KNJ continues to draw more people closer to God and reaches thousands of people online. We hope to reach out to all Methodist churches and families to help them become truly KASAMA NI JESUS.<\/p><p>First, through the <strong>printed copies of Kasama Ni Jesus <\/strong>which comes out every two months. This daily devotional is great for personal meditation, family devotions, care groups, and small group meetings.<\/p><p>Second, through the <strong>KNJ audio devotional.<\/strong> This is a recorded audio read by women of The Sandmeier UMC in PAC, and shared on Facebook and text messages.<\/p><p>Third, through the <strong>KNJ Midweek Prayer Circle<\/strong> via zoom, using the weekly study guide. This has attracted a regular following from around the country and some from abroad, which now constitutes a praying community that meets every Wednesday, beginning in 2021.<\/p><p>Fourth, the <strong>KNJ Devotional Writing Workshop.<\/strong> The workshop participants produced more than a dozen devotionals, written in Filipino and English, which we hope to publish in the KNJ and also share with The Upper Room Ministries.<\/p><p>Fifth, a <strong>website for KNJ<\/strong> is in the process of development, and subscription may now be accessed online! We hope this will make our spiritual formation program more interactive and accessible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae8f6b7
