Let me share her story…
Mother
Bear
“Our house is open to anyone in need.”
This is Jane. She welcomed us even though she did not know us. She
believed that we need help and we bring good news. Her house became our home
and we became a family. During our first nights with them she told us that she
had seen Jesus in her dream before. That she knew it was him, that she saw him but just could not describe
how he looks like because that seemed to be erased from her memory. “But He
shines so bright”, and she knows it is Jesus. In her dream Jesus said, “Carry
on, my child.” That was all that He said.
Another night she told us about her other dreams. That before she got
married, she has always had bad dreams, but in her dreams, a man in the dark
would always come and save her. When we are not home, she and her family
(mother, brother and kids) read our bibles, the biographies and other stuff
that we have, discuss it among themselves and ask us question after question
about what they have read. we learned from one of her brothers that their
Father when he was still alive has always had Bible study in that very same
house and same bench where we all sit to have these discussions. And his Father
would always say, “ In this book (the Bible), I have found peace”. Later on, as Jane shared more about her life,
we found out that she has long surrendered her life to Christ, even before we
met her. In the time of great trials back when her kids were still small, she
wondered why God continues to be kind to
her despite her sins. Why God continues to care and love her although she is
bad. If then that God is like that, despite all the bad things she does, she is
surrendering her whole life and all that she has and all her trust to
Christ. We later on realized that the
“savior” in Jane’s dreams is the same Christ that spoke to her in her other
dream. Back then, when she does not care yet, Jesus was just “a man in the
dark” – unknown and unnoticed but still rescues her; then when greater trails
came, she started seeing Him and appreciating His love and looked for Him. That
time, Christ said, “ Carry on.” for those who search will find. She found that
He has always found her.
Mother bear, her 2 sons and her mother after a few months were also baptized and Ptr. Tito continued to follow up on them.
