Anihan

Yesterday I witnessed the setting up of our church's outreach program, Anihan sa Bayoran. The program in a barangay in Quezon City to bring the message of salvation through Jesus among kids 12 years old and below. The workers in church were there early to prepare the venue, all wearing white top as dress-code. The day before, we had a meeting for orientation among workers and to simulate the games. Everything was organized for smooth, safe and blessed time with the kids. Our ministry heads made sure materials are ready and our hearts ready as well to serve Jesus.

I truly believe in this ministry as I was a product of an outreach in our barangay when I was little. I remember going to DVBS (Daily Vacation Bible School), for many 'childish' reasons:
1. Majority of my playmates were there
2. They gave gifts and food
3. People were nice


As far as I can remember, it was my first exposure to bible verses such as John 3:16. I did not yet accept Jesus then but I have learned that the Bible teaches about who God is. When I grew up and heard bible stories again in church, it was easy for me to relate that there's good in this. The Holy Spirit used His Word to change my heart and made me believe in Jesus eventually when I was 4th year High School.

Seeing this happening in church, I thought, wow! I am on the other side now. These kids in Bayoran, some of them may come to Jesus, now or later, as they hear and hear the Word of God --Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing; and hearing by the word of God.

Anihan or in english Harvest will continue once every month until November. I am excited to be one of the volunteers next month.

Soli Deo Gloria!

This weekend till yesterday I had opportunity to go to Hongkong and Macau for business & pleasure purposes with my nielsen family.  For 3 days we were able to do a lot of activities together. Adventuring what bus to ride, walk in the cold, get lost in MTR, tumawad sa ladies market, maghanap ng matinong cr. be amazed at buildings and infrastructures in macau, hundreds of picture taking, low batt, no load, shop! shop! shop!, awed with cable car, exercise your leg muscles, practice kindness, patience, love and most of all faith.    It was a mix of laugh, sigh, freeze, action and excitement.

Pictures coming in the next days. I just want to blog. I miss FB, Multiply, Gmail and chats. Ti...

Revisiting my old PUP

Yesterday, after a morning of doing home errrands on my work leave, in the afternoon I visited PUP Grad School to request for a copy of grades and as i anticipated, I would have to go to different offices to request for clearance signature for my request. So I went to library, accounting and cashier. I am no longer used to lining up to pay for school but hey I'm in PUP its a norm. As they say PUP means 'Pila Ulit Pila'. I got tired lining up so I had toknene(quail eggs) and sago't gulaman for merienda and then took stairs to go up to my beloved org, Kalasag Christian Fellowship, the IVCF branch in PUP. Thank God I saw familiar faces and so I went in the tambayan room. They were having exec meeting for 2nd sem activities. It was a blessing to meet them and witness that they are continuing on to do the good work. I remember my college days when I would spend my breaktimes in the same room. Revisiting my old PUP brought back memories of happy college life. Many structur...
