Event Speaker: Rocyl Balinas

08.18.16 | Women's Ministry | by Rocyl Balinas

    I'm Rocyl Joy Seraspe Balinas, married to Timothy John "TJ" Balinas. I joined TJ (who has been here in China for 8 years) in Dalian City after our wedding 3 years ago. Because of my employment at Beijing United Family Hospital as a Pediatrician, God had brought us here in Beijing where our son, Elijah John was born. He is 18 months old now.

    I was raised in a Christian home. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour when I was 6 years old during our family devotion lead by my father. Since I was young, I always wanted to become a missionary doctor. I believe God has a purpose for my life and I desire to help people meeting their physical and spiritual needs. By God's grace, I became one. I was happy to get involved in some mission work in the Philippines, Laos and Cambodia through our association and local church in the Philippines.

    I met my husband in one of the mission trips to the mountains in the Philippines.

    I never thought God would bring me here to China. It was a big transition for me (like, BOOM!!!) as I embrace a new workplace, new language, new culture along with my new roles in life as a wife and mother.

    I knew that in everything, God has a purpose. The girl who always wanted to minister with the poor and less fortunate finds herself more at the service to the rich, even famous, fortunate kids from different countries. Truly God's plan is the best and all I need to do is to obey Him!
