A Catholic Priest became a Christian…

Youth_meeting It was his blind obedience that brought him out of the Catholic Church.  Father Morris, a catholic priest for more than 18 years is speaking before the youth group of the Apostolic Ministries International - Sharjah, last Thursday.  His passion and dedication to serve Christ does not stop him from leaving the four corners of the Roman Catholic. He went to the streets and preach the gospel and reach to the unreached and touch the lives of thousands families. His testimonies is a life changing and encouraging statements that will strenghten the relationship that we have with God. The trials and persecutions he surpassed was amazing and only by God’s grace he was able to stand firm on his faith.

It was his passion to be a servant of God, at the age of 13 he dedicated himself and wants to enter the priesthood.  At the age of 18, he was accepted at the Junior Seminary and later on pursue his degree in theology thereby becoming a priest.  His prayer since his young age is quite simple yet big; he wants to do God’s will and follow Him

It seems that following Jesus was never an easy task.  Leaving a luxurious and comfortable life in the convent, as Head of several Catholic Agencies in India was not as easy as ABC for Pastor Morris.  His encounter with Mother Theresa was a life changing experience that open his eyes of understanding of how the Living God works when we follow Him blindly.  It is not following the dictates of men, it is following our God who created the man.

I may not be able to cover his entire story, as he sum it up, he says: "I believe in Christ when I was in the Catholic Church but now I am experiencing Christ"

    Hi Franie,

    I really like reading your blog posts…I like the sincerity and passion in your writings. I’d just like to comment on this specific line….the title I mean. Not that I intend to raise up an arguement nor I have anything against you. But I just think it’s quite offensive. The line “A Catholic Priest became a Christian”. When in fact all believers in Christ whether a person is Baptist, Re-newed Christian or Catholic…we all are followers of Christ and that’s what makes us Christians. I guess it would be appropriate to say “A Catholic Priest became a Renewed Christian”.
    I’m happy for you and what you do. I believe life is not a battle over Catholics and your Church’s beliefs…I just think all of us who really love Christ must make effort in bringing into understanding the non-believers.

    God be with you,
    Marnie
