What started as a survey of where our church members are residing provided opportunities to share God’s love and reach out to the city–one barangay at a time.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” — Psalm 127:1 With this verse as an anchor, our church in Las Piñas prayed for wisdom on how to best serve the people in this city.
From the start of the year, we gathered our key leaders and formed volunteer teams into three clusters that will cover and serve each barangay in Las Piñas. Each cluster will serve the city by praying in faith, moving in hope, and expressing love to the areas assigned to them. The three phases, faith, hope, and love, have also become our way to determine the specific needs of each cluster and how we can preach and demonstrate the gospel to them.
Currently, Brgy. Pilar, Las Piñas has requested assistance towards mental health awareness in their small communities. Part of our service includes HOPE (House of Prayer and Encounter), where we reach out to residents through organized house visits and gatherings, to pray for them and share Jesus to them.
In all these, we believe that God has more great things in store for the city of Las Piñas—by faith, we hope that His love will be magnified and glorified.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13 ESV)
