TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.

PRAYER, WORSHIP, THANKS AND PRAISE TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS.

TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE TO DO GOD'S WILL EVERYDAY, "SHALOM ALEICHEM."

MORNING: DISTRIBUTED FOOD FOR THE POOR CHILDREN ON OUR GATES.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily carries our burden; the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19(20h)

Barukh Adonai yom yom ya’amos-lanu ha’El Yeshuateinu.

 AFTER FOOD WAS DISTRIBUTED TO THEM, THEY LEFT.

 A PATIENT WITH SKIN PROBLEMS ALL OVER CAME FOR ME. GAVE HIM FREE CONSULT.

ANOTHER PATIENT CAME TO ME WHO IS HAS NO MONEY TO PURCHASE MEDICINES.

GAVE MONETARY ASSISTANCE TO HIM FOR THE MEDICATIONS HE WILL BUY.

 GAVE ALSO FREE MEDICATION TO HIM, FOR INITIAL TREATMENT.

ANOTHER PATIENT CAME TO ME TODAY. 

SHE IS AN OLD LADY WHO HAS NOTHING TO SUPPORT HERSELF, ESPECIALLY FOR HER MEDICATION.

SHE HAS A RICH RELATIVE, WHO IS IN POLITICS BUT HER RICH RELATIVE DO NOT HAVE THE HEART TO HELP HER. THERE ARE TIMES SHE WENT TO THIS RELATIVE OF HERS BUT DID NOT GIVE HER ANY ASSISTANCE.

GAVE HER FREE CONSULT, AND MONEY TO PURCHASE HER MEDICATION.

SINCE SHE HAS SOME TROUBLE IN WALKING, GAVE HER ONE OF MY STAFF TO ASSIST HER IN HER WALKING.

GAVE MONETARY ASSISTANCE FOR THE INDIGENT FAMILIES WE ASSIST.

THEN WENT OUR WAY TO CONTINUE MISSIONS OUTSIDE.

THIS TOY WAS GIVEN FOR THE CHILDREN OF A CERTAIN FAMILY.

BOUGHT FOOD FOR THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

ARRANGED THE FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS.

THEN DISTRIBUTED IT TO THE POOR.

tzedakah is an act of righteousness that comes from our duty to help others in need.

(from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons)

Tzedakah means “doing the right thing” by demonstrating tzedek (justice, fairness) in your life.

(from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons) 

 

A person who routinely practices righteousness is called a tzaddik, a righteous man 

(a tz’deket is a righteous woman).


(from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons) 

Followers of Yeshua (Jesus) are to be known as tzaddikim because they demonstrate their love by giving to others.


(from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons) 

 

Some of the Jewish sages have said that practicing tzedakah is among the highest of all the mitzvotteshuvah (repentance) and tefillah (prayer). (commandments), along with


(from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons) 

 Indeed, tzedakah is declared to be life-giving - be’orach-tzedakah chayim - "in the path of tzedakah there is life"


(from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons) 

 

The tzaddik goes beyond the obligation to perform tzedakah as a mere outward duty and practices benevolent love. 

(from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons)  

Ve’tzaddik chonein ve’notein"

But the righteous one is gracious and giving... Psalm 37:21b  The Scriptures command: Tzedek, tzedek tirdof: “justice, justice you shall pursue” (Deut. 16:20), and therefore helping others in need is a divine imperative. (from: Importance of giving- J. Parsons)  We tend to think of suffering as a bad thing, perhaps as a consequence for our sins. (from The Suffering Tzaddik- J.Parsons) But there is another dimension to suffering - righteous suffering - which is born out of love. (from The Suffering Tzaddik- J.Parsons) Righteous suffering takes on the pain of others and bears it in their place. (from The Suffering Tzaddik- J.Parsons) Righteous suffering is patient, kind, and provides healing for that which is broken. (from The Suffering Tzaddik- J.Parsons)  Indeed, the righteous suffering of the tzaddikim “fills up what is lacking in Messiah’s afflictions for the sake of the church” (Col. 1:24), and manifests the resurrection life of Adonai Tzidkeinu, the Lord our Righteousness, within the heart of faith. (from The Suffering Tzaddik- J.Parsons) Despite the afflictions of the tzaddik, God has promised ultimate deliverance: umikullam yatzilenu Adonai – “the Lord will deliver him out of them all.” (from The Suffering Tzaddik- J.Parsons)  While a life lived by faith, hope, and love may cause us heartache and pain, suffering is not the last word, since love will be one day be fulfilled and perfected when we are in the Presence of the Lord Himself. (from The Suffering Tzaddik- J.Parsons) AFTER DISTRIBUTING FOOD SOMEWHERE IN PARANAQUE CITY, WENT TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP, BACLARAN WENT INSIDE THE SHRINE THEN WENT TO THE VICINITY OF THE SHRINE GROUNDS WHERE THE POOR AND THE NEEDY ARE. TODAY, I AM ACCOMPANIED BY THE BROTHER OF D.E.U.S.(G.O.D.) WHO CAME FROM MONTALBAN, RIZAL. OUR BROTHER FROM MONTALBAN, RIZAL ASSISTED IN TODAY'S OUTREACH. MAJORITY OF THE POOR IN THIS AREA ARE ELDERLY. MANY OF THE POOR HERE HAVE NO ONE TO TURN TO. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE ELDERLY WENT FROM GARBAGE TO GARBAGE JUST TO PICK UP PLASTIC CONTAINERS AS A WAY TO EARN. MAJORITY OF THEM ARE DEPRIVED, AND HAVE SUFFERED HUNGER ON A DAILY BASIS.

