Scripture reading this morning is going to be Ephesians 2 verses 14 to 18. Let's all read this together, please. For he is our peace who hath made both one and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us, having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace. and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby, and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Amen.

But because Operation Christmas Child, the gift boxes were brought to the area, and as a result, a church was built. It's slippery, it's muddy, it's physically challenging. We appreciate our ministry partners and volunteers in this area who hike for one and a half hours every Saturday to go and teach the children in Barangay Tibkif. I'm a pastor here at Graceville Baptist Church, in the area outreach of Graceville Baptist Church. We were encouraged to keep calling people, because we don't know how to open up to people here. People don't come to us just to get a patty. It's about their poverty, it's about their situation. And here comes the Operation Christmas Child. It opened a door for us. The greatest journey The greatest journey. So, we saw a lot of parents who joined. And then, that's the beginning. I gathered all the parents and we will have our own Bible classes. The ministry is growing every day. When I was young, there was no church there. There were no people there. But now, there is a church there. Many people go to church there. Through Operation Christmas Child, we see how evangelism, discipleship, and multiplication is taking place. Each of these gift boxes is a gospel opportunity that reach the children in the remotest areas of the Philippines. you God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
