In the words of Peter, though we do not have access to silver, or gold, nor endless resources, or an abundance of staff, we hold tightly and firmly to the love of Jesus, which is what we do have. From His steadfast love flows our diligence and drive to meet the needs in our community and the changing world around us. We are dedicated to the same generosity and zeal that the apostles exhibited in the scriptures, with our time and our resources. The grace and abundance that has been poured freely over our company, we freely give to our community, to our clientele, and to all of you.

Just a few weeks ago, a friend invited me to a worship service held at a house church, and I jumped at the chance to go. Like many of us, it was the first time I had been to a corporate church setting in forever, and by forever I mean since the fourteenth of last March. While I’m grateful for the existing online church platforms we have access to, and even more grateful for my pastors and their diligence to reach their congregations; I admit that I thought I might just cry getting to finally attend an in-person church service again.

Throughout the scriptures, Jesus proves to be an excellent storyteller Himself, using storytelling as His preferred medium of teaching. He utilized His words to reveal wisdom to those around Him, to convict the proud, and to uplift the hurting and broken. At EPAGA, we aim to do the same. We are asked to tell stories, just as Jesus did: our testaments of the miracles and transformation that He’s accomplished in our lives.

Let us not grow weary of doing good. Out of all of the emotions and feelings we can all testify to experiencing as of late, weary is surely one of them. Weary of the unknown, weary of the news, weary of facemasks, weary of the smell of cheap hand sanitizer... the list goes on and on.
