This is the way we should now organize the volunteer work. Not just working, but also promoting what we are doing to the people in the community. Even though Jesus said, “Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,” we are working for the glory of God and I think it is essential to find a way to reveal the glory of God through promotions and media presentation like this.
Through alll our efforts in the God’s will, We receive overflow grace more than we did. Thanks to God the Father and God the Mother who give us a great teaching which can change the world.
Our good deeds will be Mother’s fine linen. I want to give thanks and glory to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.
