Year 1986 when Pastor Narciso Jaime, senior pastor of John 14:6 Christian ministry visited in our place and share the gospel and my mother is one of the listener. Jesus touched my mother’s heart and she was the first to be born again in our family and she requested to handle Bible studies at home. I was only 15 yrs old then. My family thought I am a good person. My parents know anything about my bad habits with my friends; I drink liquor, smoke, I have lots of girlfriend that usually quarrel, and worst of all I take shabu. In this kind of life, I felt emptiness, something is missing in my life. January 19, 1988, 2 years after, the vacuum in my life pushed me to take sometime to reflect and I realized that there’s something wrong. That night, a Bible study was conducted in our house and I heed to my mother’s invitation to take time to listen. Jesus touched my heart, tears started to fall and I surrendered my life to Him. Jesus filled the emptiness in my life. All my vices are gone and God started to enhance my talents in playing instruments and in singing. I was ordained Pastor of John 14:6 Christian Church Together with my wife, we commit our lives to serve God and HIS purposes. Together with my wife, we commit our lives to serve God and HIS purposes. Most recently, I have been challenged to join full-time work with Mission Ministries Philippines, a Christian organization committed to reaching the poorest in Metro Manila with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
