in style, in influence, in heart She anchors her strength to the Supreme God who is able to perform great miracles
I
n every experience that she encounters, it higlights her shift in responsibilties and passions. She has deppened her well of confidence through engaging herself to different training and seminars where she found courage to accept new opportunities proving that she is indeed every inch a woman of God-accomplishe and fulfilled, yet her strength is always anchored to the creator. With this attitude, she successfully transitioned from being a passionate Public School Teacher to a courageous servant of God. Her enduring resilience and willpower to handle multiple directorship in the ministry yet she is able to make ends meet by the sheer work of her hand and the love for her family. With a heart filled with contentment and pride, she makes it certain that that God and family are at the center of her life. To mark the biggest evidence, we have posted the written piece to elucidate her persona of what she is really is as a wife and a mother.

I
f there is a person whom I know from the heart is my wife. She is a kind of a person without a “BRAKE”. She does not know how to slow down the schedule of her activities, in such a way that you could hardly breath if you dance or go with her in all her schedules. She is very passionate in doing things in relation to her responsibility and very committed to her work even if it means a sacrifice to her family and to herself. I remember the time when I encouraged her to do public evangelism, at first she was adamant to engage such kind of endeavor in the ministry, nevertheless, she tried conducting one and it was successful with the harvest of souls accepting Jesus through baptism. From that time on, she became passionate and courageous to conduct evangelistic campaigns with the minimum of 5 to 6 campaigns every year. Aside from her schedules for evangelistic campaigns, she was also busy with her departmental programs and activities. Her indefatigable enthusiasm in doing the services even beyond the call of duty has created waves of influence among leaders and church members, thus she is always remembered with tokens and gifts. There were times when people could hardly understand her, maybe because of her un-ending programs and tiresome activities. For these reasons, when you can see her alone, as if she was spurious, but in reality her mind was encumbered with so many things, thinking of what next are to be done. She is a kind of a woman whom you don’t want to part from her, because of her endearing personality. You might get angry with her, yet for a while, you will start looking for her for she is so desirable that can make the world up-side-down. That’s my WIFE!

M
y mother is very dedicated in doing God’s work. I know she’s been having doubts before if she could preach God’s word and do his work, but God never left her and guide her all the way. I am proud of having a mother who is very courageous, energetic and has a passion to do the Lord’s ministry. She achieved a lot of things that I cannot imagine myself of doing and that gives me the courage to do the same as well. When I was little, I started to realize that my mother likes pink a lot because she bought me a lot of pink things from toys to clothes to school supplies which I guess led me to liking pink as well and to the point that my sister also followed. It was fun for us to share things with each other like clothes, shoes (though her shoe size is smaller than ours), skin care products and many more. She has been a supportive mother and good role model to the three of us, her children. She is like my best friend who I can always share my secrets to and always readyto listen to all my problems. We actually have a few in common from ourpersonalities to our habits. That’s why we can understand each other and correct each others faults. Now that I am away from my parents and have my own family, she is always available to all my queries and listens to all my worries. I know it wasn’t easy to raise the three of us with our father but they did it! We wouldn’t be what we are now if not for their constant reminders and with their nonstop prayers. We are very blessed to have a mother like her. I hope and pray that she will continue to touch more lives and be courageous and energetic as she goes on to her next assignment. We love you, mommy!
It seem though s as so muc you have h en and pa ergy ssio for the n Lord.
Just wanted to say that it has been a blessing and privilege to see how the Lord has been working with you. It seems as though you have so much energy and passion for the Lord. I know that you are always willing to go where the Lord leads and that you endeavor to be a blessing to all those with whom you come into contact. I believe that God has a big purpose for you and Pastor Jerry in Sri Lanka. Our prayer is that the Lord will bless and guide your new posting opportunity as He has blessed your time in Central Mindanao Mission. To God be the Glory. Isaiah 6:8 and Mathew 28:18-20/ Sir Burl William Haper III My dear daughter Marife, I remember you asked me over 2 years ago if you can call me mommy and I was very proud to accept our ministry “ Oceans of Love”. I am very proud and grateful for all you have done for this ministry. Although I have been to the Philippines 5 times so far and then covid hit and wasn’t able to return hope that will change soon. God Bless you more as you start your new endeavors in Sri Lanka. The new people you will be meeting. They will be blessed as I have. I’ll never forget the times in Davao, you and Jerry took us from our ministry out to lunch and would not let us pay. Also that you both took out time of your busy schedules to entertain us. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know the Lord will bless you whoever you go. Blessing and I love you both. /Mom Dianne Hodges This is a short dedication message to our friends Mrs. Fe and Pastor Patalinghug. We started our friendship in SPUC where my children were students of Maam Fe and I am a tennis partner of Pastor Jerry. That friendship grew into a beautiful partnership in the ministry not only in SPUC but in all places where they are assigned in new responsibilities and missions. I have seen pastor Jerry worked passionately in his ministry because God has given him a very supportive wife. I have seen also Ma’am Fe became very effective on her ministry because she has a very loving and understanding husband. They have become a very strong tandem in God’s work. Now they are called to serve in uncharted territory in Sri Lanka. I am saying uncharted because this is the first time where the culture and the language of the people is a challenge. But I say there is no work so big for this couple not to overcome because God’s Grace is with them. I know there will be more tears for Ma’am Fe that will flow from her eyes (because) i know her as a crying woman but it shows strength. Thus the more she cries the stronger she becomes! As for Pastor Jerry he thrives of challenges and never backs off because of his strong faith and prayerfulness. I can only pray and cheer them on their ministry because they also do it for us as we labor and press on spreading the Good news throughout the world. So go on my friends go on!/Jay Salcedo To my very dear friend, Marife, Eleonor Roosevelt once said, “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.” Being together for so many years having the same passion, creates a remarkable memory that will linger forever in my sound mind. The things we did, the stories we shared, the laughter we burst and the tears we shed will be placed in a box with a mark- Treasured Friendship. I want to remember you as a WOMAN, who, in good and bad times never forget her capacity to smile, laugh, and cry nor to inspire others with warmth and kindness. Though “straight to the point” but got a big heart to prepare people for heaven. My heart will always be with you, Pheng!/ma’am Dulce

