Cathedral of Praise in Manila (formerly known as Manila Bethel Temple, the “Christ is the Answer Church”) will be distributing aid to members of A/G churches here.Pastor Danny Arceo, a credentialed Assemblies of God minister who is also the vice president of the Development Bank of the Philippines for Southern Luzon, wants to use our church network here to dispense 2 million pesos of aid from his bank. Obviously, our churches and members will benefit from this. Also, Convoy of Hope USA is sending six pallets of water filters, tents, and tarps by Federal Express, which will hopefully be in our hands within 10-14 days. They are also sending two men next week to train local pastors and members in the use of these filters, which will be set up in Assemblies of God churches throughout the region. This will give the churches another form of outreach into their communities. The tents and tarps will be used to provide temporary shelters, with our pastors probably receiving top priority.

I'm not much for reviewing books I've read but this one really hit the clash cymbal in my soul! thanks to Shane!

This book as it professes will disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. It's time to stop being self-centered Christians and live by loving God with all and loving others...
