To all my brothers and sisters in Christ, grace to you and peace from God, our Father. To give you a brief introduction of my life, my name is Masha. I'm 28 years old. I received my salvation during the 2nd Bible Conference held in Legend Hotel, Manila last September 30, 2004.I was born in a Catholic family. We are not that active when it comes to Sunday services. I came from a broken family. And I think that was one reason I started to hate God. I grew up suffering difficulties in life and blamed God for it. Whenever a person wanted to share the Bible with me, I always refused. I even hid in the closet and pretended that there were no people inside especially when the group of Jehovah's Witnesses visited our house. At a young age, I became the bread winner of our family. My mind was set only on money and job. That was all that mattered to me. Then I met the family of Mr. Chean.Mr. Chean invited me to attend the conference.

I feared not to wake up the next day for I surely know I will go to hell. As I continued to study the Bible with Mr. Kevin, I was really annoyed reading the verses repeatedly. We started at 1pm and yet, I could not find the answers. I really wanted to walk out because whenever I asked Kevin, instead of giving the answers, he just smiled and told me to read the verses again that which I just did. I got frustrated until he opened the Bible in Isaiah 53. For the sake of ending our conversation, I read it.
