I would like to thank Jesus for His mercy, and dying on the cross for me. My first Road to Damascus begins in a little town of Manila, called Quiapo. In my third year in high school, I became good friends with a young man name Joseph, who invited me to a Bible Study in the campus. It was there I first heard about Jesus Christ and how He would be coming back soon. Our Bible Study teacher, Pastor Nomer Trinidad told me much about the Gospel, about end time events and the Tribulation, and about Hell. God planted it in my heart to believe what he said, and it scared me.
After a year, my friend, Joseph graduated from high school leaving me responsible to gather the other students in the campus for Bible Study. I began to think that it was very difficult for me to do such responsibility, so I also stopped attending Bible Study. That’s the time I became so exposed to temptations, I could do nothing against it. I was easily tempted and carried away by evil influences. I became an easy prey for the Devil. I found myself a member of a notorious gang in our town. I learned to smoke, at first cigarettes then later on marijuana.
One day I was arrested for concealing deadly weapons. A month and a half later I was arrested again for robbery highway with added charges of attempting to elude and resist the police. I spent eight months in the city jail and fourteen months in Sampaguita Penal Colony. In the prison, I’ve seen how God has protected me and saved me from troubles but I just ignored those. I knew that He led me to that point where I did not have anyone to lean on, no friends, no family, no one but Him.
The day after I got out, I went back to the bars and got drunk, but I also poured my heart out to God, asking “Why did this happen? My life was a mess. One morning the Lord made me remember the church where I was baptized and decided to go there on Sunday.

If so, share it with us. I am planning to compile stories of miraculous and unusual testimonies of a Road to Damascus experiences. If you have an outstanding testimony of this nature or know a member in your church who does, please share it with us. I desire testimonies from various geographical, ethnic, religious, and generational backgrounds. I am particularly seeking stories with one or more of the following elements:
Deliverance from drug addiction, alcoholism, demon possession, criminal lifestyle, homosexuality, etc.
Outstanding miracles associated with conversion such as healing, dream, vision, angelic appearance, or voice from God.
Victory over difficult obstacles, such as extreme opposition from family or friends, racial prejudice, poverty, handicap, or childhood abuse.
Personal discovery of biblical truths with relatively little outside influence.

Pastor:
I was really blessed sana minsan makadalaw ako sayo sa church jan. Naalala ko tuloy nung ako ang kumanta nyan sa church nyo. GOD BLESS PASTOR.
Pastor Alvin.
To: Sis. Janet and family,
Thanks for the comments. I too, have always loved the song. The first time I heard that song was, when it was sung by Pastor Alvin xxxxxx and Pastor Jojo XXXXX in our church in Novaliches.
While making the video clip, I could not help but weep and cry, I viewed all the films about Him for the clip (The Nativity, The Color of the Cross, Jesus of Nazareth, The Greatest Story Ever Told and the Passion of the Christ) so I was overwhelmed that I haven’t slept that night, crying and remembering what He has done for me. He really loves us, all the times.
Here’s how you can download the video clip:
First you have to have a YouTube Downloader
He came from heaven down to Earth,
And in a stable His mom gave birth,
He came as just a precious child,
As just a babe, meek and mild.
The shepherds heard some loud voices ringing,
They looked in the sky and saw the angels singing,
They ran to the stable to see His face,
And at that moment they were filled with grace.
Some wisemen came from way afar,
By following a bright and shing star,
They brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold,
To the little king, just one day old.
He brought us all great peace and joy,
When He was just a baby boy,
He taught us how to love and pray,
He is the Savior, the one true way.