Dear ma’am Fe, It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you all along these years. Thank you for your dedicated service for the Children and Family Ministries. It is obvious that your love for Jesus, determination, enthusiasm, commitment, resourfulness, and energy paved the way in “ Preparing Children for Heaven” - our main theme.

Hugs and kisses to the whole family. / Love lots ma’am Shy Aguinaldo Dear Ma’am Marife, It hurts to hear saying goodbye, but we understand your calling. Mentoring and empowering women during your time was the best legacy that you’re leaving to us. Through that you are always remembered. We will be missing your laughter, your SMILE, your teary eyes and above all your golden voice while doing the ministry. You encourage us to Go, then, we will go. I will go for God’s cause. / loves you, Fe A. Torres
Congratulations Ma’am Marife Patalinghug for the untiring work that you have shown to all of us here in Central Mindanao Mission. You are one of the best examples of God’s worker. God bless to your new assignment in Sri Lanka with Pastor Jerry Patalinghug. I hope we will cross our path again if not on earth but it will be in heaven. Thank you/ from Sir Edgardo “dodong” Torniado Words are not enough to describe how thankful I am to become one of your friends and collaborers in the work of the Lord. Like the disciples of Jesus, three and a half years of bonding and training was just a very short but full of joy and learning. I cherished the treasure of being under the leadership of Pastor Jerry with your contributions and passion in the ministry. I see in your passion and commitment what it means to be a true disciples of Jesus. I will always thank God every time I remember you./ Pastor Porferio Lagunday

This one (1) hour and a half program was highlighted with a 25-minute proclamation of God’s words and after which was an insightful discussions that focused on Mental Health Care with the presence of some experts, clinical Psychologists and pastors as discussants. With this, we are able to win 24 precious souls.
Compelled by the need to carry out more efforts to win souls by preaching the gospel to other far flung areas, another women’s crusade was conducted that successfully brought 42 precious souls to Jesus. Moreover, a bamboo church was built for them to have a place for worship every Sabbath.

March 2021 @ Central Mindanao Mission Territory
We have facilitated Reading and Writing literacy program which has catered 52 students divided into three (3) categories: C-1: Struggling Readers (children who cannot completely identify letters); C-2: Struggling Adult Readers ; C- 3: Readers (youth who can read but still needs assistance from a mentor). However, this shall culminate earlier than the original six month targeted program because the DepEd has already established a school in the area. Thus, we conducted their Graduation ceremony last September 3 this year.
Affirming that all are gifted, needed and treasured, the Possibility Ministries Department initiated a fellowship for the Blind and Deaf. We had the gift giving, feeding while they actively participated in the different games. There were 30 participants coming from the different areas under CMM territory. Along with this, we also conducted a Fellowship at Happy Home last December 15 at Maramag, Bukidnon where we also offer the same activities to people with mental issues.
Blown away by how God is using women to spread the hope of His Word even farther, we organized Community Pantry (Gasa sa Dios, Grasya sa Dios) to provide raw and food stuff to the people in need during when the COVID-19 crisis began to shut down to areas under CMM territory. Bound to go an extra mile, this activity was done daily during the first few days. But due to some reasonable constraints, like financial insufficiency with limited sponsors and benefactors to name a few, the team decided to schedule it twice a week and eventually as needed.

