S1 Ep6: Being Lay Missionaries Today with Ruel and Maan Aguirre

"Who I am today is because of the yes that I continue to give to God, by His grace of course. Kaya tuloy tuloy lang sa misyon kahit minsan parang mahirap sya." Couples for Christ is one of the mission-sending organizations recognized by the Vatican and over the years, lay missionaries (known as fulltime pastoral workers) have been trained and equipped to do the mission of CFC. Ruel and Maan Aguirre have been fulltime pastoral workers since their younger days. They started as lay missionaries of the young ministries and when they got married, they continued to answer the call of the Lord to go on mission as a couple, being assigned in the province of Kalinga and South Africa. In the course of their mission life, what they realized is that God never fails in answering prayers - through people and experiences - without them having to insist. It's all God's grace. They also share how the formation and training have changed since they started as missionaries. But the core of the pastoral workers' missionary training will remain the same - being pro-God, pro-family, pro-life, and pro-poor. Listen to their mission stories, why the formation of missionaries plays an important role in guiding pastoral workers, and how answering God's call is not about the one who's called, but about the one who calls. ----------  Make sure to listen to the full episode.  Learn more about Couples for Christ here: Website:  https://www.couplesforchristglobal.org/  Follow us on the following platforms: FB:  https://www.facebook.com/CFChrist/ IG:  https://instagram.com/cfchrist YT:  https://www.youtube.com/c/CouplesforChristMedia  For feedback and suggestions, you can email us here: [email protected]
