HOPE FOR THE WASTELAND
News would often feature people of interest like street children or garbage collectors. Watching from the television, one can have a glimpse of the people’s condition. Garbage collectors are extra ordinary people because of what they do. I mean who would like to do what they do? Who would dive into the mire of trash [...]
MY CITY CRIES OUT…. SO WE WENT OUT
I keep coming back to the very first message Jesus gave at a synagogue. Luke 4:18-19 (KJV), “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight [...]
THE BACK SCENE OF PASA LOVE EVENTS
Many have admired the PASA LOVE because it is truly inspiring. A lot of the things we do are uncommon for a church. What we do is not something comfortable. It is hard work and takes a lot of careful planning and preparation. We’re not perfectionist, but we always strive for excellence. We should because [...]
A DAY WE FORGOT OURSELVES
It’s never easy to forget ourselves. We live in a world where it’s all about us. In a world of consumerism, what we can get is the most important thing – not what we can give. But it’s different this day. This is the day where it’s not about us. It will be a day [...]
BLESS THE CHILDREN OF GARBAGE COLLECTORS
Philippines is a great country yet it struggles to provide a better economy for its people. There really isn’t anything significant changes to be able to provide a better living condition for the people. The gap between the rich and the poor widens still. A lot of people can barely eat three square meals a [...]

REBLOG: MOST & SOME
“We only go as far as we are stretched.” The distance of the arrow is largely determined by the strength the bow was stretched. I keep saying this to my team to inspire and challenge them to study and learn to improve both our lives and our ministry skills. I think it’ quite weird and [...]
UNIVERSITY of CORDILLERAS at Full Life!
I’m not quite familiar with how a university cares for their students when it comes to board exams. Although I am aware that when BAR exams come it turns out to be a fiesta. There are cheering squads, bands, and lots of food. I didn’t know that it does happen also to nursing students. Although [...]
RE THINK: Youth Ministry – Part 3
(This is the message/lecture given to a youth gathering in Dagupan City called JAM School (Jesus and My School) last June 13, 2010 at Gospel of Christ Fellowship Worship Center. I’ll divide this in three parts and hopefully churches and youth ministry may find this as something they can think about. I’ve also added some [...]
