One thing we can say about Pastor Paul: a great Kuya who seized the moment. Him being my Kuya always brings out the greatness in us.

Appreciating you kuya/dad Paul for your ever gentleness and wisdom in uniting a ragtag of people with different personalities and ideas.  You always have a way coming up with a mutual concession that everyone agrees.  Your recent brush with Covid also showed an aspect of you about true compassion that is worth to emulate. Happy to be under your leadership, Kuya!

Blessings of all that is awesome and favored. Passion, Amazement, Unveiling and Lavish love be always your daily encounter with God. Thank you for being a friend, mentor, confidante and father to us. We are here for you as your intercessors & children. We love you and ready to serve and be there for you. Overflowing kindness be part of your life.

Labis po akong nagpapasalamat sa Diyos at isa kayo sa ginamit Niya para maging gabay ko sa pagbabagong buhay . Nawa’y marami pa kayong mga taong matulungan para maranasan din nila ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos na baguhin ang isang tao na tulad ko. Labis po akong nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat

Thank you for modeling humility and hunger for God's presence. You always inspire me to go deeper in His presence and seek His face. I love you dad!

I was orphaned at 9 but I was blessed with many fathers. You were one of those and you still are. I am grateful to God that our threads cross paths in this wonderful tapestry whose artist is God. I thank God for the strength, leadership and counsel that you have provided  at times when I need them. Apart from the love that I felt, one thing that I am most grateful for is your trust. Some things cannot be explained but only felt. Thanks kuya.

I honor your heart for God and for His people. Thank you for being an amazing servant leader and example to our generation. I speak exponential increase in all aspects of your life. May you always be healthy and safe.

Thank you for your Love and Care to me personally. You are a gift to us and to the Body of Christ. We love you and your family! More of His mighty exploits in your life for the next years.

Pastor Paul thank you for showing me what passionate pursuit of His presence looks like. My life is never the same because of this. I pray that God will surprise you with many more breakthroughs as you continue to raise up this generation to the level of calling and commitment you fervently display.

Ptr. Paul and Ptra Ahl I thank God for your lives for your leadership and guidance. In my heart I am immensely grateful that you are our Pastor. You showed us what a servant leader looks like.Your words of wisdom and unwavering faith inspires me. You are a great Pastors and leaders of DMI family.

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!

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.

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

You are one of kind. Artistic, pranka at super generous. Minsan di kita naiinitindihan but i trust you because alam ko you fear God so much and you always want to honor Him. Thank you for modelling me about life, family. Dami mo wisdom kse ang lakas mo kay Lord. Thank you for the prayers too. Di ka mahirap lapitan. Tanda mo nung college sabi ko sa yo gusto ko maging close sa yo, di yun nangyari that time, im glad i was able to catch up later in life. Pinag krus pa rin landas natin.

You are considered mommy of DMI family, a woman of God. We are so thankful for you. She is a mother, a friend, an intercesor, and a passionate leader. Thank you for shining your light to all of us. We love you.

Always

Hopeful

Loving

Model

Inspiring much

Realistically down to earth

Amazing thinker

Your lifestyle is inspiring reminder to us to lovingly excel in our shepherding others as well. Pastor’s wife is surely no joke, besides being Pastor ourselves. Declaring graciousness in all our relationships with the flock entrusted to us. Love you.

Hi Ate Ahl, what I appreciate about you as our lead pastor are the following  You are authentic, fashionable, loving, generous, favored, organized, visionary, a woman of wisdom, you put excellence in everything you do, you know how to handle money very well.  Thank you for those simple talks that we had even nung bata pa ako .   I learned a lot from you even from afar, you are one of my role models. Thank you very much for leading us.  We love and honor you!

Mommy Ahl is a very generous and loving leader. She serves with all her heart, first to God then to His people (esp the nations). I love it when she shares during personal dates or whenever she preaches because she is full of wisdom. Each word will surely pierce every heart and will be transformed.

Ps. Paul & Ps.Ahl, isa sa talagang natanim sa puso at isip ko ay ang inyong walang sawang pag lilingkod saating Diyos Ama. Ang mga sakripisyo na inyongginawa para sa ating ministeryo. Lagi nyo ngangsinasabi puso puso lang yan. Ito ang lagi kongtinatandaan pagdating sa paglilingkod sa Diyos. Huggggssss po!

