Let me share stories of what IMG Missionaries do in a day... a Trilogy... Different people, different needs, different service...
NANCY MARTIN'S STORY:
Anointing of Ease pala tawag dun...ang alwan ng biyahe ko kanina....Commute din lang ako kanina, and Taguig is not a familiar place for me.. From Cavite, nakatiyempo ako ng bus na diretsong Ayala, I passed by IMG para mag retouch.. At 3:30 PM, I rode a jeep to Mantrade and looked for the shuttle going to Mckinley, ang lapit lang pala niya.. I prayed kay Lord to guide me in this trip, basta wag sana mawala.. I arrived the place 45 mins earlier and I managed to get some snacks at Dells...walang ka pressure pressure... I've watched people, mostly from call centers, and I simply thank God!! Gratefulness hit me, I am out of the rat race! (nag sink kanina) "And because you are blessed, bless them too" I just thought about it..And when Jen fetched me to go up the building, I knew may mission ako duon. I'm going to bless a lot of people.....Love is built into our hearts when we do IMG mission.. Suddenly you become concerned about other people. Yes, we have our own concerns, but we set it aside for a while, for the greater good!!! Ang galing ni Lord!!
Just arrived Cavite....(ugh..back ache)....yup Good tired, but all worth it. Great sharing of concepts with Jennifer Rosales and HP Financial Wellness Committee Heads Ms Myra Mancilla and Sir Tim. After presenting today, we are set to haveseveral sessions of Financial Coaching classes in HP McKinley Hill and the other branch in QC. They understood our mission, how we do things and what we teach in IMG shares the same advocacy to HP Financial Wellness programs...They liked that what we do is more on the education and when we apply the concepts they are with the best interest of their employees..Thank You Lord!!
RAQUEL ARELLANO/JOYCE ARELLANO'S STORY:
It was a blessed and exciting day yesterday for me and my kids. Early morning i have a guest. Financial Coaching was on going when Joyce called and asked me if there will be another session in the afternoon and i said Yes at 1PM we have one guest ( this one John shared about IMG - kapitbahay lang namin). Joyce just met this woman in the store. She saw the TRM shirt for printing and she asked the question to Joyce what those shirts for. Joyce shared with her what we are doing as missionaries. She immediately said she would like to attend the session. The woman came in before 1PM. The other attendee came in with my son John. After i have presented the woman whom Joyce met said she is interested to be part of the mission. After we've done all the paper works she said with tears in her eyes , " Quey hulog ng langit ang anak mong si Joyce sa akin. I believe this is God's will. I have been praying and i now believe this is the answer to that prayer." WOW!!!! A mother like me, who can hear these words from a person whom my daughter met 3 hours ago will utter those words. I can't help but cry and thank God for the AMAZING things he is doing in our lives as we continue to touch the lives of others. First time for me to meet her but she opened her heart and pour out her burdens. We ended up holding hands in prayer. This is truly a mission not only to teach people on financial matters to also help them come closer to God. Our missions is so SIMPLE- to help people and it is BLISSFUL!!! With this i am thankful God is using our family to show people He CARES!
Bro Bo Sanchez inspiring message during our June 2012 Convention is for real - "We are the ANSWERS to many people's prayer, We are the HOPE of many". I love you God! I love TRM ! I love IMG!!!!
FELY SANTIAGO'S STORY:
This is my way of serving God.. I just came from a DEBT counseling session in Megamall. I could have asked this couple to meet me up in our office in Makati since they are the ones seeking counseling anyway. But since they are from Antipolo I agreed to meet them halfway in Megamall. Going there from Makati I already felt good. I said to myself, I'm going there to help a family. They will not pay me but I'm sharing with them my time, talents and treasures. This is where God is calling me. To help couples and families who are in a debt trap like where I used to be. I just commuted coz I don't want to drive to Megamall with the traffic and possible parking problems. I took the MRT from Magallanes station. I already heard stories about the long lines so I prepared myself. I brought with me Bro Bo's book "The Abundance Formula" which I also planned to give to this couple. God is really awesome. On the way, I prayed, Lord give me your anointing of ease. True enough the line was still not long when I arrived. Added to that the lady behind me was so kind enough to give me her extra MRT card so I will not line up at the ticket station anymore. Isn't that amazing? Small blessings come our way...Now the experience while inside the MRT station. At the Ayala station, I was literally pushed like a sandwich inside when people started pushing in to enter the train! Grabe. I couldn't move! Talagang parang sardinas. Punong-puno talaga! I just pity those who commute everyday! And considering wala ng pasok sa schools! Anyway, it took me 1.5 hrs from Makati to Megamall via MRT. I meet the couple and they brought their 5 kids ages 2 to 16! Would you believe they have 23 debts from different people with interest ranging from 3.5% to 10% per month! They seek counsel because their debtors have been harassing them already and they don't know what to do! They cannot sleep at night anymore...I'm sure those of you who are buried in debts can relate to this experience. Anyway, we had a good talk and laid down some actions they need to take and I assured them that God will surely make a way. Stay in faith. Honor God by putting their full TRUST in Him. All things work for good to those who love the Lord. I left Megamall before 9PM. I thought the MRT will not be full anymore! Wrong. The line was still long and 5 trains passed I was still not able to ride! Finally after almost one hour on the line, I was able to ride the 6th train that passed! Siksikan na naman..Grabe..Anyway, thank God I arrived home safely past 10PM. But I felt SO GOOD kahit mahirap sumakay coz I have served God thru this couple....Ang galing lang ni Lord..He used me to be the answer to this couple's prayers..that's how much God truly cares for each and everyone of us...share ko lang...
