21 Years of Journeying with Jesus

Two decades plus one year ago I was on my knees praying these words, "Lord, forgive me I have sinned against you. I believe Jesus Christ died for my sins and I accept him as my personal Lord and Savior..." The Apostle's John famous words were instrumental to my conversion to Christ. My father led me to the Master- Jesus Christ. As I look back I cannot help but be thankful to the grace, love and mercy God has bestowed upon me. This blog is a reflection, a discussion, a series of stories, a photo journal, a prayer, a testimony, a continuation of my journey with Jesus.


This is my way of saying "thanks" to Jesus for being there, for the unlimited grace He has shown through the years. My 26 years of journeying with my Master is not an easy one, it is marked with struggles and successes, pains and comfort, cries and songs, laments and psalms, of downs and more downs and eventually ups, burdens and blessings. If I would to summarize it, this blog won't be enough to thank Him for the abundance of His goodness and love.


To my Master, Jesus Christ -I'm forever grateful for the saving and sustaining grace you provide each day.

To my parents -Roel and Tina, thank you for leading a life that is Christ-like. I could not ask for more, your love for the Lord reflects your love for each other and your care for your family.

To my sisters Kit and Jireh, thanks for your understanding and for the things we have learned as we grow old. I develop my patience with both of you.

To Encounter SouthEast Asia Staff, I'm with you all the way until Christ comes or my time comes. hahaha Life and travel is sweeter with you guys around. Tugs, tugs, tugs... Ptr. Runnel and Ptr.Jerem (aaaayyyy, wait "bok" is better), mga 'bok' 'buong-pusong pasasalamat sa inyong pakikibahagai sa aking mga kahinaan, kalakasan at paglago sa aking calling.' Kelan tayo ulit mag-SOTB? hahaha

To Fusion Youth Ministry, thanks for having the opportunity to minister with you for the past four months. I have learned a lot and as I always say, I am blessed with your commitment to serve the Lord. Thank you Elder Laverne and Arnold- both of you are "real" brothers in Christ.

To YouthLink Ministries, I cannot explain how thankful I am to be guiding you during your pioneering stage. I am most blessed to see you continuing the ministry and multiplying disciples.

To all my friends, I cannot mentioned every one of you here. But I can assure you that each one of you has been of help on my journey in becoming more like Christ.

To my future disciples, this will be a testament of how God works meticulously in one's personal life. May you learn valuable lessons from this simple journey of mine.

To my dear readers, followers on facebook and twitter, people from around the world, thanks for reading my first post. May you patronize this blog. Let's have coffee sometime, okay?
