\u201cIn 2014, started to doubt my religion.\u00a0 I told myself that if there are other religions that established their beliefs on the Bible I will give it a chance,\u201d said Bro. Felicia.<\/p>\n

Bro. Trifon Felicia has considered the importance of Salvation through Jesus Christ.\u00a0 He likes to read the Bible and discovered many things that is in contradict with the doctrine of his religion.\u00a0 One day he decided to buy a radio, while scanning to the different station, he discovered 93.5 DXIM as a Christian radio station and became an avid listener.<\/p>\n

He decided to study the Bible and at the same time send questions to \u201cSukdanan sa Kamatuoran\u201d about the things that he doesn\u2019t understand.\u00a0 It is his desire to really find the true religion and discover that the Seventh-day Adventist has its foundation in the Word of God.<\/p>\n

I decided to find a church and Pr. Ben Rosales arranged my baptism.\u00a0 I even prepared money to pay for my baptism, but Bro. Tirso Lagumbay \u2013 an anchor of the radio program \u201cLamparahan ug Dangpanan\u201d who happened to be an elder of the Church told me, that I don\u2019t need to pay for my baptism.<\/p>\n

I was baptized at Ampayon Seventh-day Church and I am now a member of Sigla Seventh-day Adventist Church.\u00a0 \u201cI am so thankful to God that there is Hope Radio that enlightens me about God\u2019s word and I am encouraging everyone to continue to pray for the Hope Radio, its financial needs and the listeners, because I know the Holy Spirit is working and inviting people for heaven,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
