Global NIM - Palabrica

Thanks for Continued Support

2009-10-12T13:25:00.001-07:00

Tonight I would like to share news mission stories in the month of September [excerpted]. Had not the Global NIM being used by God, it will not be able to sustain this mission and fulfilling the last and great commission from our Lord and Savior Jesus, below:

Sept. 11/09/event-2= God indeed directed us to bring good news to the another village where we distributed the gospel tracts and inviting the residents to attend the film presentation and some welcome us and some attended the representation during the night of gospel presentation using films. Prayer of acceptance was led to the hearts of the audience to receive and believe Jesus Christ as their Savior and God. There were at least 23 souls indicated their faith to Jesus.

Sept. 19/09/event-6= Once again my film team moved and hauled our film equipments toward Aiwa village, the location is in Davao city. Then we roamed around and inviting people to come and join the film presentation and pray that God will open their hearts for the gospel. There was eagerness in the hearts of the people, yet due to rain showers outside the gym people failed to come, however we succeeded the people there. There were 21 older and children came to indicated their faith to Jesus. This mission was coordinated and partnered with the Alliance church with their Pastor Ben.

Sept. 26/09/event9= We served the feeding of 154, sidewalk Sunday School children held at Five Fold Ministries at Bankal, Davao City. Pastor Joel Lucena expressing his gratitude to Global NIM for the feeding of children most of whom are living in the riverside and squatters shanties that his church is ministering for two years. Pastor Lucena reports that the parents of these children have accommodated the gospel of salvation to their respective homes.

Sept. 27/09/event10= We had Sunday service in the afternoon at the First Word Christian Fellowship in the island of Samal, then feeding was served in the waiting shed since rainfalls came and prevent some parents and children to come in the feeding. Before we serve the food we talked about the goodness of God about the truth of Mat. 4:4 leading them to inviting them to believe Jesus and remain in His word and everything will be provided because Jesus will be not just their Savior but Lord God that provides their every need according to His Will and riches.

I thank you so much for your continued support in financial need of this mission in the southern Philippines, I know He knows best for the future of the Global NIM, and much blessing for your company's work and family. God Bless!

A Golden Birthday

My wife is now so thankful and glad for reaching this years in life with me. Maybe these photos attached speak by itself that she is being thankful to God for this another year of her life with so much blessings of good health and a family and children and friends with her in her 50th birthday. Likewise [I am thankful for her] doing mission with me especially her prayer support and most of all as my lifetime partner as wife and mother. She so happy hearing and reading your encouraging emails lately from your greetings.

Saved from the Flood Waters

2009-07-28T10:40:00.000-07:00

Praise God! I just came from my hometown because, we had experienced flash flood in our office in Lizada toril in the first week of this month, the bibles so wet and the bigpots for feeding were lost and some of my personal files and now I am recovering my amplifiers and my camera never been found. I dont know if you received my June report and this news report of the flood.

The waters passed inside our house mission office 9:15pm Saturday, July 4. I was lifting my kids and from the flood which measures up to my hips. I thanked for my wife helping me save some things. I thought this is our last hour for God's appointment time. Thank God for giving us life once again.

Thank you for your prayers and maybe I will be recoverd this month end. I need prayers to secure my amplifier but my projector was hung and never destroyed by the flood. and my motorcycle was saved by a knot because I tied it hard. The flood was in my hip level and little bit panic that time because it was first time in Lizada.

The location of our office here is 200 meters away from a Toril, river that overflowed much water in part of Davao city.

God bless you and keep you, we love you.

...at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10,11.

May the Lord continue to inspire our hearts with His presence while living and working with Him all the days of our lives!

I appreciated you so much for your prayers to our God for our mission in the Philippines to reach all people. I really believe in my heart God answers prayer all the time in His Will.

With this regard, I would like to share the victories I have gone this past week in the BadjaoVillage in Cebu. To God Be the Glory!

For event 3- May 14, when I gather and lead the Badjaos for prayer meeting. It was great sharing time with them and the Bible.

For event 4- May 17, in the morning worship with the Badjao was great and awesome with great singing and praises to our God. My emphasis was John 6 about the feeding of 5000 when our Lord raises up the 5 loaves and 2 fish, Jesus did not ask the Father for more but giving thanks instead so the miracle happens....I led them to the point that when there is scarcity of everything just look on to the Lord Jesus with Thanksgiving and miracle happens. Not just keep on craving because that spirit might overlook God's care and goodness in all times.

