(1354) MUSIC AND ME (Jan. 26, 2017) GUITAR AND CHESS SET DONATION TO FISHERMEN

The brethren of Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) Palau Locale has donated a lot of things to the Filipino fishermen caught fishing illegally on Palau waters since November 2016.

But the most important donation that they do is spreading to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every Sunday afternoon, they are doing their service there on board of the big boat where 5 crews were apprehended earlier and a month later, a smaller boat but with 18 crews.

An accoustic guitar was donated to them in December while I donated a tournament size chess board in 2nd week of January 2017. The captain and engineer of the big boat, 3rd from right in this photo, can play chess really good.

I played with him one Sunday afternoon while waiting for the brethren and he held his ground till the start of the Sunday service.

All of them were baptized with the 11 being baptized on Christmas day 2016. I told them that I was baptized also on Christmas 2005 so it's easy to remember the day of the salvation of our souls.
