Good evening everyone. Ako po si Zhaira Joy Mamauag from Cabbo, Peñablanca. Lumaki akong mahirap. Pito kaming magkakapatid, ako ang bunso. May isa akong ate na may down syndrome. Ang iba kong mga kapatid, nag-asawa ng maaga, sa makatwid, walang nakatapos ng college. Sa isip ko, ayaw ko matulad sa kanila. Mataas ang gusto kong marating. Gusto kong maging successful, may trabaho at mabibili ko ang mga gusto ko. Ayaw ko ng buhay na kinalakihan ko. Gusto ko maiahon ang pamilya ko sa kahirapan. Gusto ko maging mayaman.

Nung bata ako, wala akong ibang alam gawin kundi pumasok sa school at makipaglaro. Ganun ang araw-araw kong buhay. Pero Unti unting nagbago ang routine ng buhay namin. Nung 2014, grade 6 ako, nagsimulang pumunta sila Pastora Sandra at lolo Carlos Sangab sa barrio namin. Nung una, nagtataka ako, ano’ng ginagawa nila? May dalang libro si Lola Sandra at ang pinakainaabangan namin ay yung dala nyang biscuit at zest-o. Everytime na pupunta sila dun, excited kaming mga bata dahil sa dala dala nila. Wala akong idea na ang tunay na dala nila ay ang Salita ng Diyos. Nag-umpisa kaming makinig sa ilalim ng puno, sa bahay ng tita ko at kung saan-saan may pwede kaming pagpwestuhan. At first, wala kaming maintindihan sa mga sinasabi ng aming Pastor. Personally, ako, inaabangan ko talaga ay kung ano ang dadalhin nilang meryenda. Ilang taon ang lumipas, unti unti kong naiintindihan na ang shineshare nila ay hindi meryenda, kundi ang kabutihan ng Diyos sa kanilang buhay. Gumagalaw na pala ang Diyos sa buhay ko. Nung pinatayo na ang aming maliit na kapilya sa Cabbo, lalo akong naging excited. Inaabangan ko ang Sunday service dahil nagkaroon ng malaking pagbabago sa routine ng mga buhay namin doon. Lahat ng inuutos ni Lola, maglinis, magtanim, magdrawing ng bible based coloring books, magmemorize ng verses at kung anu ano pa. Pinapakanta rin kami ng praise songs na never ko pa narinig sa radyo o tv, tanging si Pastora Sandra lang ang nagtuturo. Hindi ko lubos maisip na ako pala ay bliness ni Lord ng talent sa pagkanta. Pinaglilead ako ng praise and worship kahit wala kaming sound system. Masaya kaming mga bata tuwing andun sila, ang hindi namin namalayan na may mas malaking purpose pala ang Diyos sa amin sa Cabbo.
Nabaptize ako nung 1st year highschool ako, naalala ko pa si Pastor Jojo Julian ang nagbaptize sa akin after ng Youth Con 2015.
Mas naexcite ako nung nakakasama ko na sila tita Jings and family, hindi lang dahil may kasama na akong maglead ng worship, kundi dahil may dala syang sinanta o sopas at softdrinks

Ako, bilang estudyante, ginawa ko ang lahat para makapagtapos, pero salat na salat kami. Kaya namasukan ako bilang tagaalaga ng bata habang nag oonlie class nung pandemic. Nagside line din ako bilang burger stand attendant, sumali sa pageant, singing contest, nagbenta ako ng gulay sa mga teachers ko at mga kaklase upang may pang baon ako.. Nung 2021, kahit nahihirapan ako, naggraduate parin ako sa Senior High ng with honors. Akala ko hindi na din ako makakapagcollege dahil walang pangsupport ang aking parents. Sabi pa nga nila, tapusin ko lang ang highschool ko at mamasukan na sa Manila bilang katulong. Napakabuti ng Diyos dahil binigyan ako ng chance makapagcollege. Si Lola Sandra ang naging inspirasyon ko para mag-aral ng Midwifery. Malaki ang influence nya sa akin bilang isang church leader at bilang isang lola. Nangarap ako ng mas mataas sa inaasahan sa akin. Ngunit hindi naging madali dahil hindi ako nakapasok para sa scholarship program ng CSU, kaya sa MCNP na ako nag-enroll na walang scholarship. Namasukan ako sa bahay ng isang abugada upang may pambayad sa tuition fee. Ako ay Naging all-around care taker, caregiver at personal assistant nya. Nagpatuloy ako sa pagserve kay Lord bilang praise & worship leader kahit tight ang schedule ko bilang working student. Madalas hindi sapat ang aking kinkita, pati online selling pinasok ko din matustusan lang ang aking pag aaral. May time na gusto ko nang magstop nalang sa pag aaral. Pero dahil si Lord ang nagbigay ng paraan upang masimulan ko ang college, naniniwala akong iproprovide nya ang mga pangangailangan ko. Naalala ko nung internship ko, si tita Jingle pa ang bumili ng uniform ko. Si tita Celine, si Lola Sandra, at may iba pa, sila po ang bigay ng Diyos na naging daan upang makapagtapos ako ng Midwifery hanggang sa magreview ako.

