Bro. Manny - A tireless servant with a gentle spirit

All of us have been richly blessed by the way Bro. Manny loved us, either through his tireless service in our CFC community or through his sharings, reflections and encouragements. While a lot of us complain of burnout or just being tired in our meetings or service, I've never heard of our Bro. Manny complain even with an oxygen tank on his shoulders or even when it was obvious that he is not in the best of health, gasping for air or breathing heavily. A few months after his transplant, there he was standing in the podium giving glory to our God, witnessing to God's loving kindness, encouraging those who were down. Every time he shares his experiences in the podium, tears usually fall from my eyes even though I've heard the same sharing from a number of our activities.

Bro. Manny, truly you are God''s gift to our community and to all of us. You have a raised the bar of unselfish service to our Lord.
