Paul Yadao

Pastor


Ptr. Paul, thank you for your life and leadership. Your steadfast faith, love, and devotion to the Lord over the years truly inspire us all. Your walk with God speaks to us as real as Paul's words in 1 Cor 11:1 “Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.” God richly bless you, Ptr. Paul!

~ Abe Sianoya

What a season it has been for you - physically and spiritually - and by God's grace you came out victorious! The praise of God never left your lips in life and in death. Thank you for showing us that God is worthy of our praises no matter what. Truly, the Lord is our Shepherd, we shall not be in want.

~ Venite Castillo

We pray that He continue to give you strength, overflowing love, and blessings upon blessings to you and your family. We love you!

Ahl Yadao

Pastor


“Ate Ahl” is a friend, a mentor and “Mom” to many
Her passion for family, 100 nations and love for Jesus is contagious
She treasures friendships and genuine relationships
She exudes beauty from the inside out

For all that you are and all that you do, THANK YOU SO MUCH! We love and honor you, Ate Ahl!

Yve?

~ Yvette Geroleo

I want to take this opportunity to thank you and honor you. You are not just a pastor to us, but a sister, a mother, and a friend. You have guided me in one of my struggles before and I appreciate everything you have done for me. You are a blessing and an inspiration. We love you!

~ Inna De Luna

Hindi ko po akalain na hahangaan mo ako (ay mali, honoring pastor's pala ito ?✌)
I remember when I was still new member of Destiny SG, kapag sinasabi nila na hinahanap nyo ako at ni Ate Jane kinakabahan ako, feeling ko kasi lagi ako principal's office dahil lagi akong wala or pasaway na naman ako ? 
But when I became part of DMI Metro only then when I get to know the real Ate Ahl (hindi naman pala sya terror, char! ?)
Ate Ahl, I truly honor you for being you. You have inspired me that being your true self is the best dress a woman could ever wear. And a woman with much wisdom is the best crown. Thank you for being an inspiration of faith and epitome of true beauty in the eyes of God. May your wisdom and unwavering faith be overflowing to reach and empower more woman around the globe. Love you Ate Ahl ♥️

It’s an honor to know you and be part of my Christian life. Thank you sa walang sawang mga advices pagdating sa faith, love life and pati sa business na din. You are an inspiration to me; someone I want to be in the future. Yung mayaman na cheerful giver. Cheerful lang ako ngayon eh. Pero looking forward ako don sa pagiging mayaman. Kidding aside, I miss our small talks before and after services. Yung mga pagdalaw dalaw ko sa house nyo. I’ve seen your journey pagdating sa negosyo, and I really admire that. Yung mga kwentong God moves while you are looking for business partners. We also pray for that kind of intervention and you are our testimony. Salamat for being a good Spiritual Dad. Kahit hindi October, alam nyo naman that we appreciate you in every aspect. Salamat sa small talks sa pagbubusiness, salamat sa guidance. We know we are on the right track kasi andyan kayo. We pray for your good health including your family. We also pray that your business always strive on every season, mabunga man or taglagas, your well would never go empty because you always allow others to scoop water on it. May the Lord bless you and make your well more deep para mas marami po kayong mabless at matulungan. Siguro karamihan kilala kayo as pastor/businessman, but I’m so glad and honored to see you as my Kuya and Tatay na andyan para tumulong sa homeworks pag kinakailangan. Salamat Dad. We love you and we miss you. Hope to see you again soon.

~ Gab Concepcion

First of all, I want to thank you and Ate Christie for trusting me, specially po nung pinatira nyo ako sa bahay nyo when I started my journey sa Alabang, kahit na hindi nyo pa ako masyado kakilala but you still welcomed me. I know hindi po lahat ng tao is kayang gawin yung bagay na yun. Thank you din po for trusting and giving me the opportunity to work in your company. Thank you din po for giving me life and work advices. Thank you for disciplining me like your own child. I never felt that I'm not part of your family. Thank you for being generous in all things. You have been a big part sa journey ko kay Lord, you and Ate Christie guided me on who I am today. Sobrang naamaze po ako sa passion ninyo ni Ate Christie to do what the Lord has called you to do. Pati na din po yung heart nyo for the people. Sobrang nagpapasalamat po ako kay Lord sa buhay ninyo ni Ate Christie. I'm also amaze kung paano nyo po i- shepered yung nga binigay ni Lord sa inyo. Thank you din po sa help ninyo to my recent wedding sobrang big help po to lend your car para makasama po ang aking family and also to your blessings sa amin. I can't thank you enough for all of these. I declare good health and long life po sa family ninyo. Declaring more blessings, provision and favor po sa life po ninyo. Keep safe po and Salamat po ulit Kuya Tobs and Ate Christie!! ??We love you po!! ?

