TESTIMONY OF MAE CHELYN ALBERCA WHO WAS RAISED IN THE ORPHANAGE UNDER THE MINISTRY OF NEWLIFE BAPTIST CHURCH PAMPANGGA
"I am Mae Chelyn Alberca. I have been living at New Life Baptist Church for six years now, under the leadership of Pastor Jeremy Ferguson. I am the first to graduate from college at DABSU as a Magna Cum Laude.
I am thankful to God for the people He used to guide and care for us. Pastor and the church guided us and provided for our needs, not only physically but also spiritually. They treated us like their own children.
I am saddened by what happened. And if there is any anomaly, if it involves any form of abuse or is against the law, may it be judged accordingly and lawfully.
I lived there and I learned many things that I can apply in my life — in whatever path I may take, and even in improving the abilities that I have. I am happy that I met them, because maybe if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here in front of you today to give thanks — to them, and above all, to God.
They became a light to us. They gave guidance as our second parents. Even though we are not related by blood, they treated us as their own children.
In the six years I stayed there, not once was I abused. I am living proof that I learned a lot in life while under their care, and those lessons I can apply to my life.
I am not happy about what happened, but if it is God’s will, then we just lift it up in prayer. I am a witness that I was not abused — instead, they helped me succeed."
