**There’s something truly powerful about a life fully surrendered to God.**
Six years ago, a man already well into his 60s made that kind of decision — a decision that would change not only his life but the lives of so many around him. He gave his heart to Jesus and made a quiet but unwavering commitment: “For the rest of my days, I will serve You, Lord, with everything I have.”
And that’s exactly what he did.
From that day on, Preacher Arsenio Gapuz poured out his life for the Gospel. With his humble but upgraded garong (cargo motorcycle), he became a one-man outreach ministry. He would travel far and wide, weekend after weekend, just to reach people for Christ.
He would drive to pick up church members, rain or shine. He would bring them home after every service. He would make countless trips for Bible studies, prayer meetings, and Sunday school. And during VBS? He became a hero to dozens of children — tirelessly transporting them back and forth, ensuring they could come and hear about Jesus.
He never asked for recognition. Never once complained. Never counted the cost.Every weekend, every moment, every drop of fuel — he offered it all to the Lord.
But that journey was never without trials.
There were days when the rain poured and soaked us to the bone. Days when the old garong would break down on the side of the road. And perhaps the hardest of all — days when young people, burning with a desire to serve, had to be told, “There’s no more space to ride with us.” It was painful, not for the inconvenience — but because it meant someone had to be left behind.
It wasn’t easy. But we held on to one truth through it all:
God is not blind to our needs. God is not deaf to our prayers. He sees. He listens. And in His perfect time — He answers.
And today, after six years of waiting, praying, and believing... He has answered.
God, in His perfect timing, has blessed Preacher Arsenio - and all of us- with a new and better vehicle. A vehicle that will serve as a vessel for more souls to be reached, more lives to be touched, and more communities to be served.
We are overwhelmed with gratitude. This is not just an answer to a prayer — it is a testimony of God's faithfulness to His servants who never give up, who trust, who give their all.
To our dear Preacher Arsenio — we honor your heart, your humility, and your obedience. You have taught us what it looks like to be a true servant of God.
To everyone, especially to Pastor Elmer and Ma'am Sally, Team Beleng and our outreach members, who had prayed, and believed with us — thank you.
And above all, to our faithful God — You have done it again.
Alll glory, honor, and praise belong to You alone. You are good. You are faithful. You are worthy.
