yesterday well we have a very attentive and focused security team with us and we thank god for that they're taking care of us in terms of our protection security even when we move from place to place yesterday on the road we started out very early in the morning in order to get to mvc and as we were climbing up the mountains and i must say both nancy and i very much appreciate the beautiful landscape of mindanao as we were climbing up the the mountain and towards mvc uh we came to an area where and it was you know early in the morning but traffic there unfortunately there was someone who was traveling on the road and apparently swerved a little bit a tricycle and as they swerved one of our vehicles had to try and avoid hitting that person and in doing so breaks had to be applied we were in a very nice van that was being provided for us but unfortunately in in avoiding this accident there was another small accident and uh our van hit the car in front of us praise god there were no uh uh injuries that were incurred major damage no major damage there was some you know a little bit of rumpled uh metal but that can be fixed correct and uh we just praise god that he saved our lives and provided safety but especially the quick thinking of the driver in front of us who avoided great injury and possible death for that person on the tricycle so we praise god and we're all in good shape no problem we praise the lord for his safety in fact this morning coming from the guest house and our entryway there i just felt impressed to pray for our security team and so we prayed together asking for god's blessing and protection for them and uh even this morning you know the lord guided us when you're moving quickly through traffic and you can't get too used to that because you know you move with a security detail and they can really open the traffic at home i'm not i'm not used to that i have to stay in all the right lanes but uh the the lord protected us even this morning and so we had prayer and i just praise god that we were able to avoid taking any life hurting anyone and we're in good shape praise god praise god and thank you to our drivers and to our

locally i know you have been blessed with a lot of messages by pastor ted wilson since his arrival last wednesday and this morning we would like to give you a perspective of a viewer of a listener physically here in spuc church garden church and we have with us sir roy paris the um the isp president it is the is iceberg what is ice p stands for zero adventist international health system philippines incorporated so he will be representing the entire adventist hospitals in the philippines and this morning he is going to talk about his impression his reflection and his views about the messages of pastor ted wilson thank you charm this is a bit difficult putting me on the spot anyway thank you for being supportive thank you following through the messages of undertale there is attack on my top of my mind he talks about the second coming he talks about the great controversy the emphasis on i will go and i can see and i can feel the nearness of the coming of jesus through the messages of elder 10. in fact in one of my zoom meetings with dr ryan of the gc during the esi coordinating committee elder ted was there he challenged us to take a look to be engaged next year for an aggressive and deliberate or highly intentional on the distribution of the great controversy books and i can see not just the passion but the high energy of ted wilson as he travels to mvc considering at his age and his structure is structured but then he is very still strong and passionate and thank you very much alerted for visiting adventist medical center valencia and uh supposedly he should be on his first day with us at illigan but due to the constraint of his schedule and time would not warrant anymore but even but bottom line we all praise god for the blessing of his presence and visit to all of us here in mindanao both physically and virtually thank you very much thank you so much sir roy perez and one thing that i remember during pastor ted wilson's message yesterday in mountain view college was he said you are in the mountaintop but you have the duty to go down to the metropolitan and to the city and we have to willingly say i will go and right now we have pastor ted wilson again for his message this morning thank you very much charm for your introduction and for the very nice way in which you have hosted us today in taking us from one part of this vast south philippine union to another part pastor kaderma thank you so much for your hospitality you and your officers and this magnificent staff of the union and the local fields i was thrilled thrilled to be able to see visually on video some of the magnificent territorial areas of this union though i haven't been there yet charm one of these days by god's grace we may get there but what a privilege to be able to see the people the construction the mission outreach the committed individuals in these wonderful fields and the beauty of mindanao unbelievable beauty in fact you know all these eight conferences and missions the north central mindanao conference central mindanao mission north eastern mindanao mission davao mission northern davao mission zamboanga peninsula mission western mindanao conference southern mindanao mission i mean eight of them what a tremendous opportunity to have god's work penetrating every single one of these areas and yes i saw some interesting demonstrations of new costumes that i need to wear not just a barong i saw a magnificent explanation of how god's special offerings from the 13th sabbath have helped to provide for god's continued movement throughout this tremendous union i want to welcome every single one of you who is online i understand there are about 500 of you online i praise god for every one of you thank you for what god is doing through you to touch the hearts of people in this vast south philippine union in fact as i understand it the proposal has been made to divide this union so that two unions will be established of course it has to find its way through the process a special uh survey team needs to look at things working with the