to God. But it has been so long that we dont even remember the way. How do
we find our way back to God? But the good news is that, no matter how hard
we may find God, we will not be alone in striving, for thou art with me.

CELLPHONE ADDICTION HARMING ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IS AN INCREASINGLY REALISTIC POSSIBILITY. Women college students spend an average of 10 hours a day on

Please ease their loneliness, suffering and pain; and if it is Your will,
provide physical and emotional healing so that our Lord Jesus' name
may be glorified among us. Thank You for answered prayers on
behalf of all alumni and family members who have been healed and
are recovering.
6. Give us divine wisdom to choose healthy habits and lifestyle (as in
"NEWSTART"). Help us to: eat a healthy diet of fruits, nuts, grains,
legumes and vegetables; do healthy walking exercises; be temperate
in the things we do, eat and drink; and partake lots of pure water,
sunshine, air, and rest. Help us to continue avoiding meat, dairy
products, and other substances detrimental to our health so we may
live longer lives for Your honor and glory and be of service in bringing others to our Lord Jesus.
7. Thank You for answering our prayers in establishing the only
Adventist College of Medicine (AUP-COM) in Asia and the Pacific
Islands. As our AUP-COM starts its program this coming school
year, August 2015, please guide and help us all, Alumni, AUP Members, and friends, to boldly move forward united in the financial and
prayerful support of this college. Bless the ongoing construction and
improvement in the Alumni Hall Building, which will house the
COM, MedTech School, and their labs and classrooms. Bless our
AUP administrators, teachers, students, AUP workers in their daily
tasks and activities. We pray in a special way that You will bountifully bless our working students' FARM PROGRAM. We pray for a
peaceful and joyous atmosphere, harmonious working relationships,
and financial prosperity for all departments and occupants in our
campus.
8. Instill in us Your principle that our GENEROSITY toward others
is a barometer of our personal relationship with our Lord Jesus (Matt.
25:31-46), and that our giving is an INDICATOR of our thankfulness
and gratitude to Him, Who loves us and provides for our every material, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. Touch the hearts of all
our AUP alumni and AUP members to share a portion of His blessings with Your poor and needy children, especially: (a) Reva
Moore's " Help the Needy " Mission for desperately poor children
and adults in the Philippines in need of life-threatening surgeries (see
www.helptheneedyoftheworld.com to donate); (b) Reva Moore's
Adopt-a-Minister Project supporting over 400 of our unemployed
SDA ministerial graduates preaching our Lord Jesus' gospel message
of salvation in the Philippines, and baptizing thousands of precious
souls annually for Him (see www.a-a-m.com to donate any amount
or monthly stipend). This ministry is desperately low on funds for
lack of sponsors. Please perform a miracle in the lives of our alumni
and friends to earnestly pray for this ministry to continue winning
souls for our Lord Jesus; and (c) Teresa Quirante's Mission of
Hope's FARM project for and by AUP working students to help
them become self-sustaining and self-supporting by raising farm
crops, vegetables, chickens and eggs, tilapia, various fruit trees, etc.
and help purchase farm work animals and tools (visit
www.missionofhopepi.com to donate). Thank You for a bountiful
harvest of first fruits from their vegetable gardens and corn fields,
We pray for a safe round-trip for our Mission of Hope Team, who
are now visiting AUP and helping our working students.
For Your Eternal Son told us to ask these things in His name
[John 14:13,14]. Amen.

