Major Jaime and Lilia - Chuuk Corps

Good morning, Mark. 

This is in response to your message in facebook.

We had a very good Sunday worship and Bible classes last Sunday, February 7, at Chuuk Corps. Majors Wenjune and Noveminda Tanedo went to Wichap while Jaime and I took charge of Chuuk Sunday meetings. The day was started with a Bible Study on church leadership and cell groups. There were 55 in attendance including children. For the first time, the church members were divided into cell groups by area of residence. Four (4) groups were initially established, namely: Neotes cell group (Airam's compound); Iras/Seletiw cell group; Tunnuk cell group; and Nantaku/Mechitiw/Motolong/Sonofo cell group. They have chosen their own group leaders and these group leaders will be trained by officers.

The leaders chosen are as follows:

1. Neotes (A. compound) Cell group - Penita A., Sincerty S., and Lissy A.
2. Iras/Seletiw Cell group - Ranik O. and Mara O.
3. Tunnuk Cell group - Klyn W. & Seveno M.
4. Nantaku/Mechitiw/Motolong/Sonofo Cell group - Martina P. and Corps Officers

The following are the aims of these cell groups:

1. Winning new Christians into their membership
2. Caring for the weak members of the group
3. Teaching its members basic Christian living and worldview (grounding in the Word)
4. Providing members help and opportunity to build relationships with each other
5. Providing counseling and guidance in Christian living as needed
6. Providing motivation (encouragement) and creating vision in the minds of the members for serving Christ
7. Helping each member to develop their own ministry, including, for most, winning their own disciples
8. Providing a venue where young Christians can get supervised experience serving others, as well as coaching/teaching on sharing the gospel, and responding to challenges to their faith, and other ministry opportunities
9. Training new leaders for the cell groups

The above only shows that the members of Chuuk Corps want to grow spiritually and in quantity. Please pray for the leaders to be stronger in their faith in God and to be more inspired in their service to God.

After the Bible Study, we had Prayer Meeting attended by 65 people.

The Holiness Meeting was also attended by the same 65 people. Major Jaime shared the message and during the appeal time, there were 22 (#2) seekers and 1 (#3) seeker. During the message, Soldier Sincerty S. conducted Sunday School for children. There were 20 in attendance.

The Home League was divided by Major Novie into 3 groups to be in-charge of Sunday lunch. Group #1 was in-charge of lunch preparation and serving last Sunday. 65 people shared the lunch fellowship.

After lunch, we had Home League and Men's Fellowship combined. 23 women and 9 men. Our TLW consultant shared the importance of eating healthy food to prevent us from going to the hospital.

While the Home League & Men's groups are having a meeting, Major Jaime handled the children's Ukelele class with 20 in attendance.

Major Wenjune also conducted a Recruit class with 8 in attendance.

God is surely moving in the lives of our people in Chuuk Corps. We praise God and give Him back all the glory and honor.

Majors Wenjune and Noveminda will report on Wichap Corps.

May God richly bless you.
