I'm back in the country after my temporary stayed with my daughter's family, taking care of her first child, a healthy baby girl. My Christian experiences in Saudi has strengthen my faith in Christ a lot. The OFW's (Oversees Filipino Workers) has showed so much tenacity and faithfulness despite so many restrictions living in exactly a different set of people and culture. Christianity has been more defined in the life of the believers during their struggles living in a strange land away from their families and friends. Those were the days when you need comforts and encouragement somehow Christians have Christ in them to hold on to. And having the spirit of Christ alone could able a believer to overcome longings from their loved one.
I've seen how the Christians in restricted country could bind together and prayed for miracle in their lives. The spirit is alive and there were so much enjoyment to celebrate about. The worship and prayer meeting were mostly a spirit- filled event. Blessings are kept pouring in and every believer has their own spirit-filled life to share.
