Update on the Saints in the Philippines (Leyte)

 
PRC Missionary-pastor Daniel Kleyn recently posted an update on the situation in the Philippines following the typhoon which recently hit the central part of this country, affecting especially the saints in Leyte. The First Reformed Church of Bulacan pastored by Rev.John Flores has taken charge of assisting the PR Fellowship in Albuera there. You may read the entire blog post here, but below is a portion of it, including a couple of pictures.

"The First Reformed Church of Bulacan has a mission outreach in Albuera, Leyte - the Protestant Reformed Fellowship in Albuera (PRFA).  As many of you know, the saints there were affected by Typhoon Yolanda (international name, Haiyan), with d amage to their homes and the church building.
 
Last week, FRCB was able to send a delegation of two men from their consistory to visit the saints there and help them in their need.  The delegation reported that the members of the fellowship there were most grateful to God for His protection in preserving their lives and keeping them from injury.  We are thankful that the assistance which has been received has provided for the needs of these brothers and sisters in Christ."

Dearest Friends,

 
The 23rd issue of Salt Shakers is now out!
 
God's Word is central to us. Jesus Christ commanded the apostle Peter to "Feed my sheep".
 
In this issue, we tackle some big questions like...
How important is the Preaching of God's Word, really?
What does God's Word teach us to look for in a Girlfriend?

How are we to Build a New Godly Home according to God's Word?

Is the Apocrypha part of God's Word? 
What does God's Word teach us about Worship, Honouring our Parents and Confessing our Faith?
 
"Forever settled in the heavens,
Thy word, O Lord, shall firmly stand;
Thy faithfulness shall never fail;
The earth abides at Thy command."
 
Do we love God's word so much that we love to sing it as well?

Please take a look at what this latest magazine has to offer!