Christie Lijauco

Pastor


Salamat sa Panginoon na ikaw ay nagpagamit, na siyang maging tulay ng walang kapantay na pag-ibig.
Ang iyong gabay at aral ang siyang magpapalawig sa mga kabutihan ng Diyos na walang hihigit.
Karangalan ay sa akin na maging isang tupa na iyong ipapastol kapag naliligaw na.
Walang kapantay at kapalit liwanag mong binibigay sa isip kong naguguluhan at laging nagpa-fly.
Tunay na ikaw ay kamangha-mangha pagkat kadakilaan ng Diyos ay laging pinpamalita, lahat ng makakarinig ay sadyang pinagpapala kaya naman ang buhay ko ay hindi na tulala.
Tuwa at galak ang aking nadarama na akoy iyong niyakap ng walang pagdududa. Salamat Ate Christie ng bonggang bonga
Pagkat sa aking paglalakbay ikaw at si Lord ang kasama.

~ Doreen Lipio

Thank God sa Buhay mo madadagdagan ang mga pupunta sa Langit. My life is riches because of you, I've learned so much from you by your example like how to be there for someone, when there are problems to solve , you reach out to help. Your good judgment translates into knowing how much or how little to offer, What to say and do , And when to back off to allow for someone's privacy. I respect you , I care for you & I've learned so much from you .Thank you for touching my life with your amazing soul.

~ Tere Castro

A treasured bosom buddy, sis and mum,
To chaos and challenges, u're prayerful and calm, 
Like a cool gentle breeze in the midday sun,

When u flutter ur wings, we bloom, u inspire,
This u may know, there's more to who u are,
You're God's gift, to family and nations, truly grateful we are.

Ronnie Beloy

Pastor


We might not be able to see each other often, but let me say that we cherish and love every time we gather as mentor, ninong, brother, and friend. I really like personally going to your house dahil siguradong may pagkain at di ako magugutom. Which might sound funny to everyone but a deep meaning is carried on it. You are a good provider, a good disciple and one of the best leaders we met. Salamat sa malulupit na powerpoint presentation na nagging batayan na din namin sa paggawa. Thank you for sharing your excellence in different aspects. And thank you also for being a good listener whenever needed. Ang saya lang isipin na for the past 20 years of my life, you’ve been a great part of it. More or less, you had affected what I am today in the best possible way. Hope someday, we could still travel together in beaches, watch again concerts, do the community services, and anything in between because for sure, memories will be made (and foods will be served ?).Great things are ahead of you, Kuya. We pray the best things for your life. May your life affect more lives to change, know Jesus, and always be a vessel of fulfillment to those around you. This month and the coming days to come, we pray that you experience God more intimate and tangible. That you will remember this time of hardship, God never fails to move in your life. We love you Kuya Ronnie. We miss you and we hope to visit you before the year ends!

Pastor Sam definitely has a unique way of delivering the Word with depth but also in fresh and engaging ways. He’s also one of coolest dads that I know in our church and it’s very evident with the way he interacts with his kids. Lastly, Kuya Sam is probably the “foodie-est” pastor I know. ?

Thank you Ate Gie for being a great inspiration and passionate Head Pastor of the Kids Ministry.

Being a stay home mom with 3 kids and weekly kids church, "how does she do it?" (Ah umi-english ako te, pasok ba yung grammar? ?)

Christina Crisanto

Associate Pastor


10 years ago, I met Jesus Christ because of this amazing woman and my life has never been the same way again. I'm so grateful that she appointed me in a task for a life party, from then she became my spiritual mom and I'm so blessed. She’s one of the great leaders of SOD in all time, she brought us closer to God and most of us became strong young professional. She'll guide you to grow spiritually and gives you motherly encouragement when you're in doubt. You'll gonna love her in so many ways. Aside from being so creative aspiring Interior Designer, fashionable Korean look, she can cook and bake too. She's now mentoring and handling a group of women to empower from different sectors. A perfect role model of woman. I hope that you'll persevere to inspire God's people life by preaching his words. You're such a wonderful masterpiece of our King, Pastora Tinay.

~ Jessica Albano

PS. “Mag-jowa ka na, utang na loob. “ ?

Always and forevs,

In one word, you are generous. You are generous with your time, your knowledge, your little gifts, but most of all, your love. Ate Tinay, thank you for leading us graciously and loving us unconditionally. Your life is truly a light, and to know you is a blessing. We are forever grateful, we love you!
