EDITOR'S NOTES

It is Sunday evening of the week when Alumni will converge in Arlington, Texas at the Sheraton Hotel for the Grand Reunion of the Mountain View College Alumni Association. I started writing this at home, but I am pretty sure I will finish this a Arlington.

I did some editing at a motel in Las Cruces, New Mexico, but this afternoon, Thursday, I met a lot of alumni at the hotel (some did not even recognize me), and from those encounters I knew this reunion would be a very exciting one. Hopefully it would also be a very successful one.

For those that could not come for various reasons, I would say you are missing a lot. I hope you could make it to the next reunion.

It is now 10:55 pm Pacific Daylight Time, but in Texas it is already almost 1 am, Central Daylight Time. I better get busy mailing this out. So for now I will just allow you to imagine what the people here are doing. Good night, good morning--whatever it is at your place.

TOGETHER UP YONDER BY HIS GRACE

It has been said students from Mountain View College belong into four general categories. First group are those students that quit MVC to study in non-SDA schools, the second group are those that quit to study in another SDA school, the third are those that are expelled for breaking school rules have to study elsewhere, and the last group are of course the cream of the crop, those that stuck it out and graduated from MVC.

We are four siblings in the family of late Pastor Anastacio B. Gayao, former president of Mountain View College. We all grew up on the beautiful hilltop campus thus have been privileged to know many MVCians through the years. Each of the four siblings, however, represents one of the above categories of MVC students. I would not mention names except for the only girl in the family, Anavive, who was the only lucky one to graduate with a BSN degree from MVC. Of the three boys one transferred to a non-SDA school, one was expelled and had to transfer to another SDA school, and one transferred to another SDA school to be on his own.

The three boys all graduated from other schools, two are physicians and one a college professor and all of them are church elders in each of their respective churches. As I look at my fellow former MVC students during alumni gatherings I see many of those who like the three of us siblings did not graduate from Mountain View College, but are successful in their chosen professions and are serving the church, a testament to the good foundation that MVC has given many of us.

I remember the testimony of a former MVC student who after leaving the college became a well-known radio announcer in stations in Mindanao and Cebu. When he auditioned as a radio announcer and he was immediately accepted. He said being under Dr. Irene Wakeham Lee in Oral English was the major factor to his success. He sadly said because of his success he left the church but later came back bringing his wife with him to the church, and she happens to be my cousin. Now he is serving as a faithful layman.

Fellow MVC students and friends, as evident in my life and that of my fellow siblings, no matter how convoluted our spiritual lives have been in the past, we still could claim to be children of God. All these years I often wondered where I would be if not for grace. We may be surprised in the new earth to see folks whom we never may have expected to be there were it not for the magnificent GRACE OF GOD.

SEE YOU UP YONDER BY HIS GRACE.

Vol. 3 No. 18 (July 26, 2007)

Celebration Reaches Out to Community

Reluctant invitees to the Community Day celebration discovered it would have been a missed opportunity if they did not make it. The meetings were held on July 15 at the Dauin SDA Church in Negros Oriental. The affair catered to 150 non-Adventist friends and 70 church members. The program was facilitated and supported by the workers at the headquarters of the Negros-Siquijor Mission (NSM). The Vice-mayor of the town and the head of the barangay were the guests at the celebration.

Services offered included health age appraisal, blood screening, health lectures, a free lunch, and distribution of goods. The Health department of the local mission made the occasion a witnessing opportunity for healthy lifestyle by displaying the CELEBRATION panels which was highly appreciated by the guests.

"I've learned that the day's services spoke much for the church--it broke down prejudices," said Pastor Joel T. Requillo, the NSM President.

"The people were happy as we served them, especially the less fortunate, as they received their gifts. It was heart-warming to find them overjoyed as they left the church. I hope other local churches will find occasions like this to do community services," remarked Bernandino Maniego, mission health director.

Aside from Pastor Requillo and Bernandino Maniego, other mission personnel who participated were Marilou delos Santos, education superintendent, and Pastor Lemuel Banday, auditor.

Festival Revitalizes Small Group Implementation

Three hundred-sixty small groups convened at Western Mindanao Academy in Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur in Southern Mindanao, On June 29 and 30, to hold the first Small Group Festival facilitated by the Adventist church in the Western Mindanao Conference. The delegates came from the province of Misamis Occidental and part of the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Lanao del Norte, and Lanao del Sur.

Despite heavy rains and other travel challenges, delegates and participants arrived on various forms of transportation: bicycles, motorcycles, tricycles, trucks, jeepneys, as well as private cars and vans. They came to celebrate God's goodness and leadings for the small group programs during the past six months from its organization.

