Happy 4th Anniversary, DASAL Baptist Church

Thank you Pastor Rolly for reminding us that this is the Fourth Anniversary of DASAL Baptist Church.  On behalf of the Elders and the Deacons, with all your brothers and sisters at Elk Point Baptist Church, we bless the Lord for His goodness and grace.

It only seems like yesterday that we were in discussions with Susana and Airyn and Pastor Rolly about starting a church in Dalumpinas.  We remember with fondness those days when Pastor Jason and Brother Rick visited you, and it was not long before God's grace enabled us to start the initial work.

What joy it brings to us as we have seen the Church work together and serve Christ for the advancement of His Kingdom.  We greet you all in Christ's name; and look forward to many years of ministry together in the Gospel, until He returns and stands glorified among His saints. 

In the account of Nehemiah, as he was rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, there were those that opposed.  In deceit they wanted him to stop and converse with them.  He responded this way: “so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?”” (Nehemiah 6:3, NIV).

How much more significant, in time and eternity the work you are all doing at DASAL Baptist Church.  It is a great "project"; and the joy we have today as we rejoice with you is “that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6, NIV).

From Pastor Jim, Jason, Rick and Rhonda, Seth, Courtney and Raha, AND TO ALL OF US WHO LOVE YOU IN THE LORD at Elk Point Baptist Church , we are incredibly thankful for the good work in Dalumpinas/Salincob.   May God contine to richly bless you.
