EAGLE EMEREN FLORES OF HONGKONG🇭🇰

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

I was once a sinner before God, not just in action or the words that come out of my mouth but in my heart above all. I lived in darkness and willfully ignoring His call of righteousness. With these, I felt the heavy emptiness of being separated from my Creator.

Romans 10:9 said, “while I was a sinner, Christ died for me.” As I received and believed in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I became His daughter and rightfully heir with all of His children (Galatians 4:7). With this, I Do Deserve all the favors, provisions and blessings that I'm enjoying now (John 10:10).

I knew that God sent me here (Hong Kong) not just to earn but for such a time as this. As once was a recipient of His message through His missionaries, now it is my greatest pleasure and blessing to be His body, to let the people know Him, His Love, His Mercy, His Grace, and His Salvation Program for all. Through this mission, I'm reminded, renewed and empowered to avail myself for His use all the time (Isaiah 6:8).

I thanked God for leading me to VCF Ministry as my spiritual womb where I've been disciplined through my Spiritual Mentor, Pastor Marlene Jovero, to do God's Great Commission.

DO I DESERVE THIS?🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

My first international trip which was not a vacation, but a mission trip rooted in Matthew 28:18-20.

On my own, I do not deserve this. But with Jesus, I do. Not because of what I have done, but because of His grace in my life. I am more than blessed to be handpicked by Him to carry out His calling.

I’m a fresh graduate who passed multiple immigration checks without a Certificate of Employment, if ever they would ask me. We stayed at Hotel TST Chungking Mansion in HongKong and Hotel S in Macau, a three-star hotel worth 27,000 pesos per night. We evangelized countless souls, sharing Jesus in public, yet none of us were deported nor arrested. Our horizon widened, and so was our connection.

Everything I experienced in Hong Kong and Macau is not something I claim by merit, but by His favor. Experiences money could never pay for. It’s not because of me nor my abilities. It’s because of Jesus.

Through this mission, He transformed my heart and opened my eyes to see that not everyone experiences this, because FAVOR is attached to OBEDIENCE. He reminded me that I am blessed beyond measure, chosen before the foundation of the world. He knitted me as a missionary. I AM HIS MISSIONARY.

The LEVEL OF POSSIBILITY depends on the LEVEL OF ONE’S FAITH. It gives access to more of Him. Through this mission trip, the LORD is elevating my mindset and increasing my capacity to experience His greatness, because overflow and power are part of my inheritance.

Everything that has happened is about our identity as His children. He is training us to be great leaders and calls us to stand in it with faith, boldness, and leadership (2 Corinthians 9:8).

I do not see this as entitlement, but as a calling, and I will never stop praising Him.

So yes, with Jesus, I do.

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

When I look back on our mission trip to Hong Kong and Macau from April 2 to April 8, one question keeps echoing in my heart: Do I deserve this?

Being chosen as part of the Power Group Team felt like both an honor and a mystery. Out of many, I was given the opportunity to serve, to reach out, and to bring healing to the hearts of our fellow Filipinos our (OFWs) who carry silent burdens far from home. At first, I questioned my worth. I knew my own weaknesses, my limitations, and my imperfections. Yet, the mission was never about what I could do on my own. It was about what God could do through me. In Acts 1:8, it says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…” This reminded me that the strength we carried during the mission did not come from ourselves, but from the Holy Spirit working within us.

We were simply vessels, chosen not because we are perfect, but because we are willing. Throughout the trip, I witnessed how God provided for every need we had. From safe travels to the right words at the right time, everything fell into place in ways we could not have planned. Psalm 91 speaks of God’s protection and faithfulness, saying that He is our refuge and fortress. Truly, we experienced His covering in a foreign place, where every step was guided and every moment secured by His presence.

Meeting the OFWs was one of the most powerful parts of the mission. Many of them carried deep emotional wounds, loneliness, homesickness, and struggles that often go unseen. Yet, in Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This became the message we shared: that no matter how heavy their hearts were, there is a God who sees them, loves them, and offers them rest.

Reflecting on everything, I realized that this opportunity was never about deserving. John 3:16-17 reminds us that God’s love is a gift freely given, not earned. Just as He sent His Son out of love for the world, He also sends us out to share that same love with others. Being part of the mission was not something I earned; it was something I received by grace. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Stepping into this mission required faith, faith that God would use us, provide for us, and move in the hearts of the people we encountered. And He did, in ways beyond what we could have imagined.

So, do I deserve this? The honest answer is no not by my own merit. But through God’s grace, I was chosen, equipped, and sent. And perhaps that is the beauty of it all: that God does not call the deserving; He calls the willing. And in His love and faithfulness, He makes everything possible.

