Divine Calling Of GOD On Me & My Wife

As you know, We are so excited to Be part of the Mission because Many are called but Few are Chosen so I want you to know that the " Harvest are Big but the Laborers are few " and this is the mandate we have that We as a christian are called to make disciples not only in the Philipines but to Asia and to the Ends of the earth. There is only one reason why we want to pursue in the mission field and that is because of this mandate and most of all we, the laborer's are few.

My only problem is that I was able to talk to Pastor Earl & Noel yesterday & they told me that there is no mission assignment in L.A. California USA where most of my family are residing & they arent a christian yet especailly my Beloved Mom who is 75 years old already. All my cousins whom I grew up with and aunties and uncles and friends were busy in worldly affairs in L.A. I told Pastor Noel & Earl that L.A. is only my desired Nation but God can change it anytime HE wishes and we are ready for any calling God will appoint us as we knew that we only have One life to live on earth.

I am sorry for sharing this to you because we just find comfortable sharing our visions to you because of the background you have before you join the Mission. We knew that, you were also told by some Leaders not to go to the mission field but because of your persistence so the Will of God prevails and not the will of men as the bible says:"Many
are the plans in men's heart but ultimately God's will always prevails"..

Please help us go through with this calling of God as we are new in manila and we dont have much connections here since I am so busy working in a call center unlike when we were still in Victory zamboanga where most of our time was devoted to Ministry & small group together with my wife.

I believe that it should be family first before Ministry but mind you that without ministry we find no family. Me and wife are totally dedicated to the work of spreading the gospel to our friends, fellow church & to the lost. We do have our limitations but our focus & vision is to reach and introduce the Gospel especially to the lost. We do have the Mind & heart of Jesus. WE just simply cannot use family reason to stop the work of spreading the gospel. WE are not saying that we are disregarding our needs but what I am saying is that me & my wife had decided to focus on the Calling and we firmly believe that Everything will be added as the bible says:"Seek God & His Rightoeusness then all will follow"..

As a businessman & employee at the same time, I can have all the reasons not to pursue ministry. To be honest, Since I started working here in the call center, I really dont have much time even going to Leader's group because of the pressures of grayvyard shifting. And because of my Financial Goal, i find no time for people but since the bible says that Many were called and few were chosen, this gave me the impression that if people who are always busy for themselves for Money are not really the one who was chosen because pursuing God is total Self-denial which includes changing your Vision from Money to Ministry. Hence, we are not called by God to be rich only but to change the world with the kind of Lives we leave & most of all, Ministering His Word to others as we the laborers are but few so to speak.

The bible says:" We cannot serve both Money & GOD. So I need to make decision whether I wanted to serve God in World Mission or To become a Rich guy in my career & Business. The Desire to become rich alone & desire to serve God can never reconcile. Prosperity & Success Includes wealth but it is not wealth alone. Let us pursue wealth by pursuing God and not Pursuing wealth then God. Let's put God first and let's advance the Knigdom of God thorought Discipleship & Ministry to the lost. Please pray for us today for favor. This is all for now.


More Power In Christ!!
