My name is Daniel. Gwen and I got married in 1996. In 1998, a marriage conference we attended became a turning point for me. As a Christian, I love the Lord, yet my understanding of marriage was limited to loving and caring for my wife. During the conference, a speaker candidly shared his personal battles, including pornography, infidelity, and domineering behavior towards his wife. His transparency before the large congregation struck a chord with me, and I felt a strong conviction from the Holy Spirit. I had never witnessed such openness from a preacher in public. After the conference, I felt compelled to leave immediately. I’m driving home, I experienced a profound encounter with the Holy Spirit that softened my heart. I realized the need to confess my wrongdoings to Gwen, including verbal abuse, addiction to pornography, lust, past transgressions, dominance in our relationship, anger, and poor financial control. Our frequent arguments stemmed from my inability to manage my anger and frustrations. Despite my love for her, I struggled to navigate our issues. In a moment of vulnerability, I confessed my actions to Gwen, which brought me to tears for hours. I knelt before her, held her hands, overwhelmed with feelings of dirtiness, guilt, remorse, sadness, and a heavy heart. After I asked for forgiveness, I found peace, freedom, and a sense of purification. My prayer and confession helped me comprehend the essence of James 5:16. Subsequently, the conference offered follow-up visits for interested couples, providing one-on-one mentorship and discipleship. The leader assigned to us dedicated 14 months to guide us through biblical teachings on marriage. I was leading a small group at the time and informed them that I would be stepping down temporarily without disclosing the reason. It was a period when we needed mentoring and discipleship, which lasted 14 months. After the Lord healed and restored our marriage, we prayed and sought His guidance for our next steps. The Lord instilled in us a compassion to support other married couples. Our parents were the first participants in the marriage class. We sat with them, shared, and explained what the Bible says about marriage. Later, we returned to the Philippines and shared these biblical principles of marriage with Gwen’s parents. We used the Manual to mentor and disciple our parents, our friends and their acquaintances who also found victory through discipleship. We also used to equip our previous congregation, other churches, and their leaders through a cell group model. The Lord gave me scriptures: The account of the ten lepers, where only one returned to thank Jesus while the other nine did not, is found in Luke 17. I began to perceive struggling marriages and hurting families in the spirit. We inquired of the Lord about how to reach out to them. The Holy Spirit led me to John 15:16; You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit
