Persevering in Faith

“JVP has allowed me to see God in a new light, through the eyes of the people of Zamboangita (Bukidnon). Here I am witness to all kinds of manifestations of faith, and I am constantly amazed at how a lot of the people that surround me have such a strong faith in God.”

– Gaby Alegre is a K-12 Liaison Officer at St. Isidore High School. While her days are booked with activities to help prepare the mission school for Senior High next year, her nights are filled with kwentuhan and tutorial sessions with 19 lumad scholars who fondly call her “Ate Gaby”.
