Missions....

Last week, our church was reminded that our head pastor from the Philippines is coming to Seattle. The head pastor( my uncle) Danny Calamiong is the leader in charge of the whole IFGC church branch in the Philippines. He oversees 13 churches all around northern Philippines. He comes to Seattle almost every year. He gives us reports on how the churches are doing and their needs. He is a very active servant of God.

He is coming next week and I am very excited. He is an inspiration and a great example of a leader doing Gods work.

The church has made plans to make this month and the next month(I think) called "missions project"
A project in which most of the activities of the church will be about ways to bring
notice of the work of the IFGC Philippines and their needs.

For example the church activities will benefit to recognize, aid, support, fundraise for, and help in any way to the work of the IFGC churches in the Philippines.

As for the youth in our church, we are challenged to make programs to fit the "missions project'' and be creative in making special events and activities.

I think this is a great opportunity because one of the youths' plans are to do something for the Phil. churches and people. I think my youth leaders and even the youth members will be blessed by doing this task because

-Its always great to help others
-It makes what were doing feel important and worth it.
-It helps raise awareness of peoples lives, culture, and struggles in a different country.

Doing missions work is always a great and noble act for a Christian, because its a way to show Gods love to others.

I will update soon, for what the youth has come up with.

God Bless
