The church that we attend in Baguio just celebrated the 75th anniversary of its founding! Each Sunday of the month leading up to the anniversary, pastors and leaders from the church’s history came back and shared about their experiences at the church. It was a rich time of reflection, hearing of all the ways that God has worked in and through the congregation.
A few weeks later, while we were in the United States for CBF’s annual meeting, we had the wonderful opportunity to share with a children’s music camp about the work and ministry we are a part of in the Philippines. We also got to hear from the pastors and leaders of many of our partner churches about the ways that God is working in and through those congregations in the US.
These were such strong reminders of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, “You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.” God is at work all around the world. The Global Church is ministering in diverse contexts and in unique ways. We are grateful that we get to be a part of this body!
