When I was little -- like 6 to 7 years old -- I felt I was very lonely, because I don't have any playmates, nobody to talk to because we don't have any neighbors. There is a time I play and run with the piglets and chickens going to the mountain to let my self enjoy being a kid.

Years pass by but still I feel sorry and sad to myself because my classmates at school and people around me telling me that my mother is crazy, because she always talk by herself.

One time pastors went in the school where I study, and they would do the feeding. At that time also I have a big wound in my foot, so the pastor told me to visit at Refuge House to attend the church service so that they will pray for my big wound.

And I did, I went there, and the pastors prayed for me. At that moment when I sing their song, I could not hold my tears, and that moment I received Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and I surrendered to Him my life.

After that, Lolita and Ptr. Harrell let me come to their house and every weekend I slept there. Jesus started to change my lonely life into happiness. I just feel the gladness inside in my heart when I received Jesus as my Saviour.

I continue serving Him and let Our heavenly Father use me as worship leader of the children at Sunday service at refuge house.

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ because when I start giving my life to Jesus, there is blessing in my life. My prayers are answered and Lolita and Ptr. Harrell taking care of me.

I could not imagine in my life that I have a friend like Jesus and friends like parents to me like Ptr. harrell and Lolita. Thank you so much. God Bless You. Thank you also for all of your prayers and support.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU

FEEDING PROGRAM TESTIMONY

A blessed day to everyone, I am Ptr. Noel C. Olojan at Christian Alliance Church, Jose Rizal Aborlan Palawan. Do humbly express my deepest gratitude to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for His Greatness and Goodness bestowed upon and each everyone of us. I want to extend our thanks to Ptr. Harrell Hemingway as well as for the Discipleship feeding program he initiated, which helps us carry through the evangelism ministry of the church. We give thanks to the Lord through Ptr. Harrell Hemingway upon seeing the smiling faces of the children, singing heavenly songs and gladly praising the Lord, as we feed them spiritually first, by encouraging them, and telling stories from the Bible, and afterwards feeding them with the delicious mana pack, anticipating that they will grow healthier both in spiritual and physical aspects of the children's lives. The number of the children fed every week increases, and thanks to this discipleship, feeding program, that it helps establish rapport between us and the parents, this Discipleship, feeding program is the way to reach the parents who doesn't know yet about our Lord and Savior Lord Jesus Christ. As of now were praying that we could have establish more Bible Studies through this Program. Again, thanks to Ptr. Harrell, and may God grant you good health and more power, and by the grace of God we pray that you will keep up the good work and may God continue to use you effectively for this ministry. Thank you and more blessings be upon you as you faithfully serve Him ( proverbs 28:20)
