Who could have imagined that a once humble shelter in Banawa would be as richly blessed as it is now?
From the first day Josephine Quiño set her mind to gain understanding and humbled herself before God, her words were heard. Ships of spiritual blessings arrived, bringing gifts of faithful companions and shepherds. Manna rained and the revelations from God poured on.
Through ups and downs, hunger and satisfaction, prosperity and drought, the humble shelter called Kahayag Mission Group persevered because of the power of God in the love and mercy that is in Jesus Christ.
Now after almost fourteen years of hardcore spiritual battles, manna gathering and thousands of convictions, God has finally blessed KMG with proportionally rich physical blessings.
The Lord provided generous benefactors to aid His beloved flock in its journey. They were the ones that supported the shelter with material things like food and shelter.
Loreto Quiño and his wife Josephine supported the needs of the shelter by their own earnings from paintings and artistic works. The shelter almost crumbled when Mr. Quiño lost his job. Despite that, the Lord God is faithful and He did not allow His servants to fall down.
The Lord touched Al Joe Villahermosa's heart to support the shelter. The Lord blessed him in material things. The shelter was in Banawa back then.
Then the Lord sent Kjell Oliversen, a Norwegian citizen, to fall in love with Marivic Dueñas. They eventually got married and become one in heart to serve the Lord and to support the shelter. Kjell helped the shelter to stay in better houses from Banawa to Bacayo then to a mansion-like house in a place seemingly chosen by God to be at 2476 Reverence Street, Sunshine Village, Capitol site. God also touched the hearts of his Christian brothers in Norway to send help to the shelter. Because of that, the God-loving children of God were able to have their worship service in a comfortable place in Crown Regency Hotel.
The rain did not stop there. A former famous singer and a current captive of love named Jonathan Lewis promised himself in marriage to Mary Ann Villacencio. Along with him is God's dark nimbus cloud of blessings that is waiting to pour on the holy soil of His beloved.
Like an unexpected storm, God sent Oystein Torsas, a philanthropist from Norway. With his God-given generous heart he provided jobs to many. He partnered with KMG to establish an international charity organization providing jobs to poor people. He also helped in giving jobs to faithful volunteers. He also provided a new building for his employees.
For his employees, Oy acquired the Providence Building which is located just a few blocks away from the shelter. The building is a beauty. It's name suits itself. It is really a providence from God.
It was January 1, 2011, Feast of In-gathering, when KMG dedicated the Providence Building to the Lord. After that, throngs of neighbors go to the Providence to have fellowship with God's children and be children themselves-- a feat that no one in KMG has never seen before. And up to now, the rain has not yet stopped.
The prophecies are slowly unfolding before our very eyes.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. [Is. 60:1]
Now the shelter that was once receiving donations and barely living by it is now on a brink of giving abundant two-edged blessings to the world because of the love and faithfulness of the Lord Jesus.
