23 July 2011 - Special Prayer Request


Departed
Tibo passed away in the Philippines. Please see the note from Archdeacon Anthony Pangsiw of the Philippines:

Greeting you in the name of our Lord Jesus. Just now I arrived from Ducot, Tublay for a prayer request by an old man who is known to be a popular pagan religious leader. According to his sister, when he felt that he was getting weak, he instructed his sisters and children not to allow pagan services to be conducted when he died. Instead, he requested them for a Christian service and denounce in front of them all the ritual activities and belief he performed during wake when he was strong including the putting of traditional blanket and clothes for pagan religious leader requesting them for plain white instead.

Today is my second time to go for prayer upon his request. When I arrived at 11:00am, he extended his to me and asked for a prayer with a clear and loud enough voice. Before we started our service, I instructed him to denounce all his pagan faith and belief, repent them and accepting Jesus as his Lord and Savior in which all he positively responded. 30 minutes after we concluded our prayer service, he blow his last breath and gave up his spirit. The name of the old pagan religious leader is Tibo, the elder brother of our member Ella Kellasi at ST. Paul Mission at Ducot, Tublay. The power of the Holy Spirit.

In Christ Jesus;

+Anthony
