What a weekend..!

Just a quick update on my blog as I have a colleague & friend tweak it. Thanks, Ardie..! Last Sabbath, my senior pastor, Pastor Jose Manalo gave a powerful sermon and a moving testimony. I was blessed. Many in our church family were blessed, too. In the afternoon, Jo, my wife, Joni, our youngest daughter attended the Pasadena church for their Small Group Festival. Dr. Samuel Lee, Southern California Conference, Asian/South Pacific Director, Pastor Paul Cho, Senior Pastor, Chino Chinese church, and myself led out in seminars. Pastor Edgar Lloren, new Senior Pastor of Pasadena church hosted this festival in his church. I presented Natural Church Development Intro and it was well received. Google NCD and if you have questions/comments I can help with, please email me. Beautiful songs, instructive seminars, and great food were enjoyed by all. Thanks, Edgar..! My family ended the night walking in the beautiful fall air at Victoria Gardens, Ontario, California. Yesterday, I supported my two friends, Pastor Manny Vitug, Children's Ministry Director of Southeastern California Conference, and Manny Angeles, Simple Acts of Kindness Evangelism, Coordinator in their once in a lifetime celebration of their birthdays by skydiving from 12,000 feet in the air near Lake Perris airport. Their wives, and children were there to cheer them on. They had their exciting tandem skydive video taped. As soon as they can share it with me via YouTube, I'll let you view it, too. I drove to Lake Perris on my motorcycle and ate at an authentic Mexican restaurant and enjoyed three beef tacos, & rice. The meal was delicious. I ended yesterday by making a hospital visit at Redlands Community Medical Center. Today, I will be following up my application process for my Doctoral Degree from Andrews University/Seminary. I requested my Master's of Divinity transcript from AIIAS, Philippines. Please pray for me as I pray for you..! I am, doulos4christ
