Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, It has been a wonderful 5 years of being an MPD staff. I would like to sincerely thank each of you for every experience shared, friendship made, opportunity offered and good times had. Thank you for partnering with God through the ministries I've been involved with.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of our Partnership team in our to the nations and I pray you all the very best in the from the Lord. I will be joining our local church ministries here in the Philippines as more doors are opening up to . Hence, I want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to each and everyone of you.
“Dear friends and family,” it read, “should I stay? Should i go? I asked myself the question again and again on our during our 7 day prayer and fasting. And as the days passed after that “I decided to consider this the same as we do any possible call to serve. I told God that, wherever He leads us, I would be willing to go or stay as He opened or shut the door. Such a prayer takes a lot of pressure off!
I began serving the Lord as a campus worker after resigning from my teaching career . Two years after being soaked in the youth ministry, the Lord opened the great big opportunity to serve Him in a totally unknown country of Laos. Where the Lord has taught me a bunch of things as a missionary, as a pastor and a son of him.
I want to give a BIG thanks to the Lord Jesus for His, and your goodness towards us in years that has passed. The year was filled with hard work seeing our church in Laos start from scratch and got birthed and is currently having three services at same time at three different areas in that country. “And, as you are likely aware, God opened the door marked, ‘Stay here first my son, I have things to do here (Philippines) through you.
"What can I do for the Lord? How can I serve him more?” these were the questions that I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on and during the months of wrestling with God “should I stay or should I go?”. I got myself so focused with the things that I want to do for him and I failed to see what God has been doing, what he wants to do IN and THROUGH my life.
- He is giving me the opportunity to learn more and gain priceless relationships with my new church Victory Greenhills .
- my Parents just declared that they want to be reconciled again and they need my help to find a place to stay as they start their new life together again.
- and last but not the least, the Lord has finally allowed me to meet the woman he has planned for me. Pursuing her, getting to know her more, preparing and planning aren't wise if I will go and leave. Her name is Aleli Galagnara.I am now preparing and saving up by faith for engagement and eventually getting married. please continue to include us in your prayers.
After months of wrestling with God. You now it didn’t became overnight and easy. I ad to fast and pray for a month. I started asking my leaders and the friends and people I know. And God started making me realize that it's not about me, not about what I want to do, otherwise it will be like how religion goes. But rather it should be the Lord's good , pleasing and perfect will. It's the season for me to stay here in the Philippines and help in a local church and the soon to be church planting in the city San Juan city.
For those of you who have been giving faithfully, I am so very grateful for you. I pray for you often and ask the Lord to bless you abundantly for your sacrificial giving.
May The Lord Bless us all as we serve Jesus together may you still be there by the time the Lord would call us back to serving him in nations, but next time around as a family! If the Lord would call us we would delightfully say yes to Him, meanwhile we want to embrace this new season He is calling us into.
The years I have worked here are very special and each one of you have helped to make it so. With your partnership, your encouragement and support, I not only performed my best, but also learned so many new things. I would like you to know that I thank and appreciate the all the love and support that you all have shown to me.Your genuine love for God and the nations.
I will really appreciate if you keep in touch with me.