MRS. MADELYN A. JACA OF QATAR GROUP🇶🇦

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

Thank God… yes, I deserve these blessings. Why? Because I was chosen by God through Mama Engle to join the mission trip to Hong Kong and Macau. This is a big blessing for me. I will always remember this as one of the most special moments in my life — to visit Hong Kong and Macau.

I am truly blessed. I cannot measure how happy I felt. It is something I will never forget for the rest of my life. Especially when we rode the bus and passed through the long bridge under the sea, it was amazing. I really saw how great God is and how He created everything in this world. The tall and beautiful buildings are wonderful to see.

Because of God’s favor, I experienced all of this. On my own, I do not deserve it. But God chose me, and He is with us, that is why I can say I deserve this.

Why do I deserve this? Because in Luke 10:19, it says that we are given authority. God gave us power to speak and to walk in victory. In every place we went, there was success. In every step, every bus ride, and every train ride.We always had enough food, beautiful places to see, and we met many Filipinos. There was also victory in our evangelism. Many Filipinos received salvation.

Even in the hotel, we were focused on worship and prayer. That is why everything we did was successful.I deserve this because this is where my faith grew. This is where I became more mature in my thinking. This mission trip became my training ground.

I can truly say this is one of the best experiences of my life. God was with me in every step, in every journey, no matter what happened.

What a great day to celebrate.

God bless everyone 🙏😊

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

For me, it’s a big yes, because God prepared me in all aspects of my life that could somehow be my big testimony to others. That my life could be a ray of God’s light toward people who are the same as I had experienced, on how I went through and found my whole self again in Christ alone.

Thanks be to God for this mission He allows me to be a part of. One chance in people’s lives on how to fight the good fight of faith. God prepared me to pass those thorns and difficult times of my life, on how to survive in the midst of a war zone where I was emotionally, psychologically, and financially drained and almost dead, trying to be invisible to everyone.

I cried to God out loud, finding my freedom and peace of mind. So tired and hopeless, rolling back and forth on the floor, trying to release all my pain and heartaches, coupled with overflowing tears of vengeance. God provided spiritual people to assist me, and even friends tried to make my days as if nothing happened, but the process of healing is so hard and not easy to fix and live as I was before.

Until God showed me His love and mercy. Truly, the Word of God is like a double-edged sword. God used Pastora Marlene, and a year after, the Word of God “forgive and forget” in Colossians 3:13 and Matthew 6:14 struck me.

Pastora Marlene emphasized it clearly, like Jesus was the one talking to me, pointing His finger at me, saying:
“For your own sake, release the pain to Me in exchange for My complete healing and freedom.” That word melted my whole body, rushing down my tears. I saw myself slowly killing myself, totally imprisoned in a darkened world, depriving my freedom to enjoy.

Thanks be to God for His grace, I was able to use my key of forgiveness and found again my freedom to enjoy my life to the fullest. God fights for me. He never forsakes me (Exodus 14:14). Hallelujah!

Now I can say I deserve this mission because He prepared me, He disciplined me, and He put His rays of light in me to help save people through my testimony and the victory.

To God be all the glory and honor.

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

"I do not deserve anything from the LORD", that's what I've always put in mind. I've been a victim of fear and trauma, I've been weak and have been deceived for a lot of times and sinned against Him. But that's all in the past, JESUS CHRIST called me, redeemed me, and always saves me because He called me as His child.

I'm no longer a victim, I am a child of the King and so, I deserve all that He has. In John 16:15, Jesus said, "All things that the Father has are Mine.” He declared this so I too, will be assured of my inheritance. Our Father, the LORD Jesus Christ, is very extravagant. When He gives us something it's surely overflowing.

In this mission trip and leadership training, I've learned more that our life in Christ is a life of overflow, which means "we do not own anything in this world" and we don't need to own it. We just ENJOY it. I truly experienced that OVERFLOW in faith from the partnership, sustained good health, protection, provision for everyday need, and power to do His will. I believe I truly deserve this life and I am overflowing for others.

DO I DESERVE THIS?🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

The honest answer is NO—and that is precisely what makes it so powerful. By God's grace, as to its very nature, is undeserved, it is God’s loving gift freely given, not something earned by human effort or merit. As written in Scripture, “For by grace you have been saved through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). This truth humbles my heart, reminding me that no amount of good works can purchase divine favor, yet no amount of failure can disqualify me from receiving it. This is the beauty of grace, it does not wait for us to be worthy, but instead makes us worthy through Christ.

And I do believe that God's favor, too, is not a reward for human excellence but a reflection of God’s goodness. “Surely, Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12). This favor flows from a relationship with Him, not from a flawless record. It is sustained not by our perfection, but by His faithfulness.

