HIV Awareness (2) The Field Practicum Class at Positive Action Foundation Philippines (PAFPI)

 The Field Practicum class was scheduled to visit the Positive Action Foundation Philippines (PAFPI), a shelter for People Living with HIV (PLHIV), on April 13, 2024, from 2:00- 4:00 PM, in Malate, Metro Manila. We are accompanied by a member of APWAI Association of Positive Women Advocates Inc., one deaconess, and a General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM) missionary. We had an interview with the Social Worker in charge, the Chairman of the PAFPI, and the officer and dedicated member of PAFPI. They showed us the facilities, the visitors lobby, the rooms for women PLHIV, and the office. The building is like a two-story house apartment. During our visit, the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Taft Campus students are doing their project in PAFPI which is renovating the lobby by building barrier curtains. However, we did not have the opportunity to see the men PLHIV because they were asleep and resting. At the end of our visit, we prayed for the PAFPI, gave a small token from the field practicum class, and a snack sponsored by the APWAI. 

 The visit to PAFPI serves as an eyeopener that care, love, and support are being given to the PLHIV. I am grateful to join the visit and encouraged to have practical ways of helping the PLHIV. I have learned that PAFPI offers a holistic service to them. They have financial support, psychosocial support, and physical support and are open to spiritual support. May God continue to provide for all the needs of PLHIV. In Jesus’ Name Amen

The following are the vision, mission, and goals of PAFPI.

THE CONFESSION

     While I am reading a book title "Leadership That Builds" by Glenn Johnson, on its chapter title "A leader Must Have Integrity", I remember my life verse in Psalm 111:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and all who follow His precepts have good understanding, to Him belongs eternal praise." The book explains that fearing God is trusting Him with confidence, but this may fail when you feel guilty at some point in your life.  The hindrance of our confidence in God is the feeling of guilt. In Nehemiah (Book in the Old Testament), which is the scriptural foundation of the said book, confession is Nehemiah's way on gaining confidence in God. He said in Nehemiah 1:6 " let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for your servants, the Israelites, confessing the sins of the Israelites, which we have sinned against you. Both I and my family have sinned."  ...

Sa Hudyat

Makalipas ang halos tatlong buwan sa aking bagong church appointment – Anda Central United Methodist Church (ACUMC), napakarami na agad akong realizations sa buhay, sa sarili, sa ministry, at sa aking pananampalataya. Sa ikatlong buwan lamang na pinahintulutan ako ng ating Diyos na magsalita kaya iyon ang aking gagawin sa puntong ito. Sa ibaba, makikita ang mga supporting verses kung bakit ngayon ay nagbabahagi ako sa inyo. Lucas 5:14 14  Pinagbilinan  siya ni Jesus, “Huwag mong sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sa halip ay pumunta ka sa pari at magpasuri sa kanya. Pagkatapos, mag-alay ka ng handog ayon sa iniuutos ni Moises bilang patotoo sa mga tao na ikaw nga'y magaling na.” Lucas 8:17 17  Walang  natatago na di malalantad, at walang lihim na di mabubunyag. Lucas 8:39 39  “Umuwi ka na at ipamalita mo ang dakilang bagay na ginawa sa iyo ng Diyos.”   Ito ang panahon ng pagbabahagi. Sa unang buwan ng aking new church appointment, ako ay nanibago. Gayun pa man ay pin...

PKA 03 INILIGTAS!

  INILIGTAS! “Ilayo nʼyo ako sa bitag ng aking mga kaaway, dahil kayo ang aking matibay na tanggulan. -Mga Awit 31:4-                     Ang Diyos ang nagligtas kay haring David sa oras ng kanyang pagkabalisa at mga problema. Madalas na hinahanapan ng tao ng solusyon ang kanyang problema. At ang mga problemang ito ay maaaring nakapaloob sa mga aspeto ng buhay: pisikal, pinansyal, mental, emosyonal, sosyal, esprituwal, at sekswal. Ang mga problemang ito ay nagsisilbing mga kaaway na maaring sumira sa tao. Sa katunayan, kahit ano pang pagsisikap ng tao na pagtagumpayan ang mga problema niya, kung nanahan lamang sa kanyang sariling kaisipan at lakas, siya’y mabibigo.                 Si haring David ay humingi ng tulong sa Diyos. Siya ay nagtiwala na kayang-kaya ng Diyos na iligtas siya sa bitag ng kanyang mga kaaway....
