Meeting our AAE Delegates - Nanay Bing Baguio from VD Cebu

I sat beside Nanay Isabel Baguio at lunch today (November 29/2nd day of our Encounter).
As we sat together to enjoy a Thai inspired meal, I learned that Nanay Isabel has been a Verbum Dei disciple for 18 years now. Wow! Truly a faithful servant of God.

She is still working as a Junior High School teacher at Cebu Institute of Technology University, teaching Cookery (Home Economics) and Values Education for the past 34 years now.
Really amazing!

When asked how she remained faithful to being a VD disciple, she mentioned, it is because of God’s faithfulness, even though she could be unfaithful at times. She strongly believes that God has been with her in her journey through thick or thin. Had it not for God’s faithfulness, she and her husband could have separated a long time ago due to relationship problems.

And although they have not been blessed with children of their own, her being a teacher and a disciple has made her a mother and guide to many more children and youth in her lifetime.
Amen.

Thank you Mila Abigan from VD Tagaytay for sharing this interview with us!

About the event

The Asian Australian Encounter is an international gathering of lay members and missionaries of our Verbum Dei community from Thursday, November 28, 2019 - Sunday, 1 December 2019, in Tagaytay. Representatives will be coming from our communities all over the Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam and Australia.

The theme of the encounter is “Push out a little from the shore” (Luke 5:3). Our Lord is inviting us to go for more, and to go deeper. The 4-day gathering includes reflections on pushing our boat out further, prayer times, sharing, adoration, Holy Mass, presentations of our countries, music, as well as cultural presentations.

Overall it promises to be a fun filled and meaningful encounter!
