At the age of 14, Pastor Apollo received through a dream a vision of a huge star, bright and fl aming fl ung down from the sky and fl ames rained down upon the inhabitants of the earth and there was a great pandemonium on the face of the earth. The vision was repeated the following night, this time He saw the image of the Father’s glory with these words writt en “The sun shall be turned into the darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.” At the same time he heard an audible voice saying, “If ye shall seek me, ye shall fi nd me in my way.” It was only years later when Pastor Apollo was in Bible College that he knew these were verses in the Bible in Joel 2:31 and Isaiah 55:6

Pastor Apollo went to Bible College in Makati City, Philippines.
 
He att ended a world youth conference in his denomination held in South Korea where in the last night of the convention, while praying with the other youths during the altar call—with the presence of the Almighty Father being sogreat that night—he fi rst heard the Father’s audible voice saying to him in a local Filipino dialect, Cebuano, that said, “Gamiton ta ka,” meaning in English “I will use you.” He was surprised for he thought God was already using him. He heard that voice again while waiting for his plane bound for the island of Palawan in the wee hours of the morning at 4:00 AM, “Gamiton ta Ka.”
 
Barely out of his teens, Pastor Apollo became a great evangelist of his denomination, preaching as much as seven times a day all over the Philippines. Gift ed with the talent of preaching, the people called him a “preaching machine.” He felt as if his bosom had a well of water springing up through his mouth that he had to open his mouth and speak.
 
He became hooked and deeply rooted in his work.
 
Plans were already set up by his denomination for him to study in America and for his eventual marriage to his beautiful American girlfriend.
 
Then things started to happen in his life which he could not control but he wanted to do so, as not to ruin his plans. But the more he tried to get control of them, the more it was slipping out of his hands. He did not know that the Father had already started to separate him from the denomination through circumstances he could not control.

Pastor Apollo was visited by a man whom the Father used to end him a message that He was calling him and the man said “He has plans for you.” That night he received a vision at the Imperial Hotel, where the man invited him, as he lay on the bed, a vision of a big hand holding a bronze cauldron and a voice said “This is bronze, take it.” On one side of the bronze cauldron was writt en the words , “Strive to rhyme for unity” and on the other side were words writt en in heavenly language and the voice said he was not allowed to divulge to anyone what was writt en on it and the instruction has remained to this day.