CONTINUE TO DISTRIBUTE FOOD AMONG THE POOR AND THE NEEDY THERE.

AND CONTINUE ON UNTIL ALL THE FOOD PROVISIONS BOUGHT ARE GIVEN OUT FOR THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 

THANKING THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED US IN THE MISSIONARY WORKS.

 

TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US TO CONTINUE WITH OUR MISSIONS, THANK YOU. YOU SEE IN THIS POST THE PEOPLE WHOM WE HAVE HELPED THROUGH THE RESOURCES YOU HAVE ENTRUSTED TO OUR CARE.

 

 ALL OF YOUR ASSISTANCE, SUPPORT AND HELP TO US HAS NOT BEEN IN VAIN.

THESE RESOURCES HAVE BENEFITED MANY OF THE POOR, THE NEEDY, THE STREET ELDERLY, THE STREET CHILDREN, AND INDIGENT FAMILIES.

 I HAVE POSTED PART OF THE OUTREACH ACTIVITIES IN THIS BLOG FOR YOU TO SEE WHERE YOUR SUPPORT GOES, WHO BENEFITED FROM THE OUTREACH, AND TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THESE OUTREACH ARE TRULY DONE, AND NOT JUST HEARSAY.

 WHEN THE FOOD WE BOUGHT FOR THE POOR IS ALREADY DISTRIBUTED, WE THEN DO ALMS GIVING TO PROVIDE HELP TO THE POOR WHOM WE MEET AS WE GO ON.

 

 TO BE ABLE TO GIVE TO MORE POOR AND NEEDY AT THE VICINITY OF BACLARAN GOING TO PASAY CITY, WE HAVE HANDED COINS FOR THE POOR AS WE MEET THEM.

 

THERE ARE SEVERAL TIMES THAT IN DOING THE MISSIONS, IN SPITE OF OBSTACLES AND DISCOURAGEMENTS, I HAVE TO GO ON TO SERVE AND EXTEND HELP FOR THE POOR, IRREGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY DESERVE HELP OR NOT, WHETHER RECEIVING THANKS OR CURSE FROM THEM.

 

FOR THE SAKE OF THE MANY POOR AND THE NEEDY, I CONTINUE ON WITH THE MISSION WORKS, IRREGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME.

HELPING AND ASSISTING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY IS GOD'S WILL.

 TO LOVE THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN IS LOVING GOD.

 

THESE MISSION WORKS ARE DONE AS OFFERING TO OUR GOD.

 

GOD PREFERS THAT OUR FAITH IS PUT INTO ACTIONS, RATHER THAN EXPRESSING IT WITH EMPTY WORDS.

THE MEANING OF OUR EXISTENCE IS THIS: TO GIVE GLORY TO OUR CREATOR THROUGH LIVING THE DIVINE WILL- WHICH IS LOVE PUT INTO ACTION.

RODE A JEEPNEY HOME. A CHILD ASKS FOR ALMS. GAVE HIM SOME MONEY.

ARRIVING AT THE PLACE NEAR HOME, CONTINUED WITH THE OUTREACH.

 OUTREACH DONE UNTIL BEFORE THE SUN SETS.

GAVE WHATEVER I CAN GIVE TO THOSE WHO ASKS FROM ME, 

AS LONG AS I CAN PROVIDE IT WITHIN THE MEANS GIVEN TO ME BY GOD.

 

BE IT MONEY, FOOD OR OTHER PROVISIONS, IF I CAN GIVE IT TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY AS THEY ASK FROM ME, WOULD GIVE IT IF I CAN.

 

AS I WENT HOME, A STREET CHILD ASKS FOR FOOD.

BOUGHT HIM SOME FOOD.

 

GAVE A "GREASE MAN" SOME MONEY FOR SURVIVAL.

 

BOUGHT MEDICATION FOR THE SICK.

 

THEN WENT HOME.

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE IT, THE TRICYCLE I RODE WHEN STARTING 

THE MISSION WAS 099, AND UPON GOING HOME IT IS 066.

SUCH NUMBERS ARE COMPLEMENTARY OPPOSITES MANIFESTING A CERTAIN LESSON- THAT THERE IS INDEED SOME FORCE BEYOND HUMAN WHO IS GUIDING THESE MISSIONARY WORKS, WHO MANIFESTS IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE AS THIS MISSIONARY WORKS PROCEEDS FROM DAY TO DAY.

TO THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTS THE MISSIONARY WORKS, THANK YOU.

BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPPORT, WE ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT OTHERS.

GOD REMEMBERS THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE FOR US.

 GOD NEVER FAILS TO REWARD THOSE WHO DESERVE IT.

 

BE IT IN THIS LIFE OR IN THE AFTERLIFE, THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED US WILL NOT LOSE THEIR REWARD.

THANKING GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS FOR EVERYTHING.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
