After giving back to God’s
Workers on our Project IV, we head back to our 3 original focus groups. THE
ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT will begin with our Indigents. Pastor Oscar Joaquin
& Brother Ramil De Los Reyes of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST FELLOWSHIP BAGUIO came
to me and asked for help in their first ever major Church endeavor which is the
“SALVATION OF SOULS”, and it has targeted these 136 Prison Indigents of Baguio
City Jail.
These Prison Indigents
that I’m referring to are the inmates who never had any visitors inside the
jail while serving their entire sentence. So they really receive nothing, in
terms of gifts such as hygiene kit, shirts or any food that they can eat inside
while locked away in these heavily guarded walls. Some of them have already
aged & grew old because they were serving life or double life. Some were
forgotten & neglected by their own blood. They were considered as troubled
outcasts of society. But I never saw them that way and personally, for me?
These are the People that we should tap in sharing God’s words because for
them, they have already built this belief in their mind that GOD had abandoned
them a long time ago, which is inevitably untrue. And also, these are the human
beings that we should share our love to and give our attention & concerns
coz’ there is nothing more depressing than having that feeling of bleakness
& misery within one’s self just because hopelessness had already consumed one’s
own soul. That is why, when Pastor Oscar Joaquin & Brother Ramil De Los
Reyes told me about GCF Baguio’s Project, without a single hesitation, I
corresponded with conviction and shouted “YES”! Because I firmly & sturdily
believe that these are the souls that we should prioritize in bringing closer
to our Creator.
So Praise GOD! On November
30, 2015, the project had pushed through and THE ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT was
one of the Major Sponsors aside from my Mentor when I was still studying in
Medicine, DR. ISRAEL YASAY, who is a true Man of God and of whom I admire &
aspire to become with if ever I develop into a Consultant Doctor in the future.
I’ve assisted him numerous of times before in his operations and undeniably, he
puts GOD first in everything that he does in his career & family, a truly
remarkable Christian.
On the day of the event, I
literally have witnessed these 136 Prison Indigents’ excitement because someone
has remembered to visit them. Someone saw what they have been through inside
the jail & gave value to them which really means a lot for them and you
could tell this by the look on their faces. They were also enthused in
receiving gifts this coming Christmas coz’ that is the true reason on why we
are celebrating it after all. And after the heartfelt & inspiring life
testimony of Pastor Eladio Javier, I saw the most important piece of the event
and that is, majority of them, of about 80 indigents accepted GOD in their
lives. I just purely & plainly fell into tears to what I have just witnessed.
It is such a powerful & moving manifestation that you really could feel the
Holy Spirit touch everyone in that function hall that Godly day…
"In the end, the most
significant gift that we have given them weren’t the material presents but the
souvenir of God’s Words… Coz’ they will use that permanently throughout their
entire lives, whether they remain serving inside or would go out of this
fortified walls. And the one sure thing is, it would never ran out of stock." One lesson that we could pick up in this compelling experience is… “GOD uses
numerous of vessels just to reach one soul, and yes! That is how important one
soul is to our GOD. He just wanted to remind each one of us, that he will
always love & never leave his children, even if at times, we have thought
so. We are just blinded by the World to see, that at what we thought GOD had
left us, is the opposite, we have been the ones who stayed away from him.”
The ARMANDO Q. LEYVA
PROJECT (PART 5) would like to thank Pastor Oscar Joaquin, Pastor Eladio
Javier, Brother Ramil De Los Reyes, Dr. Israel Yasay and the Workers of GCF
(Gospel of Christ Fellowship) Church Baguio. May our GOD do wonderful favors to
your heart’s desires…
Luke 10:27 said “Love the
Lord your GOD with all your heart & with all your sould & with all your
strength & with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself.”