Thank you for your tenacious spirit, always contending for dmi family, literally and spiritually. Thank you for modelling excellence in serving the Lord with style. This photo means a lot to me as this was taken during your last visit in Cambodia and at the same time your first sight of our 'little' Sam. Thank you for the love. We miss you

Thank you for modelling us how it is to be a servant leader. You’ve shown to us, countless times that the best way to serve God’s people is to bring them to His presence, to a place of intimacy. You did not tell us that battles and breakthroughs are won in our knees; you showed it to us. Thank you for teaching us vulnerability…for allowing us to share our deepest thoughts and desires… Thank you for loving us. Indeed, you are a leader worth following… We will journey with you, pray and support you in reaching 100 nations and beyond…for God's greater glory! We love you! Happy Pastor's appreciation month po!

Mother Ahl and Pastor Paul simply takes care of you – with no limits, no bounds, no if’s; their love is the epitome of unconditional love. They have taught me and the others; never by mindlessly lecturing and listing of what you should be, but by living as the example you should follow. You’ll only realize later --that the pure love they give to others, is what you aspire to give, as well. Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. I have learned to serve the Destiny Family through the same love you have given me. You have taught me that love is not something that should be unconditional but love simply is unconditional and borderless. Just as how He loves us.

Ps, Mommy Alh. Thank you for bearing the cross, mothering the men & women of Destiny & the nations. Thank you for all the love and sacrifices. Love you & honor you po.

Thank you for the love, stories and laughter shared with you. From UPLB days to SG. I appreciate you for the kind of leader/ate that you are to me. We miss you here in SG and hope to see you very soon.

Thank you for all the advice you gave me from UP time up until now that I have my own family. I wont forget the time you told me to embrace my season of motherhood when I felt that, because of having kids, it had hindered my time with God and ministry. I felt released and empowered after your prayer. From then, I had a new perspective of serving God. And I always grab the opportunity to be available pa din in my own way. Thanks Ate, I appreciate you as my pastor, my friend, my ate.

I forever honestly love:

your Appetite and passion for pastries and paintings

your Hair inked with purple

your Laugh like Krissy 

your Mothering heart who disciplines much because you love much

your Ignited fire and love for the nations

your Relentless love for Destiny and your family and your Abiding love for God

Eternal Love and Care,

"Though I’m older by few years, you deserve the title my “Mother”. In wisdom and maturity in faith, you are way ahead. Thank you for the chikas til d wee hours and lengthy video calls which serve as extra battery life in times I needed recharging. You are a mother and friend rolled into one.  Thank you for showing me how to Mother the Nations! Labyu

To the woman like no other, such a beautiful soul, sobra sobrang pasasalamat pa din po sa pagtanggap nyo sa amin to be part of DMI family. Its been 6 blessed and fruitful years. Thank you for making us feel comfortable by simply smiling at us and by waving your hand. BEAUTY- You are the epitome of that one single word. You've touched all of our lives with beauty... I love and honor you so much po.

I appreciate your life Ate. Your walk with God is a model to me since I was a baby Christian wag na lang banggitin yung year daw hehehe. Your pursuit of Him in your life is so genuine and pure that it is very reassuring for us and  we are confident that it is God-led. Keep moving forward ate and know that we are following your lead.

I want to take a moment to recognize your leadership within the church. You are great at keeping everything organized and delegating tasks that are better done by others. Thank you for keeping us on track with God’s mission for our church. The love you have for your family is equally important like the love you have for the church. Your personal health influences the health of the church. Take care of yourself. Thanks for you all you do! You are the best pastor ever.

We are forever  grateful to God for bringing us  into this family and for giving us shepherds after His own heart. Thank you Pastor Paul & Ptra Ahl for all that you do in leading this family. We are so blessed by your lives. We love you and deeply appreciate you.

You are the coolest and prettiest spiritual mom I've known. I will be forever grateful to the Lord for having you. Thank you for setting an example and leading our generation. I appreciate you so much. Love lots.