division and the general conference because adding a new union is something that the entire world church does you see the general conference has as its foundation unions unions make up the essential constituency of the general conference and divisions are divisions of the general conference administering that territory in that region and what a privilege it will be to see how god will open the way for advancement in this union in fact i was remarking to some individuals one one mission itself which we just saw portrayed on the video the membership is larger than one of our divisions that we have i just praise god for the way the holy spirit is moving in such a dramatic way in the south philippine union over 700 000 members this is truly the hand of god you know this morning brothers and sisters wherever you may be here in this beautiful garden church and again i have to tell you i i mentioned it when i first came here and spoke two days ago i am so impressed with this beautiful facility this beautiful church it just invites you to be at peace with god the way the architects have created this openness and the beauty of the greenery pastor kaderma was leading us into the church and he said the concept of the architect was to take you through this tunnel which is the entryway it's kind of dark but it has enough light so you can see and then you come into the great light of the church i want to tell you that's exactly what god is wanting you to do as part of integrated evangelism lifestyle part of total member involvement saying yes lord i will go i will help people in mindanao to come out of the tunnel of darkness into the light of god's word what a privilege to be part of this amazing outreach you know my brothers and sisters wherever you are in this vast union and we have a number here in our church and uh thank you to our fine uh vocal uh singers who are providing music for us they lift us to heaven and here we are in this beautiful church but kind of socially distanced because of the pandemic you know we're wearing our masks and we're being careful we need to it's a very deadly disease an illness that is killing people you don't know why this illness seems to attack some people and others just a few symptoms why for some it is maybe just like a cold and others die this is a indication that we are living at the very end of time jesus predicted pestilences he predicted that things would be unstable matthew 24 tells us exactly where we are in earth's history it's such a privilege i'll tell you not only of visiting this union in different places pastor kaderma and going to mountain view yesterday making those brief stops in different places that was a great privilege but what is really a privilege all throughout our visit in the philippines in every union the north the central the south to be involved in evangelism and thank you to spuc for your tremendous emphasis on evangelism right now we're involved here in this union charm you and and the hope channel and others are very much involved in my journey with god season two and last night nancy spoke and i spoke it's our privilege to do so tonight we'll speak tomorrow i will share a message during the church service thank you for letting us be part of my journey with god and what an important thing it is to realize we are living at the end of time the messages we're sharing point people to the soon coming of jesus uh daniel chapter two gave a lecture on that you know that uh chapter well you know that mess message well we are living in the tips of the toes of that statue which nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream we are living just before that stone cut out without man's hands will come and smash the statue setting up god's everlasting kingdom you see it signifies jesus second coming and what a privilege that each of us have to be part of that proclamation proclaiming the three angels messages of revelation 14 and the fourth angel of revelation 18 calling people out of chaos out of babylon out of confusion into the pure light of god's holy word just as this garden church has as its architectural development you come through that tunnel and then you come into the light that's what the people of mindanao and the south philippine union territory are longing to hear you know i just want to commend each of you 500 of you or more who are watching through zoom or whatever electronic platform we're uni using i think it is zoom and let me tell you what a blessing it's been during this pandemic to have that kind of electronic connection be able to make decisions to be able to keep people together to be able to provide for social media outreach but as i reminded the people at mountain view college yesterday we have lots of high tech high technology but with that you need high high touch which means personal contact thank you for your great emphasis on i will go thank you for what this union is doing to involve everyone in the outreach of the church you know even though we're involved in evangelism even though we're involved in lots of beautiful things that happen the devil is busy the devil is busy trying to discourage every single one of us whether it is something to do with our health whether it has something to do with personal finances whether it has something to do with some unfortunate conflict in the home whether it has to do with some challenge in your workplace the devil is trying to discourage everyone his greatest attack on the seventh-day adventist church is to get us to be distracted don't focus upon god's word don't focus upon i will go don't focus upon integrated evangelism lifestyle don't focus on total member involvement focus on your problems the devil is trying to distract us in every way possible he doesn't want us to spend time with the holy word he doesn't want us to spend time in prayer he wants to distract us get us occupied with everything possible so that we will not be in the lord's wonderful pathway of helping others to come into the light don't be distracted place your self in god's hands place yourself at christ's disposal place yourself where god can keep your mind focused on that which is absolutely true and eternal you know the apostle