Changed Life

Jeric Uy

(Preaching the Good news to his cousins)

Jeric and his cousins

This a picture taken in our baptismal service:

Me and Mam mary (Pst. Mark's mother) baptized Jeric Uy.

Praise the Lord! Cornerstone Ilagan is now 4 months old. Great is the Lord who has done great things in Ilagan. We have heard so many testimonies from our brethren in Cornerstone Ilagan nevertheless; I would like to tell an outstanding testimony from one of the young people there.

My wife has a nephew named Jeric Uy. On our mission in Ilagan (Oct. 2009), I saw this young man smoking with his friends and I even heard him swearing. I invited him to our meetings during the weeklong mission but, he was not interested at all. So he never turned up in meetings. However, some of my wife’s nephews and nieces persisted on inviting him. Eventually, he showed up in our Friday meetings and not on Sundays. After a month of attending the Friday meetings, he now attends every Sunday.

3 weeks ago, we heard him testify that he was set free from vices. He also began to pray and fast. One thing more, preached to his cousins on their youth service. My wife asked him how did he begin a relationship with Christ. He told that he came to a point in his life that he felt that his life has no direction; he felt that he is alone and nobody trusted him including his father and mother. He told that he was desperate to see change in his life and he recognized that he had sinned. So he prayed this prayer:

“Lord, I know I have sinned and have done many sin. Forgive me of all my sins. Lord, change me because I want to be changed. I know you are the only one that can help me.”

My wife and I knew he’s been changed by God. We see a different young man now. Now, Jeric is witnessing to his father and friends. Pray with us that he will continue in his walk with God and that God’s fire continue to burn brighter in his life so that he could influence his generation.
