🇵🇭Teodoro Kakilala

It was March 1981, After my graduation in college… graduating in the course of engineering mechanical… in the big Universities in Visayas. Thank you Rev. John Doroski… the central figure in Cubao center in Manila, to Mr. Morotani leader in H.Q., to the brothers and sisters, Sister Faith Batino, Atty. Celso Talaba, Bro. Eric Nedusa, Birnard de la Cruz, Brother Raul Costodio, Brother Dante Negre, Edie Batino, Leo Fortiza, John Paeste, Teddy Polares, Nilo Barquez, Shirly Bergara. Brother Martin, Bro Dany Daigdigan and etc… it was then when I arrived here in Manila, the capital city in Philippines. I stayed in the house of my cousin in Navotas, when I meet Brother, Jacob, and who invited me to the church. At the time he asked me if I believed the return of the Messiah. I said yes — as a Christian I'm waiting the returned of Jesus, that why it's easy for Brother Jacob to witness me at that time.

He accompanied me in the center there in Sampaloc, which Sister Conie, Cecil Dangel gave a lecture at that time. For me it's hard that the Divine Principle could be absurd directly in my mind. My mind is full and couldn't understood. Anyway I continued my lectured until I finished up to chapter 9… it was then I promised to God I follow the Messiah. And then it was came into the point that I sliced my hand brace with a knife, to wrote my parents with my blood, that Jesus Christ was already returned. And my parents came in the center with pain and agony — they cried when we talk each other, and said, "what happened to you, are you okay, we need to see a doctor and had a checkup." I said to them I'm okay, and I'm happy to serve God, that the time my journey began in the Mission. Well to continue, I was assigned in Davao that was 1981 in Bonifacio St., Davao city, at the back of University of Mindanao, and that time Atty. Celso Talaba.

My central Figure, and my mission was fundraising and witnessing. So I'm inspired doing mission, elder brother and sisters — they gave always inspirations to gain more love and faith. But I always put in my mind, and that I love God and True parents, that I will serve theme without any means. Here came the time that we had 40 days fundraising, and I was chosen one of the fundraiser. And in that time I experienced many kinds of rejection and persecution. The others said that "Moonies is a group of a cult," and some said "we kidnap students in the Universities"…. And one of the hardest experience I across, was that I enter in the Law office, and when I approach to theme and said, "we're having fundraising to raised fund for seminars," someone got angry and said, "Moonies get out," and he take his gun under his to shoot me, and somebody grad me and pushed me outside… very terrible moment, that I almost cry. But the more persecution I received, the more I became strong. To make it short, the fundraising campaigned finest, and I was the best fundraiser.

The mission continued, in this time I was send pioneering in Surigao, together with Brother Martin, with nothing money, only our fundraising items to gain money, and produce a center to gave lecture and witnessing. Going in our place we fund raise, and where ever the night came, whether we're in the bus station, we find a place to sleep… so proceed to our place Surigao, and we looked for a house for rent. Somehow we continued fundraising to have had more money for the rental for our center. After we found a center near to the school, so began our mission witnessing. But fortunately, we're called to go back in the Davao center after 3 months ago. When our begin to love the place that you wanted to bear fruit.

We go back to Davao, at that time it was Sister Sherly Vergara the central figure. We do the same mission, and then I was sent to pioneer again in Cagayan de Oro. At that time with me Sister Mila and Brother Leo. We stay there for 2 years, and we had spiritual children there, and after I was called again in Davao. And this time I was sent to Manila to attend National Fundraising Team, for 2 consecutive 40 days NFT… The central Leader at that time was Mr. Morotani Son. And I was also the best fundraiser for 2 consecutive 40 days NFT… and after I was called up for 40 days seminar in Antipolo, and the lecturer was Philip Shanker…