And after the worship service, as usual we do feeding favorite arrozcaldo inside the church. These brothers and sisters are so thankful with Words in message during worship and this feed.

For event 5- after the service and feeding, one of the leaders told me to go visit two sick childrem who suffer fever; then I prayed for healing and provided the parents some peso to buy milk and food.

For event 6- At around 6 in the afternoon, I gathered the leaders so that we could hold a gospel video beside the church so that we could minister to the other Badjaos who are not joining the sunday services with the Word of God outside. There came 4 new Badjaos who trusted Jesus as their Savior and God and said that they are willing to learn more about the Bible.

My work in this Badjao Village will be until this 24th in the morning only and I will be travelling back home to Davao on the evening by boat and arrive Davao on the 25th and do some remaining days in mission with my family in some villages and churches there.

Please continue to pray for the good weather because I had to postpone two schedules with churches who arranged with me for the gospel film showing in their outreaches due heavy rains Saturday and yesterday Monday. My next schedule for gospel preaching in the village using films will be in the adjacent village of This Badjao tribe which is the Cebuanos; this will be May 20. After we do prayer in the afternoon I will commute with my Badjao leader named Elmo to another village to preach Christ there. And, this May 22 I have a meeting with Pastor Jaime Pancho at 4:pm of Ebenezer Baptist Church to plan, discuss and arrange with him the feeding and gospel film showing in one of His outreaches in Consolacion Cebu this May 23 Saturday. Please join us pray with thanksgiving for good weather so that we could pursue the people who have not heard the good news about what Jesus did at the cross on Calvary.

I will talk to you soon. Words of gratitude is not enough. God Bless you so!

Serving and Reaching

2009-03-10T10:49:00.000-07:00

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 Feb. 17 we did another gospel video but no feeding was served there and at 5 pm I ran the projector the Cebuano film Alpha and Omega and in the middle of the film expounded to the crowd the everlasting Love of God. There were at least 23 came to know the Lord Jesus as their Savior and God. Then we ended at 8pm.

"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!

"Praises goes to our Almighty God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ to whom we dedicated this witness the world upon the leadership of the Holy Spirit –for providing us The Blessed people in America in spite of economic challenges yet God’s economy prevails in their hearts to give.

"God bless GlobalNim so much! Many thanks God keep you till He comes!

He is Always on our Side

2008-08-31T15:18:00.000-07:00

Hello My Very Kind Sir Andrew and Maam Daleen,

There is always reason to thank the Lord, because He is there always on our side comforting us by His Words.

In the past weeks, I have been travelling as usual to share Christ to the unreached villages here. This this was taken in the second week of August. I was just glad that man featured in the our August newsletter now bringing his former parishioners and very much willing to study for our Pastoral Training. He is the former priest of "Auring," a cult sect of reincarnated Christ in their Auring village. Now he also shared with him four of his parishioners and now will be scheduled for water baptistm, also those with him now attending the Bible studies.

One new brother who came to know the Savior, A.P. (name deleted) gave his testimony in the crowd and challenged the crowd about the good things Jesus done for his life, he was one drug addict before who met the Lord and Savior Jesus and surrender to Christ his vices, and also decided to attend our Pastoral training, because he said, he would like to give his life to Jesus now that he found the real peace in his heart with the Savior.

These new professions of believers were the recipients of Bibles that I purchased from the financial support coming from the Global NIM. The Lord JEsus now trying to redirect some funds to buy the Cebuano Bible Old and New Testament, because this is really the need as of this moment. In order for them to be guided by His word and grow in knowledge be instrument to others too.

There were two locations, where I was invited by two churches to hold for feeding, but we (Pastors) decided to just use the feeding budget to buy Cebuano Bibles here. I do hope you understand as you gave me the judgment to use the funds for feeding and gospel video. However, gospel video of powerful gospel messages thru films is very much very useful here to gather people and share to them the good news of eternat life.

If you can see the flow of those who came to trust their lives to our Savior Jesus, some of them were crying whispering some words of joy that they found the real joy in Jesus. Another Village chairman came to trust Christ and very much willing to attend Bible studies here. The South East Mindanao Tribal Missions with their churches and leaders will now have to follow-up those who just followed Christ as Savior!

