The Time Is Now – Pastor Erton Köhler

We are living in one of the most decisive moments in history. The world has never been more informed, yet never more spiritually starved. People are searching for connection, identity, and truth, things only God's Word can provide. Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). The famine of our time is not one of resources, but of revelation. The world isn’t just starving for bread; it’s starving for the Bread of Life. Mission is heaven's answer to Earth's emptiness. In Southeast Asia, God is working powerfully. In Indonesia, the Church continues to grow through education, health, and digital ministry. Young people use online platforms to share hope. In the Philippines, when natural disasters strike, members become first responders, offering food, shelter, and comfort in Christ's name. Media ministries are now reaching millions every week. The time is now to pray boldly, to live faithfully, to serve joyfully, and to share courageously. Fix your life on Scripture and keep Christ at the center. Let the greatest message on earth live in you before it lives through you. Stop waiting for perfect conditions and act with perfect conviction. Light begins when the Word enters. Every time you open your Bible, you open a window to heaven.
