MARGIENARY

Now and then I suffer moments of doubts There are times when I just want to give up When pressures of life get me down When uncertainties assail my peace of mind That's when I hear my Jesus say... Chorus: Didn't I promise you That I will always be there for you You will make it through No matter how hard life seems to be Deep in your heart you know That I will always be right there. Now and then Frustration overwhelms me With my dreams that fail, heart that breaks Even at times when sin overrules I won't grow weary, never feel alone For the God of love always say...

Life is not a bore after all When You came to my life Everything for me was all In a clear perspective. After I accepted Your gift There's a joy like never before You turned my fears into strength And I've found out There is peace in You. Refrain:  Thank You for giving Yourself Thank You for saving my soul Thank You for the promise of tomorrow I never deserved this But You gave it all to me anyway. Now that I'm living for you I cannot understand some of Your plans But I am assured whatever happens You'll be with me all throughout the way. Coda:   I understood you died for me You paid my debts in Calvary I could never repay You For it's your blood that washed all my sins away.

Day after day I glory in your presence With the gentle touch Of the summer breeze The warmth of Your love As warm as the morning sun. Time after time I witness your show of power When thunder rolls When the earth shakes Your greatness, Oh God To nothing can compare. Refrain: That's the reason why I come before You Standing in awe of you You are the reason I live For without I am nothing But because of Your love I have everything. Coda: You are my God, I am Your child Into Your hands, I offer my life Make me an instrument of Your love That I may bring glory to Your name.

Five years ago, the Kalanguya Bible Translation Team was a one-man (I mean woman) team. I was the only one who was 'misguided' :) enough to commit my life to Bible translation. Now after five years, we are now five (actually 5 and a half) in the team. I praise God for my uncle Bagly Arsenio who committed his life to help the Kalanguya churches grow spiritually and be an active member in equipping and sending ambassadors to fulfill the Great Commission. He is now on a study leave taking up a master's degree in Community Development at Alliance Graduate School (AGS), Quezon City Manila. He joined the team in April 2003. I praise God for my sister Sarah (who finally came home to Bible Translation after six years of wandering in college (4 courses in six years) :). She joined the team in June 2003 and went straight to AGS to take the Diploma in Bible Translation. She is now the major drafter in our team. Pray for her as she grapples with the book of Jeremiah this year. ...

Some scenes from the Thursday-night weekly Students' Fellowship in CFM.

Every Sunday afternoon, sports events are held in CFM. University Students from the nearby street are invited to join the CFM residents in basketball and volleyball.

Praise God for leading 42 students into the heart of CFM this semester and giving us (The Kalanguya Translation Team) an opportunity to share our faith in Jesus with them. Last Tuesday, I met with eight girls for our weekly Bible Study. Here in the Kalanguya Center where the Kalanguya OT translation project is also being done, there are 42 college students, 16 men and 26 women. These 26 ladies were grouped into three and I am handling the 9 girls who have committed their lives to Christ and we are grooming them to be leaders of the Kalanguya singles in the near future. They are taking up different BA and BS courses in either of the two colleges here in Bambang town. My girls are Kassie Mariano, Lydia Dinggas, Marites Tamtaman, Marites Arsenio, Josephine Calpasi, Arlene Hilario, Marvy Puclalay, Fe Galwan, and Marilou Kindot. Pray for wisdom and open hearts as we study the Word together every Tuesday for the next six months. Pray also for the other two groups which are being lead by Sara...
