“But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you." (Acts 26:16)
God was working in our life long before we began working with Him. The Lord knew us before time began, and He knew what He wanted to do with your life (Jer 1:5; Ps. 139:13). Before the apostle Paul’s conversion experience on the road to Damascus, Jesus already knew Paul and had a specific assignment for him; but, Jesus only revealed this assignment after Paul’s conversion (Acts 9:15). Although God knew what He wanted for Paul, He waited to reveal it to him until He gained his attention and became his Lord. Our Lord does not come to us to discover what he would like to accomplish for Him. He encounters us in order to reveal to us His activity and invite us to become involved in His work. An encounter with God requires us to adjust ourselves to the activity of God that has been revealed. God never communicates with us merely to give us a warm devotional thought for that day. He never speaks to us simply to increase our biblical knowledge. Our Lord has far more significant things to reveal to us than that! He invites us to join Him in the work He is doing.
We all encountered God, one way or the other and after such encounter He has revealed to us a mission.
In PSUPT Jun Borromeo’s case, after his encounter with God at the most trying times of his life, it was to open up ministry opportunity wherever he went. He discipled a small group in San Fernando where he was incarcerated. He opened up his home and business in Isabela as place of worship. He used his contacts in Dagupan and Isabela to set-up ministry opportunity to the police and last September 5, 2011, he opened up his own office at the PNP Headquarter Support Service (HSS) to be ministered.
A group of 30 PCO’s and PNCO’s attended the first Bible study devotion at the PNP-HSS Conference Room where PSUPT Jun Borromeo shared hislife changing testimony, Elder Mike Aspirin shared the Word of God and PSSUPT Cesar Binag led his fellow policemen into a prayer of acceptance.
Later in the day, he helped volunteers of the CORPS Movement Foundation to reach out to the PNP custodial service wherein high-profile crime suspects and state witnesses are being held. He even shared his new-found faith to his fellow Rotarians in Caloocan the same night.
All of this ministry serves as a living testimony of a mighty encounter with God.
