Channel of blessing

It is a great joy to be part of being a channel of blessing even with just on simple things. Last December 2011, we received blessings in a form of material items or packages. These gifts were given by a school, which I don't exactly remember the name, but perhaps I only know as where Ma'am Joy Cawaon, wife of Manong Nicky, work with. Their school selected our group "Apalan-Guesset Fellowship" for the recent year 2011 as where they would share their blessings and extend help as well, with some goods and usable items.

Manong Nicky contacted me through manang nadj, through a text message. Saying manong Nicky wanted to talk to me before Sunday. I wasn't really sure of what the agenda was or never did expect anything like it. But, alas! 30 items or packages to be given to families and bags for kids. As manong Nicky explained, it's one way perhaps to encourage or entice people to continue and/or hear the gospel of Christ.

At some point, I was caught off-guard not knowing how to deal with such. We discussed with my parents, as how to give it, since it's limited to 30 families and knowing that other than ministering to Apalan-Guesset, we also minister to places of Beckel, Daclan, and Cubabeng... So we decided primarily to share the blessings to families of the Apalan-Guesset Fellowship. We first gave 4 packages to members with families of the said fellowship who actually resides in Beckel (30 minutes-ride from Baguio City) when we had our prayer meeting last January 4, 2012. On January 8, 2012, my father and mother with a couple of companions went to Daclan, as my father is scheduled to speak there every 2nd Sunday of the month. They were able to give 6 packages of the items to the place of Daclan. We, who held service at Guesset, then gave away 15 packages for each members with families. The packages were given after the service, with the hope that much more than the packages they've received they shall treasure more the knowledge of knowing Christ as their Lord and Savior. Other packages were distributed amongst those who volunteer and accompany us coming from Loakan and also gave some of families whom bible studies were rendered in the area of Beckel.

Last January 22, 2012, we too then gave bags for the kids after their Sunday School. Janice, who volunteered as teacher for the Apalan-Guesset, wasn't available at that time so Liberty, Ruth and Lovelle came with us to teach and handle the kids. Some of it were given to other places that would be blessed by having received new bags and such.

chebed's maybe one unforgettable event of her life.. =)

See how God has been gracious to my sister... the impact was mostly near where she was seated but she only had minor injuries, except for her eardrum which has burst due to impact and made a hole in her eardrum... but the doctor says it is highly to heal within 2-3 months.. hopefully indeed.. Thanking God greatly for His protection still....



As narrated by my sister:

Just after their outing with her batchmates in Pugad Adventure, they went off to come back to Baguio. Four of them drove off  coming back home. They were at first enjoying the ride while talking about what food would they eat when suddenly they saw a bus coming down uncontrollable and swirving along the lanes. As what they've heard from passengers of the bus, they had a loose break and the driver tried to bang or slide along a wall to try to slow down the bus but uncontrollably the bus bounced back hitting the car where my sister was seated to.... my sister was seated at the back of the driver's seat, the same side where the bus hit and probably made much damage. After the event, simply remembered she was being carried on a pick-up who came to rescue them and went off towards Baguio General Hospital. After them, other passengers of the bus also came to the Hospital. And there they were given aid. Praise and Thank God not much harm was done upon them. Perhaps the most damaging to my sister was that her left eardrum popped out or burst out due to the impact but the doctor said, it could heal for 2-3 months, hopefully.
