A speech delivered during SunCell’s 25th anniversary on September 2018
Good afternoon, brothers and sisters in Christ, and friends. Happy 25th anniversary! Wow! Praises to God indeed. For by His grace we are now celebrating the 25th year of SunCell.
I was with SunCell from 1998 to year 2004. It was during my 3rd year High School in PCGS (Kian-Kee) till my 5th year college in the University of San Carlos. Ptr. Alice Huang, fondly called Yok-Le Chi, Sis. Rosa, Sis. Paz and other leaders in church always reach out to us every Sunday.
The SunCell schedule was in the afternoon after the morning church service.
Whenever we would miss it, they would visit us in our house. They labored, though one cannot understand what potential there is or why they worked so hard to lead us closer to God and to prevent us from backsliding in our daily walk with God.
Looking back on those years, I’m very grateful to the Lord for the people who guided me in my spiritual walk. I’ve been encouraged to keep running the race and never give up. Otherwise, I would have lived my life far away from the Lord. I would have been discouraged, empty, and without direction. SunCell had been a training ground for me to develop a deeper relationship with our God.
Now, God has put me in Trinity Christian Fellowship in Bacolod City where I continue to be a disciple as I disciple others also. It is my prayer that all of you:
- will never give up your faith in our God;
- will be strong; and
- will all finish the race
