I encountered Jesus in 1987 Nov, a year after I left the communist movement based in Mindanao, Philippines. My late husband too was a cadre like me but left earlier than me and got born again first . It was a small daughter church of the first city Southern Baptist church in my hometown that I encountered God and immediately after I was baptized started helping in the church ministry for children until I became a staff in Children Evangelism Fellowship (CEF). As we (with my late husband) grew in our faith, our wounded hearts also found the healing we needed. The knowledge and understanding of God's love and work on the cross gave me the capacity to forgive those who wronged me and the humility to ask forgiveness from them whom I also have caused pain. my journey of healing, forgiveness and restitution was long but I praise and thanked God for not leaving me alone. Just as He was present all the days of my rejecting Him as a commie/atheist, HE was and is with me ALL the way untill now. The story of the fiery furnace was real to me. First, with my youngest son lost to us when our family was in the season of seeking when and where to start the ministry God called us to be 3yrs after leaving our home for 20yrs. Second, was the almost 2mos.of being in the hospital of my late husband and his death. These two events in actual time almost drove me crazy, got depressed without me knowing it. BUT GOD is faithful! He was and is the anchor of my soul. True to His promise. He will not leave nor forsake me.
At present, I am pursuing the vision God gave to me way back 1989. it was a long journey before God finally opened the first phase of it. Got a 10min.video done already as a glimpse of the book I have written documenting our experiences in the communist Party especially as victims in the purging within the movement that started in mid80's and God's instrument to push me/us to the wall and finally led me to His Kingdom of light. This project I believed is God's call for me to ; 1. Share to our people 🇵🇭 and beyond, the REDEMPTIVE POWER of GOD's LOVE
2. EXPOSE/EDUCATE/INFORM the youth of today of the dangers and deception of the godless ideology and
3. Help us BUILD a house of refuge - a HAVEN OF HOPE - for the underpriviledged, abused, neglected and victims of conflict/war children.
I may not know yet where it shall be built and the other details, but I am assured, God will not bring me this far at this age and time, and leave me/us alone.
it is my faith and prayers that though nothing is seen yet in the natural, the book, the full length movie and the house of refuge will soon materialize . SOLI DEO GLORIA🔥🕊️🙏🏻
