From Coffee Shops to Crowds – April 2025
LIFE SESSIONS GOES TO MABINAY
On Good Friday, April 19, the Lord opened another door—this time, in Mabinay People’s Park. Through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, Sis. Blanch and Bro. Oliver Rouaro, owners of Blanch Bakes, hosted a Life Session in their hometown.
Despite logistical challenges, they organized a full band and gathered people right at the heart of the park. The Dumaguete team traveled by faith, declaring what we’ve always believed: “When God says Go, we go.”
And go we did—straight into a moment of breakthrough, not just among the crowd but among churches too. Unity, passion, and hunger filled the air. We believe Mabinay is marked for revival, and we’re praying more will catch the fire.

PAMALAYE WITH A MISSION: FAMILY AND FAITH IN MINDANAO
From April 28 to May 1, I journeyed with my brothers in Christ—Hezron Cadayday, JM Manalo, and Joemar Villarejo—on what I call “Pamalaye with a Mission.” Traditionally, pamalaye is a pre-wedding gathering of families. But for us, it was also a divine appointment.
We traveled by sea and land to reach Aloran (Misamis Occidental) and Tubod (Lanao del Norte)—Lady’s hometowns—and also visited my family in Oroquieta City and Maranding. We brought with us joy, expectation, and most importantly, God’s presence.
The Lord provided for all our needs, confirming what we always say: “If it’s the Lord’s will, it’s the Lord’s bill.” We spent time with Lady’s family, celebrated her birthday on April 29, shared laughter, stories, meals—and experienced deep spiritual moments of love, restoration, and joy in the Lord.

A VISIT THAT SHAPED OUR FAITH
Before heading back to Dumaguete, we made a special stop on April 30—to the home of Nanay Eme and Tatay Vador in Oroquieta. They are not just dear elders, but spiritual parents to me. In their simplicity, they reflect the heart of Jesus.
That short visit turned into a deep moment of conviction. Their generosity in the midst of lack reminded us of the widow’s offering in Scripture. “They had so little, yet gave so much.”

A JOYFUL ANNOUNCEMENT
As we look back with gratitude, we also look forward with great joy.
We are thrilled to announce that Lady and I will be getting married on May 25, 2025.
This new season of our lives is grounded in the powerful truth of Ephesians 5:25 –
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.”
This verse will not only be the foundation of our marriage, but also the banner of our mission—to live, serve, and love as Christ did.

Total People Reached This Month
A rough estimate would be around 250+
from coffeeshops to crowds, and people we encounter.
At this point I need a team to keep count and to be accurate.
