I have been ordained since January 2003. Through the years God has blessed my family very dearly. There have been some very difficult times in my life. But God has been a very pleasant help to me.
In 2008 I lost my brother in law Steven due to a liver transplant complication. However in August 2008 I became an associate pastor with the United Church of Christ in the Philippines. We do not ordain homosexuals. We are not nor have we ever been a part of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines. In fact our sister Church in America is the Disciples of Christ.
Since I have been ordained through the United Christian Ministries International my denomination says there is no need to re ordain. According to the Word of God in Ephesians 4:5 There is One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism. According to our denomination once you have been ordained you are ordained and it is not Biblical to re-ordain an individual a second time. Therefore, I will only be reconfirmed as an ordain pastor but my covering will be with the United Christian Ministries International.
I am presently working in Northern Samar Philippines under the NORWESCON Conference of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines. I will be celebrating my third year anniversary with the United Church of Christ in the Philippines of the University of Eastern Philippines Church.
With Love in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior
