My Brother Jhek Jhek
I have introduced him before, but I though you might like an update. He is the right hand servant here at CC Masantol. I've enjoyed getting to know Jhek Jhek. He is my shadow everywhere. Jhek Jhek is a young Christian in his twenties. He came to the Lord through the ministry of Pastor Pat and Cindy here at CC Masantol. Previously he was very involved in the Catholic church. I believe he said he was like an altar boy. He comes from a large family that lives on a very poor street around the corner. The street itself is only wide enough for trikes or motorcycles (like an alley). His humble home is off the street through a passageway, sizewise I just make it through. He has a five year old that he cares for as a single Dad. The mother found another man and lives with him. JJ and his daughter Kin Kin live with his parents (Rosie & Rodriquez). Also in the home are his sister (Jane) and younger sister (Shine Shine) who faithfully attend fellowship at CCM. Rosie (JJ mom) recently had her 10th child, an adorable 6 month old. The family survives by doing what it takes. They some times sell corn on the cobb in front of their home, other times its shish-kabob chicken (I think) while Reuben works long hours to support his family.
Praise God JJ loves Jesus. His desire is to serve and glorify Him. Daily he comes to CC Masantol to serve Jesus. He cleans floors and bathrooms. He sets up chairs for church. He washes windows and sweeps. Sometimes he even cooks. He has a servant's heart. How do you reach out to someone who lives such a different lifestyle? You reach them with Jesus' love and teaching of the Word. I believe God has a great future for Jhek Jhek. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
