2. The Master’s Community Fellowship Annual report 2011
January 3, 2012
My fellow slaves in Christ,
Greetings in the name of our Master, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !
This is the first ever annual church report since we began The Master’s Community Fellowship
in February of 2010 and by God’s grace certainly not our last. The purpose of the annual report is not
to blow our horns and boast of our accomplishments but rather to inform and reflect on the goodness
that God has bestowed over His ministry every year. It is also my desire that this annual report will
help encourage you to become more active in church activities realizing that indeed God has blessed
us so much as we see him doing great things in our midst. This report will encapsulate church and
ministry activities and will be posted in our church bulletin board and website.
“Till I come, give PREACHING THE WORD ONE VERSE AT A TIME
attendance to READING,
DOCTRINE and As you all know our church motto is “Reaching the WORLD
EXORTATION.” by preaching the WORD one verse at a time.” We are so glad to
have made a commitment to preaching the word verse by verse
- 1 Timothy 4:13 since we started. It has been such a blessing and a thrilling
experience. We started off with Mathew chapter 1 and continued to
Read the text, Explain the text, preach verse by verse through the book of Mathew every Sunday,
Apply the text, that’s what except on certain special occasions. We ended the year 2011 in
expository preaching is all about
Mathew chapter 9 and will hopefully work our way to the middle of
Mathew’s Gospel by the end of this year 2012. Personally I have
been so blessed to have studied the book of Mathew and I’m sure you have all been blessed as well.
Please pray for our steadfastness in our commitment to expository preaching.
FULFILLING THE GREAT COMMISSION
Jesus last instruction before he left was to make
disciples of all nations. Sure we recognize the importance of
evangelism but we should certainly not stop there, hence we
remain committed to a structured discipleship program. We
kicked off our discipleship program in April of 2011 starting off
with Module #1, which focused on the topic introduction to
discipleship and the subject of how to become a real disciple
and on salvation. We ended the year almost finishing Module
#7 on the subject of the church. We have also tackled
subjects on New life in Christ, eternal security, Baptism, How “Go therefore and make
to Study the Bible and prayer. We have been utilizing existing disciples of all the nations,
available discipleship materials available for download in the baptizing them in the name of
internet but have expanded and revised some of it to add the Father and the Son and the
some inputs. Our discipleship materials are really a work in Holy Spirit”
progress. Exams are scheduled after 2 to 3 lessons to gauge – Mathew 28:19
if indeed the concepts in the lessons has been absorbed. It is
my desire that in the near future the materials will be compiled so that it can be used by those who
have finished the discipleship modules when they want to disciple somebody else or will be used by
another church if they want to start a discipleship program. I look forward in the near future when
those who have undergone the discipleship course will start doing one on one discipleship on their
own. Our discipleship program is from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. every Sunday. Average attendance for our
discipleship program is from 15 to 20 every Sunday. I sure do hope and pray that all of you who are
attending our main service will start attending our discipleship program because in the discipleship
program we start with the basics of our faith and progress to more advanced topics. By the end of the
year 2012 we hopefully would want to complete all modules if not almost finish it. Some are
requesting that past modules be made available. So hopefully by the 1 st quarter of 2012, we will be
uploading the materials in our website and will be compiling it into leaflet/notebook format, so please
pray for this. Those who have requested to take the previous exams, we will schedule it soon and will
also schedule a mastery exam.

EXISTING AND NEW AVENUES OF MINISTRY
You all know that we started off initially with the Children’s
ministry which is named as “Train a Child Ministry” way back in
2009 and God has been so good and has blessed the Children’s
ministry so much. They had their second year anniversary last
February 2011. Life skill classes are conducted almost every
Saturday from a wide variety of topics while children services are
conducted every Sunday at 4 p.m. Average attendance for the
children’s service is 30 to 40 every Sunday. Train a child ministry
has so much activity each month that I could not write about all of
them here. You can visit the ministry website at
www.trainachildministry.com or perhaps they might be able to
come up with their own annual report. We are praying that we
could start a BLESS (Basic Life Empowerment and Support
Services) which will teach children basic English literacy in 16
weeks. The program has been used by several evangelical
churches and has been very effective also in opening doors for
evangelism to the kid’s parents. So please pray for this planned
project.
A new avenue of ministry CHURCH IN NUMBERS
that has opened up for us is in (Based on last quarter 2011
the young people’s ministry. estimates)
Children above the age of 12
would no longer fit in the Average Adult
children’s ministry so a new attendance in 15+
door for ministry has opened discipleship
up. More than 10 of these
children have been
transferred to our youth Average Adult
ministry which we are calling attendance in 35+
as “The Master’s Youth.” The main service
youth program kicked off in
June of 2011. I have Average Master’s
delegated this area of ministry 20+
to youth leaders who have Youth attendance
regularly attended our
morning services. The next Average Children’s
months after it started the Worship Service
young people’s programs attendance
30+
seemed to be going nowhere
until sometime in September 2011, I told the youth leaders to
follow the discipleship program. I am not directly involved in the Sunday after Sunday running of the
youth ministry but have delegated the discipling of the youth to youth leaders who have undergone
the discipleship program and are mature enough to handle this area of ministry while I just serve to
guide the youth leaders. In the next months after September, “The Master’s Youth” has progressed in
the discipleship program. They ended the year finishing Module #1. They also had their first every
Christmas party which was filled with much fun last December. Attendance has risen from an average
of 15 to about 20+ every Sunday afternoon. Other young people who are not once part of Train a
Child Ministry have been regularly attendees.
It is my prayer that as the church grows, new avenue of ministries may be opened in order that
those of you who are in the body of Jesus Christ may exercise and serve the Lord with their spiritual
gifts. In the near future God has laid a burden in my heart to start livelihood seminars that would invite
people in the community while at the same taking making this as an avenue to share the Gospel and
disciple people for Jesus Christ.

