I have known her since my childhood days. She was a typical housewife with simple lifestyle, yet a true soul winner. She possesses all ailment yet suprisingly, her physical weaknesses was just on the other side of the coin. Flip it up and you will see the soul winner and a giver in her. She feel what the weak feels and it made her an effective God's servant. She seem to have a big heart for the poor and to the less fortunate. One time, I was surprised to hear that she bought basic school supplies to one of the kids she just met on a squatter's area nearby. She was so religious then but her sincerity to God was felt. Would you believe, she invited even the gamblers and the drunkards to attend Life in the Spirit Seminar at a Catholic Chapel in our village. Incidentally, that precious day was also the beginning of the salvation of many due to a Christian preacher brought by God. Later on, she was one of the few homeowners who's minds and hearts were opened due to continuous Bible reading and study. She left our native religion with my parents and others. They bagan to stood with the truth inspite of persecution and threat from religious panatics. She later on offered a vehicle to be use to mission and ministering to various places. Her eagerness to learn, made her study more and began to be a part of new ICWL church workers. Since then, many have been saved and blessed because of her kind heart and perseverence. Her faith was like a torch that led others to serve as well.During the early and critical years, she was apointed to handle Church finances. Her dedication and personal sacrifices innovated church assets and facilities. She was a Christian at heart and served as the foundation of ICWL faith structures. And yet, he still works with her husband like Saint Paul. They work for their living even if they are full time church workers/leaders. And in many cases, she mediates between leaders and members' conflicts. Sis. Leony was also known for her bloopers yet loved by many. She was trully the mother of faith to many. And her house was the launching pad of many (mostly relatives). Surely, this Sister of ours would be thank for in heaven one day! Glory to God!Let the generousity and faith of Sis. Leony Baldueza be remembered though like anybody else, she is not perfect!
