ORDAINED MINISTER TESTIMONY
I was born on April 16, 1981, and the only child in the family due to my father’s early death when I was only eight months old. Despite my chronic illness, the good Lord has gifted me with many skills like carpentry, electrical-related works, masonry, plumbing, cooking, driving, animal raising, and arts and crafts. I love playing basketball and going out with different types of people. My friends usually described me as resourceful, creative, and long-suffering.
I am a physically sick person, and I have suffered painful experiences throughout my life. But God is faithful and merciful to me, which keeps my life going as a Christian. I am empowered by Him every day to do things beyond my ability. My wife, Shim Rose, and I have two lovely children, Shiloah and Jephthah.
I learned the Lord through the faithful witnessing of the Rubrico Family and their Christian friends. I am a working student in that family, and they keep showing me the love of Jesus from the Bible, their daily living, their priorities, and how they react to a particular situation. My conversion is a slow one. I have difficulty accepting the new faith due to pressure from my family and my personality. But by the grace of God, I was converted at age 18 and started serving the Lord as a witness to my peer groups in an informal way.
I received the call of God when I was 21 and enrolled in a Bible School for equipping. I do church planting work as a student, and God blessed it. Right after I graduated from Bible School, I got an illness that took so long to be identified by the Doctor. It is a chronic allergic pharyngitis. I was forced to rest from my ministry for one year, not knowing when I could recover. But God has a purpose for me and my family. He is preparing us for more excellent ministry than I have now.
Doing the ministry in my country is both an honor and a challenge! I live in the Western Visayas Region of the Philippines, and people living here are usually religious but polytheistic. Whenever we bring good news to the people, they are generally receptive and show interest but retain their former traditions and lifestyle. Despite these situations, however, the power of the gospel is far more potent than our inherent loyalty to our traditions so that God’s work keeps growing and transforming our culture into a God-glorifying lifestyle.
