The NorCal Echo Conference was a beautiful reminder that “Hope Abounds” when Christ is at the center of our lives. Inspired by Romans 12:12 — “Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer” — our community came together as one family, from Couples to Youth, Singles to Handmaids, Kids to Campus, and Servants, united in faith and mission.
The Missionary Families of Christ proudly presents the “Sound the Trumpets” Songwriting Competition, a powerful celebration of faith, music, and creativity.

Good day, brothers and sisters in Christ. My endurance in affliction was several times in my life. My first encounter with Jesus was when I got sick with leukemia. He taught me how to endure all the trials of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant. My faith was big. I stayed in The Netherlands about 6 months for treatment. I prayed and worshipped God every day. He visited me once during my first chemotherapy, and He’s so loyal.
As I reflect back on my journey last March 22, 2025 for a mission to help facilitate a Christian Life Seminar in Alamagordo, New Mexico, I was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude. The experience I have encountered while bringing people closer to God have transformed not only the lives of those we served but also my own.
MV Retreat Reflection by Tracey Sibayan
“I urge you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship.” - Romans 12:1
“Not only that, but we boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint , because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” - Romans 5:3 - 5
As for most retreats, I am clueless to what will happen, but I knew that there was something that I was longing for. This longing stemmed, not out of emptiness, but out of this quiet, yet eager expectation that there was something that God wanted me to see during the weekend. Besides this, I was also excited as the theme for this year will revolve around one of my favorite theological virtues to ponder: hope.
