AFC TESTIMONIES
MISSION TRIP 2000




Micah:   I feel that I should go be going on the mission trip because
I know that it will further help me grow more in my faith.  I
see a lot of learning experiences that are just waiting because
of this mission trip.  My hope is that I can help influence at
least one person with their decision concerning salvation. 


Jaccem:  "THE REASON I WANT TO GO ON THIS MISSON TRIP IS TO BE
ABLE TO SHARE  MY TESTIMONY WITH SOMEONE AND BE ABLE TO LEAD
SOMEONE TO CHRIST. ALSO GOING ON THIS TRIP WILL ALSO ALLOW ME TO
GROW MORE SPIRITUALY AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT LEARNING
EXPERIANCE FOR ME. ALSO PRAYING FOR THIS TRIP HAS TAUGHT THAT I
SHOULD PLACE MORE TRUST IN GOD EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T  SEE THE PATH
HE WANTS ME TO TAKE. GOD KNOWS WHATS BEST. ALSO I THINK IT WOULD
BE A GREAT TESTIMONY FOR ME WHEN I COME BACK TO BE ABLE TO SHARE
THE EXPERIANCE I HAD ON THIS  TRIP WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS." 


Ruby:    "i believe that i shuold go because i know that God will use me
during this trip to do whatever He wants me to do.  i know that
this trip will help me grow more closer to Him and will also help me grow
spiritually...i belive that God has a lot of things to teach me
during this trip and i am willing to learn...i know that this
trip is not for pleasure and that is not the reason why i want
to go. like what i will be singing..for my testimony..i want to
be used by God and this is a chance that i can be used by Him." 


Raechel:  "I'm going on the missions trip because i've been
praying if I should go or not, and God's really showing me that
I should go! I wasn't sure at first because I thought I had to
go to school, but God comes first and all other things will
follow! I think it'll be a good experience and that I'll learn a
lot and grow more in the Lord. The trip will also help equip us
for our future ministries for God! I hope and pray that we will
all be a blessing to everyone there! and That everything we do
will only be for Gods glory!" 


Reaiah:   "i can go because i really am very seriouse about
this.. everything i said in my testimony.. how GOD is still
working on me, and stuff so i can grow is true.. and a way i
grow is by doing His work.. well this is one of His work.  And i
also ment wat i said when i mentioned this mission trip would be
a great learning experience, thats a way of growing too.... and
i believe it'll be great for all of us.. including Me.. In a way
when i shared my testimony, that was my way of telling everyone
that i wanted to go and serve GOD... thats my reason.. i'm
pretty clear on that now.. but i am still prayin for each of us
to not forget our real reason.. coz i believe if we stick to
that and follow GOD's plan.. then the rest will follow.." 


Karen:    "i believe this trip will help me to get back on track
with my spiritual life, plus help me to get closer to God and at
the same time proclaim and witness my relationship with Jesus
Christ and how He died for our sins in order to save us from
hell.  I hope that this reason for me goin could make u see that
I really really want to go to this missions trip and that God is
telling me to show my love for Him..."


Chrissy:  "i've been praying really hard and i know that i
really wanna go on this missions trip and i think that God wants
me to go too... i mean, like it's not juss my will but His too,
y' know? i mean, i'm really happy with my spiritual progress
right now and i think that going on this trip will make me grow
more in the Lord  and i really want that, so i think it's really
great that we have this missions trip where we can have a great
experience with missions and at the same time grow more in the
Lord! i also think that through this missions trip, God will
reveal His will for me on what i should do with the rest of my
life.....which will be good, 'coz right now, i have no clue...
what i'm trying to say is, what if God wanted me to be a
missionary? well, after going on this missions trip, i think
that it'll be pretty clear to me by then  if God is calling me
to do missions or whatever or, maybe he wants me to be something
else..... y' know what i'm saying? so anyways... i guess that's
it for now... i'm juss really glad to be a part of this trip and
i hope that we'll all grow more in Him after this experience..." 


Rhoeben:  "I've been to a point where I just wanna quit and
couldn't continue on. But deep inside...not my conscience, but
my faith keeps me going down that same direction. It's always
been the one way direction for me, although ups and downs
sometimes. With this mission trip, I'm hoping to have a great
impact in my spiritual life. I really believe that I belong to
go this mission trip because I want to be part of changing the
life of others. I wanna be there with God just like what He
always done for me..." 


Karlo:    "The mission has always been with me (w/us) and it is
not something we had to wait for. Sharing Jesus is a life long
journey even in our community as we have been doing all along
lately. I feel that I'm blessed being part of this special group
of young men and women and that all (if not most) of us have
grown up physically, mentally and spiritually up to this very
day ever since the years I've spent at PIBC.  Only this time we
get an opportunity to reach out to a much 
broader scale. I see a lot of possible learning potential and
valuable experiences in the mission trip. Just as Rhoeben said
in his testimony, I hope and pray that this is not an end but
the beginning of something more precious as we grow further in
our Christian faith.  All in all, I can't make you believe nor
everyone else what I know and what I believe just by a simple
letter. Only God knows what's truly in my heart. But 
through prayer and supplementation, I ask that the Lord will
touch my heart and keep using me in his glory." 


Kristine:   "My purpose of going to this Mission Trip is to be
used by the Lord to tell the people who are unbelievers that
they need Jesus Christ and His salvation in their lives. I am
still shy about sharing Jesus Christ to some people that I know
in school who are unbelievers because I don’t know if they will
accept me for being a Christian. I hope this Mission Trip will
also help me to strengthen my faith and 
trust in the Lord. I  also hoped to be able to share Jesus
without fear to the people that I encounter in school and at
work."


Ivan:  "I believe that this mission trip will be a blessing to
all of us. because there are lots of reasons to it. It will help
us to be mature christians and to be more focus to God. I have
search my heart and prayed to God about this upcoming mission
trip. I believe that if i will be going to the mission trip, it
will help me a lot to be near to God, and I would grow
spiritually and be strong im my faith. and also it would give me
confidence and boldness  to share God's word to people without
being ashamed.  My passion is really I want to served God by
reaching out to people and give glory to his name. that's why
were here in this world to served God and, surely that is what
im gonna be doing in the MissionTrip.
