First Sabbath Offering
Sabbath, September 5, 2026 Bible Missionary Training School in the PhilippinesAs we are reminded of the great commission to go into all the world and make disciples, we are to take action. The Bible Missionary Training School is an institution dedicated to preparing and equipping workers for the Lord’s vineyard. Since its founding in February 1984, this school has been a beacon of faith, shaping the hearts and minds of those eager to spread the gospel to all nations. Many students who have completed the two-year missionary training program this institution offers have gone on to become missionaries abroad, and several are leaders and ministers spreading the message of salvation throughout the densely populated islands of the Philippines.Located in Cabatang, Tiaong, Quezon Province, Philippines, the Bible Missionary Training School has tirelessly worked to provide a solid biblical foundation for aspiring missionaries both in the Philippines and throughout the Pacific Region. This facility has provided a place for students to stay, learn English and to be trained as missionaries, canvassers, health workers and administrators so greatly needed in this country and abroad. It has also served as a facility where training seminars, youth conventions, and conferences can be held.As the work of reformation has grown throughout the Philippines, expansion and improvements of this facility are now urgently needed so it can continue to serve the needs of God’s cause going forward. In light of these needs, plans are also underway to hold a General Conference Session right here at this very institution. What a blessing it would be to host this gathering of believers, where visions for evangelism and spiritual revival will take center stage!Your generous First Sabbath School Offering today will be instrumental in building the much-needed expansion for this institution. As we give, let us remember the words of 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”May your gifts uplift this school, empower its mission, and bring forth workers ready to proclaim the everlasting gospel. Let us give with faith and joy, knowing that our contributions will bear eternal fruits for God’s kingdom.Thank you, and may the Lord bless you abundantly as you give!
Your brethren in the Philippines
