The Full Armor of God

THE ARMOR OF GOD
Ephesians 6:10-18

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand ground, and after you have done everything , to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.”

A total wrecked of a brand new Toyota Grandia, triple somersaulting ,lost bag and celphone, two stitches and a cracked bone, thrown out of the van’s window, doing a superwoman flying like a frog. All these, cannot deter the CDO Lifeliners from doing the Lord’s command to reach out to the lost….
As the picture tells all, we are reminded to put on the full armor of God… The battle line is drawn.. The enemy is not pleased with what we are doing, and has devised schemes to hinder, distract, confuse, cripple and even death… But our God is powerful , more than enough to protect us… We ask for our prayer partners to constantly pray for our team.



Be Glorified LORD in what we are doing..!!!

Ministering to Two Areas in Less than a Month

CDO LIFELINE SERVICE TO TWO AREAS IN LESS THAN A MONTH

By Bebs Mendoza

Last April 12, 2008, the CDO Lifeline Ministry went to Basilisa, Dinagat Island Province for another free medical-dental mission. The team left Cagayan de Oro City at around midnight of April 11 and arrived Surigao City at around seven in the morning. A pumpboat ferried the team to Basilisa, an almost two-hour boat ride. It was raining during that time but the medical mission proceeded as usual. More than 400 patients were served with 187 medical consultation, 143 dental patients ( a patient has an average of 2 tooth extraction), 20 cyst removal, 86 circumcision, 2 burn dressing and 3 other consultations. A short program was held before the team left, with the town mayor gracing the affair, where the CDO Lifeline was given a plaque of appreciation.

The team had a good time of rest and bonding at the Maharlika hotel in the evening of April 12 and left for CDO the following day after the sunrise service.



Less than a month later, May 10, 2008, the team had a free clinic at Balingasag, specifically at MOIST (Misamis Oriental Institute of Science and Technology). There were 3 doctors for general consultations, one doctor for cyst removal, 2 for circumcision, and 4 dentists. An eye specialist served the eye patients and distributed free reading glasses.

All in all, there were 703 patients who availed of the full clinic.
Dental patients, 180, general consultation 379, cyst removal 8, circumcision 96 and 40 for eye consultation.



A sumptuous breakfast and lunch were prepared by the Valmores family, the owner of the school.

All of the patients heard the gospel before they were treated.

To God be the glory for all He has done.