I will be sending another set of photos, to vouch our evangelism and mission movement here. Last Aug. 18, I was given a chance to give the topic of the Ministry of the Word of Reconcilliation and exposed it to 113 pastors and leaders here. This is one day event only, and 'twas great and successful. Praise God!

I do thank you Sir Andrew and Maam Daleen for so kind to us with your agonizing prayers that moves people and preach Jesus with fear and favor. Sometimes we encountered rain showers during night time of mission, yet am willing to go anywhere to any person our Savior Jesus.

Also, thank you for sharing to others the need of a motorbike and educational grants for my kids. I believed our God is a master of impossibilities. Prayers moves mountains, for we cannot pray with out great faith to the sustainer and source of everything, and that before we ask Him He has in the process of answering our request to HIm. What I need is to listen, wait and be sensitive to His presence.

My family has been my support also and they are in the praying mode as always, when I was out for 1 week away from home, my wife and kids are interceding. They are indeed one of my prayer warriors too while am on my trip in the far villages to follow the last command of our Lord, also praying with other local missionaries abroad like me.

May you have joy in supporting in mission and to the whole Global NIM Family!

In Christ,

Bro. Elmerson

God's Moving in Malakuma

2008-07-27T14:17:00.000-07:00

Last week, the week of July 8th, was a remarkable experience for me at the mountain village of Malakuma. I was invited by the Faith Tabernacle Church to do the Gospel Video and feeding to the kids and parents. We were suppose to do it outside the church in the basketball court yet weather was not cooperating so after the food was served we went inside the Church instead and showed to them the Alpha and Omega film.

I expound to them the very plan of God's Salvation of their souls; that when The Savior Jesus is believed and received, Hewill also be their Lord to provide what they need and heal their sickness and depression. He is the Answer for every need. On that night there were at least 12 professions who came to know the Lord. The Church with Pastor Bobbit is now making follow-up for these new believers become their members and will be baptized in the Church.

Thank you for reading this report and we are so thankful for the Global Nim and you for being there in this ministry of souls. Many Filipinos now having opportunity to hear the Gospel of Salvation and be given the taste of Heaven.

Typhoon Frank

2008-06-24T06:49:00.000-07:00

God is good more than anything else in Jesus!

It has been a challenging experience here with our 4 sets of feeding and gospel film mission activities, because the typhoon locally named "Frank" devastated some major cities in the Visayas and Mindanao, even some parts in Luzon; however, for us here in Davao City, we just encountered heavy rain showers but no strong winds, yet our mission activity was not disturbed.

In one Barangay or Village in Island Garden City of Samal named Barangay Sion, where we held our feeding mission, it took us 3 hrs ride by hired motorcycle in order for our team to reach in that Barangay, which is located in the mountinous part of that Island particularly in Caputian town. While we were serving food at 6:30pm, at 7pm there was a black out in the whole Island and heavy rains came, so we used candles to give us light while serving food, though we were shaded by covered Multi Purpose building while serving food. This happened in our June 19 activity.

We also had served food in Barangay Cogon in the following day in the 20th where the typhon sank the big Ship carrying more 700 plus passengers that was missing last friday. And, so with our schedule we pursued and found some strategy to go on with the gospel films presentation. We found a small barbeque stand to shade our small film equipment if rains came in the midst of the presentation. While doing the gospel films, we cut in the climax and gave invitation to the crowd; there were souls that came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and a lot of them asked and need Cebuano bibles to start a home church there.

I just praised God for my two friend Pastors Jerry Solmiron Foursquare Church in Babak IGACOS and Cris Reyes of Christ Community Church in Cogon Babak. IGACOS promised to start a home church in that mission outreach. (By the way, the villages we served for mission have no Evangelical Churches.) These pastors thanked God for the food served and the gospel mission in these villages. (The projects) were so successful, and they told me that they would start following up on those new professions of faith and start bible studies there and then become a home church. Praise the Lord!

There were two villages we served last week with the same bad weather situation which I also sent and attached in the mail so that... you can pray and be delighted for your financial support given to this mission to win souls to Christ. Psalms 82 is reality now and evident today. Our God in heaven is meeting conference for the success of our mission for His Glory and Honor in His Son Jesus, no more no less.

