We are happy to share the news of two sisters baptized October 18 at Stanley Beach. We are encouraged to witness our disciples with a ‘set apart’ example, having an impact in their homes and sharing the gospel with their helpers. Jesus is being effectively preached whether at home, at school, at work or on the streets of our daily life.
Nelia Cabonce (pictured at right, blue shirt) came to the Sunday Sisters ministry through her employer Veron (iMK) sector. She has eagerly studied the Bible with a grateful and humble heart. Her childhood years filled her heart with great bitterness, anger and hatred. Studying the Bible gave her willingness to forgive as Jesus forgave her of her sins. Having the courage to forgive and reconcile has given Nelia a new spiritual beginning and a heart that is now at peace, with inner joy and a grateful spirit for the chance to walk as Jesus did. Her favorite scripture and heartfelt conviction is Matthew 6:14-15, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Lenora Villanueva (pictured above, pink shirt) also came to join the Sunday Sisters ministry through her employer Bun & Whisky (IC) sector. She has studied the Bible over the past several months with great consistency and a desire to know God. In studying God’s Word Lenora came to realize that she was very self-deceived about her character and sins of pride. Confessing, repenting and making Jesus Lord was a decision to live a consistent inner and outer life and walk the talk of a follower of Jesus. Having a clear conscience and being able to imitate Jesus in his walk with God is what she considers her greatest source of joy in facing the future. Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Lenora is seeking to imprint this Scripture on her heart, mind and daily walk as a disciple.
