when my sister in Christ Mel called me @ 1 in the morning, to tell me the news, i was pretty much stricken with disbelief...or shock, grief...just super sad.
once i heard the news i really didn't know what else to do but pray.
i've lost loved ones such as my grandma this past year, but never really a friend....
i served w Sam during the Philippines mission in 2010, planting EMC Dagupan... and this unique dude, served and dedicated his life to the Lord which transcended to his ministries and his communities... definitely loved. and both Ate Weng & Sam will be sincerely missed.
he was a seminary student & Pastor Ferdinand's eldest son, the head pastor for EMC Dagupan.
28 years old. man... had so much in store for him...so gifted.
i know that whether he lived or died, he'd want God to b glorified
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28
we are already planning for our 2012 Philippines mission & it's still so surreal to know that they are not gunna b there with us.
nonetheless, there's peace & joy to know they are with God and one day, we'll see them again :)
God bless u Kapatid, u da man. ty for everything ....
