🌧️ BEFORE THE RAINS COME — WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW

In just a short time, the rainy season will begin in the Philippines on June 1, 2026. Last year, Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of nonstop rain, flooding, mudslides, sickness, damaged homes, food shortages, and families struggling simply to survive another day.

And now… it’s coming again.

This is why we are urgently asking for your prayers and support BEFORE the storms arrive.

Many families we minister to live day-to-day with very little reserve. When heavy rains come, entire communities can be overwhelmed almost overnight. Roads flood. Homes are damaged. Children go hungry. Illness spreads quickly. And those who already have little are left with even less.

🙏 We are trying to prepare now rather than react later.

Your support can help provide:
🍚 Emergency food assistance
💊 Basic medical needs
🏠 Help for displaced families
👕 Clothing and supplies
🙏 Ongoing ministry outreach and encouragement

No gift is too small when placed in God’s hands.

Please prayerfully consider supporting the ministry’s GoFundMe campaign and helping us reach families before this year’s rainy season begins.

🌿 AS THE SECOND WEEK OF MAY 2026 UNFOLDS…

As we move into the second week of May 2026, our prayer for you is simple, heartfelt, and sincere:

🙏 May you be SAFE in a world filled with uncertainty.
💪 May you be STRENGTHENED for every challenge ahead.
🎯 May you remain FOCUSED when distractions surround you.
✨ May you stay EXPECTANT, believing God is still working behind the scenes.
⏳ May you learn PATIENCE in seasons where answers seem delayed.
❤️ And above all, may you remain THANKFUL for the blessings you already have.

Life moves fast. The pressures of work, family, finances, health, relationships, and the uncertainty of tomorrow can wear heavily upon the heart. But even in difficult seasons, never forget this truth: God has not abandoned you.

Sometimes the breakthrough comes quietly.
Sometimes the answer comes slowly.
Sometimes the strength arrives one day at a time.

But through it all, God remains faithful.

As you begin this new week, take a moment to breathe, pray, refocus, and thank God for carrying you farther than you thought possible. Every sunrise is another reminder that His mercy is still new every morning.

You are stronger than you think.
You are more blessed than you realize.
And your story is not over yet.

📖 GOOD ENOUGH WITHOUT JESUS?

“Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.” — Job 13:19

One of the greatest deceptions of mankind is the belief that being “good” is enough to stand justified before a holy God.

People often say, “I’ve never killed anyone. I try to help others. I live by the Golden Rule. I do more good than bad.” In other words, many believe their morality outweighs their sin, and therefore they have no real need for Jesus Christ.

But God’s Word says otherwise.

The Scriptures plainly declare that “no man is justified before God by the law.” No amount of self-effort, charity, kindness, religion, or personal goodness can erase sin. Isaiah understood this when he cried, “I am a man of unclean lips.” The closer a man comes to the holiness of God, the more aware he becomes of his own spiritual condition.

The world says, “Be good enough.”
God says, “You must be born again.”

Ephesians reminds us that salvation is a gift purchased through Christ. Romans 10:9-10 declares that salvation comes through confessing and believing in Jesus Christ. John 14:6 settles the issue forever when Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Without Jesus Christ, we are spiritually bankrupt. Without Him, we are separated from God, regardless of how “good” we appear outwardly.

Jeremiah described mankind’s self-righteous efforts as “filthy rags.” Why? Because salvation was never meant to be earned—it was meant to be received through repentance, grace, faith, and the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

The question is not, “Am I better than someone else?”
The question is, “What have I done with Jesus Christ?”

📘 YOU SAY THIS… BUT WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT IT? — A Book for a Generation Searching for Truth

In a world overflowing with opinions, trends, influencers, and “personal truth,” one question still rises above them all:

“But what does the Bible say about it?”

The video preview for James Langston’s powerful and thought-provoking book, You Say This, But What Does the Bible Say About It?: … thirteen questions the church can no longer avoid …, is more than a book trailer—it is a wake-up call to believers, seekers, doubters, pastors, students, and everyday people wrestling with the collision between culture and Scripture.

This book does not seek popularity. It seeks truth.

It tackles difficult questions many avoid discussing openly:
• Is the Church compromising with culture?
• Are feelings replacing biblical conviction?
• Have traditions overshadowed truth?
• What happens when society says one thing—but God’s Word says another?

With clarity, compassion, boldness, and biblical precision, James Langston challenges readers to move beyond opinions and return to the authority of Scripture. This is not about attacking people—it is about awakening hearts.

Whether you are a longtime Christian, a new believer, someone questioning faith, or simply searching for answers in a confused world, this book will challenge you to think deeply, pray sincerely, and examine everything through the lens of God’s Word.

📖 Available now on Amazon in Paperback, Hardcover, and Kindle eBook:
You Say This, But What Does the Bible Say About It?

Please watch, share, repost, and help us get this message into the hands of people around the world who are hungry for biblical truth in an age of compromise.