Therefore, I do not deserve God’s grace and favor but I receive it with gratitude, humility, and faith. And in receiving it, I am transformed, not because I earned it, but because He lovingly chose to give it.

I give all the glory and praise to God for this Hong Kong and Macau experience more than a journey, it was a divine encounter and a spiritual elevation. What seemed costly and beyond reach became possible through His grace, turning privilege into purpose and provision into testimony. Truly, what God ordains, He sustains every step covered by His favor, every moment marked by His faithfulness.

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

I don’t deserve what God gave me. All that i have done and achieved in life were not enough to quality me to be a part of His mission. The favors and miracles that happened before, during, and after this Hong Kong and Macau mission trip proved that it was Christ in me who qualified me to deserve it all. Not all evangelists can be missionaries, and not all missionaries can experience such high levels of favors and blessings, and I am undoubtedly grateful, thankful, and in awe of what I experienced.

I was able to grasp God's desire for his people which is to live a life full of unexplainable miracles and wonders Jeremiah 33:3. This is what God desires for his people: to work and enjoy his gifts with no sorrow attached to it. Obedience, Faith, and Total Dependency on Christ and His Word were the key. This mission opened doors of opportunities for me as a missionary, and gave me a deeper understanding of the Salvation Program of God for the world in John 3:16.

I was reminded that I was saved to save. It was my pleasure to be an extension of Jesus for the OFWs and other foreigners. I am grateful to be saved, blessed to be discipled, and honored to be deployed for the Glory of God.

DO I DESERVE THIS?🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

This opportunity that carries responsibility. To represent not just myself, but the values of care, empathy and faith . To listens more than I speak, to learn from the stories of OFWs-the sacrifices, their resilience, their hopes. And to return changed, carrying those stories with me and allowing them to shape how I see the world.

So, do I deserve this? What matters is that I have been given the chance and I will do everything I can to honor it .

Ephesians 2:10 reminds me that this opportunity is not something I earned but something I was prepared for, that there is a purpose already set before me and simply to walk it with faith.

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

With all the rebellious acts I've done in my past, the ungratefulness, an ex-fornicator, unserious with my walk in the Lord, I really don't deserve His Goodness and Mercy. I failed Him many times because of the hidden sins I did before, and tried to cover it up by serving Him half-heartedly. Praise His Glorious Name, because only by His Grace, I have been saved through Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9).

And now, He has given me the opportunity to be a part of His Salvation Program. Our Hongkong-Macau Mission trip is an eye opener to me, that life is not limited in the 4 corners of my office. There is something greater outside my comfort zone that is awaiting for me, to do what God wants me to do. And that is to expand His Kingdom territory through all the places He's going to put me. Only through Christ Jesus, I became deserving of all the good things that is coming in my life.

Glory be to Him alone💕

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

On my own capacity and ability, I do not deserve it, because all I have is a limited mindset. I have poor mentality and afraid to take risk. But Because of God’s Grace, I was trained and disciplined by my Mentor, Pastora Marlene Jovero, who helped me to be courageous and lead me to my purpose. That’s why, I felt that I am favored by God, and He gave me the right to be His Son. In this mission trip, I was more elevated in my spiritual perspective. God changed my mindset from being always the least to being an empowered Man of faith. I am more than a conqueror! 🙌🏻

DO I DESERVE THIS? 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇨🇳

That Boing 777 that drove us home, the Hotel S that gave us a comfortable stay in Macau, the magical surroundings of Disney Land, and the City of dreams — the place where we explore the Venetian Hotel, ride the train to London, and take a picture with the Eiffel Tower. These things together with the amazing Korean foods for dinner, are the things that made our Holy Week extra special. Hong Kong and Macau, we have set our footprints there, and take memories back to our mother land Philippines 🇵🇭

Now the question is: Do I Deserve all of these?
If we talk about financial and physical strength, the answer is No. So let’s talk about religion. The answer is still No. Because Hong Kong mission is for the faithful servant of God who is qualified enough to do the mission — a graduate of Bible School.

So now, I thank God for His Grace and for strengthening my faith. These turned my “no”into “yes”. As a born again believer, I deserve to be trained, corrected and mentored for the edification of the church. Ephesians 4:11 sent me there to be processed. The faith of our mentor led us to demonstrate and apply our learning in equipping the saints. Favors? Yes I deserve it because John 14 says so. How about the authority to do a mission? Yes I got it from Acts 1:8 and Luke 4:18-19. As long as you have faith, that faith is clear, manifested, and powerful, then everything you got is really meant for you.

For all we know being born again — you have two births. In your second birth you found yourself having the life of an extra ordinary. You must be doing the works of Jesus just like what we did in Hong Kong and Macau.