October 2023, in-house review namin, madaming gastos, gusto ko nang maggive up. May time na inisip ko baka hindi nalang ako mag exam dahil kulang ang pangbayad ko sa review costs. But praise God, natapos ko ang review. After one month, nipasa ko ang exam, at isa na akong ganap na Midwife.

Now, I am currently working as a Midwife at Clinica De Leon Incorporated Hospital. Ako ngayon ay hindi lamang isang midwife, kundi isa rin akong servant ni Lord na nagbahagi ng Kanyang salita sa aking mga pasyente. Alam kong ginagamit ako ng Panginoon upang maging inspirasyon sa aking mga katrabaho. Nung natanggap ako sa De Leon

Ang aking life verse ay matatagpuan sa Jer:29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give hope and a future" May nakalaan na plano ang Diyos sa bawat isa. Mas maganda at mas purposeful ang ating kinabukasan kung isusuko natin sa kanya ang lahat ng sakit, paghihirap at pagsubok. Lahat ng paghihirap sa buhay natin ay panandalian lamang. Ang pag-ibig ng Diyos ang magpakailanman. Ang success ay hindi kung ano ang naabot natin sa buhay, ang true success ay ang pamumuhay ng Panginoon sa bawat isa. Ang pinagdaanan ko ay pagpapatotoo na ang Diyos ay tapat at napakabuti.

WISDOM IN THE WILDERNESS

Lesson 4
DEVELOPMENT: FORGED by the Father

Deuteronomy 8:2–5

The wilderness is not God’s workshop for punishment but it is His workshop for development.

God doesn’t waste dry seasons. He uses them to shape our character, deepen our faith, and prepare us for His purpose. Just as a blacksmith forges steel through fire and repeated blows, our Heavenly Father lovingly forms His children through every test and trial.

In the wilderness, we are FORGED:

Formed Through Testing
(Jeremiah 23:29)
Obedience Over Opinion
(Hebrews 4:12)
Resilience Through Relationship
(Psalm 23:4)
Growing Into God’s Purpose
(Isaiah 41:10)
Establishing a Legacy
(Psalm 1:3)
Destined for More
(Psalm 126:3)

Every delay has a purpose. Every struggle is shaping something eternal. The Father’s hands are always at work even when life feels difficult.

We are not here because the journey was easy; we are here because the Father was faithful.

If you’re in a wilderness season today, don’t lose heart. The fire you’re facing may be the very fire God is using to forge you into the person He created you to be.

Your wilderness is not your final destination but it is God’s preparation for your destiny.

🇵🇭 WISDOM IN THE WILDERNESS: Lessons In The Dry Seasons Of Life

Lesson 3
DELIVERANCE: Freedom Is Not Free
Exodus 14:10–31

Freedom is one of God’s greatest gifts, but true freedom is never cheap.

Israel was delivered not because they were strong, but because God is a Deliverer. Before they crossed the Red Sea, God first fought for them. Their freedom began with His grace.

But deliverance didn’t end at the Red Sea. God told them, “Go forward!” Freedom requires faith, obedience, and a willingness to leave the past behind.

Many people have been rescued from Egypt, yet still carry Egypt in their hearts. God didn’t just want to take Israel out of slavery but He wanted to take slavery out of Israel.

Today, God still calls us to live FREE:

F – Freed from Bo***ge
R – Release the Past
E – Embrace Your New Identity
E – Enter Your God-given Purpose

Remember:

Freedom is not the absence of battles; it is the presence of God in the middle of them.

The God who opened the Red Sea is still making a way where there seems to be no way. Don’t camp at the shore of fear. Step forward in faith. Your deliverance is leading you into God’s purpose.

“Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.” — Exodus 14:13

WISDOM IN THE WILDERNESS

Lesson 2
Dependence: Hunger & Healing
Exodus 15–16

The wilderness doesn’t just reveal what’s around us. It reveals what’s within us.

Sometimes God allows hunger not to punish us, but to expose what truly satisfies our hearts. Hunger reveals our cravings, our idols, and ultimately our desperate need for God.

Sometimes God allows us to taste bitter waters so He can heal the bitterness hidden inside us. Not every painful experience is meant to destroy us; many are meant to restore us.

The same God who rained down manna every morning also turned the bitter waters of Marah into sweet water. He still provides for the empty and heals the broken today.

When we depend on God daily, we discover that His mercy is enough, His provision is sufficient, and His healing is possible.

The wilderness teaches us this truth:
God doesn’t always remove our hunger immediately but He always becomes our Bread. He doesn’t always prevent bitter experiences but He always has the power to make bitter things beautiful.