For my family here, we're fine and in good health, by God's grace, thank you for minding us in your prayers and meditation.

I will be doing two scheduled feeding and gospel missions this week and next week

What results!

2008-05-04T15:22:00.001-07:00

The first quarter feeding and Gospel video program to almost 890 individuals resulted in 329 decisions for Jesus Christ! Using funds provided by Global NIM, the programs were organized by city, town and village churches; the new believers are now discipled by the respective pastors and lay leaders. Please pray for these new lives in Christ.

Future feedings will be more expensive than last quarter. Brother Elmerson wrote on 4/25, "Philippine economy now worsen and all are increasing in terms of basic commodities like the rice before the commercial rice priced to P/ 26 to 29 now P/ 32 to 38 per kilo. Though there are government supplied rice at P/ 18.50 per kilo but it is so limited and people who are poor enough even medium class would fall in line to buy 2 kilos of rice allowed per customer only. Transportation fare rates are increasing due to crude price hike also. I know God's economy is not disturbed in Man's economy since we have confidence in Jesus our Lord who takes responsibility of everything (Rom. 8:28) for us who love the Lord so much.

"May I now request for another budget for 2nd quarter of this year's feeding and video mission of $ 800. Then, I will increase feeding and video mission opportunities for this budget to bless others/churches of His Love and Salvation thru this program penetrating mostly the Southeastern Part of Mindanao Phils. and maybe travel Visayas and Luzon areas for said mission."

Standing on the Rock

2008-04-13T18:32:00.000-07:00

The other day in my room after dedicating myself to our God in Prayer and Thanksgiving, my attention directed to the attached picture which I took on my recent mission trip to Pilar Island. When I strolled along the seaside in the early morning, I was amazed by these two trees(I don't know the kind of trees) that were naturally growing out of solid rock without any soil on it. Pastor Salili told me that they have survived there for years, perhaps even more than a century and they are still alive with green leaves!

The thought came to my mind, and it gives me meanigful significance relating to GlobalNIM and the feeding and gospel video mission which is The Will of God. Looking at this picture, the solid rock where trees are rooted upon, through and under signifies the connection and partnership with Global NIM. It really reflects this partnership with Global NIM under the powerful Presence of God in us through The Holy Spirit working with one goal - to do the Last command of Jesus Christ, who died and rose from grave for you and me. He became Our Savior and Lord. He paid the accounts of sin penalty long ago at the cross of calvary.

In this regard, I can't ask for more to move me with this call without you and the churches in the U.S. and individuals who are praying and supporting us through prayers and [financial] support...

Thank you for your leadership and concern for us Filipinos and for allowing us to be part of GlobalNim. I know in heaven there are many Filipinos there, and it is because we obey our Lord's Command.

With words of gratefulness from the depths of my heart, Pastor Elmerson Palabrica

2008-04-06T15:42:00.000-07:00

God is so good, I can't complain!

Not long ago, I arrived back from the small island of Pilar where Pastor Felix Salili requested me to visit him for gospel video and feeding mission. It was very successful there. Praise the Lord!

It was during holy week time (Easter) so I just stayed and did five meetings with the gospel video mission there. There were 176 new indications to follow Jesus. I am sending you some pictures (attached) which are the feeding and the gospel video presentation.

I am meditating on the goodness of that island
Mother serving the hardboiled rice choco soup
The little ones with the food

The little girl used a coco leaf as a spoon
the gospel video presentation (it's hard to see, but an image of Jesus is on the screen)

Now that we have only a limited time to do it, we still need to go tell others about Jesus; and we will give Glory and worship to His Name.

Next week I will be home in Davao with my family and may be do some business to sustain my family's needs. Thanks for praying my family's needs, education and health this opening in June this year and need your prayer that there will be more local brethren for mission support here, and my family sisters and brothers for their continued support in this small mission for Jesus. I know God is our Jehovah Jireh. Travelling for missions need a lot of finances. But I believe God is able in His special way to sustain, for He was saying " LO ", in Matthew or " I Tell YOu The Truth " ..."I will be with you till the end of the age". Amen.

Blessing, Bro. Elmerson

Serving those in need

2008-02-02T18:35:00.000-08:00

Things go so smoothly when it done with love and compassion to those People who need the Lord!

