Napansin ko wala masyadong halloween decors this year sa townhouse namin and sa ibang villages.

Mukhang nahinto na talaga ang mga ghost projects!!!

It was such a joy to be part of this year’s Business as Mission event.

What an incredible sight to see Christians in the workplace from
Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, USA, Australia and the Philiplines coming together, reminding one another that our main business is not just profit or performance, but the building of God’s Kingdom through the work of our hands.

I had the privilege of sharing a message close to my heart: “Built to Last: Passing God’s Business Purpose to the Next Generation.”

It’s a theme that matters deeply to me as we continue to raise leaders and entrepreneurs who will steward influence for God’s glory.

One of the highlights of the day was having my dad as my guest. For many years, he’s invested in us so we could become who we are today. I honor him for his love for our family and his unwavering desire to see us flourish.

Thank you, BAM Philippines, for gathering such kingdom-minded leaders who desire to make an eternal impact through business. May we continue to build enterprises that reflect God’s heart and advance His Kingdom on earth.

Building a Deep Bench of the Next Generation

The journey of planting a campus-reaching church has been both challenging and deeply rewarding.

Over the past months, we’ve been intentional about one thing: raising a new generation of leaders. We’ve asked our faithful serve teams married and single alike—to not just serve, but to develop a pipeline of next-generation leaders who can continue the work long after us.

And it’s starting to happen.

In our Kids Ministry, our young ones are now learning to host, perform skits, and even play instruments.

(In the photo: one of our drummers teaching a child how to play the drums—imagine a full kids band leading worship in the future!)

In another corner of our church, a film director and producer is teaching a group of young people how to shoot and edit videos.

Imagine if every skilled and passionate person in the church took the time to train and disciple the next generation—those with energy, creativity, and time to give. The result would be a deep bench of leaders and a thriving church ready for expansion

This is what 2 Timothy 2:2 says:

“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”

That’s discipleship.
That’s legacy.
That’s how the Kingdom of God expands—from one generation to the next.

“If you lead from the wrong place, you’ll eventually crash,” he said. “But when you lead from identity and purpose, the fruit will follow.”

For Dennis Sy, Senior Pastor of Victory Makati, leadership hasn’t always been about balance and clarity. In fact, one of his most important breakthroughs came after a season of burnout. Early in his ministry career, Sy was given a massive responsibility: planting and leading Victory Greenhills at

100 books signed. ✍🏼
Design Your Life is slowly turning from a framework into a movement—and I’m in awe of what God is doing.

This week, someone messaged me saying they started a book club using Design Your Life! 🥹
When God moves, He multiplies.

From one story, one reader, one life—He designs ripples that inspire others to do the same.
As Seth Godin said, “Ideas that spread, win.”

SET THE GENERATIONS UP FOR SUCCESS

The goal of the church is not just to gather people and preach to them, but to set the next generation up for success spiritually, academically, and in life.

Through our partnership with Real LIFE Foundation, we celebrate one of our scholars, Daniela Niegos, who graduated Magna Cum Laude in Biology!

Daniela is now setting her eyes on becoming a medical doctor, ready to serve others and glorify God through her profession.

We are deeply grateful for our church family who journeyed with her especially our Real LIFE coordinators Onie Gonzales and Jennifer Del Ayre for mentoring, encouraging, and walking alongside her every step of the way.

And to our Real LIFE donors and partners, thank you. Your generosity is transforming lives and raising future leaders who will make a difference for Christ in every sphere of society.

Let’s continue to make disciples, develop leaders, and change the world one scholar, one life, one generation at a time.

FOUR THINGS I WISH FOR MY BIRTHDAY

As I celebrate another year of life, I pause to reflect on the things that truly matter, the ones that outlast the candles, the celebrations, and the years.

1. That my marriage and family remain strong in the Lord and with each other.

My family means the world to me. I pray that I will continue to love and lead them well until my last breath.
My wife is my passion and my greatest gift, my partner, my confidante, my constant. We’ve chosen to live and love for each other, anchored in the covenant we made before God: “till death do us part.”

2. That generations of Christian men and women will be raised and discipled through the ministry God has entrusted to us, beginning with my own children.

I pray that my life will always declare that Christ is worth following, and that surrendering everything for Him is never a loss, but gain.

May our lives as a family be seeds that grow into generations who love God deeply and live for His purposes.

3. That I might finish strong.

Recently, I heard a message that said only 30% of leaders finish well and it gripped my heart.

So I prayed this morning: Lord, keep me humble, thankful, and grounded in You.

May I never lose sight of the grace that called me, the mission You gave me, and the people You’ve entrusted to my care.

4. That deep friendships will continue to form in my life.

I’ve learned that we’re not meant to walk alone.

We all need friends for life — people who stay in both the highs and the lows, who call us higher, and who help us become more like Christ.

These covenant friendships have been life-changing, and I pray that as I grow older, I’ll keep growing with friends who sharpen, strengthen, and speak life into my soul.

More than anything, I’m grateful for the God who has been faithful through every season — and I look forward to walking with Him through the next.

Journey in planting a Campus Reaching Church

In our church, we live with this conviction: the next generation has a seat, a share, and a say at the leadership table.

We don’t just want young people to attend. We want them to lead, serve, and grow. The church must become a leadership greenhouse where young people can develop as servants, preachers, worship leaders, and ministry heads, while being guided by a generation that has gone before them.

What thrilled me most this week was seeing our young people step up —leading worship, serving in Kids Church, and exhorting with boldness and faith. But equally moving was seeing our Generation One “the older generation” cheering them on, coaching them through worship auditions, and discipling them behind the scenes.

This is what discipling generations looks like:

the young rising with vision,
the old guiding with wisdom,
and both generations walking together to advance God’s kingdom.

Indeed, the future is bright when every generation runs together.

I first met Alec Cuenca during the pandemic when he was just starting out as a podcast host. Fast forward three years—he’s now one of the top podcasters and content creators in the Philippines, with millions of followers tuning in to his voice.

What’s rare about Alec isn’t just the numbers—it’s his perseverance and faithfulness in pursuing what God has called him to do. He continues to sharpen his craft, grow his business, and inspire a generation through meaningful conversations.

That’s why this interview meant so much to me. We dove deep into my book Design Your Life—but more than that, we talked about what it truly means to build a flourishing life.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Alec on the Small Talk Podcast, I share how one mindset shift can completely change the direction of your life.
