ULOG DAY 64: Pastor Manuel "Mao" Ocampo's 58 Birthday

I really was so great full that Pastor Mao becomes our pastor because he gives knowledge and impart great lessons in our lives. He is also the one that becomes Gods Instrument to help us with all our struggles, to help our family not be broken. He is also the one who inspires us to live a life with a great fear to God.

Becoming an emcee on his birthday is a great part and its also my way of saying thank you for him. For all things that he did for me and for the lives of my family.

Before going to the proper or the main part the giving of messages. I created a game this game us called "I know Indeed" this is a game to test the part of the family on how close or how they know pastor mao as a father and a husband.

This game realky gives a lot of things that we don't know about pastor mao. We are also informed what color he likes, food, what he did when he don't have a work, what time is his devotional, and also his favorite verse.

This gamr is really enjoyed not just them bit also to the whole congregation.

After the game there is also what we call presentation by the kiddos.

The kiddos also showcase their talents for pastor Mao's Birthday.

The giving of messages, this is really a great part of the program where everybody sees the appreciation to pastor mao, as a pastor, as a mentor, as a friend, as a father.

In giving this appreciation and thanks to pastor mao tears also flows to the face.

And one of the leaders and worker in the church since thus day they have also an outing with their family. She just send me her message for pastor Mao that day.

"For me pastor Mao ikaw akong teacher kay ikaw nagtudlo anang do not present a problem without a solution,
You are my father kau concern ka even sa emotion/feeling tong panahon nga i.'m so down and angry kay daghay nangaway sa ako ikaw akong papa nga niingon unload yourself kay ma ulcer ka ana gamay pa ra ba c prince,
