 Title: When the Rains Come… So Does the Glory

The rainy season officially arrived here in the Philippines on June 1, and since that day, we’ve certainly seen the heavens open. The rain has been steady, at times unrelenting—flooding streets, saturating ground, and slowing down some of the normal rhythms of life. For a few days recently, the sun returned, breaking through the clouds and reminding us of God’s faithfulness. But as of this Wednesday, the forecast shows we’re heading back into another stretch of aggressive rainfall.

And yet, life and ministry go on.
The Gospel doesn’t wait for clear skies.
Hope doesn’t pause for better weather.

This past Saturday, August 2, I had the privilege of teaching a Bible study from Psalm 100:4:

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”

There we were, gathered in simplicity, with no spotlight, no stage, and no show—just a few chairs, open Bibles, and willing hearts. And oh, how the Holy Spirit moved.

People laughed. They listened. They responded. But most importantly, they encountered God.

One woman, in particular, came in carrying an invisible burden. Her face showed the weight of worry, her voice softened by sorrow. But by the end of that study—through the Word, worship, and the presence of the Lord—she stood transformed: eyes bright, heart full, lips declaring praise. What she once carried, she left at Jesus' feet.

That’s what your support makes possible.

Why #GivingTuesday Matters—Even on Rainy Days

Every week, and especially today on #GivingTuesday, we are reminded that we can’t do this alone. The roads are often muddy. The costs are real. The needs are constant. But the calling? It hasn’t changed.

People are still hungry—for food, yes, but even more so for truth. For hope. For something more than the brokenness they’ve grown used to.

Your giving helps us:

  • Teach the unchanging Word of God.

  • Minister to hurting hearts.

  • Travel to remote areas.

  • Provide materials, meals, and more.

  • Reach one more soul with the undying hope of Jesus Christ.

Rain or Shine, Jesus Still Saves

The clouds may gather, the wind may howl, and the rain may fall—but God's work marches on. And with your prayers, your partnership, and your generosity, so do we.

So today, we ask you to stand with us once again. If you’ve never given before, this is a great day to start. If you have supported us in the past, we thank you—and invite you to continue.

🛑 Don’t underestimate what your gift can do. One offering may fund a Bible. A ride. A meal. A miracle.

📍 Whether big or small, your generosity helps keep this Gospel going forward.

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
