This was taken before Typhoon
Pedring hit their homes. What was left of
their homes were also affected by that Typhoon.
Now, we are again helping them stand up and
re-build. Some of them are being relocated
to our other Work with the Poor areas.
Continue
to pray and help our members.

On
her 5th month of pregnancy with our third
child, my wife Wang’s ultrasound showed
abnormality in our baby’s head. Hydrocephalus
was confirmed to be developing. Maybe due
to the history of such cases in the Philippines,
Wang was advised that she still had the choice
not to continue with the pregnancy. Not knowing
what to do, we tried to seek for a second
opinion, only to hear the same recommendations.
Only then did we decide that it is not up
to us anymore and that if God will take our
baby from us after birth, then so be it.

If
there was someone even more tireless than
our Servant General, it would be our Spiritual
Director Fr. Francis Gustilo, SDB. He goes
around the world giving advice, showing love
and imparting wisdom to all our brothers and
sisters. He is also teaching our fulltime
pastoral workers in one of their courses in
Don Bosco Center of Studies for their Masters
in Religious Studies. He is also part of the
International Theological Commission of the
Vatican. And he is doing even so much more
than that for community members and non-community
members. He has a heart of gold.
We
are proud to call him our friend.

Youth in Italy and all over Europe. Because

Everyone
knows Frank Padilla, Servant General and Founder
of Couples for Christ. But do you know who
he WAS? His story comes straight out of a
novel. With twists and turns, near-death experiences
and high drama. But all that changed when
he chose God.
Now
his twists and turns come from traveling
the world spreading the Gospel. He has death-defying
and high drama moments with his adventures
with nature. And all that comes out from
an endless spring of God’s love.
And
we can all have that, too. Choose God. He
chose you first.