Hi Mom Ahl, we thank you for all the love and sacrifices you generously give to all of us. Thank you for the wisdom and direction you give each time we meet. I know its not easy to be the Senior Pastor and it takes a lot of acceptance, sacrifices and tears just to love a single soul. That's why we are so proud of you for not giving. Remember that many of us love you and we are here whenever you need us. Happy Pastor's Month!

“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

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!

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 ♥️

2nd LG ko mag join daw yung pastor! Luh! Baka may recitation!
Didnt strike me at 1st ikaw yun (sorry youre like 1 of the guys) but when you spoke, wala ng duda.
Calm, gentle, measured tone with a lot of wisdom. As "1 of the guys", its easy to approach, relate, & pour out to you. You walk, grow, experience our journey with us. Thanks Sir Les! Paglaki ko gagayahin kita!

I see Kuya Lester as a person who has always been passionate to teach and influence people.
I appreciate the heart and dedication he gave sa mga ginagawa nya. Ang dami dami matutunan everytime he talks, preach or share. His commitment and relationship to people is just so amazing. Super love ko si Kuya kasi ang gaan gaan nya kasama sa mga moments na kulitan lng -- ohhh, I missed those laughters while they were still here at Singapore. Game cia kahit anong trip ng grupo – Kumain at magkwentuhan, manood ng sine at even umakyat sa bundok. He is just so people person.
I deeply honour him as our Pastor. I pray and declare that God will continue to give him strength, wisdom, provision, good health and even deeper Encounters to fulfill all the purpose God had given him.

I hope you will be excited sa aking liham. Una po sa lahat gusto kong sabihin na we are blessed to have you as our Pastor. I am forever grateful to have a pastor na napaka-cool at gaan kasama. Salamat sa pagsama mo sa aming mga adventure ng mga men. Nakapagbigay po sa amin ng refreshement ang ganung mga activities. Sana maulit natin ulit kapag nasolutionan na ang Covid. Pangalawa, magpapasalamat ako sa pag-Father nyo sa aming lahat sa Destiny Sg. I remember kayo po ang unang leader na nagtangol sa akin sa isang event. During that time na-earn nyo po yung respeto ko to correct us with love and in the right place na alam nyo na safe ang feelings namin. Simula nun mas naging comfortable ako umattend sa church hindi lang dahil kay Jesus at kay Kim. Dahil nagkaroon ako ng masasabi ko na tagapagtangol na gaya mo. Salamat rin po sa Pre-Marriage at Marriage course na shinare nyo ni ate Jane. Hindi po perfect ang relasyon namin ni Kim. Pero blessed po kami sa mga life testimony at time na ibinigay nyo sa amin. Lastly, I can see you as patience, kind hearted and not easily anger Man of God. You shared a lot of verses and quotes about excellence. And until now binabasa ko po yung gift nyo ni ate Jane sakin title "Called to Excel". I pray that you will inspire more people around you kuya Lester. We miss you and love you. Pagpapala po sa inyo at sa inyong pamilya.

I admire you for your tenacity and persistence. Thank you for choosing to look at the ‘good’ in people and not giving up on me. Multiple blessings and favor be on your way always! I honor you!

THANK YOU… for the love & care you genuinely pour out to us..for taking the time na kamustahin kami & our family..for loving us for who we are..for patiently journeying with us in this life. We appreciate all that you do & sacrifice for us. We honor you not just today but everyday. May God bless your family tremendously. We love you dearly

Thank you for all the love, care and prayers that you pour out on us here in Destiny SG and even to my own family. I appreciate all your thoughts and messages. The past 2 years have been difficult but hearing all your encouragements and prayers allows me to surpass the different seasons of my life. You are a blessing to everyone around you, Ate. I thank God for your life. I love you.

