Testimonies from the Fields

God protects and cares for all of my church members. We are all in good health. One of my members was seriously sick in January and was very sad that he had no money to see a doctor. I went to him and encouraged him to trust God who is the true physician and able to heal him. After that I prayed for him. A few days later he was healed. He was very happy and shared, “At first I was very upset for my sickness, because I have no money to go to hospital. I could not buy any medicine, so I thought that I may die soon. However, Pastor came and gave encouragement to me and prayed for me. After that I had a hope in God and trusted that He could heal me. Thus, after fervent prayers, the Lord healed my sickness amazingly. Praise His name. The Lord is the best doctor for me and for us all.” – Pastor Ling, Myanmar

I have been focusing my time in training a new leader, Jun Languido. He is working with his wife who is very supportive. According to Jun, she was the one who encouraged him into full-time ministry. Jun has such a shepherd’s heart for the people. God has transformed him in amazing ways. Jun says, “[Before Christ] I didn’t have hope. I thought I would just live today and tomorrow I would die. But, my life was changed. Pastor Marlon shared the message of God’s plan and He has been faithful to heal and provide for my family’s daily needs. It was then I realized God is interested in every detail of my life. Please pray for us as we desire to be used by God in the ministry. Pray the Lord will bless our work.” Give thanks to God! – Pastor Marlon Tabuzo, Dimaslang, Masbate, Philippines

My youngest sibling, Michelle Faith Sebua, is one of our workers. She is very well favored and blessed by God. When she was 17 years old and in her second year of college, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The family was very worried because the doctor also diagnosed her as having hydrocephalus; the doctor was not optimistic. When her head had been shaved and she was ready for surgery, one of our family members asked her how she felt. She replied, “I’m ready for whatever might happen. I believe God will do what’s best for me. If God’s will is to take me at 17 years of age, I can do nothing.” These were words that I heard firsthand and she had not one tear in her eyes. After the operation, she was able to return to school and is now able to walk. At present, Michelle Faith is 21, single and serving the Lord as our children’s Sunday school teacher and outreach teacher. She is very supportive and is very rich in faith. Glory to God! – Pastor Ritchell Sebua, Escalante, Negros Occidental, Philippines
