-Pastor Jaime-
I want to introduce you to a wonderful, sweet pastor couple in the Philippines.....Jaime and Corrie Aquino. Together they started the "I Am Redeemer and Master Evangelical Church" December 9, 1995. Pastor Jamie and Corrie have been faithful for many years reaching out to their community and loving people to Christ.
I was teaching a pastor's conference and they invited me to visit their home and church after lunch and tell me their story. The above right picture is their home which Pastor built along with the church. He is a very knowledgeable carpenter and is called upon quite often by other people because of his expertise.
As you can see from the pic of the three us the platform is bare. The reason is that a Typhoon came through months before and demolished most of the church. The left pic is where there is a Bible study in progress is the corner where Pastor's family and members took cover. A large tree was uprooted and fell directedly in that corner blocking the doorway. They had to crawl out through the openings in the tree branches. The pic on the right is Pastor Jaime and Pastor Alberto moving tables together for our afternoon time together. You can see the shell of the building has been reconstructed.
I did not realize the spread that Corrie was going to provide. She is a wonderful and hostess and a wonderful cook. We had my favorite dish, Talopia, homemade bread, and ice cold coconut juice...Yummy. I ask if we could do this again the next day. lol. On the right is a pic of completion...the building and the people celebrating the new facility.
Pastor and Corrie are blessed with church family and biological family. Pray for them and their various ministries to family and community.
P.S. I forgot to mention that Corrie has a roadside market stand that she operates on a daily basis. She is a very busy lady.
