In a world filled with uncertainty, pain, and the silent cries of souls longing for hope, Coach Nile, more than a blogger and social media personality, stands as a beacon of light. His mission is not fueled by vast funding or grand sponsorships but by an unquenchable fire within, a passion that refuses to be extinguished. A passion to bring the hope of God to every soul he meets.
For the past two years, Coach Nile has traveled across the Philippines and beyond, touching lives, speaking truth, and offering healing to the broken. From the top North in Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Norte, Benguet, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, Cavite, and Manila, down to the South in Cebu and Davao, and even across international borders to Hong Kong, his journey has been relentless. Now, an invitation awaits him in South Korea this May 2025. His mission has never been about comfort or recognition; it has always been about people, about lives that need saving, about souls that need to hear that they are not alone.
A Fire That Cannot Be Quenched
The mission of Coach Nile stems from a deep conviction that every person has a God-given purpose. Suicide, depression, and mental anguish have plagued the world, and Coach Nile has taken a firm stand, his advocacy against suicide and for mental and spiritual health is unwavering. He has encountered countless individuals battling darkness, and through his words, his presence, and his faith, he has pulled many back from the brink of hopelessness.
Despite having no massive financial backing, his consistency, perseverance, and commitment have opened doors that seemed impossible. His faith has attracted partners and supporters, not through grand pitches but through the undeniable impact of his work. Those who have witnessed his dedication, those who have seen the lives he has touched, have chosen to stand with him making his mission trips possible time and time again.
A Calling That Knows No Borders
Last year, Coach Nile was part of the Dignity Conference in Manila, a powerful gathering under Eunice Bennett Ministries that tackled the crisis of hopelessness among OFWs in the domestic hospitality industry. Many Filipino workers abroad struggle with depression, anxiety, and the daunting challenge of transitioning back to their homeland.
After the conference, his mission trips continued, Ilocos Norte, Nueva Ecija, Benguet, Cavite, Davao, Manila, Cagayan Valley, Zambales, and Hong Kong. Each destination carried its own set of challenges, but also its own set of victories. In every place he visited, there were people who needed encouragement, businesses that needed insight, and communities that needed rebuilding.
This year, his mission has expanded even further. He has realized that even business owners, those who seem to have it all together, are struggling. The mental breakdown of entrepreneurs is a silent crisis, often overlooked.
Businesses fail not just because of poor strategies but because the minds behind them are burdened, confused, and directionless. Seeing this, Coach Nile decided to offer free brand consultations to Ilonggo entrepreneurs.
For seven years, he has been a brand and marketing strategist, solving business problems for his clients. But now, this is more than business. It is ministry. He is uncovering the real struggles behind businesses, easing out the mental anguish of entrepreneurs, and providing solutions that bring clarity and peace. This is not just about profit; this is about purpose.
A Book That Speaks to the Broken
This year, Coach Nile took another bold step in his advocacy for mental health. He launched his first book for his mental health book series:
I’m Not The Monster: 500 Confessions of Hope from a Struggling Human Being in a Cruel World
This book is more than just words on paper; it is a lifeline for those struggling with depression and anxiety. It is a voice of comfort, bringing clarity to those drowning in self-doubt and fear. It is a clarion call to fight against the silent battles that so many face every day.
Coach Nile wrote this book not just from theory, but from experience from years of encountering people who were on the verge of giving up, from nights spent praying for those who felt unseen, from the deep understanding that mental health matters, and every life is worth saving.
His book is a powerful tool, a weapon against despair, and an invitation to healing. And just like his mission trips, it is proof that hope is alive, and no one has to fight alone. You can order this book directly through Coach Nile.
A Commitment to a Mentally Healthy Community
Coach Nile’s work is not limited to churches or conferences. His impact is felt in communities, in boardrooms, in coffee shop meetings with business owners, in private conversations with individuals on the verge of giving up. He is building something greater, a mentally healthy community in Iloilo, in the Philippines, and in Asia.
His commitment is unshakable. He has seen the effects of hopelessness, and he refuses to stand by while people suffer. Instead, he steps into their pain, speaks life into their struggles, and provides the tools they need to move forward. He does this not out of obligation, but out of a deep, God-given calling.
His book, I’m Not The Monster, is part of this mission. It is a message of resilience, a reminder that no one is too broken to be healed, and a testament that hope is stronger than despair.
Lives Transformed: The Power of Hope
Countless testimonies have emerged from the people Coach Nile has ministered to, stories of freedom, healing, and restored purpose. His pursuit to fight against depression and anxiety has led to deep and lasting transformations in the lives of many.
“During the session, I have experienced freedom and realized how God has blessed me spiritually, financially, and physically. I learned how to let go and walk by faith, not by sight. Truly God is so good.” – Hong Kong
“In my life, God is a real transformer. I learned how to forgive and release the grudges. During the session, I received deliverance and healing spiritually and physically. My life before felt empty. Then, I discovered God’s plan for me and what Jesus did for me that changed my life. Now, I live with passion and clarity of my divine purpose.” – Hong Kong
“I was carrying wounds that seemingly were impossible to heal. But when I gave my all to Jesus, His love embraced me, bringing healing to my heart and body. During the session with Coach Nile, I received answers to my prayers. Now, I stand restored.” – Hong Kong
“During the session, I felt the freedom. I was so amazed by the freedom and healing—spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally—I received that day. I learned so much from the Word of God and that He is with me all the time, and He will strengthen me.” – Hong Kong
“During the highway prayer mission, I learned a lot from his calling and ministry. I am now more patriotic for my country than ever before. I am hoping that soon I will be more equipped in this ministry for God’s glory and purposes.” – Philippines
“I used to doubt myself, but experiencing how Coach Nile believes in me during sessions, I was motivated and finally saw the God-given value in me that could impact the world.” – Philippines
“I had one session in the mountain of Benguet where we had one of the longest time praying and counseling people into clarity and hope. I was so exhausted but it seemed like the session was not ending soon as more people were coming in by the hour. Until we ended up with a young lady. The session with her brought me the answer why we had to be extended until she reached the place. She was actually in depression and contemplating about suicide due to personal and financial issues,” Coach Nile shared.
“I navigated her situation very consciously and I had Pastor Marilou ministered to her broken hope and broken heart until she broke down in tears and asked for help. The moment she admitted she needs help, I know we did our part. A person who cannot admit and realize he or she needs help will never be helped no matter what people around would do to extend help. A big relief filled the house of our host as we were on top of the mountain. The family was given instruction how to navigate this issue in their family afterwards,” he continued.
The Road Ahead
With each passing mission trip, the movement grows. More doors open. More lives are changed. And now, with South Korea on the horizon, the reach of his mission extends even further. The country needs support, prayers and a touch of God’s hope when it comes to their suicide rate increasing every year as well. What started as a single step of faith has become a wave of transformation across nations.
This is the story of Coach Nile. A man who does not wait for perfect conditions, who does not back down in the face of difficulty, who does not need millions to make a difference.
He is proof that when passion meets God’s purpose, when faith meets action, the world changes because, in God, nothing is impossible.
