Message From\u00a0Pastor Edward<\/h4>\n

Pastor Edward shared an inspiring message. He stated, \u201cMost <\/em><\/span>of the residents suffers<\/em> from loneliness and missing their families. However, the Word of God says that the Lord Jesus is in their midst when we gather to pray for each other.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This profound message emphasized the importance of community and connection.<\/span><\/p>\n
