In a quiet corner of Palawan, a 10-year-old girl named Julia became the unlikely spark behind a story of transformation, healing, and newfound faith. What began as a child’s simple gesture of kindness has blossomed into a powerful testimony of hope.
Julia’s uncle, Erwin, had long harbored doubts about the Adventist faith. But when his niece gently handed him a pamphlet for a free medical and dental mission hosted by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, something stirred in him. Encouraged by Julia’s earnestness, Erwin decided to attend the event—if only to appease her.
What awaited him was far more than dental care. The mission, part of the church’s Harvest 2025 initiative, offered professional services, heartfelt care, and an atmosphere of genuine compassion. Erwin was moved. His previous assumptions about the church and its people began to shift.
Following his positive experience at the clinic, Erwin started attending the evangelistic meetings held in the same community. Little by little, his heart opened to the message of hope, love, and salvation. What started with skepticism ended in surrender—Erwin eventually accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.
Julia’s role may seem small in the grand scheme, but her faith echoes a powerful biblical parallel. Like the young servant girl in 2 Kings 5:2–3, who led Naaman to healing through God’s prophet, Julia’s quiet belief became the key to her uncle’s redemption.
This story is a beautiful reminder: sometimes the most profound impact comes from the simplest acts of faith.
