I’ve had moments in my life where I was on fire with my faith in Christ and I thought that the fire would never burn out, but there were also moments where I was searching for myself because I simply drifted away from Him, minsan mainit minsan malamig,” Marco said.</p><p>He added, “Life here on earth is not perfect, and it will never be the way that we want it to be. But having Jesus at the center of our life changes everything. Life has more meaning; life has more purpose 🙏🏻.”</p><p>Marco then renewed his commitment to God, saying, “I publicly declare my faith in Him and will always put God in the center in ALL aspects of my life. I don’t know the plans or purpose He has for my future, but one thing is for sure, I will be ready for it and I will trust Him!”</p><p>He also gave a short and sweet message to his partner Cristine and his friend Dominic, who were also baptized along with him.</p><p>“Congrats to us @cristinereyes, this a new step in our Christian life together and I wouldn’t want to have this with anyone else. I love you ❤️😘,” he told Cristine.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6a4d9ahttv/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A305330.80000019073%2C%22ls%22%3A304826.7000000477%2C%22le%22%3A304831.90000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="588" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Marco then expressed to Dominic,“To @dominicroque, isa sa mga tunay kong kapatid, proud na proud ako sayo!

I’m not perfect, but I try my best to follow His will. I feel like now is the right time to share this belief with everyone. I really feel it in my soul, and even though I know there will be obstacles, I want to let Him guide my life because I know that His presence is the only certainty in this world. ❤️‍🔥,” she wrote.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8lro54vJol/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A305344.60000014305%2C%22ls%22%3A304826.7000000477%2C%22le%22%3A304831.90000009537%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>She also expressed her gratitude to Marco, who had been a great influence on her.</p><p>“@gumabaomarco, your consistent love and constant support in good times and bad bring me happiness.

Your compassionate nature deserves fulfillment, and I am confident that your greatest wishes will be granted, with God’s favor,” she said.</p><p>Cristine added, “Amarah and I are rooting for you. I love you. ❤️”</p><p>To Dominic, she gave her assurance of support.</p><p>“@dominicroque bukas palagi ang pinto namin sa’yo. lab na lab ka ng mahal ko 💕,” she remarked.</p><p>Marco’s sister, Margarita “Gita” Gumabao then commented, “I’m so proud to have witnessed you bloom and embrace the freedom that is YOURS ❤️ Thank you for letting me walk with you and for letting me in. I love you so so much!!! This is only the beginning 🔥 Thank You Jesus 🥰.”</p><p>It was just not Cristine, Marco and Dominic who took part of the baptism last weekend as former Miss Universe titleholder Catriona Gray also had her water baptismal in the same church.</p><p>&quot;Glory to God always. So fulfilled to take the step of publicly declaring my faith today. I was baptized as a baby but wanted to take this action as an adult. So thankful to the community and family that @favor.mnl is. Thank you, God, for never ceasing in the pursuit of my heart,&quot; Catriona posted.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/9/maymay-entrata-opens-up-about-rekindling-christian-faith-1239"><strong>READ: Catriona Gray renews Christian faith through water baptism<br/></strong></a></div><p>Last March, Kapamilya star Maymay Entrata also had her Christian baptism where she confessed that she rekindled her faith following a period marked by personal challenges.  </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/6/24/catriona-gray-renews-christian-faith-through-water-baptism-1432"><strong>READ: Maymay Entrata opens up about rekindling Christian faith<br/></strong></a></div><p>&quot;Andami pong pagsubok talaga bago ako nagbalik loob sa Panginoon. &#x27;Yun &#x27;yung deklarasyon ko kumbaga, na magko-commit ako fully sa Panginoon kasi nasanay po ako na kontrolado ko &#x27;yung buhay ko, &#x27;yung plano ko.
