134 Inmate Raymond Dolfo Testimony

134 Inmate Raymond Dolfo Testimony 20th August 2001

Dear Brethren,

I am writing my life testimony, so that I may tell the whole world, how our Lord Jesus Christ turned my past dead life into a wonderful transformation in God’s grace, of peace, joy and happiness with my fellowmen.

My past dead life was full of sins doing things that God didn’t like me to do. I did not recognize my neighbors and didn’t care for what they want. All I knew was I was confident in my self and I did not need them in my life for I didn’t ask any help from them because I knew I had plenty of money to spend for my needs. To the extent that I even forgot the Lord Almighty. What was important to me was money; money and that was all. When I prayed it was all for money and forgetting to ask God for forgiveness for my shortcomings with m y fellow man.

But God has his own way of punishing people like me. In 1986 God gave me a big legal problem for infidelity and put me in jail. God took away from me all His gifts. My house, cars, business contract etc. The only thing left on me was the cloth I was wearing the day I was arrested by the police.

In jail I realized all my sins and atrocities with my fellow men. I cried so loud to God for His deliverance and made penance for my sins. One early morning in the summer of 1989 a group of born again prison outreach team handed me my first Holy Bible. I had never read the bible in my life and when I came to read the very first chapter of Genesis, that I learned Gods plan for man. While in jail the bible became my constant companion. I initiated the bible study session in my own cell with my co-inmates and it went good. I felt God was really using me to spread the words of God to my fellow men.

The indulgence of reading the holy Bible from Genesis to the last word of Revelation gave me a nice gift from God. My legal problem was removed and I was released from confinement. Before I left my cell to rejoin the free society with my family, I made a covenant with God, that I would conduct a World Peace Mission Center in the Philippines. The painful aspect of this mission was I would just walk my way to other nations to ask for small donations for this purpose, just to feed me on my travels etc.

When I was released from jail the first thing I did was to draw a straight line on the map of the world and compute how long it would take me to return to the Philippines. My computations say that I will painfully walk for ten (10) straight years and would pass through war torn nations like

268 Iraq and Iran, India and Pakistan with many deadly obstacles. Realizing my painful task I began to ask the Lord for modifications, if God would consider a covenant with Him in a sitting position instead of standing.

God is really very considerate and He has his own good plans for me. Before God gave me His second phase of action for my commission ship as Gods singing evangelist. I remember being in church praying to God to teach me where to start my mission. A very soft whisper came, and was telling me to start with the “Theater”. I was astonished with this message. What has the theater to do with my doing the mission? Does it mean I will exhibit a show to the public and give its proceeds to charity?

Early in the morning I rose up and went to every metropolitan theatre telling the owners and administrators of my intention. But because of financial problems they were not able to put me on contract. I presumed that was not God’s will to use the theatre for my mission.

In 1994 I was again jailed for Large scale Illegal Recruitment and this time I was really innocent for my crime. During my silent mediation with God I was asking Him for plans ahead for me. While in jail I continued in my bible teaching in all cells. Finally in 1989 God first revealed His plan for me. The soft whisper came again to me one night while I was half asleep. Telling me to include my singing during my bible study. At first I objected to God for my singing because I didn’t know how to sing and I cannot even play or strum the guitar. The soft voice was very insistent: “just do it and you will do it”. That week I re-programmed my bible teaching that includes my singing in between every part, consisting of contumacy and spiritual songs. It went all right and I discovered my new God given talent of singing and later on I was already working on composing my own songs.

In 1998 on the past calibration of New Year I made my first attempt of performing my first solo Concert entitled “Genesis”. During that concert which I offered to the Lord and mankind I heard the words of the voice of the Holy Spirit of God: “Start from the Theatre” then I realized whilst singing on stage what I was doing. I am the theatre indeed and was performing a song to God and all mankind.

At present I am still in prison and awaiting my final release from confinement. My covenant with God was for me to walk ten (10) straight years around the world for my mission. But God modified it by putting me instead here in prison for ten (10) straight years in order to be equipped prior to my big task of singing as Gods ambassador of good will to all prisons around the world.

Now I am studying evangelism and taking a two-year course in B.S. Theology at the NBP Theological Institute. From time to time during
