Thu, 18 Dec 2025 13:54:03 +0000 Kalamazoo Filipino SDA Company Benefit Concert http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68638 Our Kalamazoo fellowship has long prayed for a permanent home where God’s work can flourish. As our members—from children to adults—serve through feeding programs, campus ministry and nursing home visits, we’ve seen God’s blessings and steady growth. With our borrowed worship space no longer meeting our expanding needs, our longing for a true, dedicated place of worship grows stronger. To support this vision, we are holding a Benefit Concert: a musical offering to inspire hearts and raise funds for our church building project. Your generosity makes a difference—please note that all donations to our group are tax-deductible for federal tax purposes.
