As the one-year anniversary came in the Philippines, Paul Burnham delivered the Sunday night message at Rose Hill Bible Church. "We need to recognize that the suffering that God allows has one purpose—to make each of us a better person," he said. "And you know, people can take everything else away from you. They can take you captive, they can take you away. But they can't take your faith away, they can't take your security away, because God said: 'I will never leave you. I will not forsake you.'" Other area churches held 24-hour vigils yesterday.
