Amazing Grace Concert in Dimantal, Bugallon, Pangasinan

It's been nine long years since I started to hear wonderful workings of God's grace in the church here and in the life of the Christians in this simple and far flung yet wonderful place. Wonderful in the sense that you'll truly marvel as you imagine how people really survive and draw joy and strength despite its geographical location. People are very warm and the brethren received us well. Literally, palatable food flooded us. The eating fellowship was like a typical barrio fiesta and it was really fun and relaxing. As the concert went on, the presence of God was powerfully felt all over the venue. The people's hunger for God's Word and presence was all the more inspiring. Christians from as far as Aguilar and Bani, Pangasinan also came to fellowship with us. After the concert, select young people and couple like us got to play a running game which is often played by grade school kids. That night, I realized all the more that Sim and I will always be a kid at heart. Praise God for the success of this event. To God be all glory and honor!
