Theophania in Philadelphia--why the name?

You may be wondering about those Greek words in the title. One of which should be pretty familiar.

Philadelphia, φιλαδελφία in Greek , means to love (phileo) a brother (adelphos). A lot of us know already know: "The City of Brotherly Love."

Theophania, θεοφάνεια, is a Greek female name--which is translated to Tiffany in English. Theophania means "God's appearance" or "God's manifestation."

Therefore, as I, Tiffany spend my time here in Philadelphia as a Ministry Intern, I look forward to sharing ways of how God manifests Himself in Philadelphia.

God's Manifestations (Theophania) in the city of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia)!

God is manifesting Himself in Philadelphia, and I look forward to seeing more and more!!

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God...This is how God showed his love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him." I John 4:7, 9
