Dr. Paul Engle in Iloilo

"Preachers, we are not sent to whiten tombs, but to open them." - C.H. Spurgeon

November, 2016

Keeping you informed and up to date on what Carey has been doing around the world.

To God be the glory!

After crossing over 12 time zones and narrowly missing a typhoon in Manilla, Dr. Paul Engle (USA) a 40+year Pastor/Veteran in the Christian forces landed safely in Iloilo, PH. Paul taught 2 courses over the 2 weeks he spent in Iloilo; The first entitled "Philippians: Methods of Bible Study for Preaching and Teaching" the second, "Strategic Cities in the Book of Acts: How the Church Expanded". Approximately 48 Pastors/Spiritual Leaders benefitted from Paul's insights.

This month, we are pleased to bring you his report.

Iloilo, PH.


	Dr. Engle Presiding Over His Class.

An excerpt from Dr. Engle's report:

The first week we had a class on Philippians: Methods of Bible Study for Preaching and Teaching. We worked our way through the New Testament letter, along the way illustrating several methods of Bible study and highlighting some book tools that facilitate such study. We were able to bring in some books from the library to illustrate.

During week two I taught a class on Strategic Cities in the Book of Acts: How the Church Expanded. We looked at Paul's methods and plan for planting churches in key cities, resulting in exponential growth so that by the 300's AD the church had expanded to much of the Roman Empire, perhaps having over half of the population Christian. Paul's methods inform how we plant churches today.


Filipino Pastors working through their lesson

This was helpful to pastors who after the class return to their homes scattered throughout the Philippine islands. Again they took with them their student workbook and many had copies of hundreds of the slides viewed during the course. Each evening Warlito also led the students in studies in Reformed theology. So we praise God for the impact this school is having in producing a growing body of Reformed pastors to teach the people in the Philippines.

Response From Pastors:

Mr. Nelson Gotera said, "The lecturer presented very clearly and powerfully emphasized the theological terminologies, history and significance of the books both the Philippians and the Book of Acts. I thank the Lord for it."

A pastor from Manduriao, Iloilo City said, "Praise God that I attended the Modular Class. I was greatly blessed by the Word of God that I can use in my teaching and preaching."

A young pastor commented, "My understanding of God and my attitude were changed because of the

lecture. I am greatly challenged especially the goal of Paul in mission."

Another Arminian student from Mindanao articulated, "This modular class is solid and pure that I cannot resist the teaching but to embrace it and I desire to grow more."

No doubt that both old and new students were rejoicing and thankfully praising God for the blessing of God's Word through this Modular class.
