I'm Rhicel Behic Kho, a Christian Educator, Missionary, and a Church Admin. Graduated in Calvary Bible Institute Philippines last 2016 with the majority of Systematic Theology and Kairos Mission. From Calvary Chapel Dumaguete, Philippines!
Before I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ, my life was empty like an empty shell, no life & nor direction. My family was a devoted Roman Catholic from my father and mother's parents, from our great grandparents! I was active in the activity in that association, yet don't know the purpose of my life.
Why do I exist? Why am I here? What's the purpose of my existence? Is God real? Who created God in the first place? Who can be a mediator of human beings and the existence of their purposes in life?
Those questions keep bothering me until I get a chance to know who God is!
But before knowing God, I was in a traumatic experience of being physically and verbally abused. With that I learned how to defend myself. Every time I left the house for school, back in the elementary until high school, I always brought a double blade nail cutter and a clean smooth stone with me just in case something happens. I also used a sharp pencil to stab my classmates who tend to bully me, young or adults, I learned to fight them back physically & verbally, and my parents wouldn't believe me every time I told them about what was going on. In short no one believes, they think that I was just making stories, or make fun of, but showing to them the bruises in my tiny body, in my tiny arms, wouldn't convince them at all.
And so, with that, I started to question God! Are you even real? Do you even care? Are you aware that I was facing this kind of difficulty?
And one time, my mom brought me and even encouraged me to go to the priest to ask for confession. When I was there in a small hole inside the room in the confession room, I heard a man's voice, saying, "go on, tell me what you did / do wrong", and I just responded, "who are you, anyway?" And he said, "I'm the priest", and I asked him, "hello, father! Why would I confess to you when you are just like me - a human being?" And he said, "because I am the one can access to God and bring your sins to him, I am the mediator between god and the people, that's why I'm here, and I responded him with confusion, "why is it that you seems so sure that only you can access or have an access to God, yet you are only a human being, is there any level of keys that only a priest can access to it, and since you're a mediator. Did God Himself tell you that you only can have access to Him, and that He tells you to become a mediator, when you are still in your sinful nature?" And he said, "why are you doubting? You are like the doubting Thomas, one of jesus disciples" you are here to confess not to debate me". And I responded to him with a lower voice, "father, I'm sorry, I don't need to confess my sin to you, because you also make mistakes like me, I believe that there's someone greater than you who can mediate God to man, I just don't know where to find that! I cannot push myself to confess to a priest who also fails in the sight of God because of our nature." Then he cut me of my reasoning, then he said, "no one can have access to God only the priest, now you may go out, because you are wasting my time here," and I told him these, "father, in that sense, you are already sinning, because you don't know how to cater your flocks." Then I walked away slowly, wandering around the church, while looking at the statue that was displayed on. And my mind, keep saying "they weren't true, they don't get tired of standing and posing the same posture in that same position all day and every day! They're dead and never alive. And so am I!
Past forward in 2008, I came to know God. There was a couple who never stopped reaching me out and leading me to who God is, they were the couple who answered those questions that kept popping up in my head, and I became an Evangelical Christian all through out of their eagerness and example as Christ likeness. The first songs that I was hearing that day were "Amazing Grace" and Ptr. Nathan Lee was the one preaching on that Sunday, I found myself crying and standing in front of the crowds raising up my hands π½. I felt something pouring in my whole body, and I felt like I was renewed, from dead to life. Yes, I was dead because my spirit is empty and I'm dead to sin, but after receiving and believing in God (Romans 10:9 - 10) I was saved. It was only by God's grace! He knows what's best for me! He even used people around me to help me grow in faith and in the knowledge of Him.
In 2010 of September 26. I got baptized, and I knew and understood what it meant to be for. For God revealed it to me step by step, until I knew that He called me to go (Matthew 28:18 -20) and be part of His Kingdom.
2013 My late Pastor Jimmy Sycip allowed me to go to the Bible College, which was the name before was Calvary Chapel Bible College and now replaced it with "Calvary Bible Institute" in the Philippines!
That's why, I am here to continue my passion and advocacy to spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ for He alone is the solution that every one needed in life! Leading everyone to Christ (the Messiah)!
Thank you for reading my testimony! I have been serving God since 2014, in some churches and one of them is the Church that helps me discover more of Him in the PBCC or ParaΓ±aque Bible Christian church! I am leading a children's ministries both in Outreaches and Sunday School and helping some church office related stuff as well, conducting training to other churches who needed the most.
God never delayed His promises and purpose! Just believe! And He will do it for you!
All glory belongs to HIM and HIM alone! π½π½π½
Thank you again! And God bless you everyone!