Presenters at the occasion included Pastors Leonardo Asoy, Sabbath School director of the southern Asia-Pacific region (SSD); Jesse Aganeo, director the South Philippine Union Conference (SPUC); and Ephraim Paquibo, SPUC ministerial secretary, and Pastor Rudy Jimenez, WMC SS director and small group coordinator.

Pastor Luciano Nermal, Jr., WMC President and the designated Small Group leader, in cooperation with department directors, provided leadership to the Festival as pastors and some 3,000 church members learned the importance of expanding church programs of soul-winning through small group activities.

Friday evening three workers were ordained--Carmelito Asoy, Carlito Quidet, Jr., and Samuel Adorable, who were small group organizers themselves. After the challenge by Pastor Aganeo, the three would now continue their work as pastors and ordained Adventist ministers.

The worship service had the most attendance of about 3000. The school auditorium with a capacity of 1000, was filled to capacity so others had to stay under the trees to hear the sermon of Pastor Asoy. Pastor Ephraim Paquibo, who recently came from a small group tour in Peru, South America, promoted the program during the Sabbath School program and the at the Worship Service.

Activities at the event included preaching, sharing of personal testimonies, music (there were more than 20 singing groups) and prayer. The event culminated with the baptism of 143 people who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

THE FAITH OF A LITTLE CHILD

Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes.

Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!

"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply to his question.

"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick...and I want to buy a miracle."

"I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.

"His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"

"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening a little.

"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."

The pharmacist's brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"

" I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money."

"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago .

"One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly.

"And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."

"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents---the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. "

He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mittened hand and said "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need."

That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.

"That surgery," her Mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?"

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and eleven cents....plus the faith of a little child.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Have you ever tried to pray for the red traffic light to turn to green? Yes, I prayed once. Here’s my story.

I came to Singapore to audit one school located on Thomson road. Coming from the airport, I had a good conversation with the taxi driver. At the end of our conversation, I told him that his country is very nice and clean with well-developed landscaped roads and beautiful gardens. Moreover, I further told him that I was appreciative of how Singaporeans drive and how they care for the feelings of other people on the road. It was my first time to come to this wealthy city and naturally, I was full of appreciation for what I saw. He just smiled and said “Thank you”.

In another part of the world, for the second time this year, I came to another country to audit one clinic and one college. On the way to our union office, things were dramatically different compared to what I saw in Singapore more than two weeks earlier. I saw streets littered with rubbish, open canals, clogged and smelly sewage systems. The roads are so noisy as almost every driver is blowing his horn trying to outmaneuver each other by forcing its way through traffic.

While we were stopped at a red light, I saw two ladies, each carrying a baby. One lady, around 18 years of age, came to our taxi and asked for money from me. I did not give her any as I was not at ease with how I was seated holding my laptop and other items.

The driver talked to her and a few seconds later, they were talking very loudly. Soon, they were arguing about something. I did not understand anything as they were talking in their local language. The driver opened his door motioned to the lady to go away. But the lady refused to back down and instead tried to threaten our driver. She got a piece of bamboo beside a lamp post. A few seconds later, there was a loud bang as the lady hit our car on the door near where I was sitting. The treasurer who met me at the airport tried to pacify both parties but to no avail. The other lady tried to help her friend and this time there were three of them fighting in the middle of the road.

About this time, I was really praying that the traffic light would turn to green so as to put an end to the fight. But as the light turned green our driver, instead of going back to his driving continued his fight with the woman. Despite everybody behind us blowing their horns to force us to move our driver continued the fight. Our driver hurriedly went back to our car after a traffic aide forced him to leave. I discovered later why they fought. Our driver asked that lady why she has a child when she has no husband. She in turn accused him that he is a bad man, a drug addict. That started it.

In my room that evening while I was trying to recollect what happened that day, a question came to my mind. Why did God allow people in one area of the world have so much while people in other areas of the world have so little? Why were people in certain parts of the world so courteous and polite while others were so rude and combative?

Of course I knew why, it’s because of sin. Sin makes our world deteriorate from a perfect one to a world of chaos and despair. Yet, God provided a world with enough for all despite the ravages of sin and disease.

The day is coming when all will be new. Best of all, God will renew minds and hearts of those who enter the new earth so all will truly love and care. That happy day waits just ahead.

Rev. 21:5 “He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful”.

LIGHTHOUSE ON THE HILLTOP
Edward G. Frasco

MVC a brilliant lighthouse on the top of the mountain,
A fueling station for a perilous journey to the Pearly Gates;
Away from the dazzling sights and glitters of the plain,
A hallowed ground to prepare citizens for paradise.

The pioneers envisioned for a Christian institution,
That could stand the ferocious battering of the gale;
That makes the word of God its solid foundation,
A compass to guide its course in reaching its goal.

