La Comunità Filippina.

Ringraziamo il Signore perche Egli ha provveduto a sostenere l'Associazione mandando una serie di credente Filippini che regolarmente ci portano messaggi di edificazione molto toccanti.

Infatti da qualche mese a questa parte metà dei frequentatori sono filippini per la gioia di tutti noi. Il fratello Olimar, Mani, ma soprattutto George hanno predicato chiaramente il messaggio della Buona Novella, e sono sempre a disposizione di tutti per un qualsiasi aiuto pratico. Ringraziamo anche Eduardo & Jocy e i loro due bambini , e Robert per il loro amore verso la fratellanza.

Prega che il Signore ci aiuti ad essere rivestiti  "...della completa armatura di Dio, onde possiamo star saldi contro le insidie del diavolo..."  (Ef. 6:11) poichè siamo circondati da un nugolo di miscredenti. Grazie.

In Remebrance of Rosita.

"Precious is in the sight of GOD the death of a believer". (Psalm 116:15)

 We are so sorry to announce that Rosita Rosella is no longer with us!

Rosita was a wonderful person (above photoes left and right), we don't say this because she's no longer with us, but because it is true. She was the very first Filipina who attended an Acap meeting right at the beginning when it was held in Via Suor Celestina Donati (Pineta Sacchetti area), she was very impressed by the free help given to the needy along with preaching the Gospel, so she shared Acap with all her friends. Later (early 2003) she brought Armand, Josie and their family and George Cadag, from there the Filipino started to hear about Acap... by the end of 2004 all Acap was composed by Filipinos! Thanks to the Lord...and thanks to Rosita who was used by the Lord. Rosita was a Bible believer, she never missed an occasion, while talking to me, to point out the grace of God and the truths of His word. Around January 2006 she started suffering a lot for a breast tumor and was hospitalised various times. I met her several times in the streets, and I visited her in hospital just a few months before her death: we shared for an hour God's grace and talked about the Bible and her sickness, and prayed. My impression was that she was sure to be in the hands of the Lord whatever would happen to her, and that was an amazing testimony to me. Rosita died in November 2006 in the Philippines. We thank the Lord for her witness and encouragement to all of us, and we pray for all the members of her family and friends. It is certainly a loss for Acap, but the Lord knows what is best for each and everyone of us.
