You should have seen Sampaloc Bible Church (SBC) last Sunday during our worship service. The stage was like an island, slowly sinking in the middle of the flood.

In my 18 years in SBC there was only one time we had to "cancel" the service because the hall was already flooded when we got to the church after braving the typhoon.

Yesterday, it "almost" happened again. Well, God is gracious to give us a couple of hours to "offer" our sacrifice-filled worship, at least from the handful of brave souls who made it to the service.

The streets surrounding the church were flooded almost to the chest (if you're lying down hehe, joke!). Really, streets, especially Espana and Morayta, were so flooded and unpassable. Well, you can, if you swim :)

We had visitors from Canada yesterday. They were blessed to see our "situation" here. And even agreed with us that God wants us to transfer to a better place. They expressed commitment to be partners with us in the ministry.

I always say, "wet or dry, God is good!" He is our refuge and strength. It was heart-warming to be reading Psalm 46 at church in the middle of the flood and the raging typhoon. It was a literal "preach-the-Word-in-season-and-out-of-season" experience for us.

God be praised! In season and out of season too!
