LET US DO IT AGAIN The inaugural session of Light.Soul.Breakfast proved to be a hit among those who attended the 2-hours activity on 27 April 2013 in Pinoy Grill, Henderson, Auckland. “Let’s do this again,” said Bro Oscar Batucan, a papal awardee, who found the activity Spirit-driven. “The number of attendees was just perfect for an intimate intermingling of people of faith. Count me in next time,” he added as wife Sis Miriam nodded in agreement. Twenty-seven (27) attendees were accounted for, just 3 short of the target of 30. (According to Pinoy Grill owner Aida Fabian, five pre-paid attendees (all nurses) couldn’t make it, as they had duty the previous night). Sis Myriam Benito told the organisers that she liked the balance of Inspired Talks and Contemporary Briefing, suggesting that succeeding sessions adopt a theme. Bro Alvin Soniega agreed that discussions of current issues affecting Christians should be tackled during future gatherings. Bro Elmer Cerna delivered an intense sharing about Roderick Catuday, whom he came to know from the time of the latter’s arrival in Auckland until his death. “He was like family to me,” Bro Elmer spoke, as he held back his tears. Bro Mel B Libre expounded on his belief in miracles, narrating the account on the miraculous Host in Buenos Aires in 1996. He said that “Miracles are badges of God’s love for His people. Hence, miracles are meant to be told, to be narrated, to be testified, to create awareness of God’s holiness, goodness and justice. If we are to limit our testimonies to people who already believe, we have failed to accomplish the purpose of God’s miracles.” Asked to share on miracles they’ve experienced during their lifetime, Bro Sammy Sia told on how he was left unharmed in a head-on collision; while Bro Oscar shared on witnessing the dancing sun outside St Patrick’s Cathedral in Auckland during the visit of visionaries a few years ago. In the contemporary briefing, Mr Robert Sedano, International Property Specialist of AyalaLand Philippines, reported about the positive economic outlook of the Philippines saying that “Today is the perfect time to invest especially in property.” He showed a comparative study that revealed properties in the Philippines are undervalued compared to its neighbours like Hongkong and Singapore. Bro Darrow Benito succeeded in getting people to laugh in Smilines, while Sis Tess Baclay perked up the audience with intriguing questions in BQQ (Bible Quotient Quiz). The organisers would like to thank AyalaLand for sponsoring the activity.
