i was given the chance...




jaworski
Pastor Ferdie Cabiling and Pastor Rico 10 years ago ( wow! time flies when you are having a blast) gave me the oppurtunity to preach . I remember the series it was WHAT WOULD JESUS SAY SERIES... my topic was Jaworski!!! old school noh hehe.

it was bad
I dont remember much, except for the fact that my mom attended the youth service, or at least was in the area, eavsdropping and that i totally bombed out!!! i was bad, not in a slang way but in the truest sense of the word.

a chance
I still dont know what the pastors saw in me but im glad they did see some potenntial. Our leaders taught me how to speak and gave me the chance to try, experiment and sometimes even fail.. i will forever treasure that in my heart

2007
Fast forward 2007, I find myself being a preacher at the youth , 5 and 7 pm services ( thanks pastor joey and steve for this chance to serve) , and im so excited to give people the same opportunity that was given to me.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED at the SERVICES :

YOUTH SERVICE:
vico ( emcee) - son of vic sotto and coney reyes.. a natural nuf said!! stoic comedy
king- ( emcee) - star circle, charismatic and funny
janelle ( offering) - confident, insightful and natural ( corny in a cute way)
dar ( transition) - pure passion ... prophetess in the making
joey molina ( ministry time) - a pastor.. has a heart for the people.
rich blaylock ( preaching) - the best "first time" preacher i ever heard.. watch out for this guy!!!

5 AND 7PM
ROB J ( transition) - rocked the place... he really ministred to the people.. the future is huuuugee for this guy.

carlos antonio (will preach next week) - deep, deep , deep..!!!! style so different from mine, i love it!!! Always gives out a "now" word for the church!!!


the Jesus way

JESUS gave uneducated fishermen the opportunity to change the world.. and today the world has never been the same!!! I am excited for all these young leaders ( well carlos in not young) but im sure they will be a lot better than me.. i love the privilege of raising up the next gen.. hu ha!!!


TAKE HOME : GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE !!! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GOD CAN DO THROUGH THEM
