I was a returning overseas contract worker when my brother-in-law who was engaged in buy-and-sell business involved me in an anomalous business transaction. He purchased computers with bouncing or unfunded checks. To my amazement, the owner of the computers listed me as co-accused in the lawsuit he filed with the court. I looked for a hiding place when I heard the news that the warrant for my arrest was out. Being raised up in Baguio (pronounced bag-yo) City (North of Manila) in the Philippines, I also settled there with my own family. I decided that Metro Manila was the best place for me to hide because of obvious reasons but boredom overtook me there. I then decided to go back to my family and hide in the homes of my relatives. But GOD had planned ahead of me and that HE was the ONE in control now.
Without my knowledge, the family of my wife's uncle were already serving GOD in this ministry, she had suggested their place instead as my temporary refuge, so I gave in. There I heard about all the Works GOD has been doing even to this day in the JESUS MIRACLE CRUSADE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY. That very moment GOD filled me with joy unspeakable and full of glory! I knew HE gave me faith and I felt HIS love for me. The very next day which was a Sunday, February 18, 1996 to be exact, I attended church services and accepted the LORD JESUS CHRIST as my LORD and SAVIOR, KING of my life through baptism by immersion in the name of JESUS. I was a changed man after that. I used to be a gambler, drunkard, hooked to pornography, thief, and cigarette smoker. I was surpirised to find out that I did not have the urge to do these vises in my new faith whilest in my old faith, I did believe in GOD, these vises were natural just like breathing. JESUS CHRIST is now my Physician and Healer, other brethren in this church like myself never took in medicine or pills for any kind of pain or aches. I Praise and Thank GOD HE saved me and made me belong to HIS Royal Family and become HIS son, heir to HIS Kingdom.
