At PGIO, we often see struggles, resilience and hope in the lives of those we serve. But this past weekend, we experienced something truly special — a surprise visit to a local church where some of our beneficiaries worship. What we witnessed was a powerful display of faith, gratitude, and joy that left us deeply inspired.

Finding Joy in Worship

As we stepped into the church, we were immediately embraced by an atmosphere of celebration and thanksgiving. The congregation was singing, clapping, and dancing — not because life was easy, but because they were grateful for what they had.

Many of these families face hardships, loss, and uncertainty, yet their faith in God remains unwavering. They weren’t dwelling on what was missing; instead, they rejoiced in His blessings. Their gratitude was contagious, reminding us that true happiness isn’t about material wealth but about a heart full of faith.

Called to Be More Than Good – To Be Godly

The visit reminded us of an important lesson: we are not just called to be good but to be Godly. True service isn’t just about giving — it’s about walking in humility, love, and faith.

Seeing the congregation’s trust in God, despite their challenges, renewed our own commitment to serving not just with resources, but with compassion and purpose.

Meeting the Community: A Moment of Connection

After the uplifting church service, we had the opportunity to meet and interact with the congregation, including our beneficiaries and their families. The warm smiles, heartfelt conversations, and shared prayers created a deep sense of connection and purpose.

Each handshake and embrace reinforced why we do what we do – because empowering communities isn’t just about providing aid, it’s about standing with them in faith and support.

Leaving With Full Hearts

As we left, we felt a profound sense of fulfillment and joy. We had come expecting to witness gratitude, but in the end, it was shared with us. Their resilience and faith serve as a beautiful reminder that hope is never lost when we put our trust in God.
