It has been a blessing for me to live in this world and experience God's faithfullness in my life.
For the past 39 years, from the time I was born until now, I can say that God is always working in me. He always leads me and makes me strong in every step of my way. Inspite of all struggles and problems that I have experienced, I know there is always a purpose why God let them happen.
I can't imagine my life without Him, and if I will tell you the whole story of my life from the very beginning, I don't know how many sheets of paper I will use and how many tears will fall from my eyes every time I remember the past.
I am the first one who became a Christian in our family. I was 19 years old when I accepted Jesus as my God and Saviour. It has been a difficult part for me during that time being the only Christian in the family. The devil always finds his way to attack me and my family at that time, but gratitude to God, the devil will not succeed. The years passed my parents, and other siblings became Christians through continuous and intensive prayer to God. Later on I decided to leave my family and studied to be a pastor. But certain challenge arose, I didn't finish my study to be a worker of God that time, and it took years to overcome it.
Year 1994, I decided to settle down and have my own family. Seven years later, God gave us our only daugther. The years passed, I continued my study, year 2003 I graduated as a pastor and started to handle a ministry in Church of God World Mission International, Masipit, Calapan City. We are very happy having a ministry to God, but the time came that the churches need to change pastor. The overseer told me that I will be working on a ministry at another place, but I did not accept the offer due to some reasons.
So after 2 and half years of handling the ministry we left the church, I worked hard for my family to support them. I worked as a construction worker and finaly as a tricycle driver. I know it is not what God wants me to do, so I am working to earn financially. Me and my wife are still and always praying for God's plan.
And we believed that God answered our prayer. He used brother Joel as an instrument to meet the Sparrow Christian Foundation. This time I am on a second week of working in the Foundation, and we are continuously praying that God will give us a partner in ministry who can support us.
I am truly blessed and happy when I met the Sparrow Foundation and be part of it, and now we are praying that God will continue to bless the foundation and the people working in it that in turn will give way to touch others life.
To God be the Glory!
