Wherever God leads, your purpose goes with you.
When I left the Philippines, I thought I was leaving behind everything I had built—the pulpit and the church family where I fully lived out my calling.
Canada was unfamiliar. Ministry looked different.
From being a Pastor and church planter… To becoming a factory worker. A Copy & Print Lead. A Customer Service Associate. An Inventory Control Specialist. Now, I am a caregiver for seniors in their most vulnerable moments — palliative care.
All have been instruments of God training me.
And Yet… This Became My Reality.
Back in the Philippines, I used to tell our leaders and members:
“I don’t own the pulpit.”
“Anyone can be called to preach.”
“We all carry the pulpit — and that is our life — how we live, love, and serve.”
I preached it for years.
But little did I know — God would lead me to live it fully.
Today, I stand without a physical pulpit… But every place I step into became one.
- The hallways of a workplace.
- The bedside of a patient.
- The kitchen table with my family.
- The quiet moments serving behind the scenes.
This is the pulpit I carry now.
“Preaching is not limited to a platform. Ministry is not confined to a microphone. Our life itself is the loudest message we will ever preach.”
I Wrestled.
“Am I still a pastor if I’m not preaching?” “Did I lose my calling?”
But slowly, God began showing me:
The calling doesn’t change just because the scenery does.
I wasn’t finished — I was being reassigned.
My Workplace Became My Mission Field.
- Every hallway became sacred ground.
- Every elderly patient became part of my congregation.
- Every online message became a continuation of the calling.
- Every act of love became a sermon.
God didn’t cancel my calling — He was expanding it. He was refining me. He was teaching me that ministry is not about a title — it’s about a life surrendered.
And This is My Reminder to You:
- Your title may change.
- Your location may change.
- Your work may change.
But the God who called you? He never changes.
The calling stays.
“For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.”
— Romans 11:29
