Leticia: What is the Mission and Vision of YDA-GO VIRAL?
Benhur: YDA-GO VIRAL mission is to glorify GOD by reaching out to others and rebuilding relationships to capacitate and rejoin followers to a sustainable mission for Christ. The Vision is seeing the direct participation of every changed individual with a transformed self, transformed family, living in the community to adhere to teaching, and being an example of Jesus Christ, all for the glory of GOD.
Leticia: What are some activities and events that your ministry does in the community?
Benhur: GOD gave a mandate to man —be fruitful and multiply and have dominion over living creatures. This command from GOD places the responsibility to take care of the earth and all its creatures of all generations.
Furthermore, Jesus said, ‘All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. (Matthew 28:20 KJV)
In response to GOD’S calling and because of His bountiful grace and mercy in our lives, my wife and I made a covenant with GOD that at the age of 60, both of us will spend the rest of our life for His service. No more personal business, all for His BUSINESS and His AGENDA!
Leticia: How has GOD Blessed Your Ministry?
Benhur: With partners and networks, GOD has blessed us with His daily presence and provisions. He crafted our hearts and prepared our life experiences for this mission. He established the place and the heart of the local people for this mission. GOD provided us with people whom he called our accountable partners.
For example, we found favor through assistance from the Barangay Officials in spite of spiritual differences.
We are BLESSED by the people who, from out of nowhere, were instrumentalized by GOD so that our youth could have quality education: a personalized education system that makes “ the impossible” “POSSIBLE.” Through the kindness of GOD’S appointed people who partner with us, Dr. Oscar J. Nelson Dowdell-Underwood, the Founder and Headmaster of Cornerstone Christian College Prep Day and High School (C-PREP), and the persevering spirit of Dr. Leticia Starks-Underwood and C-PREP Staff. As a result of this relationship, you all are making our ministry enjoyable and accomplishing.
