“God holds our tomorrow.” We don’t know when our time will be. The death of our brother, Jimmy Plaza of Manikling, San Isidro, Davao del Norte, was unexpected. He met an accident and, after two weeks in the ICU, God took him.
For his family, our brother's death is not a loss but a gain. The nightly wake services were turned to a public evangelism crusade and they used the time as an opportunity to share God’s message to the people who attended the services.
Bro. Jimmy Plaza was one of the constant financial supporters for our “Nahisulat Na” Radio Program. Together with his family, he was re-baptized last summer camp meeting (May 2008) by Pastor Patrick Herbert of Tucker-Norcross SDA Church/Gilead Institute of America.
Two weeks before his death, the Royal Valley brethren visited him in the ICU and extended not only financial help but also moral support to the family. His daughter, Iris, initially believed that his condition was improving but finally gave up. Most of the RVSDA brethren, with the elders and family all present, empathized with the family. The brethren went to Manikling (a four-hour travel from Davao City) the day before the burial and took charge of the program.
Even with this event, the RVSDA brethren were happy to witness the faith and the spirit of Bro. Jimmy's wife, Sis. Bebe, and his daughter, Sis. Iris, and how they remained active in missionary work.
