Hello, Family and Friends!

My name is John Paul Lumakin. I am a church musician and artist who was raised in ministry—my father is a pastor and my mother is a pastora. Growing up in this environment has been a great blessing and a journey of faith. Our family has always relied on God, and from a young age, I knew that Jesus was calling me into His greater purpose.

Last year, I took a step of faith and pursued my dream of studying Performing Arts in Music Theatre. By God’s grace, I was blessed to become a scholar. However, just a month into my studies, I faced one of the most challenging seasons of my life when I became seriously ill while far from home in Luzon, with my parents in Leyte. Though painful and difficult, that season became a turning point—God used it to strengthen my faith, refine my character, and remind me that His plans are always greater than my own.