Pastor Ariel, I am grateful to you for being a voice of the Father's love in my life. You have encouraged me to be a loving father to my children and a loving husband to my wife. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing the love of the Lord with me, di ko malilimutan yung bonding natin sa Mt. Makiling, depress ako nung araw then you shared the light of hope with me; hindi pastor yung kailangan ko nung araw na yon - kundi isang kapatid na karamay at amang gagabay, at yon ka ng araw na yon Kuya Ariel. Salamat po, and may our Lord continue to bring you and your family a long life, divine health, and protection, so you can continue walking in His Awesome Plan 

Pinili ko po ang picture na ito dahil dito niyo pinaramdam na pamilya po kami. Niyakap nyo po kami,sinamahan at higit sa lahat hindi iniwan. Salamat po sa lahat. Were so blessed po sa heart nyo para saming lahat. Marami man ibato ang mundo sa inyo, Dalangin po namin na manatili ang inyong mga ngiting nagbibigay pag-asa sa amin. We love you!

I’ve seen and heard so many things you have done for us, and we are grateful because you always have a willing heart and a helping hand to offer.Thankful po ako na naging part po kayo ng journey ko and ng life ko.We honor your heart for the people and for the Lord. We love you and we pray that you continue to enjoy the good things in life as God will meet your needs. Surely, you will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

I'm really blessed to be given the chance to tag along with Pastor Verge through our online platforms during this pandemic, like in SLC and in Agenda One global gatherings. I've witnessed how Pastor Verge is really a GIFT to us, DMI family, and to our Kingdom partners locally and all over the world.

Destiny Los Banos is blessed to have a Pastor in the person of Verge Ascabano. As a leader, he is thinking of ways to bring the Church to a new level. He is willing to enter new territories or try new things, to be a blessing to the community. He has gained maturity through years of taking his role seriously. Inspite of that, you will have a taste of his humor, coming from out of the blue . Verge, could have taken a career somewhere else, but he chose to do Ministry. A testament to his willingness to sacrifice personal endeavor to a higher call. Being a talented person, he is continuously developing his skills and most recently gained popularity as an online program hosts. It's his way of expressing creativity and flexibility in order to be of value to others.

Father,

We appreciate you and your leadership, especially in this time of pandemic when nothing is certain. Your vision and your faithfulness in your calling hold people together. You help keep us one and closer to Him. We love you.

Dear Kuya Val and ate Barbs,

We know that being the pastor has got to be one of the hardest jobs in the world. We salute you! You have done the magnificent work to this church and we are so grateful for your humble service and endurance.Your kindness and love had reached our hearts and indeed we are so blessed to have you as our leaders, friends and even parents. Knowing you and Destiny had enlightened us and we have known God the most. You are comforting and loving. Thank you for being available when we needed a family especially to Caleb. We know that God used your faithfulness to encourage us to grow in our faith. You are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Pastors. We love you!

Love,

To kuya Val mommy barbs and ate cati po Thank you for being there for us po especially in spiritual growth and support from the start, to my proposal and now we have caleb salamat po sa prayers and all. God bless you more po and continue to live this identity for all and for others who will be part of your life as it was a great impact on us.

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. 

Blessings, 

Dear Team Celeste,

You are a wonderful couple sent by God to disciple couples. Our stay here in Cambodia would not be the same without you. You have been a great part of God's plan for our life in this nation. We appreciate the time you spend with us despite your busy schedule. Thank you for always welcoming us in your home, prepared or unprepared
Thank you for all your sacrifices. We love you and we honor you. God bless your family. Happy Pastors Month!!!

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

To our dear Pastor Val, Greeting and blessing in the name of our dear Lord Jesus! Pastor, I am really honored and blessed to have you as our pastor and leader. You have been so humbled and endure all the hardship in taking care of us in this flock. Indeed all your deeds help me to grow up a lot! God bless you po! With much live of Christ! Shalom! 

Dearest Mommy Cathy,

We miss you a lot! Thank you for all that you have done for us. Thank you for sharing your life with us, making us your own children. We treasure every moment with you. We’re looking forward to that time that Fave will be able to play with you, mask-free. She will surely love you as much as we do. Wag masyado magpagod, di na po tayo pabata.

Hi Mommy Cathy,

I remember the year 2014. My season was in haywire and I looked for a physical sanctuary where I can be free to take in what was supposed to be a difficult season. And you were there. You did not shoo me away and instead loved me the way I can be loved. I will forever be thankful for the meaningful bond I have with you. Thank you, Mommy Cathy, for loving me like your own. I miss you always.
