FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
Death of Local Elder
Mr. Ron Goethals died from leukemia after a short illness. He died in his
sleep without pain, Friday, December 18. Mr. Goethals was 44 and is sur­
vived by his wife and two teen-age children.
A baker by trade, Mr.
Goethals was ordained as a local elder in 1977 and served in the Sedro
Woolley, Washington congregation. He served very well and will certainly
be missed by all.
International News
Philippines Report November has been an eventful month, with the shocking
vehicle accident resulting in the death of Tacloban City Church pastor
Nicanor Enriquez overshadowing all other events. (Details of Mr. Enriquez'
death were published in the November 30 WORLDWIDE NEWS.)
The same week that Mr. Enriquez met with the fatal accident, Regional
Director Guy Ames had held a series of pocket ministerial conferences in
Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City and Davao City. Mr. Enriquez had come to the
Cebu City conference. Earlier, he had attended the last session of the
Ministerial Refresher Program in Pasadena together with his wife.
A fellow minister described Mr. Enriquez as "the most enthusiastic member
of God's Church" he has ever met. His death is truly a great loss to the
Church and Work in the Philippines, yet we know that God in His wisdom knows
best.
Taking his place as pastor of the Tacloban City Church is Mr.
Pacifico Mirto, concurrently pastor of the Cebu City Church.
In his meetings with the Visayan and Mindanao ministers, Mr. Ames evaluated
the last Feast and got their suggestions on improving next year's Feast.
Mr. Ames ended his Mindanao meeting with his first visit to Zamboanga City,
where he held a Bible study with 26 brethren and their families.
Later in the month, the most recent of the approximately 20 typhoons to hit
the country this year thankfully spared brethren from any serious damage.
