Hi Kuya Val, I thank God for your wisdom. Thank you, because you are one of the reasons kung bakit mas na iintindahan ko ang word ni God. The way how you deliver your preachings it's as if God is really speaking to us. I thank God because he gave us not just a pastor but also a brother sa katauhan mo po. May God bless you more Kuya and more corny jokes to laugh at in the future.

Dear Pastor Val,
I honor you Pastor Val for your tenacity and heart for people to know Christ. I like that the pandemic has not stopped you from your call but all the more you use the social media and online platform to your advantage. I thank God for your life as our dear pastor who readily and willingly tend the flock making sure that everyone is supported in whatever way you can. Your calm demeanor as you faced challenges is something to be reckoned with. May you continue to impact the lives of people around you as you press on in your pursuit of God and His presence.

I just want to greet and give appreciation to our Leaders/Pastors who are the foundation of DMI Cambodia, keeping the family united and strongly bonded, to Ate Cati and Kuya and his family.
I want to say thank you for your service and effort to continue bringing people to GOD and keeping the fire and hunger to worship.
To Kuya Val and Ate Barbs, can't contain by words how thankful I am to your family. You open the doors of your home for me and invited me. I really saw your effort to let me feel that wherever i am there's family. I remember during Christmas last year, i already had the mindset that i will celebrate it alone, but you are there, you invited me to join your celebration. Then halos lagi na ako nasa inyo every saturday,haha. Kuya Val is not just there as a Pastor but as a Kuya talaga.I pray prosperity over your family, God will continue to provide your needs and guide you in everything you will do. Thank you again, see you again pag okay na situation?

Dear Pastor Barbs,
I thank you for being the motherhood of the church. I honor your patience, empathy, resilience and readiness and heart to serve that makes you an astounding pastor. I like that you wear many hats and just about ready to wear whatever suits the need. You’re amazing in taking care of your family and the people whom God has placed in your hands. I appreciate all the things that you have accomplished in making sure that everyone is accommodated and taken cared of. I can say that you are a woman in Proverbs 31:30 “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the LORD, shall be praised.
Blessings,
