They must least learn to endure trials, Brother Santiago said citing the Bible, as they lead an upright life for doing so will strengthen their faith and their hope for salvation.

Instead, I will make them my inspiration to become more active in attending the worship services and to be steadfast in the faith that I have received.” ― With reports from Rose Pearl Peralta of INC News Section
