2. The
HEART OF
SERVING

3. 3Jesus knew that the Father had put all
things under his power, and that he had
come from God and was returning to God;
4so he got up from the meal, took off his
outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around
his waist.
John 13:3-16

4. 5After that, he poured water into a basin and
began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them
with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,
"Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
John 13:3-16

5. 7Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what
I am doing, but later you will understand."
8"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my
feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you,
you have no part with me."
John 13:3-16

6. 9"Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just
my feet but my hands and my head as well!"
10Jesus answered, "A person who has had a
bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole
body is clean. And you are clean, though not
every one of you."
John 13:3-16

7. 11For he knew who was going to betray him,
and that was why he said not every one was
clean. 12When he had finished washing their
feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his
place. "Do you understand what I have done
for you?" he asked them.
John 13:3-16

8. 13"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and
rightly so, for that is what I am. 14Now that I,
your Lord and Teacher, have washed your
feet, you also should wash one another's
feet. 15I have set you an example that you
should do as I have done for you.
John 13:3-16

9. 16 I tell you the truth, no servant is greater
than his master, nor is a messenger greater
than the one who sent him. 17Now that you
know these things, you will be blessed if you
do them.
John 13:3-16

11. JESUS SEPARATED THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
KNOWING AND DOING.

12. SERVING LEADS TO THE
PATH OF BLESSING.

13. TWO CRITICAL
LESSONS JESUS
WAS TEACHING

14. 1. AWARENESS

15. Winifredo 'Wini' Miro

16. CEBU CITY, Philippines – In the Philippines, poor
service is often the expectation when you go to
government offices. But at the Land
Transportation Office (LTO) in Cebu City, a netizen
took notice of an employee who went far beyond
that expectation.

17. "He opened his desk ahead of time and he is
gladly addressing the concerns of license
applicants," Moses Abraham Pasco said in the
caption of a photo sent to Top Gear Philippines'
Facebook page.

18. "And despite the heat, he smiles and works really
fast. At one point when a female applicant's last
name was Robredo, he playfully greeted her,
'Good morning, Madam Vice President,' eliciting a
good laugh from those nearby."

19. Pasco added: "Okay lang maghintay sa pila kung
nakikita mo naman na tinatrabaho ang papeles
mo. Saludo kami sa yo, sir! Salamat sa serbisyo."
(It's okay to wait in line if you can see that your
papers are being processed. We salute you, Sir!
Thank you for your service.)
Why Cebuanos love this LTO employee

20. The post went viral, generating almost 6,000
shares and 66,000 likes in a day. The man in the
post, Winifredo Miro, told Rappler he was "happy"
but also "embarrassed" that his photo went viral. "I
love my job. The reason why I’m inspired to work
is because I have a family. I have a family to
support and that’s why I’m doing what my job
requires me to do," Miro said.

21. Miro has been working in government for over 17
years and has also served as barangay councilor
of Ermita in Cebu City. Before that, he was part of
the Sanggunian Kabataan (youth council). A sign
that reads, "No license card available," hung over
Miro's head.
Why Cebuanos love this LTO employee

22. For several months, the LTO has been unable to
issue permanent licenses due to a court order
stopping the P-366 million supply deal between the
transportation office and the manufacturer of the
cards. The LTO also faced problems releasing new
license plates on time, after the Commission on Audit
asked the LTO to stop payment to the supplier of new
plates, and when the plates were abandoned and
stuck at the Port of Manila.
Why Cebuanos love this LTO employee

23. According to a 2015 Social Weather Stations (SWS)
survey, the LTO ranked as the second-most corrupt
government office, as perceived by business owners.
Despite these problems, however, Miro continued to
keep a positive attitude. While he didn't deny that
there might be corruption in the agency where he
worked, he said that he was focused on making sure
that he would not contribute to the problem.

24. "We just do what we should do," he said.
His philosophy at work is to prioritize the needs of
motorists, and to work as fast as possible.
"Honestly, the space I occupy is really hot
especially in the morning. I can’t use the electric
fan because the priority are the clients so the fan
should face them," Miro said.
Why Cebuanos love this LTO employee

25. Miro, who works at the public assistance and
complaints desk, said he has learned to handle the
stress that comes with it. "There used to be two
people on the desk but when I arrived, I was alone,"
Miro explained. "That’s why, as you notice, I work two
jobs at once. I do things fast because I know that
people don’t want to be delayed. While I’m
entertaining the complaint of one person, I’m also
paying attention to another complaint."
Why Cebuanos love this LTO employee

26. Miro, who was recognized as an outstanding
youth leader in 2003, said that customers can do
their part to help curb corruption and improve the
agency by not going to fixers. "Go straight to the
LTO and ask," he said.
Why Cebuanos love this LTO employee

27. To all government employees, he had this
message: "If you can do anything for the good
of the department, do it even if we get
reprimanded. Let’s just do what we have to do
for the good of our department."

28. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had
compassion on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a
shepherd.

29. 2. TIMING

30. Hadassah Peri

31. One of the world’s wealthiest women gave her
caregiver, Filipino nurse Hadassah Peri, millions
of pounds worth of gifts plus additional money in
her will. This is according to a report from
Mirror.co.uk. The story has been posted in 2014
but just went viral recently.
Billionaire Patient Gives Filipino Nurse

32. Initially, the Filipino nurse had no knowledge that
she was caring for one of the wealthiest women in
the world, Huguette Clark. Huguette Clark is the
youngest child of Senator William Clark, who once
went head-to-head against John Rockefeller for
the title as the richest man in the US. When he
died, he left his fortune to Clark. She was 18 back
then.
Billionaire Patient Gives Filipino Nurse

33. After Clark’s quick marriage to law student William
Gower that ended in divorce, she went into
recluse.
Apparently, Clark has never been photographed
again for 80 years. She never remarried and has
never had children. She lived a solitary life away
from society.
Billionaire Patient Gives Filipino Nurse

34. While living in recluse, Peri served as Clark’s
nurse.
Peri and Clark had little in common although they
both had strong Catholic upbringing. Peri would
take care of Clark, spending 12 hours a day,
seven days a week. Then, Clark started giving
Peri gifts.
Billionaire Patient Gives Filipino Nurse

35. Some of the gifts Clark gave to Peri include seven
homes, a Bentley car, and a Cezanne painting
and an antique violin which was later sold for the
cash. Clark also paid the medical bills and tuition
fees of Peri’s family and paid for the monetary
penalties after an unexpected tax bill.
Billionaire Patient Gives Filipino Nurse

36. When Clark passed away in 2011, Peri had
received more than £18million (approximately
Php1.1 billion) worth of gifts in the span of 20
years that she took care of her. In addition to that,
Clark gave Peri £8.75 million (approximately
Php532 million) in her will.
Billionaire Patient Gives Filipino Nurse

37. However, this angered some of Clark’s relatives,
which lead to a successful legal battle to invalidate
her will and acquire cash for themselves. In
September 2014, Peri gave up the cash she was
left in the will and paid back £3million
(approximately Php183 million) worth of gifts.
She was allowed to keep the rest.

38. Let us not become weary in doing good, for
at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we
do not give up.
Galatians 6:9

39. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works
of him who sent me. Night is coming, when
no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I
am the light of the world.”
John 9:4-5

40. THE PATH
OF BLESSING

41. 1
If you don’t learn to
serve in secret you won’t
serve in public.

42. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let
your left hand know what your right hand is
doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in
secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:3-4

43. 2
If you don’t learn how to
learn, love, and serve the
house of God, then you won’t
be able to be used by God.

44. Each of you should use whatever gift you
have received to serve others, as faithful
stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10

45. 3
If you don’t learn how to serve in
the insignificant, in the small, in
the areas no one else wants to; then
how can you serve anywhere else?

46. Do not despise these small beginnings, for
the LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to
see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand.
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)

47. "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever
you did for one of the least of these brothers
and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25:40

48. 4
The cause of Christ goes
through the heart of
serving.

49. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to
become great among you must be your
servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first
must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of
Man did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:26-28

50. HOW IS YOUR
HEART TO
SERVE?

51. 3Jesus knew that the Father had put all
things under his power, and that he had
come from God and was returning to God;
4so he got up from the meal, took off his
outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around
his waist.
John 13:3-4

52. TRAITS FOR A
HEART TO
SERVE

53. 1
Willingness to
get involved

54. 2
Sees people beyond where
they are through the grace
and mercy of Christ

55. 3
Goes low to
bring up

56. 4
Has a willingness to
get messy to make
a difference

57. Pres. Duterte and Chief Bato

58. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants
to become great among you must be your
servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first
must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of
Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many.”
Matthew 20:28

59. 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest
place and gave him the name that is above
every name,10 that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, in heaven and on
earth and under the earth,11 and every
tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11

60. 26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy
servant! So you knew that I harvest where I
have not sown and gather where I have not
scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should
have put my money on deposit with the
bankers, so that when I returned I would
have received it back with interest.
Matthew 25:26-27

61. 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and
faithful servant! You have been faithful with
a few things; I will put you in charge of many
things. Come and share your master’s
happiness!’
Matthew 25:21

62. YOU’LL MAKE TIME
FOR WHAT YOU WANT
TO MAKE TIME FOR.

64. A GENEROUS HEART
WILL ALWAYS FIND
A WAY TO SERVE.

65. So whether you eat or drink or whatever you
do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31
