Since we came back to the U.S.A. in September 2021, I have continued teaching and preaching through the book of Psalms via live-stream to our precious flock in Tuktukan for their Wednesday Night Bible Study.  I am thankful for younger and faithful men like Br. RJay Pagcaliwangan who can substitute for me as I travel since there are times when traveling and schedule changes preclude me from doing that.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click on the link below.

We will greatly miss our three-year old convert, Bro. Sefarino Pabroquez.  He opened up his heart to the Lord (Sept. 2019).  Immediately, he opened up his home for ongoing Saturday Bible studies despite the pandemic and lockdowns.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click on the link below.

Merry Christmas!  Thank you for faithfully doing ministry work week in and week out.  I know you do it as unto the Lord, and certainly all glory and honor belongs to Him alone.  I don't always get a chance to write, call you up, or even "drop in" for a visit but I always have you in mind - we pray for you always.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click the link below.

The church in Tuktukan, Taguig City is continuing on for the Lord.  New visitors are starting to come regardless of the lockdown status.  Since the status changes so much, the people are confused.  The believers though are not confused...

The Philppines is officially known as having the longest and strictest lockdown in the world.  Unfortunately, the COVID cases have spiked and continues to spike every day (upwards of about 9,000 new cases--mostly due to viral variants).  As a result, more lockdowns have been imposed including the prohibition of religious gatherings.   To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click the link below.

God is good and He certainly has blessed His Word.  The Bible studies continue weekly at Bro. Sefarino's house.  Rita's boys came a couple of times and heard the gospel.  On their third time there, they acknowledged their need to receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour.  Praise God!  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click the link below.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our faithful and praying friends!  With all of the uncertainties of these "last days" of apostasy, worldwide pandemic, and natural disasters, we can be certain that God is still on the throne!  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click on the link below.

Monsoons are large-scale sea breezes which occur when the temperature on land is significantly warmer or cooler than the temperature of the ocean.  The Summer Monsoon Season brings heavy rain and typically ends in October.  We had three weeks of heavy rain, but we certainly need it and are very thankful for it because this has already increased the Manila water reservoirs needed for coming months.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click on the link below.

What an exciting time to serve the Lord.  I think it is amazing considering how easy it was for nations to be locked down in the name of safety.  The enitre world was put on hold in no time.  Thermal scanners, government mandates, new norms, and the world-system carries on.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click on the link below.

We had just been granted a less restrictive community quarantine status on Agusut 1, only to be tightened for a couple of weeks from Agust 4-18.  The Metro Manila health care workers requested a halt because they are exhausted and the "Inter-Agency Task Force" along with the President honored their request and put the entire region back to the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine.  Once again, there was no public transportation and gatherings were limited to 5.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click the link below.

Another opportunity to proclaim God's Word came as a result of one of the ladies in our church fellowship inviting me to preach to her fellow workers at the police office where she works.  I was able to meet and befriend her superior, Officer Ekid, and his staff.  Pray that I may lead them to Jesus.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click the link below.

We looked up what God's churches did during hard times in the book of Acts, and we found these three things: 1.  They made sure that there was not "any among them that lacked." 2.  They were in prayer, "but prayer was made without ceasing of the church."  3.  The word of the Lord was increased, "But the word of God grew and multiplied."

The most unusual Mother's Day ever.  Certainly the pandemic did not hinder our love and prayers for our mothers.  First, my mom has undergone dialysis and although at first she was physically weak, she is now doing well.  What is even more exciting is that she has been able to watch our Sunday live-stream and thus hear the gospel.  To continue reading the update from Bill Hardecker, please click the link below.

Praise the Lord for two love gifts that came from our sending church.  Their generous and sacrificial gifts were used to ensure that none of the families and individuals that regularly attend our services go without food during our "ECQ" (enhanced community quaratine.)
