In the Bible, we learn that God hates divorce. However, because of our stubbornness, unruliness, and disobedience, divorce was permitted during the time of Moses. In an ideal society, a happy married couple produces secure and loving children.

They spoke of their vast book collections, the excitement of book auctions, and the joy of

 Hope for the World Foundation isn’t just changing lives — it’s rocking them to the core! I magine a group of volunteers from all walks of life, getting together in sunny California, not too far from West Covina, to make a massive impact. We’re talking about millions of lives touched, especially in places like Palawan in the Philippines and Mexico. Lourdes Duque Baron , an award-winning author, actress, singer, film producer, and husband Dr. Robinson Baron , who’s like a Jedi master of robotic surgery, and Michael Gavrizescu , the lead singer and guitarist of Burning Red, a total rockstar all join forces to create perfect synergy for one of the biggest medical missions to happen this 2024. It was only last year when 325 residents of Bataraza Palawan benefitted greatly from the previous medical mission initiated by Dr. Robinson Baron in partnership with Rio Tuba Nickel Mining Corporation ( RTNMC) and Coral Bay Nickel Corporation (CNBC), together with Manila Adventist Hospital and Hope f
