AUGUST 21, 2013- WEDNESDAY

TO THE GOD OF GODS,LORD OF LORDS, WHO IS THE GOD OF LOVE, COMPASSION, MERCY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND JUSTICE WE OFFER OUR MISSION WORKS.

REPORTING THE MISSION WORKS WE HAVE DONE THIS DAY.

MORNING:

RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE:

ONE OF THE POOR FAMILIES WE ARE HELPING HAVE BEEN SEVERELY AFFECTED BY THE FLOOD, TO THE POINT THAT ALL THEIR POSSESSIONS WERE CONSUMED BY THE RIVER.

THEY ASKED TEMPORARY SHELTER TO SOMEONE WHOM THE FIRST ELDER HAVE HELPED IN THE PAST, BUT THEY WERE DRIVEN AWAY.

WITHOUT ANYTHING, THEY ASKED HELP FROM US.

AT THE START OF THE DAY, WE HAVE NOTHING AT ALL.

THE FIRST ELDER ONLY HAS P50

WE CROSSED THIS FLOODED PART OF THE STREET.

 THEN WE CROSSED THIS FLOODED AREA.

 PAID FOR THE TRANSPORTATION IN CROSSING THIS FLOODED AREA.

NOTHING REMAINS WITH US AT THIS POINT.

WE THEN BORROWED P27 FROM SOMEONE TO GO TO M LHUILLER BRANCH THAT I KNOW OF.

 THE M LHUILLIER BRANCH WE VISITED WAS CLOSED BECAUSE IT WAS DAMAGED BY FLOOD.

WE HAVE TO CROSS THE FLOOD YOU SEE IN THIS PICTURE JUST TO VISIT THAT M LHUILLIER BRANCH

THE REMAINING MONEY WE HAVE AT THIS TIME IS P14

 WITH ONLY P14 REMAINING, WHICH IS P11, WHICH IS ENOUGH FOR THE FARE BACK FOR ME AND MY COMPANION.

INFORMED OUR ELDER IN THE VISAYAS ABOUT OUR SITUATION, AND SHE VOLUNTEERED TO SEND US HELP TO SAVE US FROM OUR AWFUL SITUATION.

I SEARCHED FOR MY POCKET, AND FOUND THIS P5.

WITH THIS, TOGETHER WITH THE P11, WE ARE ABLE TO GO TO AN AREA WHERE THERE IS LBC.

 OUR ELDER FROM THE VISAYAS SENT US P1,000 FOR ASSISTANCE.

THE PICTURE BELOW IS THE FATHER OF THE POOR FAMILY WHO HAS 5 CHILDREN.

HE IS WITH ONE OF HIS CHILDREN WHEN HE MEET US.

 ALL THEIR POSSESSIONS WERE DEVASTATED BY THE FLOOD TOGETHER WITH THEIR HOME. 

THEY WERE DENIED SHELTER BY THE SAME PERSON WHOM OUR FIRST ELDER HAS HELPED IN THE PAST.

 UPON RECEIVING THE P1,000 FROM LBC, GAVE THE P1,000 TO THIS POOR FAMILY.

THE POOR FAMILY WE HAVE HELPED GAVE ME P150 FROM THE P1,000 GIVEN THEM, KNOWING THAT I HAVE NO MONEY AT HAND.

 AFTER THIS, I WENT TO CEBUANA LHUILLIER, WHERE I RECEIVED THE P300 DONATION FROM ONE OF OUR BRETHREN IN METRO MANILA.

IN RETURN, SENT AN ITEM WHICH HE WANTS ME TO SEND TO HIM VIA LBC.

AFTER THIS, I HAVE P180 WITH ME TO GO ON WITH THE MISSION WORK.

THE MONEY ON HAND I HAVE I HAVE SPENT TO GO TO ANOTHER M LHUILLIER BRANCH.

THE JEEPNEY DID NOT STOP AT THE RIGHT LOCATION THAT WE HAVE TO WALK A LONG DISTANCE TO GO TO ANOTHER M LHUILLIER BRANCH.

MET POOR CHILDREN ALONG THE WAY

HAVING MONEY AT HAND, GAVE THEM PART OF WHAT I HAVE.

THESE POOR CHILDREN HAVE NOT EATEN FOR A DAY BECAUSE OF THE FLOOD.

DISTRIBUTED AVAILABLE FUNDS AT HAND.

 WE THEN ARRIVED AT ANOTHER M LHUILLIER BRANCH.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT BRANCH IS ALSO CLOSED BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTERS ENCOUNTERED WATER DAMAGE FROM THE FLOOD.

WE ARE THEN REFERRED TO ANOTHER BRANCH, WHICH WE WENT.

WHEN WE ARRIVE AT ANOTHER M LHUILLIER BRANCH, I FILLED OUT THE FORM GIVEN TO ME.

THEN, I WAS ASKED BY THE EMPLOYEE OF THAT BRANCH ON THE AMOUNT TO BE RECEIVED.

THE DONATION WAS SENT BY OUR ELDER IN CANADA.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE AMOUNT OF DONATION WAS NOT SPECIFIED.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE AMOUNT SENT.

WITH THIS, I WENT AROUND TO FIND AN INTERNET SHOP, BUT NONE WAS OPEN AT THAT TIME.

I WAS FORCED TO GO BACK TO THAT M LHUILLIER BRANCH TO ASK IF THERE IS A WAY FOR ME TO OBTAIN SUCH DONATION WITHOUT SPECIFYING THE AMOUNT.

I WAS TOLD IT IS A NECESSARY INFORMATION.

I PRAYED TO GOD FOR HELP.

I ENTRUST TO GOD EVERYTHING.

THEN, A VISION CAME TO ME.

I SAW 2 NUMBERS: 5 AND 0 TOGETHER.

I TOLD M LHUILLIER TO WRITE 50 CANADIAN DOLLARS AS THE AMOUNT SENT TO ME.

THEN, AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF WAITING, I WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE THE REMITTANCE.

OUR ELDER FROM CANADA INDEED SENT ME 50 CANADIAN DOLLARS, WHICH UPON CONVERSION TO PHILIPPINE PESOS, IS AT P2,100.

THIS IS WHAT I DID WITH THE SAID MONEY.

P1,000 OF THIS DONATION I ENTRUSTED TO OUR FIRST ELDER, TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED. 

 THE P600 OF THIS SENT MONEY I GAVE TO THE POOR FAMILIES WE ARE HELPING.

WE MET THEM AGAIN AFTER OBTAINING THIS DONATION.

 THIS WILL HELP THEM IN THIS TIME OF NEED.

 MET A POOR MAN WHOM I SAW TO BE EATING FOOD FROM A GARBAGE CAN.

BOUGHT FOOD AND GAVE THIS TO HIM.

 ASIDE FROM THIS, GAVE HIM MONEY TO HELP HIM SURVIVE THE DAY.

LATER, OUR ELDER FROM BAHRAIN DONATED P1,997 FOR THE CAUSE OF HELPING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

GAVE A PART OF THIS DONATION FOR POOR FAMILIES DEVASTATED BY THE FLOOD.

 THE REMAINING FUNDS AT HAND I GAVE IT ALL TO THE POOR WHOM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS DAY.

I JUST SAVED P20 FOR TRANSPORTATION BACK HOME.

THE REST, I GAVE IT ALL TO THE POOR WHO WERE AFFECTED BY THE FLOOD. 

I THEN WENT BACK HOME, OFFERING TO OUR GOD THESE MISSION WORKS.

ALL FUNDS WITH ME ARE SPENT TO THE MISSION WORKS- TO GLORIFY OUR GOD IN ALL OF THESE.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
