Filipino Canadian Catholic Charismatic Prayer Communities
(FCCCPC)".

There is no shortcut to following Christ. On the streets of Jerusalem where Jesus walked and carried the Cross there are several corollary pathways. It is like a maze of crisscrossing streets that seemingly lead to nowhere. When I was there with some pilgrims who took turns in carrying the symbolic Cross on the way to Calvary, I noticed that if I walk there alone I will be lost. Hence, it is important to listen and follow the guide's instructions. It is the same with our lives as Christians; we sometimes are tempted to take the shortcut to avoid the heavy traffic and noise of life's challenges. But we know from Scriptures what Jesus said;" I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." It's Jesus' Way. Someone said that the favourite theme in Hell is "I " did it my way". It is therefore imperative that we walk with Jesus and with fellow Christians.
John Dunn once said: "No man is an island. No man stands alone." We all need one another. I am very happy to see Charismatic Groups from different parts of Canada united and walking together in faith. With the Holy Spirit guiding us, there is no way we will be lost in the maze and daze of world's challenges. As they say, "United we stand, divided we fall." Keep up the good work for we have a friend in Jesus. Albert Camus once said: "Do not walk ahead of me for I may not follow, nor behind me for I may not lead; walk beside me and be my friend. " What a friend we have in Jesus!

I would like to praise and thank God for all His infinite goodness especially for the opportunity He has given us to serve Him through FCCCPC. Truly, serving God is a privilege; an opportunity. Ultimately, this will be our greatest accomplishment at the end of our journey in this world.
Now that we already have the website, our ministry will operate more efficiently. Our communication will be faster and our ministry of evangelization is no longer limited here in Canada but also abroad.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow servants in the community for working so hard and diligently to have our own website.
This website will also be a tool for everyone to share our wonderful experiences of God's Love. Tobit chapter 12 verse 7 states It's a good idea to keep a king's secret, but what God does should be told everywhere, so He may be praised and honored (Good News, Today's English Version). Witnessing God's Love is all what we need in this world today. Just send us the miracle God has done for you and we will post it here to bless, inspire, and to tell the world that God is real and at work; His love and mercy is from generation to generations.
May the God of all grace give us peace and joy in our service for Him.
All for God's greater glory!