Don’t let your hunger drive you away from God. Let it drive you to God. Don’t let your bitterness define your story. Let God’s grace rewrite it.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4

GUARD THE HEART BEFORE IT BREAKS THE WORLD

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23

The heartbreaking incidents of school violence in recent days like the one that happened in Tacloban remind us that the greatest battlefield is not the classroom, the streets, or even social media but the human heart.

Violence rarely begins with a weapon. It begins with a heart that is wounded, consumed by anger, deceived, neglected, or left without hope.

Jesus warned us, “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder…” (Matthew 15:19).

What happens inside the heart eventually finds its way into our words, our choices, and sometimes into unspeakable acts.

While we certainly need safer schools and better security measures, metal detectors can only detect weapons but they cannot detect bitterness, loneliness, despair, or hatred. Only God can transform the human heart.

This is more than a social issue; it is a spiritual wake-up call.

As Christians, our response must go beyond expressing grief.

1. Pray for the next generation.
Pray not only for academic success but, more importantly, for their salvation and relationship with Christ.

“May our sons flourish in their youth…” (Psalm 144:12).

2. Strengthen the home. Character is first formed around the family table before it is tested in the classroom or in the world.

“These commandments… impress them on your children.” (Deuteronomy 6:6–7).

3. Share Christ.
The lasting answer to darkness is not merely more information but transformation through Jesus, who declared, “I am the Light of the world.” (John 8:12).

Let us remember:

When hearts drift from God, society feels the consequences.

The church must not only prepare children for exams but also prepare them for eternity.

We cannot change yesterday’s tragedy, but by God’s grace we can help shape tomorrow’s generation.

May God heal every grieving family, protect our children, strengthen our homes, and awaken His Church to raise a generation whose hearts belong fully to Christ.

WISDOM IN THE WILDERNESS
Lessons In The Dry Seasons

Lesson 1. Direction: From Egypt to Empty

Sometimes God’s greatest blessing is not giving us the shortest route, but the safest one.

When Israel left Egypt, God intentionally led them the long way around. Why? Because He knew what they were not yet ready for. What looked like a delay was actually divine protection. What felt like a detour was actually development.

Many of us are asking, “Lord, why is this taking so long?” But perhaps God is more concerned about our maturity than our comfort, our character than our convenience, and our transformation than our timeline.

Israel left Egypt in a moment, but it took years for Egypt to leave Israel. Deliverance can happen instantly, but transformation is a process.

If God is leading you through a wilderness season today, take heart. The long road is not proof that God has forgotten you. It may be proof that God is preparing you.

God knows what we are not ready for. The shortest route is not always the safest route.
Deliverance is instant; transformation is a process.

Before God changes your destination, He often changes your identity.

HAPPY 14TH ANNIVERSARY, NTCM Philippines!

Today, as we celebrate our 14th Church Anniversary and Father’s Day, our hearts overflow with gratitude to our faithful Heavenly Father.

Fourteen years ago, NTCM began with just a handful of believers, a God-given vision, and a determination to follow His call despite limited resources, uncertainties, and countless challenges. There were moments when the road seemed difficult, the obstacles seemed overwhelming, and the future seemed unclear. Yet God never failed us.

What started as a small gathering of faithful people has grown by God’s grace into multiple ministry locations across the Philippines, touching lives, making disciples, planting churches, and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Looking back, we realize that God has truly FORGED us in the wilderness:

-Formed Through Testing
(Jeremiah 23:29)
-Obedience Over Opinion
(Hebrews 4:12)
-Resilience Through Relationship
(Psalm 23:4)
-Growing Into God’s Purpose
(Isaiah 41:10)
-Establishing A Legacy
(Psalm 1:3)
-Destined For More
(Psalm 126:3)

Every trial became training.
Every setback became a setup.
Every challenge became a testimony.
Every wilderness season became wisdom.

Today, we honor the fathers who have faithfully led their families and spiritually fathered many others. Thank you for reflecting the heart of our Heavenly Father through your love, sacrifice, guidance, and faithfulness.

As we celebrate this milestone, we give all glory to God who has sustained us every step of the way.

We are not here because the journey was easy; we are here because the Father was faithful.

To God be all the glory for 14 years of grace, growth, and faithfulness—and for the greater things still ahead! 🙏🙏🙏

Wisdom in the Wilderness

This is who we are as NTCM Philippines: a LIFE Church flourishing even in the middle of life’s dry seasons. For fourteen years, God has sustained us, strengthened us, and helped us not only survive but thrive by learning to:

Love the Lord,
Inspire Individuals,
Fellowship with Fellow Believers, Evangelize for Eternity.

The wilderness is not a place of defeat but a place of growth. In every trial, God teaches us wisdom, deepens our faith, and prepares us for greater purpose.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12
