The Lauriat Story
I have a friend who lives outside the Philippines.
We don’t usually talk, but recently we reconnected to discuss some business ideas.
After hours of random topics, our conversation shifted to something deeper. Faith.
He opened up about his struggles and his perspective on life.
I’ve known this guy since we were kids.
We always saw him as resourceful, adaptable, and doing well in life.
So hearing his story really hit me.
I couldn’t help but share how God changed my life.
Honestly, I never imagined we would have a God-centered conversation.
He knew me for years as someone agnostic.
But there we were, talking about Christ.
After a 3-hour video call, he messaged me and asked for my PayPal.
He said he appreciated the conversation and was craving a Lauriat from Chowking, so he wanted to treat me.
I told him it was not necessary.
He helped me just as much as I helped him.
But he still sent it. And it was more than enough.
Since he knows about Ink4Jesus, I told him part of it will go to creating more keychains for our ministry so it can bless others too.
That moment reminded me of our purpose.
To share God. To plant seeds. To be used by Him.
What started as a business conversation became a reminder of how good God is.
Everything has a purpose with Him.
P.S. About the Lauriat…
Chowking was closed. I was hungry.
So I ended up at Mang Inasal 😂
