GOOD MORNING NEWS. Official Newsletter of Light.Soul.Breakfast. 5/May 2013

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.
