Going to General Santos City, I posted in my FB that I'm going to the home of world class Pinoys.Obviously its the world's number one boxer Hon. Manny Pacquiao and the 4th most beautiful woman in the universe Shamcey Supsup.
Here in Gen Santos, I met another world class Pinoy in the person of the couple Rodrigo and Dolores Rivera. Mrs. Dolly Rivera started the Christian Ladies Prayer Movement 16 years ago and put up a beautiful prayer mountain with a large cross and chapel that overlooks Sarangani Bay. I led the groundbreaking ceremony for the Gethsemane Prayer Tower that will be built soon.
Over lunch I spent 3 hours conversing with GM Rivera, on his business. He started his fishing business in 1981, which has now become the largest in the Philippines.From the start he infused Christian ministry as part of the business by assigning a pastor to be chaplain of every fishing boat for daily bible study and values formation among the fishing crew. At the beginning the crew rejected, but GM Rivera gave them the choice either to have the pastor or close the fishing business.
Now they have 100 Pastors as full time workers as part of their operation which integrates high sea fishing, cannery and shipyard. They have 12,500 employees who all receive benefits higher than industry standard.
When you honor the Lord, the Lord will honor you more!