COMMENTARY
By Many Fauni , mannyfauni@hotmail.com
There were those who believed that the world would end
in 2012, according to the newly discovered Mayan
calendar. If it did, nobody told me.
This is the potential danger of picking a sign here and
there and then make a hasty conclusion about it, that on
such and such a year, a month or a day that Jesus will
come. Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
I took up the challenge of Ray to look up the history of
economic crashes or failures in the U.S. And found out
the following :Beginning from the huge Wall St. Crash
on Oct. 29, 1929, which lasted for 4 years, Recession of
1937-38 lasted for one year. Nothing happened in 1936,
seven years after 1929. So, no sequence here. Nothing
happened in 1980. No sequence either. Oct. 19, 1987,
Black Monday if nothing happened in 1980, therefore
no sequence credit there. Oct. 13, 1989, mini-crash, no
sequence. July, 1990, recession that lasted 8 months no
sequence credit.1994 no record of crash or whatever
no sequence again. Sept. 11, 2001 if nothing happened
in 1994, then no sequence also attack on the U.S. Oct.
9, 2002 downturn in stock prices, not serious. Oct. 11,
2007 Bear market for two years, up to 2009.Sept. 16,
2008 Financial crisis caused by big banks 7 years
from 2001 I don't consider this significant because from
1929 up to 2008, there is only one Shemitah. There is no
preponderance of probability established, therefore the
Shemitah theory collapses. There are no dots to connect.
Much to my desire for my Jesus to come soon, I have to
patiently wait and look for definite signs in the Bible, like
the finishing of the gospel work around the world and the
passage of the National Sunday Law in the United States,
and the United States to remain at the top of the world
politically, militarily and economically, for it to speak
like the dragon and command the world to worship
the beast and its image and to cause the people around
the world to receive the mark of the beast (Revelation
chapter 13)that is, obeying the Sunday legislation. When
these things happen, then I know that He is even at the
door (sa pinto, sa pinto) already. In all of these, it boils
down to one necessity for all of us to be prepared spiritually NOW MORE THAN EVER because when we die,
that is already the Second Coming for us. GOD BLESS.

CLASSIC BUSCAGLIA
Death is a Challenge
Turned to this brilliant student of mine, a
graduate student but dont let that fool
you. One thing I learned many many years
ago, and thats that education has no effect
whatsoever. Some of the stupidest people I know
have Ph.Ds. I have one. Anyway, I said to this brilliant student of mine, How come? Hes living
there, hes lived there all his life. How come this
leaf chooses to be black and this leaf chooses to be
yellow? He said, I dont know. Thats just the way
it is. I said, It is not just the way it is! Theres a
good reason for it, and I want to know. You take me
to the library and looked it up, and you know, I found
out it is magic. Now I know, and Im not going to
tell you. But knowing the scientific reason for the
change of colors doesnt make it any more or any
less spiritual. Its still magic. Its still wonderful.
ARTHRITIS
vegetarian diet with emphasis on vegetables,
cooked and raw, particularly potatoes (raw and
cooked) and all vegetable greens. Alfalfa, fresh
and tablets, is of specific benefit; also raw potato juice, freshly made. Eat alfalfa seed sprouts daily.
Most beneficial vegetables: alfalfa, wheat grass, watercress, potatoes, yams, celery, parsley, garlic, comfrey,
endive.
Most beneficial fruits: bananas, sour cherries, pineapples, sour apples.
Avoid: meat, fish, fowl, cows milk, cheese, bread (even
whole grain), slat, sugar. Use honey for sweetener ;
kelp as a salt substitute. Raw goats milk is excellent in
fresh or soured form, up to quart a day. I have known
patients who cured themselves of arthritis by drinking
one quart of goats milk each day.
Yogurt, homemade cottage cheese and whole grain
bread may be added to the diet when the patient is well
on the way to recovery. Millet and rice are the best
grains. Use sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds sparingly.
For complete details on the diet for arthritis, see my
book, There IS a Cure For Arthritis.
BIOLLOGICAL TREATMENTS
All rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis,
are particularly responsive to vegetable juice therapy.
Repeated juice fasts (see Directions: 3) of 4 to 6 weeks
fasts. The alkaline action of raw juices and vegetable
broth (see Recipes) dissolves the accumulation of deposits around the joints and in other tissues. Green juice
(see direction: 5) mixed with carrot, celery and red beet
juice, and vegetable broth daily, are specific for arthritis
and other rheumatic diseases.
One of the most successful biological treatments for
rheumatic and arthritic conditions is the raw potato juice
therapy, used in folk medicine for centuries. The old
way to make potato juice was as follows: take one medium size potato, wash it, cut it into thin slices (with the
skin on) and place in a large glass. Fill glass with cold
water and let it stand overnight. Drink the water in the
morning on an empty stomach. Potato juice can also be
made in an electric juicer. Make it fresh and drink diluted with water, 50-50, first thing in the morning.
It has been demonstrated that the administration of bromelain (pineapple enzyme), 6-8 tablets a day, helps reduce or eliminate swelling and inflammation in the soft

