Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we understand systemic racism.

Hello my dear Colleagues! May God’s enduring love and tender mercies be your daily grace as we all go through this trying but exciting time. I just spoke to a p...astor partner of ours in Laguna, Philippines and tried to assess the condition of our colleagues there as they try to endure the lock-down Filipino style. I am saddened by the absence of help from the government as some bureaucrats even cited the separation of church and state as the reason for the govt. to ignore them. The sad thing is that the bureaucrat was even a pastor. Many pastors are independent and would not have a denomination to run to. At least their members are counted in by the Department of Social Welfare and the village officials for financial help and relief goods. But sadly none for the pastors. I asked the pastor how much is a can of corned beef? He said target brand is 210.00 pesos or almost $6 Cdn. But here in Canada I could get them at less than $3.00 including shipping. A can of Hereford Corned Beef could feed a family for two meals. A box of 24 cans will feed a family for half a month. But of course they will have other meals to eat for rest of the month. 10 families per door to door box can be helped. I discussed it with a shipping company and if we ship next week, they will get it by end of June. I propose we raise enough for 20 boxes. That will help 200 pastors and families hopefully until the end of this crisis. Each box will be $750.00. So we will raise $15,000 for this project. We have to move quickly to help them Thanks and God bless.
