Our Little Girls' Double Celebration

And we have another member of our family.  Ladies and gentlemen, presenting - Cassey Faith P. Madjos, the second daughter of cuzzy Mary Bone aka Matoy (Hehehe.....)!  Yesterday, we welcomed baby Cassey to the Christian world as we had her dedication at Happy Church-Ozamiz.

With Pastor Elvie Go and Pastor Lina Auman

Then we had breakfast to also celebrate Ate Krishna's birthday in advance.

Thank you, Chicken Ati-Atihan Ozamiz for the balloon and leche flan for the birthday girl! 

To ate Krishna and baby Cassey, may you grow up to be good and obedient children.  May you always be healthy and make Lolo, Lola, Papa, and Mama happy!  We love you both! :)

Spiritual Sunday: God's Promise Fulfilled

Spiritual Sunday teaches all about life and our Big Boss.

Remember my post on Labor Day about the mini house of prayer that the people of Brgy. Bongbong, Ozamis City started to build?  Now by God's grace, I am so overwhelmingly glad to announce that it is now finished!  Yes, God has again made the impossible possible!  Yes, God has shown to His people that what He had started, He will finish!  And yes, God has been so faithful in fulfilling His promise!

Through the cooperation of the Happy Church, people from the Happy Church Bongbong Outreach, and other kind-hearted private individuals, the house of prayer is now completed with walls, ceilings, and flooring!  So the Happy Church Bible Study Center Bongbong Outreach was officially opened yesterday, August 3, 2013 at exactly 6 o'clock in the morning!  The founder of Happy Church, Pastor Elvie Go blessed the opening of the center together with missionaries Beth and Kendra.

A host of people gathered which made the first worship service held at the center fully jam-packed!  And this is only the beginning.  More and more people will come every week to hear God's word and to have fellowship with the other brethren.

Now that the bible study center is finished, Bongbong outreach leader Maria Lourdes T. Putis would like to thank all the people who had contributed to the success in putting up the building.  As mentioned in my previous post, everybody (men, women, kids, and oldies) took part in making their dream house of prayer come into reality.

Founded by prayer, this center would surely bring the good news to more people.  Founded by love, this center would surely bring more souls to the feet of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  For He is faithful and true!

So here's a quick vid telling the story of Happy Church Bible Study Center Bongbong Outreach:

Maundy Thursday: Visita Iglesia

Visita Iglesia or the Seven Churches Visitation is a Lenten tradition of the Roman Catholics.  It is observed by the pious visitation of seven churches or religious sites on Maundy Thursday.  But as a non-catholic, I don't do this custom.  So what I am going to post today is my top seven places of worship of various religions.

Place of Worship # 7 Sri Mariamman Temple 

This is the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore.  It has a lofty gopuram (monumental tower) at its entrance that is ornately made of Hindu deities.

Place of Worship # 6 Masjid Sultan Abu Bakar

This state mosque of Johor Bahru, Malaysia was built in between 1892 and 1900 under the direction of Sultan Abu Bakar.  It was inspired by English Victorian architecture with more of the Moorish architecture elements.  

Place of Worship # 5 Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum

This is the most visited Buddhist temple in Singapore.  It houses a hundred statues of Buddha and most importantly, the gold tooth relic of Buddha.  Buddhists from all over the world come to this sacred place as their act of veneration to the divine Buddha.

Place of Worship # 4 Cebu Taoist Temple

This Taoist Temple in Beverly Hills, Cebu was built for the Chinese community in the Philippines who believes and follows the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Zi.  It is where Taoist devotees climb the 81 steps which represent the 81 chapters of Taoism scripture.

Place of Worship # 3 Peñafrancia Basilica Minore

This Catholic church enshrines the image of the miraculous Our Lady of Peñafrancia in Naga City.  It has colorful glass mosaic windows and impressive hand-painted ceilings.  Thousands of pilgrims come to this church every September for the feast of the Holy Virgin.

Place of Worship # 2 Divine Mercy Hill

This Catholic shrine of the Sacred Heart in El Salvador, Misamis Oriental is the Philippine version of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.  It has a picturesque landscape of a hill overlooking the Macajalar Bay where the majestic and gigantic image of the Sacred Heart mightily stands. 

Place of Worship # 1 Happy Church

This is an evangelical born-again Christian church in Ozamis City founded by Pastor Elvie Go.  In here, there are no religious relics of deities, personas, nor saints.  For in here, we worship God in spirit and in truth.  That is why, we had become the largest born-again Christian church in the city reaching over 30 years and still going stronger!

For a Spirit-filled Sunday service and fellowship, visit Happy Church at Bernard Ave., Ozamiz City.
