My name is Ian Robert Roa Noval, and I am from the Philippines.
I was once a Catholic seminarian who served in the Catholic Church for about seven years and completed my high school education in a Catholic school. Grounded in a strong devotion to the Catholic faith, I felt called to religious life at a young age and entered the seminary at the age of 16, immediately after graduation.
In May 2019, however, a deep and compelling conviction led me to leave religious life and step outside the system I had known for many years. The period that followed was marked by many personal experiences, struggles, and reflections. Through all of these, the Lord, in His great mercy, revealed to me the Gospel of the grace of God.
It was then that I came to understand that salvation is not earned by works, rituals, or religious effort—but is freely received by grace through faith. Salvation has been fully and completely paid for by the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
This revelation transformed my life.
Today, my desire is simple: to share the true Gospel of God’s grace through this website and other social media platforms—to proclaim the love, mercy, and grace that God has freely given in Christ.
May He alone be glorified through this site and through every word shared here.
