Good morning Faith Family!
Today we have a few people celebrating their birthdays: Pastor Greg Agngarayngay, bro. Rene Garcia, and bro. Eugene Corpuz. May the Lord's mighty hand continue to protect and direct you according to His will and grant you good health and success all the days of your lives!
Here are a couple of things today:
Oak Park's shelter-in-place took effect midnight last night. This is a euphemistic term equivalent to a lockdown. We may be seeing more of these soon. California just did last night too.
As you gather your families for prayer, please remember to pray for the following in addition to our healthcare workers: families going through stressful times, people who have lost a loved one because of the virus, hope and healing for those who are currently infected and are suffering, an antidote vaccine to be discovered soon and finding drugs that will counter or neutralize the effects of the virus.
Shekinah and I will be traveling to Olivet Nazarene University today to pick up her belongings and books. Please pray for us. Keep the faith. We shall overcome by the grace of God. Here's part of a passage that we looked at last night with our children:
"And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia." (1 Thessalonians 1:6,7)
In times like these, let's be an example to all in faith and in living out the gospel with the joy of the Holy Spirit. God bless!
