Good day EZER group!
I am Mark Anthony Deauna, 18 years old and one of the Sunday School Teacher here in Good Disciple Mission Church in Philippines.

 I love singing but my voice is not good to be a good singer, but even ay voice is not good I always sing and praise God. 

I remember when I wan in elementary, I do not go in any churches, because in Catholic when they have a first communion the priest slap their face, 

so I am afraid to slap may face, and my classmates ask me what is your religion I said to them Iglesia ni Cristo. 

Up to the Highschool they knew I'm Iglesia ni Cristo, then one time when I was in Grade 8 Brother Jhoven start a Bible Study in our school 

together with Mark Ebora and the other youth and we always attended in that Bible Study and we learned so many things. 

After that I know God and have faith in him, so I decided to follow him and to worship him every Sunday and one time I became a assistant teacher 

and after a few weeks I became a Sunday school teacher in Grade 1 here in our church and I also go in different places 

like Tongko and Polo to teach the children the word of God. And I decided to help someday as their personal 

Accountant and to support our ministry here in Zaballero, Tongko and also in Polo. 

I am currently enrolling for first year college in Manuel Enverga University. 

The course I am going to take is BS Accounting. I choose this course because it's may dream since I was a child, 

I want to manage money and to work in different Companies or Banks here in the Philippines and also 

I want to go to the other countries to work from their and to gain some money to help my family and also 

to support the needs of our ministry here in Zaballero, Tongko and Polo. When I finish my study and have a stable work, 

I will do what's on my dream to make it happen like help our ministry and may family and also to be their personal Accountant.

"I can do all this through him who gives me strength"
Philippians 4:13

Thank you so much and God bless, Jesus Loves you Follow Jesus

Dear EZER Group, A blessed day to everyone.

First of all I would like to give honor and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. 

I am very thankful for all the things that He has done and what He will do for me, 

for my family and most especially for the ministry that He entrusted to us. All the glory is what God deserves.

My name is Angelito Palanca, 28 years old. My family and I living at Lucena City, Philippines. 

When Missionary Jeong came to Philippines she conducted a Bible Study in our place and some of my relatives attended there. 

I was 6 years old when I first met Missionary Jeong, and that was the time I started to attend Bible Study and later on when I grew up I lived

 at the church. After my middle school I decided went to the other place for work because our father left us and only my mother work to 

support us in our school and for our everyday needs. But because of God’s grace I came back to the church and 

He gave me a chance to study again and especially to serve Him again. I finished my college degree with the course of Bachelor of Elementary Education, 

then I worked at Philippine Valor Mission School as an elementary teacher. I decided to quit my job to pursue what God wants me to do. 

I am praying to go back at the seminary to learn more, to equip more and to be ready to do His will. 

For now my mother or my family can’t able to support me, that is why I’m humbly praying that God touch the heart 

of His people to become a channel of blessing to support me for my study in the seminary. My dream is to become a good pastor to the church 

that God entrusted to me that is why I want to learn more. My goal as a leader of church is to help every church 

members to know more about God and to guide them to grow in their faith to our Lord Jesus Christ. 

As a disciple I really want to make a good disciples who makes good disciple of Christ too. 

Missionary Jeong inspired me for all the things she has done, her sacrifices, passion and her love for God and for the ministry. 

I am looking forward that someday I may not be like her I want God use my life as He used her for His will and for His Kingdom.

Thank you everyone may the Lord our God bless you all!

I am Maria Zilla Baterna, 18 years of age and one of the aspiring descendants here in Good Disciple Mission Church in the Philippines. 

I love singing, specially when it comes on praising and
glorifying God. I remember when I was on my elementary days I was around 7 years old at that time when a stranger came to us (Missionary Lee) 

and taught us about the word of God then I was like "so that was the world created" I dunno, 

maybe "curiosity" hit me at that time then suddenly came up with the mindset " 

I want to know more about the word of god, how things created, who created the world and etc. " 

and up untill now I am still believing and glorifying him. 

I am currently enrolling as a first year college student at SLSU (Southern Luzon State University ) taking up Bachelor of secondary Education major in English, 

it's really hard for me to pursue my studies but I know God won't let me do this things alone.

 maybe you're all wondering why I take this course, but one thing is for sure I'm happy sharing 

my knowledge to others who can't afford to have it you know growing up in a poor family gave me as an eye-opener that education really matters.
My father is a security guard while my mother is a housewife. My mother was diagnosed with a heart disease but we manage 

to deal with it because we believe in God. In the near future when I finish my study and became a license teacher I want to share my knowledge, 

and also give inspiration to the students, that no matter how hard it is just believe and hang onto him "He always got your back!" 

I also want to share my burning passion to all descendants youth in polo which is happen to be "my home" and build a strong community 

within our area. I will also help our church at any chance . I know that before it all happens, 

there will be more struggles to come and I know God will help me to deal with it nicely.

Again, Good day!
Thank you Po and God bless.