A refining place that makes soul more precious than gold,
An exhaustless sourse of living sermon in shoes;
Far from the noise and confusing sounds of the world,
A healthful breathing place for the sin-burdened soul.

Teachers are ever exhalting what God hath said,
Demonstrating how to go forward on bended knees;
Protecting the pedestal that holds the Word of God;
And constantly proclaiming the headlines in advance.

Students practicing God's presence from day to day,
Eagerly learning to buckle the armor on;
Walking daily on the path of the Living Way,
Rushing to accomplish what God wants it done.

It is an ideal place for a heart to find its counterpart,
The air that circulates the campus is perfumed with sweet regards;
Sabbath greetings and smiles make the day more blest,
Orchids and roses too do their part when love does abound.

Students and teachers labor side by side,
Praying and singing, doing their daily routine;
Taking up their task with zest and stride,
Aiming not for laurels but joy of a work well done.

Climbing higher in the ladder of academic liberty,
Putting ignorance to flight and standing for the right;
Pursuing the balanced growths of mind, soul, and body,
Searching for truth that leads to greater height.

How beautiful are the feet of them that go to the hinterlands,
Scaling rocks, mountains, and treacherous ravines;
Sword or spear couldn't stop them following God's command,
Their feet maybe sore and muddy but their hearts are clean.

The singing in the campus makes the heavens ring,
the cadenza of melodoius refrain drives the clouds away;
Teachers and students brighten their day with a song,
Camaraderie and harmony welcomes the new day.

The pulse of airwaves saturate the plains and valleys,
Its echo traverses mountains carrying the message of the cross;
Reminding villages of the coming Prince of Peace,
To claim His very own without a spot or a dross.

Visitors and pilgrims come from far and near,
From the vast continent of Afrika and cities of the U.S.A.;
They come to see the school that has no equal anywhere,
Either in magnificent Europe or in picturesque lagoons in Asia.

All alumni can testify that truly God is glorified,
Her fountain is from a source that never runs dry;
The school's treasure lies on things that money cannot buy,
Providing solace and comfort to souls with sin-sick cry.

MVC, never let your brillaint flame grow dim,
For there is till great darkness around and battle to be won;
There are still wayfarers to reclaim and God's love to proclaim,
Charge till victory is won, so "Shine On Till Jesus Comes".

YOUR THOUGHTS

Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create
conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about.

If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.
If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.
If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or
just stop operating.
If you keep saying you're broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will
always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.
If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you,
your very thought will ttract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.
If you keep talking about a divorce or break up in a relationship, then
you might end up with it.

Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and
power packed with faith, hope, love and action.
Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.

Watch your Thoughts, they become words.
Watch your Words, they become actions.
Watch your Actions, they become habits.
Watch your Habits, they become character.
Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny.

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than
you settle for.
Thought I would share this with you.

"In the search for Me, I discovered Truth.
In the search for Truth, I discovered Love.
In the search for Love, I discovered GOD.
And in God, I have found Everything.

Be Blessed

Watch how your circumstances and situations begin to change when you
change the way you speak. Pass this on to as many people; and back to
me......as you can, so they
can change their lives, too.

"Life is like melted butter. . .once things cool down, it can be
reshaped!"

SHORT GEMS
(From Guideposts, 07/07)

"Living fearlessly is not the same as never being afraid. It's good to be afraid occasionally. Fear is a great teacher."
Michael Ignatieff, Canadian author and journalist

"To say, my fate is not tied to your fate, is like saying, 'Your end of the boat is sinking.'"
Hugh Down, veteran radio and television newsman.

"Many of us fear failure to the point of being willing to settle for one of the truest forms of failure--not trying at all."
Nicole LaBeach, Ph.D., Life coach and asso. director of the Faithful Central Bible Church Counseling Center in LA, California.

"Some people wake up and say 'Oh, man, I've gotta go to work.' I get up and say, 'Oh, man, I get to go to work.'"
Larry Woody, of Cottage Grove, Oregon, a mechanic, blinded in an auto accident, and still continues to work.

SOME WAYS OF DEALING WITH THE BURDENS OF LIFE

o Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
o Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
o Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
o Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
o If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
o If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
o It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
o NEVER BUY A CAR YOU CAN'T PUSH.
o Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
o Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
o Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
o The second mouse gets the cheese.
o When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
o Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
o You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
o Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
o We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. SOME HAVE WEIRD NAMES and all are different colors, BUT THEY ALL HAVE TO LIVE IN THE SAME BOX.
o A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water? "
Answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20oz.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. "If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance."
"In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "
He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. "
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work/life down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow."
"Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short.
Enjoy! "