To our ever dashing Ma’am Marife M. Patalinghug, Thank you so much for all the time you spent with us and for us. You have been an excellent agent of God, a phenomenal partner in the minsitry, an outstanding mentor, and a courageous friend. I will hold the exemplary life you have lived as an inspiration for the journey I will embark. I pray that God will continually bless you and your agency. As Harold Warner says, “ The true character of a ministry, is a servant’s heart”. Continue to touch lives for God’s kingdom. Shine on ‘til Jesus comes. Godspeed./ Maybz Cabil Dear ma’am Fe, Happy New Year. Happy New Assignment in a country different from ours. Anyway, Pastor Jerry looks like Sri Lankan too. You too sooner will become Sri Lankan. Let it be known to you that you are one among the few individuals whom I gained confidence in sharing the word, God on top, my expertise as counselor. Words of God you assigned me which I read and reread, studied and searched so I could impart to our brethren-thastly woman-the other side of man. I learned many things from you- choleric, generous, optimistic, sincere and “crying lady”, touched many lives, beautiful and healthy, faithful to God, a good if not the best supporter to Pastor Jerry’s Ministry. Thank you for taking my workshop important (the paper and pencil tests, the cup with only a bond paper, mounting of slips of colored paper on a sheet of paper representing the family proximity between family members) which several of our colleagues find it very relevant. I have sent prayers of service to God. Prayers of good health, beauty, faith especially that you’re not quite well acquianted with brethren there. May God bless the works of your hands, the thoughts of your mind, and the words of your tongue. Trully I will be missing you, though you are just measures the miles. Thank you for being an inspiration to me. God bless you ma’am Fe and Pastor Jerry. /ma’am Emy` My warmest greetings and congratulations to the foremost enthusiastic women’s Minsitries Director during Davao Mission assignment. I’ll just pray that your leadership and management will continue serving until Jesus comes. In fact as a true friend I appreciate and salute you on your good leadership. Good leader, good follower. So my ardent prayer be strong and good health always. Miss you so much. God bless you./ate Vangie

Throughout the 3 years of being a worker under maam Marife’s leadership, all I can say is that she is a principled, hard worker, determined and an effective leader. She might be strict when it comes to time and work quality but when you will know her better she is one of a kind with a big heart who cares for her fellow workers. Maam Marife became one of my closest friend and one of my best mentor in the ministry. It is painful to know that she will move to another place to open a new chapter of her ministry. I believed she can continue to be an awesome leader and an effective worker of God. I pray that she together with Pastor Jerry and their children will always be safe and healthy throughout their life’s journey. I love you./Cherry Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters in the Seventh-day Adventists Church. This message is especially for madam Marife Modillas Patalinghug. To me she is a woman of super skills and talents. A gifted lady of the Lord. A woman who is unselfish in everything. From her talents and even material things. She is a lady of power. When she requests me for something, I cannot say no and I become fully blessed. Above all she is a powerful preacher even amidst pandemic. She is willing to go even to those places that cannot be reached by our Minister that made possible through God’s grace who used her mightily. I learned many things from her like patience, time conciousness, quality service, God first before self. Our hearts bleed and sad because she will leave the work she is doing in the CMM leading 5 departments(super woman) where I am part of it. I’ll miss you My dear, you are always in my heart. We love you. Plenty of hugs./Doc. Beth LOVE NOTES for you Ma’am Marife, my true and real sister, the person whom I can count on all through my life. Ma’am, I can’t believe that our friendship and togetherness will be separated through distance. Yes, I was very much privileged to be with you for a short time in Women’s Ministries at Davao Mission. When you were transferred to your next field I really felt sad and lonely but now I felt lonelier maybe because you will be in another country. Anyway, I really appreciate your leadership with Pastor Jerry C. Patalinghug for you are discipling us into a better leaders in our local churches. You are really a person who is full of clear vision which can guide wpmen to define their goals and aspirations ahead of time. I’m so happy of your determination Ma’am but sometimes worry because you will be leaving us. I pray to our Almighty God for safety, good health and strong will to be God’s servant.

Dearest Maam Fe, When someone called me over the phone and relayed that I am one on your list of friends, my heart danced in awe! I never expected that a low-keyed individual like me was remembered by such a wonderful lady who in one way or another become an epitome of my ministry journey. I praise God for keeping me as one of your treasured friends, and assuredly – you’re one in my list, too! Looking back on how we have crossed paths, I cannot contain myself to just remain silent but to always thank the Lord because I believed that HE has a purpose why it happened. For me, it was just a simple “hi” and “hello” in our first meet-up during the NPUC-wide Children’s Convention at 1000 Missionary Movement Campus. Actually, I was a little bit hesitant due to the status of your life, knowing that you were the wife of the mission president – my respect was up to the highest level then, and up to this day. I never thought of you being that very accommodating, sincere and simple. You even extended it to a very memorable invitation when you had the Children’s Convention held in wn SPAC before you finally left Davao Mission heading to South Philippine Union Conference. It was indeed a great proof e kno re b t i t a that our friendship is heightened and amazingly, it goes beyond physical distance by just a quick press on our phones. Le t you w a h t What you are reading now is my heartfelt expression and testimony how your life impacted mine. Yes, YOU u fe to yo ong the are such a strong and principled woman who exhibits a kind example that’s worth-emulating. YOU have shown an m mI exemplar of leadership – leading your constituents to be closer to God.

I have this strong conviction that you will leave Central Mindanao Mission with peace of rd of o w mind and a joyful heart because YOU have done your best for HIS glory! YOUR unselfish service to God’s work, in little and big ways, is an affirmation and a good legacy to tell everybody that we have a great God.
