Grace gap

I struggle with falling so far short of what I really want to be. I find that in all my best efforts – in ministry, in life as a father, husband, friend, and brother – I constantly seem to be falling short of what I believe God wants me to be or where God wants [...]

I want to be…

In one of the workshops (Short term missions, Long term impact) I attended during the Go Forth conference last week, a short video clip of how one group of believers of Christ reaches out to a poor village in India was shown.

I just turned 31 last Saturday, 21st of June.  I thank God for my life. I am happy and proud for every year added to me. I would never hide my age. Haha. If every day is a gift, how much more a year? Was happy to talk to my parents in Masbate, Philippines and my sisters in Canada [...]

a soul that pants

“Only to sit and think of God, Oh what a joy it is! To think the thought, to breathe the name; Earth has no higher bliss. Father of Jesus, love’s reward! What rapture it will be, Prostrate before Thy throne  to lie, And gaze and gaze on Thee! I love Thee so, I know not [...]
