On September 18, 2008, Mike and Valerie spoke in Nabunteran to over 200 young people and government employees on the topic of waiting to get married to live as a husband and wife live. Why is this important? Because God demands it and true love waits. Idylyn Casayas, one of the NEOS staff members, shared her testimony on the importance of waiting and how she and her husband were able to wait.
The musical Boado munchkins sang a fun Disney song and then Idylyn and Esther sang the song, "I Promise," by Jaci Velasquez.
At the end of the day after all of the many questions had
been asked, a young man shared a short testimony. He said, "I have been to 5 other True Love Waits seminars before this one. But, this is the first one where I was truly able to grasp and understand what was being shared. This seminar was different because specific examples were given and it was based on God's Word."
God is working in the lives of people through the NEOS ministry. To God be the Glory.

Glad to see Mike spreading the Word of God. I was one of Mike's first year high school student when he taught Religion in Paco Catholic School,Manila back in 1983. He was still a seminarian from Baguio at that time , wanting to become a priest (I think = ) ). He probably won't remember me even if I mentioned my name because I was one of the quiet ones in his class. I didn't have much to say because I did not read the lesson from the book (I was lazy when it comes to reading.) He'll probably remember my classmate Carlos Luz who was a Hitler fan. He spends a lot of time standing up and discussing the lesson with Mike while we duck our heads at the back of the classroom. Anyway, just remembered his name after seeing an old class picture posted in Facebook and wondered if he ever became a priest. Well I guess he still is but in a different way. I too thought of being one but ended up choosing a different vocation... now i have my own family with 3 boys. Keep up your great work for God. May He continue to bless you, your family and your ministry. ==== Fred Seril--- my middle name is Lardizabal, my mom is from Tuding, Itogon, Benguet (few minutes from Baguio). Mike may still be familiar with the names of the towns around the city.