Indeed, I love to see people enjoying the blessings of God when we feed them with His Words (I Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever). Truly, a change of life follows and it is redirected to God to share with others also the gift of eternal life in Heaven. Methods are many, but there is one goal - to tell others about Jesus and His Salvation. Our Gospel Video and Feeding mission is one of the mediums where God led us for His Glory. Thank you so much Global NIM for your open arms for this mission here.

Saturday February 2nd, I went to serve the invited children and parents for the Gospel Video and Feeding Mission at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Consolacion Cebu with their Pastor Jaime Pancho. We started at 3 O'clock in the afternoon. There were at least 21 out of 85 souls came to trust their lives to Jesus Christ as their Savior and God. These children and adults alike expressed their thanks to Global Nim for providing them the Gospel Video and Feeding where they indicated to attend the sunday school and divine service next sunday in this 2 year old Bamboo built Church of Ebenezer Baptist Church.

Thank you for continued support and prayers for this very simple mission for the Lord. I know our God sees the hearts to those who need and believe God's Love for His Kingdom, we are just servants and instruments of light. Praise the Name of Jesus!

God keep you always in His protection and good health. God bless Global NIm!

Love and Peace In Jesus,

January Feeding and Teaching

2008-01-26T11:37:00.000-08:00

Phil. 4:6 paraphrased...Jesus must always be in our thoughts and deeds.

There is always reason to shine in the Ministry of souls in the Name of our Savior and God Jesus Christ!

Early morning, Sunday Jan. 20th, I got up and reviewed the scriptures to sustain the Thanksgiving and Dedication emphasis from the Bible for the first house sunday service of Bethesda Christian Fellowship. And so, at 9am, I arrived from my place in Compostela to the site of this new church to worship. Believers and unbelievers alike came in to attend. Some of those were relatives of my friend Pastor Arante who initiated the Bethesda Ministry in the Hospital of more 1,500 plus patients.

Pastor Arante praised God for the opportunity to share with the patients The Gospel of Salvation - to those who are in dire need even sometimes he posts as watcher for the patients who don't have a watcher to watch over their poor sick patients. Last time when I was invited by this brother pastor to the hospital my heart was moved and that is why I told him, as soon as the gift for feeding arrives, this part of your mission be served with food.

With this concern, before the worship service started, I gave to him together with his wife the $25 for the feeding and teaching in the Government run Vicente Sotto Hospital, by next week we will be submitting some pictures and testimony as we implement the gifts for feeding while sharing Christ to the patients.

After we had lunch, I asked permission to leave for Naga, Cebu, where my friend, brother pastor Siegred Verdeflor, pastoring the Camangahan Christian Fellowship, does his feeding and teaching mission. At 3pm, I turned over to him the budget for the feeding and teaching that will be scheduled next week in the mountain place adjacent to the church site where there are lots of people in need with The Word of God.

I met these pastors to host the feeding and teaching mission in their respective churches to proclaim the Plan of God to the lives who would come and hear The Word-not just the feeding, but by every word of God preached to them shall give life eternal in Heaven.

After getting back home to Compostela, Cebu, and was about to sleep, my wife called me up to check my situation in Cebu. I told her, "I love you and just finished off the sunday ministry here."' She then remind me of the feeding and teaching in the Udas farm in Kidapawan City where scheduled it for the 16th of February.

I just felt that I was missing my wife and family in Davao while serving missions in the Cebuanos. I thought to myself anyway that this is God's leading. I know I need to be with them. Maybe that happens in Kidapawan City where the Construction of the Church will start anytime this year or next year.

On Jan. 22nd, I met with Pastor Felix Salili of All By God's Grace Church of Pilar, Camotes Island, Cebu, for a meeting. We went to the ATM machine and I gave him the budget for the feeding and teaching mission in advance so that he can plan what food to serve and invited people who will hear the gospel there.

I gave the website of Global NIM and told them to say thank you for such gift. Maybe they will also send you reports for the events of the feeding and teaching of the gospel mission in their respective outreaches.

And so, with these Pastors who coordinated with feeding and teaching missions, they initially expressed their gratitude over the good intentions of Global Nim for the lost souls. As they received the gifts, they would say "Many Thanks!" to Global NIM. (Maybe you can read their lips while receiving the gifts in the picture.)

