Easter is a special time for us every year to pause and refocus on what truly matters. This image touched us deeply:

An old gardener pulls seemingly dead branches from the ground in the spring, pruning and removing what no longer bears life. It looks barren—almost like a farewell. But then, weeks later, new life sprouts right where everything seemed empty. What appeared to be dead was, in truth, the beginning of something new.

That is what Easter is like. Jesus’ death on the cross seemed like the end—but was in reality the beginning of life. New life. Hope. Forgiveness. Restoration.

It is this hope that sustains us here in the Philippines—in our daily lives, in our ministry, amidst all the projects, encounters, and challenges. And we are incredibly grateful that you share in this—through your prayers, your support, and your encouragement.

We wish you a joyful and blessed Easter—filled with light, peace, and the deep certainty: He lives. And that changes everything.

Warm regards from:
Dagmar, Martin, Joel, Naemi & Josi
