2020 Philippines Gathering

When your focus is on yourself, happiness is dictated by your situation. When your focus is on Christ, joy is found in every situation.

At their very core, church gatherings are not events held so that we can consume spiritual content. Church gatherings are an essential means of grace whereby believers worship and are equipped to live as God’s witness people in the world.

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers… all who believed were together… continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,” Acts 2:42-46 (New King James Version).

During our gatherings in the Philippines we praise our God, fellowshiped, teached, and was able to distribute books donated by author Charles Gwira.

“Unity is necessary to the outpouring of the Spirit of God. If you have 120 volts of electricity coming into your house but you have broken wiring, you may turn on the switch, but nothing works – no lights come on, the stove doesn’t warm, the radio doesn’t turn on. Why? Because you have broken wiring. The power is ready to do its work…, but where there is broken wiring, there is no power. Unity is necessary among the children of God if we are going to know the flow of power…to see God do His wonders.” A. W. Tozer
