After being back in Singapore where my mission field currently is, I had encountered lots of testing after the mission school. It's like, after the school God immediately send me for a test, haha.. but anyways among all of the challenges and trials encountered both in ministry and personal life the greatest one is what happened to my family last November 15,2016. That tuesday night around 10:30 in the evening somebody broked in our house in the influence of drugs. My Dad was attacked pretty badly that night he got 7 stabs and my sister and law and my cousin both got stabs in the head and chest as well. That night while walking home with one of the church leader I had a chest pain and asked her if we can both pray and I am not even aware what's going on back home with my family in the Philippines. But of all that happened thank God they are all safe nOw. They all thought my Dad might not survived but miracles did happened that night. It's hard to believe for those who have not seen how Jesus protect us and our loved ones. When my Dad was stabbed in the face the knife blade broke. The blade penetrate pretty deep but my Dad got no injury inside his mouth and nobody can explain why. Then the guy went to our kitchen to get more knives and he attacked my sister in law trying to get in the kids room and he stabbed her in the head and again a miracle happened. The knife broke again so it was not that deep. Then he attacked my cousin and he stabbed her in the chest because she's helping out my sister in law. For the 3rd time the knife broke. He was able to scape out from our house but got caught by the neighbourhood. It was a scary news when I got it wednesday morning. So I flew back home friday night and seeing them all fine and well despite of the injuries and trauma to get recovered from, I am so thankful and amazed of how God have protected my family. Worst thing could have happened but by prayer and petition to God all things are possible. He honoured my prayer. My main concern as I do ministry away from my family is for God to keep them safe. God is indeed faithful and it was an amazing testimony of His divine protection and faithfulness. Nothing can ever snatch and take us away from our calling. In obedience there is fruitfulness.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Phil. 4:6-7 |