Praise His Name Forever! Bless Global Nim Lord always! Every Blessing,

Bro. Elmerson

2008-01-12T19:30:00.000-08:00

Great is the Victory in Jesus our Savior and God! Blessed New Year to all Global NIM family!

Yesterday (5-JAN) I arrived at Compostela, Cebu, from Malita, Davao del Sur (the Southern Part of Mindanao) for a family reunion with my family of Palabricas. 'Twas indeed a remarkable visit in my home town where I received your unforgetable call for that very nice greetings.

This morning, I was visiting those who heard my gospel video in SRP Cebu City early last year video missions, because the Pastor Francis the pastor of these Badjao tribe here was out of town in Manila for a meeting. I was scheduled last year to teach these Badjaos in their own in their shanties and mode, just to give God the Worship thru songs and listening to His word in their own dialect. Praise that I can speak in their dialect.

Badjao tribe is the very least of the [M] tribe in the Philippines. Some of their tradition of seeking money is to beg people and by their open palm asking for money for food, but they are very peaceful and loving living creations of God, they are God fearing they never involved snaching and stealing there's no record in the Philippine crime that this tribe do some such menace acts.

During this morning's Bible Teaching and Worship, Badjao bro. Elmo wisper to my ear that his 2 month old baby girl needs prayer because she's suffering from cough and fever. I gave encouragement to continue trusting the Lord of Healing which is Jesus, and right then I turned over the offering to him of $ 1.81 (P55) to buy milk for his baby and advised him to bring the baby to the nearest barangay health center for check up.

The thought came to my mind these people must be one of the next benefit for video and feeding missions that Global NIM will facilitate to invite the unbelievers to hear the Word of God of Salvation.

After that, there are pastors and chruches lined up on my list to be channelled with these very dynamic and humanitarian approach of missions and evangelism because of Matt 4:4 is scripted in the Holy Word of God is real.

I can't imagine the dream of my heart to give God the Glory thru this now a reality thru the gifted heart from my Brethren in the U.S. and thru your effort and compassion. Alleluiah!

Thank you Sir, for God using you for us in this simple kind of mission to reach each and teach all who need the Love of Jesus.

Thus, with this so much concern in our heart, I' d like to touch your shoulder to share once again and request ,this month the feeding budget of $ 500. For this, I must follow all what you have taught me to do in my report.

Great results for 5 mega pixxel kodac camera and am so excited to use it, and still learning to use it for the nice angles and a right situations for our blog.

I am so grateful for everything, To God Be The Glory!. Sir if it will be all right for you I will be allowing some Pastors to say Thank you to Global Nim for the feeding and video evangelistic presentations this year 2008 for Jesus.

So God Bless Global Nim, your Family and our all Contributors more bountiful flow of blessings and love! In Jesus- The Author and Finisher of our Faith,

Bro. Elmerson and Family

At Noon today, 25th of December, I heard voice from the U.S. that gave me triple excitement that I can't explain, I understand 'twas midnight in the U.S. then, yet 'twas very delighting because 'twas my first time I heard your powerful voice. Thanks a lot for your Christmas Greetings to my Family. My Parents and Wife and Children were so happy after they learned that I had been talking to you, Sir Andrew. Though my voice was not coming to your phone too clearly, yet it is good enough that I can greet you the same in this very historical celebration of God's intervention into human kind, to shade His blood to give us life life that is eternal in His Son Jesus Christ- to whom we center our adoration unto His Presence. The Hope of Glory! Amen.

I just like to claim all the answers of our prayers, because God knows our hearts, to continue serving Him, no matter what, in 2008 and the years to come with the Global NIM.

Last night we had a film mission in one of the villages here in my Hometown in Malita, The church that coordinated with us is Aroma Beach Baptist Church, there were estimated of 200 who attended and there are 120 children and adults who came to indicate to put their lives, trust and faith to Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Pastor Noel Porras were so ecouraged to pray for the new professions of faith. I did the preaching and channell them his church for follow-up. (The first picture is of my father, Pastor Elpidio Palabrica, driving his favorite tricycle as means of transporting our film equipment to Aroma Beach Baptist Church, and the second is after crossing the river, packing up again to go forward in the video evangelistic location.

Happy New Year to you and the whole family of Global NIM. May the Lord grant more fruitful oppportunities for winning souls in 2008!

Pastor Elmerson Palabrica
