After ten weeks of quarantine, the believers are excited to be meeting once again, even behind masks.\u00a0 Like many of your churches, we have implemented several precautions for our time of worship, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the last three weeks, Stephen has been teaching and, hopefully, encouraging the believers from His Word.\u00a0 It is both difficult for Stephen to teach wearing a face mask, and also difficult to know how the believers are receiving the Word, as he can\u2019t see their facial expressions.\u00a0 But this is just a small inconvenience compared to the joy of being together once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We certainly miss seeing the smiles upon their faces.\u00a0 As many of you know, Filipinos have the best smiles in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Is there a smile upon your face?\u00a0 We hope so!\u00a0 Especially as you gather once again with your home church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