paul had a problem in fact it was so annoying to him that he wrote about it in the book of second corinthians we see this particular problem and this helps us to understand why paul writing in the book of galatians chapter 6 indicated in verse 9 the following and my message to you today here in south philippines in this union territory in the dynamic missions and conferences in which you are working my message to you today don't get distracted keep focused on christ and the mission he has entrusted to you and by god's grace you will succeed through god's power you see in galatians chapter 6 and verse 9 it says and let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart here and now see amazing agricultural activity amazing produce from this this land amazing opportunities for people to provide food for others you know if you get tired as a farmer from uh doing your work and you simply want to sit back and relax or you get distracted with some problem and the harvest time comes and you don't participate in the harvest because you haven't been keeping up you will fail but if you keep at it if you keep focused if you keep the lord in your heart if you ask god as a seventh-day adventist worker lord give me the strength and vision to persevere and to be able to find the goal as i walk in your pathway god will provide you with success his success on his terms not on your terms well paul had this problem you know paul was an extremely positive person very focused on mission very focused on god's activities but he had a problem he wrote about it in second corinthians and chapter 12. as you view second corinthians chapter 12 you see in verse 7 the problem and lest i should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations you see god gave paul amazing understanding about truth he wrote about it to all these churches he wrote these letters which have now been given to us the holy word of god absolutely rock solid truth from heaven and so paul was saying now i've been given all these precious messages and revelations however i don't want to be exalted you remember paul is the one who said not i but christ let christ be exalted not myself and it says here a thorn in the flesh was given to me a messenger of satan to buffet me lest i be exalted above measure now i want to tell each of you and i speak to myself sometimes god puts things in your life in your lives that challenge you and you don't know how to approach them you can't figure them out you you feel like something is not right and god where are you why aren't you leading me don't believe that god is in the business of trying to hurt you he is only in the business for your good but sometimes he brings into our lives things which will challenge us help to make us stronger help to to make us lean upon christ completely well paul says i have this particular challenge it's a thorn in the flesh and he said concerning this thing i pleaded with the lord three times verse eight second corinthians chapter 12. three times he was pleading that god would take away this thorn in the flesh now i have to tell you we are not absolutely positive what that thorn in the flesh was but it seems to indicate that probably it was poor eyesight now thank god that today we can have corrective lenses you know you look a little blurry to me right now but i put this on wow i can see that people even get special surgeries laser surgeries to correct the lens factor in their eyes they can see but poor paul seem to have a problem with his eyesight in fact it says in those letters i paul i am writing my name in big letters or whatever because somebody else was writing for him a scribe but he wanted to prove this is from me you see paul had a problem with his eyesight it's important to be able to see it's important to be able to encourage people it's important to be able to get around on your own and not be dependent on somebody else he prayed lord take this away from me i want to see or whatever the problem was but we think it was his vision the lord didn't do that the lord allowed him to have that thorn in the flesh and then the lord responded he said to me and my dear fellow workers here in south philippine union conference territory this is god's message for you today during the great strategic plans of reach the world i will go total member involvement integrated evangelism lifestyle care groups evangelism god is asking you to lean on him completely not to be distracted by some problem not to be somehow put into a detour from where god is intending you to be and god is giving you a message and me a message this morning my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness when we feel challenged when we feel down when we feel somehow distracted jesus is saying to us wake up look back to me my grace is sufficient for you don't ever doubt my leading in your life i have to tell you many times when i face problems and one has to tell you um the kinds of problems we face worldwide are so challenging different situations in different parts of the world and sometimes you just shake your head and you just you say lord how are you going to fix this how is it going to work and you kind of doubt that the lord is going to help you find your way through why lord are you letting this happen and every time i want to tell you i praise god and give him all the glory every time in his own time in his own way in his own manner in his own provision he opens the door and opens the way and you say wow why did i ever doubt the lord my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness when we are weak when we realize our need of christ when we lean upon him then is when he can make us the strongest don't ever get distracted discouraged or downcast for the lord and his grace is sufficient for you a number of years ago when i was asked to serve in the euro asia division now the euro asia division covers essentially the former soviet union it was a great challenge for my wife and for me and our three daughters to uproot ourselves from where we were working i had been asked to help in secretariat in the general conference i was an associate secretary we had just come back from serving about nine years in africa and