Christianity in the Philippines week 14

             I learned on how missionaries during the time of American managed the missionary work. They are in unity of making an agreement to each denomination. They divided the works for the each group. one group in Luzon, Other in Visayas, and also in Mindanao. The influence of the American in the Philippines is the separation of State and the Church. There work is important at those time because they are educating the people about the truth in the Bible. Through them the Bible was made available to the native people. Christians must have a servant heart that ready to do and served other people. They change the life of Filipinos before. I Thank God because of What they are done before and it's effect continue today even in my life.  
Modernization and Missions week 13

         During this week we discussed about the Mission work of the world. I learned about the life of Hudson Taylor, D.L. Moody, William Carey. They are doing missionary work in other countries even if there many struggles but they still survived. Hudson Taylor was doing mission in China. He was able to adapt the culture of the Chinese people. Even he struggle in evangelizing for many years without convert but still he did not stop until there are people came to know Christ. William Carey's life impacted me the most. I see how God preserved him that even His family was gone but still he do his work for the sake of the gospel. In spite of what happen to his family, He still managed himself in his walk with God and Do the mission work. For me it is important to manage my walk with God  and I am praying that God will guide me by His Holy Spirit to always Trust Him in times of the dark age in my Life. He will guide me in my future ministry.
The Reformation Age, Week 12
During this time, Marriage is arranged with the Parents. They must know each other and they must respect each others feelings. It came to my minded that they have high regard with the feelings of the women before. in our time today, women are not highly regards. They used women for their lustful desire. Some of the married women are bitter of their marriage because they are victims of being betrayed. Before even if it is arranged marriage, they have respect each other and they value their marriage. This is my realization that i need to know will about my partner someday and pray for her. It is by God's grace that i know how to respect girls.
