Personal and Ministry Background
Glo and I are both Navigator babies. I came to know the Lord
through Ed Cvelich, an International Trainee who was assigned in Araneta
University. Glo received Christ after a Navigator lady in her office
shared the gospel to her. In 1983, I worked at the Navigators Office as
an accountant. Glo worked as the secretary the following year.
In 1988, Glo and I were assigned to minister to the students in Central
Philippine University, Iloilo City. We helped the college students and
later pioneered the high school ministry there. We also served as youth
workers in the church that started as a small Bible study of the first
Navigator contacts in Iloilo City.
We moved to Los Baños, Laguna in 1996 to start the high school
ministry. Together with a Singaporean international trainee, we reached
out to the Christian School International. Two years later, we started
helping students of University of the Philippines Rural High School.
Besides the regular Bible studies, we volunteered as values formation
teachers and chapel hour speakers at Christian School International. Most
of the students' fellowships and birthday celebrations are held in our
home. McDonald's also became a venue for our small group Bible studies and
evangelism. McDonalds is very close to the university and most students
hang out there during free time.
Ministry Involvement
Tennis Court Bible Study
Every Thursday at 5:00 AM, we meet the Sunrisers' tennis players for
Bible Study. The group is composed of retired professors, mostly with
doctorate degrees. Two of them commented that they only came to know the
Bible from our weekly study. We are truly encouraged by their desire to
learn. Whenever we are not available, we have two leaders who facilitate
the discussion.
Catholic Couple for Christ and Neighbors
In order to reach out the mainstream, Glo nand I join the Catholic's
group for couples. We meet two other couples for prayer and Bible
discussion regularly. We also started to befriend our two neighbors. They
honored us by making us godparents of their children. We pray for
opportunity to invite them for a Bible discussion.
Alalay Foundation Scholars
Every first Staurday of the month, Glo and I meet the students of Alalay
Foundation. They are around seventy students from public high schools and
colleges.
Navigator Office
Two days a week, I go to the Navigators Office to help the Accounting
System. I also enjoy ministering by practicing my professional skills as
an accountant.
