Plymouth Church of Christ
C/O Brother Bert Christensen
Dear Brethren,
Greetings from the Franco family,
brethren at Lagro Church and the
brethren at Lily of the Valley
Bible Camp.
We praise God for His wonderful
love, mercy and faithfulness on us
despite on our physical weakness
especially now that we are on the
elderly state. I rejoice with the
Lord God for reaching already the
Biblical age which is 3 score and 10
last July 20 this year. Minda will
be 70 next year,
on June 26. We are still
physically, spiritually, and
mentally healthy. Although I am now
using a hearing aid in my right ear
in about a year already and a
maintenance of my high
blood pressure. Minda's
asthma attacked her usually in the
month of October and November due to
the weather. Her right knee aches
right now due to arthritis. But
still manageable.
We are so happy to tell you that all
our joint effort in teaching God's
Word to our children and kids in the
Church are not in vain. They are now
of help in the Church. We helped,
trained and sent some male students
in Bible School to increase their
knowledge in God's Word and most of
them became preachers. One remain
here in Lagro to take over all
Church activities if we are at the
"Lily of the Valley Bible Camp" in
Bugallon, Pangasinan. This is our
outreached Church mission work.
There are church activities being
held at LOVBC. So, we are doing our
very best to help in the Lagro
Church to grow in quantity and
quality in God's kingdom. May our
great God guide and help us on our
mission all for HIM.
We do hope and pray that all of you
at Plymouth Church are doing fine
and in good health most especially
to the Elders, Deacons and of course
all the members of the Church.
Days, months and years fly so fast!
Now year 2015 is about to end. We
can still remember those happy
moments when we visited you
on winter time in January 2003. We
know that the Church over there is
growing in number and in spirit.
Missed you all brethren and all of
you are in our hearts.
Here in Lagro Church, we continue to
grow spiritual as well as the Church
building.
Thank you very much for all your
continuous prayers and financial
help for our Mission Work here in
Lagro Church and extended
reached out at the Lily of the
Valley Bible Camp in Bugallon,
Pangasinan for the year 2015. That
without your support on these
mission it it's impossible for us to
reach out.
May our Great Almighty God continue
to give you good health and more
blessings as we continue to serve
the Lord in his Kingdom.
Just to updated you: The "9th Ladies
Forward for Christ" was held at the
Lily of the Valley Bible Camp last
Nov. 27-30, 2015. The mission to
teach women to teach children in
their home congregations was
started by Minda and of course with
my help in some other ways. and
continue to do once a year at the
Campsite. It was attended by 45
Ladies from 9 congregations in Metro
Manila and two from Pangasinan.
Two ladies obeyed the Gospel after
the ladies spiritual feast.
The next Church activity at the
Campsite is "One for Kids" which
will be held this coming Dec. 23-25,
2015. The 3 days of teaching kids is
sponsored by our youth, the young
professionals at Lagro Church of
Christ. Lilymae started this Church
activity at LOVBC twice a year. We
expect about 200 kids to attend
from the nearby Villages. They are
distributing some school materials
and feeding the children.
On Jan. 8, 2016, Preachers and
Church Leaders Meeting for planning
the Annual Church Activities in
Metro Manila with overnight
Fellowship.
Love,