Good Day EZER group!
I am Mark Ebora, 18 years old and one of the Sunday School Teacher in Good Disciple mission Church here in the Philippines.

 I love playing guitar, playing a song of praise for the Lord. I remember when I was in elementary, 

I want to go to church, but I dont know where or what church I must go. I grew up being curious how God works. 

Moreover, this is the time when I was in Grade 8, I've heared that there was a bible study near our classroom. 

I'm begun to think " what if I try to attend this bible study, maybe this is the church I am searching for". 

And I attended that bible study, I learned so many things about God. The desire in my heart to know him,

 fired up. That bible study build up my faith in Christ. The time passed, I became a Sunday School Teacher. 

I love teaching stories about God, about Christ who died for us. I love the Children. 

And promised to my self that when I graduated and finish my study I want to help the Children of God. 

I will support the Church of Christ who preach the Word of God to the childrens and adults.
I am currently enrolling for first year college in Manuel Enverga University. 

The course I am going to take is BS Electronics Engineering .

 I choose this course because of my father's dream and also my dream since when was a teenager. 

Back when I was a child, My father is good of repairing Electronics devices. I'd always watching my father repairing some stuff, 

like our gadgets, television and radio. That's why it became my hobby, and my hobby became a dream. 

I want to continue and pursue the dream of my father, which is also my dream.

 I want to finish my study and help my family, my siblings and specially the church, the Good Disciple Mission Church. 

When I finish my study and have a stable job, I will support the church and help our sunday school students.

 Before ,this dream was just for myself and for my family but when the day come that I met Christ,

 I make this dream for Him, for his Kingdom, for His Church. 

I know that it will be hard for me to pursue this dream I had but I believe His word in 

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all this through him who gives me strength".

Thank you po and Godbless

2022년부터 후원을 시작한 알티 바우티스타

I`m Alfie F. Bautista and I am currently taking an Architecture course here in the Philippines at Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation. 

I`m the youngest sibling in five in the family, I grew up in the slums of my province, Catanduanes, 

way back before my father is abaca farmer and a fisher man as well and my mother is the one who walk kilometers just to sold the fish to our neighborhood area, 

that life we had there is reason why we have to moved here in Lucena City, 

Quezon for us to survive. In fact, I also didn`t expect that the time will come that I will have a dream in life, 

I thought I will grow old there and past generations used to do before then it will also be my destiny.

 My mother and father are now a senior citizens reason why my older brother and sister became the breadwinner of the family. 

Unfortunately, due to the low minimum wage of our country my siblings cannot or will not be able to cover the expenses 

of the whole family, in fact I have another brother who is now in college as well and this is why I had to temporarily 

stop to give way to my graduating brother because we couldn’t afford the expense. At a young age I became interested in the arts, 

in fact I also won several competitions when it comes to painting in our school when I was in elementary and it continued 

from Junior High until I entered Senior High School, this all happened the time we move here in Lucena.

 Just like other children dreamed before I also experience where my dream varied what I wanted to achieve in life but being an architect in the future prevailed in my heart. 

But I always knew that the time would come when it would be difficult for me to go to college due to economic issue 

but I hope that it will not be a hindrance for me to finish school and achieve my dream 

because I know that someone is helping me and working of the plan for my success, God. 

When I was in elementary school, I went to our church's Sunday school and I have always been very grateful to them for shaping me and also

 for building my faith in God that is the reason why I continued to serve god through bible study during high school 

and go to the church every Sunday to serve, gave thanks and praise him to all the things he has done for me and my family. 

God made me understand that if you can`t change the situation then change the way you think, there are plenty of ways to conquer the struggle. 

Perhaps this is my call-in life as it is already planned for me by Him and I will never doubt because I know that it is always perfect. 

If you give me the opportunity, I will be very grateful, 

you did not just give me an opportunity but also guidance and strengthen my focus for what I wanted to become someday.

Thank you and God Bless!

Dear Ezer Group,

I am Mary Louise B. Gariando incoming 3rd-year college taking Bachelor of Science in Economics.

 I have three other siblings then our family is an active member of Good Disciple Mission Church.

 I am serving the Lord and belong to the Music team and Sunday School Teacher Ministry along with this I am also 

an active student leader in our school because I love joining different organizations to serve other people. 

With God's help I'm a consistent Honor Student, holding my principle of doing my dreams for ‘’God and my Country’’. 

Aiming to finish my studies and to become a lawyer someday,

 to give justice to those who need legal assistance that cannot afford attorneys, and to fight for those helpless and oppressed people.

My father was an Overseas Filipino Worker in Dubai, because of the pandemic their company is currently not in a good position.

The majority of the time, my father's paycheck was late, which prevented me from paying the monthly tuition expenditures on time. 

As a result, months went by and the payment grew in size, so it’s always a huge burden with our household expenses. 

This scholarship will not only help with our financial issues but also provide me the opportunity to pursue my aspirations and ideals for God and humanity. 

I highly appreciate your consideration of this application, thank you so much and God bless.

Sincerely ,

Mary Louise B. Gariando