ATTENDANCE, BAPTISMS, SERVICE SCHEDULE AND OTHER MATTERS
Although we have not constantly kept tracked of our main
service attendance in 2011, The Lord has been blessing us and
has increased our numbers. When we started off in 2010
average attendance is less than 10. In the 3 rd and last quarters
of 2011, average adult main service attendance is now more
than 35. About 60 % are old believers. There are some of these
who are members of other churches but have stopped regularly
going to their churches but were revived to go back to church
when we opened up in the area. Others are regular church
attendees from other churches but would like to fellowship with
us for various reasons. About 40 % are new believers or
attendees.
Although I am personally happy with the growth in attendance, we however need to remind
ourselves that the best measure of success in God’s ministry is not the number of people in
attendance but the number of real disciples but we have presented the figures in order for us to know
how our church is growing to encourage us. However let me emphasize again that no amount of
attendance can ever be construed as a mark of success. In the eyes of God, the real committed
disciples and true worshipers matters more to him than the number of church attendees. It is my
desire that this will be your prayer as well so we hope that you keep this in mind when you invite
someone to church. The objective is not to boost attendance but to disciple people for Christ.
In the year 2011, 6 new believers have followed the Lord in
the waters of baptism. We make sure that the reason for being
baptized has been properly explained first before believers are
baptized. There are those that have not yet been baptized and I
do hope that within this year we can schedule another Baptism
so that those of you who have just become new believers will
testify to the whole world that you have indeed surrendered your
life and would like to be identified with Jesus Christ through
baptism.
Some have suggested that we should integrate the Master’s Youth to our Main service, but we
do not have space anymore as our present worship center can
only accommodate around 40+ adults which is our average
attendance already. If we integrate the Master’s Youth we would
reach about 60 already although some of youths including youth
leaders are attending our morning services. So we are praying
that we may be able to transfer to another worship center which
is just a stone’s throw away from our present one. Since it is a
garage it will just need a little bit of construction work. Hopefully
by this year 2012, we will be able to move there.
Since it is not very practical to hold Wednesday prayer
meeting services as we only have 5 or more in regular
attendance, we have dissolved our Wednesday prayer meeting
services in the third quarter of 2011 and have integrated the
prayer meeting in our regular Sunday services. Prayer meeting
is either on the 1st or 2nd Sunday of the month. But it is moveable
to other Sundays depending on the situation.
Last February 2011 we celebrated our 1 st year
anniversary. Our speaker was my father in law, Pastor Eddie
Gerodias Senior pastor of Bible Baptist Church San Carlos City.
Please pray as to who our speaker will be for our second
anniversary this February 2012.

GIVING AND FINANCIAL MATTERS
Since the start we have practiced free will giving and have
been so blessed. Our total offering has reached P 27,795.00 for FINANCIAL FIGURES
the whole year 2011. (including some gifts from outside the SNAPSHOT
(Excluding outside giving)
church as indicated in the attached report) Take note that this
does not include my family’s personal offering. Being a business
person means I am having my own personal income, I do not Average
draw any sort of salary or allowance from the church. I am offering P 400+
mentioning this as I have heard that some are reluctant to give Per Sunday
because I as a pastor do not need salary since I am earning
income. With more reason that you should give freely as
everything you give in our church will certainly be devoted to the
Average
ministry of the church. On a personal note, of course I believe that Offering P 1,700+
full time pastors should derive their means of living from the Per month
church as this is biblical, but since I am not a full time pastor and
that God has also blessed me and my family financially that is Average
why I do receive not any sort of salary or allowance from the expenses
church. Our total expenses for the year reached P 24,916.00
P 2,000+
leaving us a balance of P 2,879.00 in cash. Since it cannot be
Per month
afforded by the budget of the church our electricity and office supplies are sponsored while our rent is
free as well. Details of our offering and expenses are attached at the end of this report. It is my
prayer and earnest desire that our offering will increase more in 2012 in order that we might do more
for the work of the Lord.
“Upon the first day of the Overall 2011 has been a great year. We look forward to
what God has in store for us for the year 2012. We pray that God
week let every one of you
will guide us in everything we do as we make plans for our
lay by him in store, as activities and programs for 2012. Let us continue to strive as one
God hath prospered him, body in Jesus Christ to Know more about God through His Word,
that there be no Grow more in our Christians faith and Go and make disciples for
gatherings when I come.” Jesus Christ and may we be united in this ministry as we continue
to reach the World by preaching the Word, one verse at a time.