let me thank a number of you who have served in different parts of the world the philippines has provided so many missionaries to the world field thank you to those who have diligently served and there are a number of them who are retired around mountain view college and that area and elsewhere thank you for what you've done but we had just come back from africa having served there about nine years we wanted to get our family back into a more uh interesting setting for the family itself in the united states and we were asked to go to russia it was one of the most difficult decisions we'd ever had we've ever had to make to uproot our family and go from a a nice pleasant place where we were living to live in a two-bedroom apartment on the 10th floor in moscow now i have to tell you provisions were made it was a nice little apartment but it was not very big it was a small little place as most apartments are in moscow but god blessed in an unusual way and we look back at it as perhaps one of the most magnificent times we have ever had in our ministry because every day you had to depend upon jesus for his power and you saw miracles before your very eyes it was a difficult time at that time the soviet union had just collapsed it was difficult to travel it was difficult to work it was difficult to make a telephone call it was difficult for everything it was an amazing time but god's blessings were seen enormously and evangelism was so pronounced people were ready to hear the word of god they wanted to hold the bible they had not even held a bible before what a time to be able to share god's word my dear friends when god asks you to go when god asks you to do something to proclaim his word realize thousands of people are waiting for you to proclaim the word well in preparation to go to this assignment in the euro asia division my father wonderful father and leader in god's church in fact if i'm not mistaken he may have held an evangelistic series right here in kaguyando oro some years ago and my dear father copied three pages from testimonies volume eight testimonies for the church volume eight pages ten eleven and twelve when you get an opportunity and it's so easy now you have it on your smartphone or on your your ipad you can download almost everything that ellen white wrote it's right there testimonies for the church volume 8. and let me just share again as i have before the spirit of prophecy is a tremendous blessing leading us to christ and his holy word the spirit of prophecy is a great blessing to the seventh-day adventist church do not discount it do not put it aside read it promote it share it it will guide you in your work and in testimonies for the church volume 8 page 10 my father copied these out and then underlined certain portions now i'm not going to read you the whole section but i want you to realize that in god's strength we can be strong even though we are weak now in this beautiful passage it says on page 10 we have a savior who has given his life that those who believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life that precious plan of salvation explained in genesis 3 15 again proclaimed in revelation 14 verse 6 and 7 the first angels message about the everlasting gospel what a wonderful message that is and that is what people are longing to hear during spuc's my journey with god so we have this wonderful message to share everlasting life obstacles to the advancement of the work of god will appear but fear not ambassador tejano obstacles come in the way of the church we we we don't see our way through we get discouraged we say lord why have you abandoned us the lord says my grace is sufficient for you lean on me nothing can stand in his way god's way his power is absolute and it is the pledge of the sure fulfillment of his promises to his people you see why my father gave this to me before i went to the euro asia division we faced so many challenges so many difficulties my father wanted me to remember god's grace is sufficient the plans of the enemies of his work may seem to be firm and well established but he can overthrow the strongest of these plans and in now this is really important just remember when you get discouraged lean on the lord he can overthrow the strongest of these plans of the enemy in his own time and way he will do this when he sees that our faith has been sufficiently tested and that we are drawing near to him and making him our counselor my grace is sufficient for you in the darkest days when appearances seem so forbidding fear not have faith in god he is working out his will doing all things well in behalf of his people all right skipping a little listen to this beautiful sentence there is to be no despondency in god's service no one not one of us and i have to remind myself i'll tell you sometimes i face weird problems and i can get a little discouraged and frustrated the word despondence in the english language means you are just you don't know where to turn and you're just so confused and frustrated there is to be no despondency in god's service why because jesus says my grace is sufficient for you oh then it goes on here and i'll conclude i don't want to take the whole morning here charm you have other things you want us to do and it's just a privilege to be with you here in spuc i just i just enjoy it praise god uh but it says here oh my brethren hold the beginning of your confidence firm unto the end just like paul says if you work diligently you will reap don't get discouraged the church of christ is god's agency for the proclamation of truth she is empowered by him to do a special work if she will be true to her allegiance the forces of the enemy will no more will be no more able to overpower her than is the chaff to resist the world wind god will give you the power to accomplish your task and then it says my brethren and this is an appeal now to all of us and to you here in spuc every one of those eight conferences and missions every one of you as a worker for the lord this is god's appeal to us my brethren allow nothing to come in that will separate you from one another or from god don't get distracted don't get divided don't get on a detour no stay together talk not of