture below) and the annual church camp, at which Prof.B.Gritters spoke in June (The picture below is a group photo taken at the church camp).

For more information on events and activities in the CERC as well as on life in Singapore, with lots of great pictures and descriptions, visit the "Stories from Singapore" blog of the Lannings.
