A few items before we get going this morning. I do want to remind you, like normally on the Sundays that we celebrate communion, we take up an offering for the Agape Fund, and you'll have an opportunity to do that after the service as there should be an Agape Fund box in the lobby as you leave this morning. And over the last 3 weeks, including today, every penny that is given to the Agape Fund. is going toward the relief effort in the Philippines, the part of the Philippines that has been hit very hard by the terrible storm that struck a few weeks ago.
And we have some contacts there with the Master's Academy International, Shawn Ransom, Vince Green, who will be over there, and Pastor Celso. These are individuals that you've met. they will take every penny that is given and put it towards helping the churches there and also enriching the capacity of these churches to minister relief and help to the needy in the name of Jesus. So this is the last Sunday in which your offering to the Agape Fund will go towards that effort in the Philippines.
So if you want to give to the Agape Fund, you can just You can put it in the offering bag and just put on the memo line Agape Fund, and we'll make sure that gets to the relief effort there in the Philippines. You can put that in the bag, offering bag as it goes by this morning, or you can put your gift in the Agape Fund box in the lobby, OK. Well, there's a few other things, but I think we'll save some of this as we go. But let me, let me invite you to turn in your Bibles to Numbers.
Numbers chapter 13. You may say, where is numbers? So just go to the beginning of the Bible. and you have Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus....
