Jann Fayel is really a gift from above!
My wife and I started to learn how to be a parent. Febe practiced the skills of a mother. She took the responsibility to bathed Jann daily and tried her best to feed the baby. I then sacrificed sleepless nights especially when our eldest is sick. Those days were amazing. The singles life is no more.
As Jann grew, she was not spared with different sicknesses. From amoebiasis to skin diseases, our daughter and wallet suffered a lot, with the high price of medicine. Yet the Lord never made us feel the need for He always answers just in the right time. He provides. He heals. He comforts.
In 1999, I had the chance to attend a month-long-seminar in Singapore, I went home with a Barney CD (not so popular in the Philippines during that time). Jann started to sing and dance, copying the character and kids. Febe used to bought books for Jann every time we visit the National Bookstore. This time around, Jann became so interested with pictures and words. She learned to read before reaching her first birthday.
More than her dancing, singing and ability to read, we raised Jann in prayer. Febe and I taught her the basics of prayer. We bought a Children's Picture Bible where Jann started reading too. She is always with us as we serve God and ministers to people. Jann grew up, literally, in the church.
We believe God can make her reach the top... and she did!
