CRIMINAL MINDS

"Money is the root of all evil?" Rojack said.

"No, that is wrong!" Martha said.

"I thought that is what is said in the Bible?" Rojack asked for clarification.

The Bible said is: "1Tim 6:10: "For, loving money is a source of all kinds of evil, [and] some people who crave it have been led astray from the faith, and have stabbed themselves [in the heart] with many sorrows."

"Loving money! you will compromise for money, murder for money, lie for money, destroy people, and hurt people for money is the root of all evil. That love for money makes nobody safe. Love for money is the start and end of criminal minds," Martha said.

"Yea, I think you are right, I have loved it more than my life, my family," Rojack said.

"Now, I see the end of this, I think you opened my eyes to see this line of thinking and truth. Now, in little ways, I can compensate my wrongs by starting a new way, of instead hurting people, we will do good. Your Jesus thing is really foolish in my old way of thinking, but when I observed how you live it, and see you happy and contented of it, I think that is more than what I got from money. I want to try it, but regardless of the outcome, I'm happy that finally, I have done things without thinking about what money I will gain but how much joy I can give. I now see that money can be used not to destroy and hurt but to help and bless instead." Rojack said.

They started their project in Cabilao Island of Bohol.

The island, part of the Municipality of Loon, has five barangays (Cabacongan, Cambaquiz, Looc, Pantudlan, and Talisay), and has a total population of 4,663 people, who primarily depend on fishing and agriculture, as well as tourism.

Let's start by creating a cooperative. Rojack will use a cover, He will be known as RobinHood Estolano. He talks to Mayor Peter of Loon as an investor. He asked for help to find a cooperative that could make products that could be sold to the world. Mayor Peter introduced a dying cooperative of weavers, the Cabilao Weavers Cooperative.

Robin(Rojack) met the Manager, President, and the board of directors of the Cooperative. He invested one million for the raw materials, He bought twenty hectares of land to plant more Romblon Palm, Cassava and develop and trained farmers.

With the guidance of Martha, they made a good start. The cooperative became alive. They start to weave mats, baskets, other handicrafts from bamboo, rattan, baliw, nito, sig‑id, sagisi, and other materials in some upland barangays. Merlyn is the trainer on how to manage the finances with her accounting knowledge as a Commerce graduate.

Rojack hid all the guns and burned twenty million worth of Shabu and heroin.

The remaining one hundred sixty strong people of Rojack scattered throughout Bohol, he met for the last time. "I want to free you all, go back to your families and do some business, I want you all to start a new life. I gave you all an envelope as a farewell startup, All the sins you have done in the past, is on me. They received their envelopes. They hug each one, cried, and with tears said their goodbyes. Some left and some said they will remain to help in the new project and be a member of the cooperative.

"Wow! I cannot believe this, Thank you, Lord! Thanks, Boss Rojack, this is one hundred thousand pesos, I promise, I will use this to start a business" Ramon said.

Martha sends a letter for the first time to Tony, Katsuo & Ichika, Juan & Jacky, Ruthie, Paulo, and to Ely & Luz.

Forty of Rojacks men remained and been a member of the cooperative.

They build a new cooperative building a large weaving area, a warehouse, an office and a display store, a large conference room for training, and for meetings.

Two hectares were converted for a subdivision for the cooperative members. Robin developed it with a two-room double stories houses. The two hundred members including the forty of his men who remained were accommodated. The new office building of the cooperative was situated near the gate. After three months, the buildings and houses were finished. During the launching and thanksgiving, Mayor Peter of Loon Municipality thank the new cooperative with the new name of "Robinhood Mission House Cooperative". The members transferred to their new homes. The houses will be paid in installments with the ten percent of their earnings in the cooperative, the payment becomes part of the capital of the cooperative. They had a scheduled election, all the new officers were from previous men of Rojack, and the previous President and Manager became their adviser.

Rojack bought the first one million of their products and send it to be sold to Maketa Foundation who sells it to the world with the other products of other Maketa Mission houses.

The Robin Hood Mission House Cooperative sponsored a medical and dental mission to the whole island for one week. Ten doctors and five dentists and Martha asked Pastor Booc to lead the soul winning. Rojack accepted the Lord and most or all of the members were receptive and trusted Jesus as Savior.

When everything, was settled, Rojack told Martha and Merlyn that they are now free.

Martha and Merlyn decided to stay for a little while, to finish organizing the children's ministry and requested Rojack for them a chapel and a school for nursery, kinder, and a daycare for the children of the working mothers of the cooperative. Rojack was happy and asked Pastor Booc to make it his mission work, the land, the chapel, and the children's classroom buildings will in the name of the church. They started it and Rojack made it fast that the cooperative men made the carpentry for free. After it was finished, Pastor Booc made the first worship service, and Three hundred were enrolled in the school, and they hired ten teachers and Pastor Booc is the Director.

The school was funded with one million pesos for its operations funded by Rojack, and the low tuition fees will sustain its operations to continue.

Rojack made his farewell in tears. He will visit his family and his old mother. The community made a plaque of appreciation for him. They were so thankful for his achievements and help.

Rojack with Martha and Merlyn and twenty of his trusted men went to Cebu riding a pump boat to meet his men in Cebu and free them from the criminal life to start a new life.
