HARDECKER HEADLINES
Independent Fundamental Baptist Missionaries to Taguig City, Philippines sent by Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Brogue, PA
Praise Reports:
1. Praise God for saving souls. We rejoice that a
man came to faith in Christ after the AM ser-
vice. Pray that he would grow in grace and
follow the Lord in believer’s baptism. Addi-
tionally, a young girl who sought to be bap-
tized was lovingly confronted and led to the
Lord. Now, she is able to get baptized along
with her mother. God is good!
2. Praise the Lord for believers who desire to
grow and obey the Lord Jesus Christ. A lady
we led to the Lord back in April, started faith-
fully attending all the Sunday services and has
also expressed a desire to follow the Lord’s
command to get baptized.
3. Praise God for new friends who love the Lord
and can speak a good heap of English.
4. Praise the Lord for opening up for us a new
supporting church. Praise Him for Tabernacle
Baptist Church, Quincy, IL and Pastor Gary
Zdziarski. We are amazed at how God pro-
vides all things for us at just the right time.
God is good!
5. Praise the Lord for a sweet time of fellowship
and study with Pastor Thomas Strouse and
the good folks of Cornerstone Baptist Church
in Quezon City, and many more brethren
from other cities and islands.
Prayer Requests:
1. We conducted our first in-home evangelistic
Bible study of the year. Two attendees be-
lieved in Jesus. Please pray that they would
continue with us. Pray also that a husband and
wife would be willing and able to come.
2. Please pray for the Lord to bless our first year
anniversary services to be held on March 11.
Pray for souls to be saved and for God to be
glorified in our special Sunday services.

A Ladies' Prayer Meeting and Day Out:
Marcia and some of the
ladies that have been faithfully
attending our church-fellowship
were able to spend some time to-
gether praying and enjoying some
time in town. God is good and we are Left to right: Lot, Mona, Bambi, Mercy, and
thankful for good friends. Marcia - Mercy came to know the Lord as her
Saviour two weeks later! The rest of the ladies
all profess to know the Lord as their personal
Saviour.
Our First-ever Drunk Visitor:
I remember reading missionary letters back when I was associ-
ate pastor about certain folks interrupting the service due to drunken-
ness. Well, I can now join the club! Seriously though, it is a heart-
breaking experience to see such a sad and sorrowful manifestation of sin.
But there is hope because God is in the changing business. Please pray
that the man would return sober (just as he promised) and that he would
find the LORD to be the answer that his soul is looking for.
A Baptismal Meeting Turned to an Evangelistic Meeting:
We carefully go through at least two weeks of meetings with
each baptismal candidate partly to go over each individual’s questions
and testimony of faith among many other things. A 10-year old girl could
not share a clear and certain word of testimony during our first meeting.
Her mother, thankfully, testified of her faith in Christ, and she was willing
for me to talk to her daughter about salvation. Afterwards, the girl re-
ceived Jesus into her life. On our second meeting, both of them gave a
clear testimony of salvation and both of them are able and willing to get
baptized. We have our second baptismal service scheduled for Sunday,
April 15. Pray that a couple more prospects would commit to following
the Lord in obedience to His mandate.
LV Put His Trust in the LORD:
He was contemplating converting to
Islam but he came to our AM service a
few weeks back and got saved. Now he
attends our fellowship. Pray for Bro.
LV to continue to grow.
We now have two videos featuring Bible Question & Answer in Tagalog specifically
for Filipinos. You may visit Facebook.com/mzbmp to view them.
