Richard and Maricar Poon, to speak at 6th ‘Colour Me’ Ladies Conference

He is a balladeer known for his silky smooth voice and she is an actress, model and licensed doctor. Together, Richard and Maricar Poon inspire others with their story of how the Lord brought them together. The Poons will speak at the 6th Colour Me Ladies Conference this March 2, Saturday at the Pacific Ballroom of the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino. The conference runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This year’s theme is “Colour Me White,” based on Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God.” Other speakers include Christine Kairuz and Venus Raj.

This will be the first time the Poons will be speaking before an expected crowd of 2,000 women from different parts of the country. When asked what advice she would give her 13-year-old self about purity if given the chance, Maricar said: “Even though you may be embarrassed, talk to your mom, dad, older sisters and aunts about boys. Not your friends, because you and your friends don’t know much about it yet.” According to Maricar, to be pure of heart is an everyday challenge.

“I never believed I was impure until I was shown that I was. I think that was the most important step in my continuing journey toward a pure heart.”

Colour Me Ladies Conference tickets are available at any OMF Lit Bookshop. Tickets are inclusive of packed lunch and a goodie bag. Registration at the venue starts at exactly 8 a.m.
