Ellen, Philippines

My name is Zai Calumag, and I have been a disciple for 15 years. I practically grew up in the church and witnessed God's miracles. I'd like to introduce you to one of the strongest women I know and one of God's miracle-bearers - my mother. Her name is Ellen, she is 67 years old, and she has been a disciple for 28 years. Initially, she joined the church through my father. She has been part of the Southland Sector in the Philippines and became a Bible talk leader 2 years after her baptism.  As children, we grew up witnessing and experiencing God through the church. We saw how our parents transformed and helped other lives transform as well. My mom has been active in serving ministries as far as we can remember. She is tireless when it comes to studying the Bible, encouraging weak sisters.

Early this year, my mom was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Stage 4. She has undergone 3 sessions of chemo and has 5 more to go. Her body, though weak now, her body is responding well to her medications and her spirit is willing to fight. However, we are still a long way down with her medication and chemotherapy. We believe that God's provision is never lacking and all we have to do in this time of need is to humbly ask and believe that help will come. With humility, we are turning to the generous donors of ETF. With your additional support, it will help my mom recover the soonest and enjoy an extended life to be used for God's plans.
