LANCE, FOURTH PASTOR FOR TWO GENERATIONS

There is now great rejoicing in our family. Out of the blue, our youngest son Lance got the call from God to be a Pastor. He was ordained last May 16, 2009 at Unida Christian Center.

He is an Electronics Communications Engineer, graduated with honors from Mapua Institute of Technology, a manager with Eastern Telecommunications and for the longest time has been saying he will not be a pastor. But God works in mysterious ways.

His style is that of his grandfather Obispo Genio, not mine. But I take credit for the fact that he does research and writes his own materials, not copying nor adapting from others, thank God.

He and wife Nikki got their test of faith early. Last October 2007, their youngest son Eli was born a blue baby, one with inverted heart arteries and had to be operated on at Philippine Heart Center when only a week old.

Lance and Nikki passed the test of faith and Eli is now a precocious lad who laid both his hands on the back of his father and uttered Amen on the day that he was ordained.