differences of opinion but unite in the love of the truth as it is in jesus let jesus be the center of all that we do not ourselves not our strategic plans not all the beautiful things that that we see happening yes those are all great but those are because of jesus let jesus be the center and his righteousness in fact we're told the righteousness of jesus christ is the very core of the three angels messages of revelation 14. yes revelation 14 and those three angels messages talk about challenges about warnings and all of that but really they are pointing people back to the true worship of god righteousness by faith not by works unfortunately those who mix humanism tradition into truth bible truth they mix in self [Music] help self salvation when i want to tell you brothers and sisters and this is the message we need to be preaching there is no other name given among men whereby we might be saved except the name of jesus christ there is no other way to get to heaven except for the grace the merits and the blood of jesus christ you cannot work your way to heaven impossible it is the core of the three angels messages complete dependence upon christ because what did he say my grace is sufficient for you and then closing here it says when in faith we take hold of his strength he will change wonderfully change the most hopeless discouraging outlook he will do this for the glory of his name god calls upon his faithful ones who believe in him to talk courage to those who are unbelieving and hopeless what a privilege for us to point people to jesus to point people to his grace which is sufficient for each one of us and at the very end of this little section that my father gave to me before going to work in the euro asia division he wrote in there god has the answers all my love dad my dear friends our heavenly father is speaking to each of us today and he is saying if you get discouraged in promoting and helping and opening the way of evangelism and my journey with god and integrated evangelism lifestyle total member involvement but the devil somehow discourages you distracts you don't be lean on jesus for his grace is sufficient for you one of these days very soon we're going to look up in the sky we're going to see that little cloud appear getting bigger and bigger larger and larger brighter and brighter and there in the cloud of unnumbered angels will be the one that we've waited for the one who has given us his grace the one who has supplied all that we need to accomplish his task here on this earth as god's remnant church the seventh-day adventist church we look up and will say this is the god we have waited for he will save us jesus will say well done good and faithful servants enter into the joy of your lord and the lord's trumpet blast will go out and those dead in christ will rise and we who are alive and by god's grace i believe it's going to be very soon i believe many of us will be alive when jesus comes we will join the lord in the air ever to be with the lord and you'll take us to heaven it's not a fairy tale it's not some strange story it is absolutely bible truth jesus said three times in the last chapter of the last book of the bible behold i come quickly each one of you here today i include myself each one of you online wherever you are and i see many many pictures of you on the screens down here how many of you want to say lord i don't exactly know what the future holds but i know you hold the future i know you have grace sufficient for me and lord i want to stand firm for you regardless of what happens because if we don't faint by god's grace and his sufficiency and his grace we will reap the harvest if you want to tell the lord today as a as a as a worker in the spuc wherever you are and i include myself lord take me use me i will go lord keep my eyes on you until the very last day would you just stand with me right now wherever you are amen i see people standing online praise god for each one of you lord bless you as we look at these precious people all across this union let's pray together father in heaven we thank you that even though we may have a thorn in the flesh there may be challenges we face and undoubtedly there are many that you will help us not to be discouraged distracted or in any way distanced from the mission you have entrusted to us if we lean completely upon you we thank you that your grace is sufficient for us and that we can go through any trial as we lean completely upon you thank you for the righteousness of christ thank you for the sanctuary service thank you for the understanding of the three angels messages and the fourth angel help us lord to proclaim the righteousness of christ and the true worship of god thank you for the seventh-day sabbath that reminds us this is the seal of god as opposed to the mark of the beast and sunday keeping lord we just thank you for your marvelous promises to us now lord i ask an

there many wish to come to have a picture with you all right thank you pastor ted and thank you so much at this time our minister our administrators our hospital presidents our play workers and all of you you have been you really want to express your thanks your experiences in the mission field and here's your representative to give you a glimpse pastor ted of how of what the work of how the missionary work here in the south philippines goes here it is [Music] christian greetings everyone especially to beloved general conference president elder ted wilson the feeling of serving the lord in the literature ministry is so amazing filled with happiness and contentment while working in the provincial government for 30 years are pressed with pressure but serving the lord is filled with pleasure i worked in the provincial government for 30 long years one year before my proposed retirement on may 16 2021 i planned to be a part-time ile only but one day i happened to attend the spuc ila frontliners zone meeting where pastor nildum mama vividly portrayed in his mission that god is a god of miracles i was silenced by him together with pastor dani inato and pastor jun taotao not to settle for less but to go for the credential goal considering the remaining three months the year 2020 i hesitated