Youth Service

Youth Service

Whoooo! It’s very exciting and challenging what God is doing here at our youth group this week. Last Friday, August 8, 2008, we have visitors from Singapore, they’re such a blessing. Most of our service we just have an average of 50+ youths. But that night, we have 90 youths, whoooo! The worship was really really really really great, God just moved powerfully in our midst from the very start up to the last, it was really really great and for us it’s the best servicew we had, it’s really exciting what God will do, :D

We have a special speaker that night. She had visited Philippines for 3 times and it’s such a blessing that she’s the one to share the word of God to us that night. She’s Sis. Maureen, a very good friend of ours. While we were worshiping, she saw a white sheet and she inquired to God what is this white sheet? God told her that it is the heart of this young people, how pure they worship Me(God) – it’s so encouraging to hear that. And she said that we must guard this white sheet that we must not let any stain or spot get into it, that we must do all we can not to defile it. God is so amazing that He looks into our hearts not on our outside appearance…Godblezyol!

God's Way

God's Way

Praise the Lord, it’s been a long time since we’ve blogged again :D. Well there’s so many things that has happened here, but first of all we have visitors from UK they’re here for 1 month over. They’re such an encouragement for us, some of them are here for the first time :D, and I think God has moved also in their lives, well but first of all on July 11, 2008 on our youth service, the youths of the UK Team were there w/ bro. Kenny and they have testimonies and special nos that night and bro. Kenny preached, I can’t recall it all but I think it’s about standing up for God, :D, here are some pics that night,



And we also have a cell group at Patul Highschool I think last July 15, 2008 and Kirsty was there with us, we have cell grouped I think just 5 or 6 youths there, but ate Leizel said that there was more. They were just nervous because Kirsty was there, hehehe! But it was great, :D



There so many things about what God has done while they were here, they have been with us in cell groups, youth service, hospital visitation, feeding programs, Sunday services and in Mcdo, :D, and they have been such a blessing to us. :D



To the UK Team, you have been a great blessing to us, we pray that God will bless you greatly in everything that you do. Godblezyol! :D

Okay, last week, ptr. Ariel gave me the iPod he has and he asked that if we have songs on our computer, and if we could put some songs in it and we have to install iTunes in on our computer so that we could put some songs in it. Installing iTunes was a mess, we’ve got to download iTunes 7.4 to put songs in the iPod, and we have no internet, then a virus (the one that when you try to show the hidden files, it wouldn’t show ), got into our computer, and we have to system restore our computer for a couple of times to fix it but it turned out to be more worse, we cannot install iTunes 7.4 coz it needed a file to install it, then we tried to uninstall it but again it wouldn’t, it’s really a mess. Hahahaha! We couldn’t figure out what to do so we formatted our computer and set upped windows xp on our comp, hahaha! :D

While we were doing all these things, I’m listening to one of the preaching of Bishop T.D. Jakes at the iPod and at his preaching he said, why does God allow difficult situations, bad situations, really bad situations in our lives that in some point of our lives we ask that if there is really a God and if it is really God’s will that we are in these situations. I have done things that is really bad, really really bad in our home, church, school etc but I have learned that God is really a patient God, that He allows these things to happen in our lives to mold us what He wants us to be, so no matter situation you’re in, whether how good or how bad it is, it is a part of God’s great plan for you, don’t be like Judas who gave up, don’t be like other Christians who gave up easily, but let God move in your life, trust in Him, open your heart to Him, let Him prune you, let Him work in your life, no matter situation you’re in He knows what is best for His sons and daughters, just understand that God moves ways that we cannot understand. :D

Godblezol! :D

What's Happening?

What's Happening .

We've been through a lot lately, we've got to admit that it isn't going great in our youth group especially in my life. Recalling what pastor Mark has prophesied about me, about the pruning that God will do in my life, that it will be painful. Back then I said that it's just gonna be a piece of cake, ooooh, what pride I had back then, but now, it isn't, for real it aint. Everybody thinks that I'm ok these past 2 weeks, but inside I'm not. Paul was right when he said "The Spirit is willing but the body is weak." I've been doing things I should not do, the things that I have been doing when I was in the world. If I could just turn back time, and fix these things.

I totally regret what I have done last year, 2007. I've been asking God for a sign if I'll go to Bible School or not and God did what I have asked, but I asked for another, then God did what I have asked again, but again, I asked for another sign, for the 3rd time, God did what I asked. But I didn't go to Bible School, I'm too afraid of what my mom will say, coz she really want me to finish college. God has really called me but I was too afraid, so I end up studying in a secular school, and I am a student assistant there but it turned out to be not good, I'm in the class but my mind is totally in the youth group. how well they are, where they are right now, the fellowships we will have and this and thats and more...back then I was so eager to learn, but now it's gone. My mind and my heart is completely in the youth group and in the church.

May is approaching, coz this is the month that we'll gonna enroll on universities and schools, and I've been thinking if I'll be a full time pastor at the church. This time I didn't asked God for a sign coz for me I think that I am dictating what God should do, so I just said to God, "God speak to me" and God spoke to me, He said "Full Time" but again I was too afraid of what my mom will say, so I end up again at the same school. Actually the day that they are to speak to me about these things, in going full time or in school, I made up my mind that I'll gonna be a full time pastor at the church, but I couldn't say it, what I have said is just totally to the opposite of what should I do and what I want.

There's so much more to say. Life is not always gonna be full of joy and laughter, there are problems, worries, doubts and more but the good thing is we're not giving up on God. Please pray for us brethrens, have a blessed day, thank you and Godblezyol!

Coming Very Very Soon: Revival!

Coming Very Very Soon:


Revival!



Praise the Lord, have you heard about what God is doing in Lakeland Florida? For the past 4 years in the church, we've just heard about revivals in the past, what is revival, what it feels like when revival is in our place, the great revivals in various places here on earth but we've never experienced it. But, whoooooooo, now were so so so so excited about what is to come in our country, and that is REVIVAL! As you see in our vision this 2008, "A Generation, prepared for the coming revival!" - in our youth group and in our church "A church, prepared for the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit, for a greater harvest!" Yup that's it, it's all about revival! Were just so very excited about it,

Last week, God gave a word to our head pastor. It's about the 'new wineskin', ptr. Marlou prayed to God about it, and then after a day or two, ptr. Marlou have seen the word 'hub' in a place, we don't know where, haha! But God impressed this word to him deeply, that when he went home, he asked his wife what is the meaning of the word 'hub' and that is center, and ptr. Marlou prayed for it again but still God didn't open up these words to him. Until it is thursday morning, they've watched the revival in Lakeland, Florida, USA in GodTV and guess what, the preacher preached about the 'new wineskine' and the 'hub' that the wine is ready to be put into the new wineskin and in every place there will be a revival hub....excited?

well that's not just it, last May 30, 2008, that is friday, we've had our overnight prayer meeting, God showed a vision to pastor Marlou, and that is, he has seen that a king, and that is Jesus, entering our city, and Jesus said that he will even enter schools and universities here, whooooo, praise the Lord! praise the Lord! Can't wait but still more preparations to do, in our church, in our youth group and especially in ourselves. But we're sure that revival will come here in our city...God is so amazing and to Him be all the glory, power and honor! Godblezyol!
