According to Jim Gomez and Joeal Calupitan from the “Associated Press,” the southern Philippines experienced a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Monday, June 7. Several buildings sustained heavy damage, a tsumani was reported, and a landslide was triggered (Online Article; Update from 7:54 a.m., June 8, 2026). We are asking our faith family to unite in prayer. Below is a prayer from FMC Asia:

"Dear Heavenly Father,

"We come to You with heavy hearts for the people of the southern Philippines after this morning's magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck off General Santos City and Sarangani. You saw every home that shook, every family that ran for safety, and every heart gripped by fear.

"We pray for those in the coastal communities under tsunami warning. Guide them safely to higher ground, and hold back the waters. Be near to the families searching for loved ones, bring comfort to the injured, and give strength to the rescue teams, local officials, and volunteers already at work even as the aftershocks continue.

"Father, today is also the first day of classes for so many children. Watch over the students, teachers, and parents, especially the little ones who woke up excited for school only to feel the ground move beneath them. Calm their fears and keep them safe.

"'God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.' (Psalm 46:1-2)

"In the middle of the shaking, remind our brothers and sisters in the Philippines that You do not move. Surround them with Your peace, draw communities together in compassion, and restore all that has been lost.

"We place the Philippines in Your hands, trusting in Your steadfast love and care.

"In Jesus' name we pray,

"Amen."

"Together, side by side, we are living stones building up the temple of God, because we are not just filled with His Spirit individually, but collectively. All who were kept out have been invited in by grace through faith, and only together are we built up into the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13)" (Bishop Kaye Kolde).

"No matter how hard it is to decide when the time is right, trust and wait on the Lord. He will lead you, and He never makes a mistake. This doesn’t mean you won’t experience grief or doubt, but the certainty that God is with you — and you are doing His will — is what sustains you" (Robert L. Marshall Jr.).

As we navigate the complexities of our modern world, having a solid foundation rooted in timeless principles becomes increasingly important. The Free Methodist Way provides such a foundation, offering us guidance through five core biblical values. The values are life-giving holiness, love-driven justice, Christ-compelled multiplication, cross-cultural collaboration and God-given revelation. Each value works together, empowering Free Methodists to live authentically and serve our communities with purpose and love.

By embracing these values, we not only deepen our relationship with Christ but we also make significant contributions to our world. These values encourage us to live in a way that reflects the love and grace of God, fostering a more compassionate and just society.

Discover and share more about The Free Methodist Way with an inspiring selection of videos, articles, and resources at https://buff.ly/6EH2qJP. These tools will empower you to continue making a meaningful and lasting impact for God's Kingdom in local communities and around the world.

FREE METHODISTS are first and foremost a Kingdom people. Yet throughout church history God has raised up distinct movements like ours to enrich the larger