for a while but after seeking god's guidance through prayers i finally accepted the challenge however the other side of it was the lingering confidential pandemic where house to house canvassing is no longer allowed but god indeed is a god of miraculous when he impressed me to make use of the media platform particularly the messenger a 360 degree twist in my retirement plan right then and then my online canvassing using the messenger went on air reaching as far as united kingdom and other parts of the world and the entire philippine archipelago [Music] just barely three months on this scheme god displayed his amazing power that he granted my prayer to reach the credential goal thanks be to god when new year came 2021 i just planned to renew my credential status but another twist happened when i was called to lead the spc form transformers team on june 1 2021 working at the municipality of pantoucan and maragosa i was also challenged to lead the student group for the month of august and september that with god's grace he allowed us to reach the total sales of 300 2196 pieces for only two months and we got the highest sales mission-wise another challenge came to us to conduct a one-week evangelistic crusade on september 19 to 25 2021 a trade jerome is the church arrival pantocan daffodil where my youngest daughter registered medic took charge of the health lecture mystery law in celeste and i took part of the gospel message god again displayed his amazing power when 15 precious souls were baptized including my son-in-law marlon de la cuadra that we prayed and labored for five years to top god's working miracles the transformers team already reached a total 10 sales of 1 million 289 160 pesos as of november a little higher of the 1.2 million gold praised the lord witnessing god's daily miracles and visiting conversing and praying and delivering precious books to the families and at the end of the day the work done for the lord is worth laboring for this is my story and my testimony serving the lord in the literature ministry thank you god bless us all abundantly [Music] hi my name is christie ann subin zubing from azam city sda elementary school under western mindanao conference i have always believed in this notion that life is relative this is in tune with the idea that says it doesn't matter how long you live here on earth what matters most is how well you live to put that into perspective i thought that i have to live my life well even if that means working for the lord and serving others for the rest of my life that's why i chose teaching the noblest profession of all is teaching yes but what makes it more special is staying in our adventist schools teaching young boys and girls jesus for eternity for these past few years i keep on receiving messages from my college friends relatives and even family members to apply in a public school they say you can do better you can be more successful you can get higher salary rate the list of reasons goes on but i chose to stay because i felt that this is the will of god for me nothing is more fulfilling than seeing children learning about jesus every day and eventually accepting him as their personal savior i remember one time when one of my non-advertised peoples told me teacher christine i believe in jesus and i want to go to heaven that moment i felt my purpose that instance i knew that i am living my life well i've been teaching in our institution for almost 6 years now the path was not easy and i know it won't be but i know that god will take care of me i also know for sure that god will always be with everyone who is working in the service of our king jesus christ [Music] i joined midnight sanitarium hospital in 1994 before i started my work my father gave me a piece of advice he said don't expect to be rich in the world standard while working for the lord but this i can assure you that god will take care of you and your family there were personal ups and downs while working for the lord it was so rewarding to be part of the enormous progress of both hospital and challenge however in 2021 i was transferred to valencia sanitarium and hospital away from my family who needed me the most during the time i asked the lord is this the will of god or the will of man a year later i was transferred even further in a sign in davao sanitarium and hospital it was so depressing however looking at it in retrospect this i can say with confidence that during those times i felt the hands of the lord carrying me through the darkest moments of my life he blessed the labor of my hands he blessed the institution where i work but above all he blessed my family more than ever before god's leading in the past gave me confidence in facing the uncertain future the pandemic gave us a lot of challenges in making the hospital survive some hospitals and clinics downsize or close but with god's leading adventist medical center illegal runs out in tupe south cotabato praise the lord for that if my father had been alive today this is what i can say to him after working for the lord for 20 years i can say that i am still not rich in the world standard however i am proud to let you know that i am richly blessed back to the question how does it feel to work for the lord working for the lord is so rewarding and i feel so richly blessed [Music] [Music] working for the lord was the best decisions that i've ever made in my entire life [Music] i do not mind traversing mountains a maze of bumpy and moody ways because seeing our subani brothers happy faces attending our crusades joining our art streets program and even submitting themselves through baptism makes me feel fulfilled today [Music] i am enjoying in this work because outside from sharing god's message of salvation i myself was also transformed to the best version of myself of god shepherd in this noble calling glory to god in the highest thank you um on our printed program we have spock race team as our closing song but um we are going to be we have to proceed to

courtesy and love abide a model home where god's presence is welcome moreover an action to construct a center of influence covered court building but this was not materialized this year because of the