ing my mom.
After finding this incentive to learn more and educate himself in
science, he was able to work his way through school at Philippines Union College, an Adventist University. This undertaking
was strewn with struggles along the way until one day he was
ready to give up but instead he prayed a prayer that changed his
life forever.
Lord if you can just show me the light at the end of the tunnel I
will serve you wherever you want me to go, Siapco said. And
right after I prayed that, I heard a small voice saying, Ben youre
going to go through.
It is because of this promise that Siapco made to God that he says
he will serve wherever He leads until his dying days. So when
AHI asked me to help with these mission sites, I said yes,
Siapco said. It was exciting, so I said oh yeah, I would love to
do that!
Since then, Siapco has worked at numerous sites where he will
stay for anywhere from two weeks to two months, working as
long as necessary from Sunday to Friday. It is because of people,
like Ben Siapco, that these mission hospitals are continuing to
grow and thrive within their countries.
Im just like the leaves in the autumn, Siapco said when asked
how long he would continue to do this work. Wherever the wind
blows, that is where I am and it is all because I made a promise.
A promise to God, and I cannot go back on my word.

Inauguration program

As this is a great celebration of AUP and the church as a whole, we expect a big number of visitors in our campus. In view of this, I would like to ask you to please inform us ahead of time if you are coming so that we
could plan on how we could accommodate you in our guestrooms and dormitories. Another option you may
consider and so desire is for us to reserve a room for you in nearby hotels. We look forward to August 7-9,
2015 with great anticipation. It is my hope and prayer that God will grant us health and our needs so that we
could be together during our inauguration program. Attached is our tentative detailed program of our weekend
gathering.
We praise God for your constant support to our dear AUP. All the best for you and your family!
Respectfully yours,

Dear Friends,
Ray Puen had conducted our Joint AWESNAEASNAC Choirs in the past, and we have appreciated and enjoyed his dedication and talent
for our alumni organization. Some may not
know, but he is also a missionary, who is deeply
committed to spread our Lord Jesus' gospel of
salvation wherever (Philippines, Nepal, SE
Asia, India, Fiji, Mexico, etc.) and whenever the
Lord leads him. He is also the author of several
books/articles on Biblical themes.
I just read his recent book, an eBook entitled, "The Coming
Stock Market Crash of 2015-2016 - How to Profit from These Amazing
Bible Predictions." This eBook is primarily written to reach out to the
post-modern and secular segment of our society (they are Gods children, too), who are the hardest to reach because of their unbelief of the
Bible and Bible prophecies, and their self-sufficiency with their trading
ability with stocks in the stock market. Ray hopes to make this book a
best-seller to pique their interest to read it and learn something about
the Bible and historical facts supporting its relevance to today, and will
lead them to more study of the Bible. We hope this eBook will also
make them aware that something catastrophic is about to happen soon,
and that our Lord's coming is very near. Only our Lord knows how
your help in promoting Ray's eBook was able to save a lost soul for His
kingdom. Ray will not personally benefit from his eBook; all profit is
designated for mission.
I highly recommend this eBook for you to read, as well, to
strengthen your faith in the Bible and Bible prophecies by understanding God's plan in saving people in the last days and how God executes
His plans and His will as found in His Holy Word. At first, I found
some things Ray wrote with raised eyebrows (questionings), because
I thought I was a fairly decent Bible student (pride?). Then Ray pointed
out some things that were missing in my studies of the Bible and historical facts, and now they make sense to me. I still have questions, but
I pray about them all the time. But this eBook has strengthen my
blessed hope that our Lords coming is very near even at the door, and
made me determined to reach as many people as I can to get to know
Him. I hope you will find his explanations as eye-openers and edifying,
as well. You may order his eBook using this website (may have to copy
and paste to a website browser):
https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=VYXxBwAAQBAJ
I tried to order 5 eBooks to give to friends, but found out that to qualify
under best-seller rules, this website will only take one PRE-ORDER
per email address. If you want, you may ask as many friends to order
using their email addresses and offer to pay for them (this is allowed).
When you pre-order, you won't be able to download the eBook until
May 29, 2015. However, you may contact Ray Puen
(raypuen@sbcglobal.net) after you have ordered, and he will personally
send you a downloadable copy to read so you can tell your friends
about the eBook.
Ray has asked several of us to help him generate a huge number of pre-orders for his eBook. This is the reason why I'm writing to
you all. We hope to generate 5,000 Pre-orders before May 29, 2015, so
his publisher can send his eBook to the Five Big distributors (Amazon,
Google, Barnes & Noble, etc.). These Big-5 will advertise the eBook to
their millions of readers, and hopefully this eBook will take off like
wildfire and sell hundreds of thousands (millions?) to as many lost
souls out there.
Now, some explanations. What is an eBook? It is the latest
thing in electronic book sales - cheaper than hard-cover books (and no
