Testimony by Dr. Ma. Cresencia Marcelo

Hi everyone!!!GOD IS GOOD!!!...ALL THE TIME!!!

I am Dr. Ma. Cresencia I. Marcelo, also known as Dra. maricris, Dra. Cris, and "DOKI" to Apo Conching and the whole Kapatiran. I am a dentist by profession. You may be wondering why I am now here giving my testimony. Thank God, I was brought here not because of an illness, but to share my skills in playing the keyboard, to give accompaniment to the Kapatiran whenever we go places, sa paghahayo po ng DIVINE MERCY at MAMA MARY. It was a God-given talent and I believe that I should bring the glory back to HIM.

Me and Nanay Iya met Apo Conching in January of 2005 thru Tita Irma Nuguid who've been serving our LORD and supporting our Apo Conching. From the time Tita Irma had been diagnosed of cancer, Nanay Iya also started going to Paligue, Candaba, Pampanga though she had no any serious illness except for rheumatism. Nanay Iya told me that it was in that place where she really find inner peace. Since then, I started giving her a ride everytime she feel like going to the the altar in Paligue and I also would accompany her everytime she has a project or a charity work. I am so grateful to her. She has been an inspiration and as I may say, she made me understand the true meaning of faith and service. Even before we met Apo Conching, both of us already had a call to service as members of the choir which was initiated by her through the message of the Blessed Mother to her. From then on, she would bring me along with her whenever possible. She's been a second mom to me... and now, the "Nanay ng Kapatiran".

I've been the organist of the group everytime we go out of town for a mission like the group's mission in Roxas City, Iloilo, Pangasinan, etc. God is so good, that HE knows I need someone like Kuya Allan Andrade (who, I can say, is really far better keybordist than me) who can help me in playing our daily worship songs at the chapel specially now that I can't provide music accompaniment to our daily worship singing at the altar in a regular basis. At present, if you'll come to the altar any day of the week and hear the music playing, it's Kuya Allan serving our Loving God and sharing us his talent through playing the keyboard.

Aside from being the keyboardist before, there were a lot of instances when I serve as the "official driver" of Apo Conching and the Kapatiran whenever we go to other place to preach and share the goodness of the Lord. It was fun driving for my brothers and sisters in Christ although there were incidents where the car is stucked-up in the mud or where we can't go through a narrow street. It may be hard for some time but I enjoyed and treasure every moment of it.

I enjoyed taking photos of events and documenting everything I've witnessed in this holy place. I've hosted special events such as Apo Conching's birthday last September. Some photos you've been seeing here have been captured by me. I am so blessed enough to witness every wonderful event at the altar and being grateful to GOD, I am sharing to all of you my brothers and sisters who are not here in the Philippines these photos of precious moments that Our GOD THE FATHER continues to let happen in the name of HIS son JESUS CHRIST through the HOLY SPIRIT in the person of APO CONCHING. I treasure and enjoy every experience GOD is giving me and I hope that through my little ways of sharing my talents, I can bring GLORY TO HIS HOLY NAME.

The messages of the Holy Spirit through Apo Conching taught me a lot on humility. I am deeply touched every time MAMA MARY would let me feel how much she loves me. I am so grateful to have the chance to see different people from all walks of life who seek for physical and spiritual in the name of the DIVINE MERCY; seeing the "alagads" sacrificing their time and their all just to be of service to GOD, to support Apo Conching and, to help those who needs healing. These really inspires me.

And I am really happy that God allowed these things to happen to me for it wasn't only me in my family who've seen HIS wonderful mercy, my parents did too. My father who suffered from mild stroke which affected his memory 5 years ago is know ok after drinking the herbal prescriptions from Apo Conching. My mother who worked as attendant in the hospital for 30 yrs and is so much knowledgeable about medicines, confinements and medical procedures never doubt or question about the uses and healing effects of the herbal medicines that are mostly prescribed to patients in Paligue. My father gave up all the medicines prescribed by his doctor and everytime his blood pressure goes up, he'll just drink a mix of boiled putat ng mangga (young mango leaves) and pandan leaves. There may still be memory lapses since the attack, but I thank GOD for APO CONCHING's encouraging words that I don't have to worry anymore. He's doing good now and we are really thankful that, from the start, he does not feel any pain or suffer like those who are seriously illed. I strongly believed that it's our trust and faith in GOD that keeps my father well.

This is all I can share for now... I look forward to more testimonies and although my sharing is simple I am still hoping that everyone would read my story and feel how merciful OUR FATHER is in our present time. Thanks for the time.

APO CONCHING... WE LOVE YOU!!!
