We are called by God to be stewards of the single men and women in Quezon. Being leaders in our community,
God is asking us to allow Him to work in us. He is asking more than our skills but our hearts. And by giving Him
what He wants, only then He could work through us and give us the desire and power to do His plan. By trusting
Him with our hearts, we can fully affect our area.
