Our Mabuhay Women’s theme for Christmas was John 8:12. We read Mathew 2:1-12 seeing how the Wise Men followed the star to seek Jesus. Today, we too should seek Jesus with our whole hearts. Our activity was making Christmas Parol’s with basic items at home. The parol is a Filipino Christmas lantern that is beautifully decorated.
It’s almost December and our Women’s Ministry is preparing for our annual Bible Verse Challenge ! We challenge the women to memorize the 12 Bible verses from our monthly services this year. God’s Word is powerful! Committing His Word to memory is a great way to help people. When the challenges of life come, they have God’s Word in their heart.
Since before the pandemic we have been having weekly staff meetings where we all check in and share how our week has been, as well as sharing any exciting news/updates, and discuss any challenges and share ways to move forward. It’s always nice to see everyone’s smiling faces!
Thank you to everyone who continues to support and pray for our ministry. We are truly blessed to know you are with us!Our team was able to go house to house this week to visit the kids and give them their Bible Verse Page and Devotions Booklet for the month. The kids still need to remain at their houses and will be able to submit their answers to us online.
Our Women’s Ministry focus this month is prayer. As a craft we made Prayer Jars. Each found an empty container or jar in their home and decorated it using items they had. We then wrote out things we can pray for and put them in the jars. They are simple prompts that can be used during prayer times. Colossians 4:2 “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” (Maging matiyaga kayo sa pananalangin, laging handa at nagpapasalamat sa Diyos. Colosas 4:2)
Our current Mabuhay Kids Church series is all about the Armor of God. We are learning what it is and how God designed it to protect us. Using sports illustrations and talking about how different sports gear protects us, we are learning the different parts of the Armor of God.
Our heart is to be a model that trains, equips and empowers Filipinos to reach people for Jesus.
