The Lord's Chief Cook "in time"  Pastor Lubiano and some of the people from his church in Iba, Carlito's birthplace, have come to Davao City to serve in preparing all of the food for the pastors in attendance at the numerous "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" conferences conducted over the past 15 years. This particular conference was in October 1998, as Pastor Lubiano takes a moment to pose for a picture with Pastor Eugene Udell, the pastor of New Beginnings Church in Little Rock, AR, and Samson Harris, an Evangelist and member of the Bible Doctrine Church in Little Rock, AR. Pastor Lubiano's wife was with him this trip and shared with us that he has not been well physically for several months. She told us his prayer is simply that the Lord will let him live just one more year so he is able to cook for the pastors at one more "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" conference.
Let's visit while we eat. Pastor Lubiano and Rev. Ric Webb, Associate Pastor at the Bible Doctrine Church in Little Rock, visiting with the pastors as they break for lunch during the October 1998 "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" Pastor's Conference, held at the Immanuel Baptist Church in Davao City.
Pastor Lubiano's Cooking Team  During the many "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" conferences these folks have prepared a lot of food. All prepared over open fires. There have been several conference at which we had over 100 people in attendance, and this team cooked three meals and prepared snacks for the morning and afternoon sessions for everyone for five days.
The Bible Doctrine Church of Davao City  June 6th, 1999, the day of dedication and celebration of the establishment of the Bible Doctrine Church of Davao City.  The day was especially blessed by the presence of two visitors from the U.S., Dr. James A. Brettell, on the left, and Dr. Robert Buchan, standing behind Pastor Eser B. Pedres.
"Water Baptism" Not long after becoming the owner of this Mitsubishi L-200 pickup, I was given the opportunity to travel to Malaway, south of Malita in Davao del Sur.  This was the second mountain stream we had to cross after running out of "road."  I was informed the road is there, it is just under water all the time; the depth of which was entirely dependent upon how recently it had rained.  The carpeting inside only got a little wet on this crossing.
The children of the  Mountain Dew Bible Teaching Church  Here are just a few of the children who are a part of Pastor Fede Andoy's ministry in the hills above Tibungco, Davao City.  Pastor Fede's wife, Daisy, and Pastor Lubiano's daughter, Fely Bignay are the teachers.

Visiting Pastor Fede in 1993 Dr. Jim, Beverly (Webb) Haney, Jean Polter, and Carlito Dadula, sitting in Pastor Fede's living room, sleeping room, and church, all-in-one, in his house in Lanang.  Evangelism meetings were held each evening in the Lanang area that year to help Pastor Fede establish a church.  That church is still alive today, but in a different location.  The people of the are were relocated to the hills above Tibungco, so Fede moved his family there in 1998 to continue pastoring that church.
"Taking aim" Dr. Jim takes some time to get down on his hands and knees to play marbles with the kids as we visited Pastor Fede in the Lanang area in the spring of 1993.
