Perfect Love Conference - Cebu

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the Perfect Love Conference organized by Filipina singer/actress Kuh Ledesma.  The conference brought together many famous Filipino personalities from the entertainment industries who shared their personal stories of pain, despair, transformation and restoration.  The theme of the conference was that God's perfect love can bring healing and restoration to the most painful of experiences.  Speakers shared stories of finding hope after experiences of violence, abuse, rejection and betrayal.  There was a special emphasis placed on restoration of the marriage relationship.  My very good friends, Mel and Cathy Po shared their personal story of a renewed marriage relationship. The message was one that is so needed in our generation.  There is hope and that hope is found in God's perfect love.

Between sessions, we had the opportunity to go backstage and eat together with some of the speakers.  For non-Filipinos, you might not know that this is Jodi Sta. Maria of the hit TV series Be Careful with my Heart.  She shared her story of being raised by a single mother and not knowing her father - the identity and esteem struggles she faced, finding success without finding peace and finally of finding joy and peace in her relationship with God.

The Freeman, a newspaper here in Cebu had a pretty thorough write-up of the movement that Kuh has initiated:
