Christmas in February?

Oops…we didn’t want to let Christmas 2007 get too far behind without posting these. What a blessing to share Christmas with Sis. Dolores and the Collados!

Hmmm…now where did I put that tent?

Hey everyone! It’s camping time.

Missionaries Rick and Joy Kelley

The Kelley’s visited with us on Sunday during their survey trip to Guam. They are missionaries to the US Military overseas as well as good friends with Bro. Mac. They both were in the mission field together in Germany. The Kelley’s heard that Bro. Mac was on island and surprised him with a visit. Bro. Kelley shared his testimony, as well as preached to us during our evening service. God made it clear to them on this trip that this is where He wants them to be. Remember them in your prayers as they head back to the states to report to their supporting churches. They will be back on island in July.

Brother Wilbur McBride

Family Baptist Church welcomes “Bro. Mac” to Guam, who came all the way from Jacksonville, Florida to minister to us while Pastor Jay and Sis. Linda are on furlough. Bro. Mac is the Assistant to the President and Military Field Administrator for Baptist Missions to Forgotten People (BMFP). Through Brother Mac’s messages, Wednesday night singing, Bible riddles, and wit, FBC has been greatly blessed during the time he has been with us.

Tagalog A to Z Sunday School

Bro. Besar Santos teaches the Tagalog A to Z Sunday School class every Sunday from 9:00 am to 9:45 am.

Have you checked our Book Table lately?

Our book table contains bibles and a wide variety of books that will help you with your walk with God and marriage. Inquiries for books can be made through Sis. Leny de Jesus.

Couples Banquet 2008 Hearts Are Won To Christ.

Singing about God’s love for us.

Bro. Besar excited about the desserts!

Let the games begin! Wives whistled hymns for their husbands to guess while eating a cracker, husbands trying their best to make their wives laugh, while the wife tried her best not to, as they expressed their love to them, and talented, blindfolded card makers were some of the games that gave the audience a good laugh.

Some of the pictures Bro. Cutright and Sis. Rose took at the photo corner.
