How quickly the world has changed! The Philippines is currently under quarentine. In Cebu, this means only one person per household is allowed to leave the house for essentials i.e grocieries, medincine, etc. Work has stopped except for the few jobs that are deemed essential. In the Philippines, no paycheck can be just as scary as the coronavirus. Many Filipinos live day by day and losing their income becomes an immediate crisis. Our church has come together to help several families who need help through these dark days. No one knows how long this ordeal will last but I pray that Christians will be mindful of their neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family. Remember our Lord’s words, “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” May God use this time to strengthen the brethren and to reach out to a world that’s looking for hope!

Our youth workers, Ralph and Jean had a baby boy! This family has invested and loved on the teens for so many years. After church on Sunday the teens piled into the “truck” and we visited Jean and Ralph in the hospital. The saying goes, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Ralph and Jean have shown God’s love to our young people and it was a blessing to see the teens respond and exhibit their own love for their leaders. We thank the Lord for this couple and their healthy newborn baby!
