💬 REFLECTION
Faith in action means caring for what God has made—because Creation care opens doors to share the gospel. In Masbate City, when we tend gardens, adapt spaces for all, or teach sustainability, we reflect the Creator’s heart and point others to eternal hope. This work links local service to the global “Share Jesus Together” movement.
