“Apan
unsaon man nila pagsampit kaniya kon wala sila motuo? Ug unsaon man nila pagtuo
kon wala sila makadungog sa mensahe? Ug unsaon man nila pagkadungog kon walay
magwale niini?’’-Roma 10:14
Sa pagpamalandong naku niining pulonga
na hunahunaan jud nako kung unsa ka importante para sa akua ni mahitingod sa
pagsangyaw sa maayong balita. Bisan layo
amo ginabaktas pero sa panahon nga maka sangyaw ko ug akong mga kauban dako jud
ako kalipay. Dili man jud sayon ang maong buluhaton pero na remind ko jud ko
nga bersikulo (Roma 10:14) kay tungod nabati nako nga daghan jud ang wala
makadungog sa Maayong balita bisan adunay sila pagtuo sa Diyos pero lahi jud
ang nay relasyon sa Ginoo ug nahagit ko sa kinabuhi ni Tatay *Juan kay nasayod
ko nga adunay butang nga wala pa niya gitungyan sa Ginoo kay tungod sa iyang
bisyo lisod jud nga siya biyaan. Kay sama usab ko sa iyaha sa una nga aduna pud
bisyo bisan unsaon badlong sa ako, dili jud ko magbag-o. Pero dako jud ang pasalamat
nako sa Ginoo kay tungod sa iya nga grasya ug kaluoy naluwas ko gikan sa
kangitngit maong nahagit ko kay tatay kay kabalo ko. Ang Ginoo magapamuhat ra
jud sa iyaha.
Bisan pa sa pagpanglakaw namo atong
Sabado, bisan sa ulan ug kalapok sa dalan, lisud jud pero salamat sa Ginoo
aduna jud balay mudawat sa amoa. Bisan pa atong Domingo salamat usab ko sa
Ginoo kay bisan naulanan ug nainitan walay sakit na ako o among natagamtaman.
Nabless usab ko sa kinabuhi ni Sir J*. nga sa diin gintudlo niya ang kinabuhi
ni Abraham ug ang saad sa Diyos kang Abraham nga ‘’Panalanginan ko ikaw ug
mahimo kang panalangini sa tanang nasud”

‘’How
then can they call on the one they have not believed in and how can they
believed in the one of whom they have not heard. And how can they hear without
someone preaching to them’- Romans 10:14
As I continue meditate on this verse,
I realized even more how important it is to preach the Gospel. Even though our
ministry area is far from the camp site, the joy is unexplainable when we share
the Gospel. This job is not easy but this verse (Romans 10:14) reminds me that
many people are still lost even though they believe in God they still don’t
have a personal relationship with God. There is a big difference between those
2. I was challenged by the life of Tatay *Juan. I know that there are things
that he has yet to surrender to the Lord and because those have become a habit
or vises, it is just hard for him to turn away from them. I was like that
before. No matter how my family tried to persuade me, I would not change. So, I
really thank the Lord because of His grace and mercy, I was rescued from
darkness and so Tatay *Juan’s life really speaks to me coz I can relate to what
he is going through. The Lord will continue to work in him.
Even
in during our ministry this Saturday, even in the muddiness of the paths, it
was really difficult but a home welcomed us. Even on Sunday, I also thank the
Lord that even though we got rained on and then walked in the heat of the sun
but I did not nor my team mates did get sick. I was also blessed with the life
of Sir J* and how he shared the life of Abraham and God’s promise to him that,
“I will bless you and you will be a blessing to all nations.”
