Laboring with Brother Fadri are the lay preachers and lay Bible workers. Special mention must be made of Rene Fiesta who left his own community and brought his family with him to Tagok to work enthusiastically for the salvation of the families who are living among the hills and valleys of Kabankalan municipality. Eleven more souls are being readied for the next baptism in June at the forthcoming Sabbath school and MV rally.
