Beyond Tangible Hope

Beyond Tangible Hope

  • April 11, 2024

On March 17, 2024, a fire broke out in Barangay Alabang, Muntinlupa City, causing over 900 families to be displaced and lose their homes.

Our volunteers were quick to respond to their call for help as they repacked and brought hygiene kits, prayed for, and ministered to the fire victims.

During our outreach, we also had the privilege to pray for our Barangay Chairwoman. One of our faithful volunteers, Rea, who is also a fire victim and a part of the community, volunteered to serve the children. Rea boldly preached the gospel to them and organized various activities for them in the evacuation center.

While hygiene kits and other relief efforts may come to an end, we are confident and sure that something far greater is being birthed in this city—something that will outlast a lifetime—the gospel of Christ. It is the love that meets us in our darkest, and the love that shines through us—making our city one that stands on a hill; a beacon that cannot be hidden.

Let us continue to pray for our communities and cities, that no further fires will cause such devastation. But ultimately, let us press on bringing them closer to Christ, the One in whom hope will outlast our lifetime.

Hope from the Ashes: Helping Las Piñas Fire Victims Recover from A Tragedy

Hope from the Ashes: Helping Las Piñas Fire Victims Recover from A Tragedy

  • March 8, 2024

With March as a Fire Prevention Month, continue to pray for our nation’s protection from further devastating fire incidents.

Just over a week ago, a second-alarm fire struck the Maligaya Compound in Barangay Pilar, Las Piñas City.

This fire tragically impacted 30 homes, displacing 125 families and roughly 400 individuals. Thankfully, there were no reported casualties or injuries. 

An overwhelming number of volunteers from various organizations across the city joined forces with us—including the body of Christ in Las Piñas.

We are also grateful for our leaders who readily offered help and provided meals to those affected.

What a sight of grace to behold—that despite the tragic event, we were led to an open door, an unexpected opportunity to demonstrate and proclaim the gospel. 

We were also given the privilege to pray for and minister to our barangay officials.

May our hearts of compassion continue to burn with fire, to be vessels of things of eternal worth, unlike a physical fire that consumes and destroys.

Let’s continue to stand in prayer and faith together.

  • Pray for our second wave of efforts to provide counseling and medical support for the fire victims.
  • Pray for continued protection and recovery for the affected families. Just recently, another fire broke out on Wednesday (March 6) morning, displacing another 170 families.
