Excerpts from Elmerson Palabrica's March 2, 2009 email:
"Thank God for His goodness and mercy in us overflowing in Jesus!
Just arrived home from series of mission serving and reaching the unreached in the southern Mindanao, Philippines.
"On February 16 I travelled once again to Davao del Sur province, because this is my mission focus this February to preach each sitio or small village of barangay or village Talogoy in the town of Malita. When I arrived in the first sitio or small village here I coordinated the local SBC church here for follow-up for all the professions of faith and asked the permit to the Village councilor Sumanday an inactive Christian- to do the gospel film and feeding mission near to his house, I thanked God for directing us in his ground, because this councilor and his children rededicated their lives to Jesus and there were several people joined with the sinners’ prayer
and trusted their lives to Jesus. We served the food locally known as nutritious arrozcaldo for the children and the parents. One of his daughter Theresa a single parent decided to study to my 'simpliflied pastoral home study program,' now on going, to become active again in the church for the children.

"On February 19 we still had experienced bad weather condition, since we don’t have covered court in that village we did the program at the waiting shed house and shown to the them the true to life story of Attorney Nick a Cebuano Film. Which tells the story of love and how the character of that film came to know the Savior Jesus, then preached and gave the invitation, praise God! He is worthy to be honored God gives them taste of Heaven thru knowing Jesus and their King and Redeemer. I led them the prayer of commitment and dedicated to them to the Most High and
whispering prayer near me to Jesus. And, prayed their faith for blessed assurance of God that He will not leave them nor forsake them even in times of need, diseases, troubles He is there to heal us and for us to cling on. Halleluiah! "Sir Andrew, while doing mission with our Lord Jesus, He led me to stay in this Local SBC Church in Talogoy – this religious group were becoming the predominantly religious organization in this Barangay or Village, this is certified, that we are part of the growth of believers here and some noticed me for the reaction of the roman catholics that they are now listing their members to monitor who went to the SBC Christian church there. On February 25 
we held the film showing and the feeding in the open court. This time, when I preached there somebody in the crowd shouting and ridiculing our work, I just go on and shown them the Alpha and Omega which is a 45 minute film that shown the creation to the lake of fire (Genesis to Revelation) which is known here as the movie bible that tells Christ’s love story for the people of the world. And, I did the invitation and there 43 who indicated believers of Christ who are willing to repent to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in them. Their names being listed for follow-up.

"On February 26, I stayed for one day and night in this same church to walk a few kilometers away 
with the team to reach the next mission field, while approaching the village rainfalls go after us. We fixed the film equipment and the ladies cooked the food inside the house and people came down from the mountain to see the Big screen and see big moving people in the screen about the Bible Movie. We thanked the Lord for the opportunity of inviting them to trust and believe Christ Jesus, 98 young and adults indicated their faith in this presentation. To God be the Glory!
