Three souls were baptized in the Philippines in the first half of June 2023 – firstly, Sister Maria Samiento was baptized on June 3, 2023, in village of Bangkal, part of Davao City, Philippines, in the Mindanao Field, part of the Philippine Union at the IMS, while today, on June 17, 2023, two more souls, Brother William Roa and Sister Angel Bautista, were baptized on the same place, Pastor Nestor Manago who performed the baptism confirmed.

In the past, Sister Maria Samiento was member of the SDA Advent Church, however, she attended the divine services of IMS, received Bible studies and accepted God’s message about the Reformation, Pastor Nestor Manago added. Furthermore, despite of the heavy accident resulting in broken bones I had, I am now in process of recovery by God’s help and grace, Pastor Nestor Manago emphasized.
