Great Events

Yeah, we’re sorry if we haven’t blog for quite a long time. Hehe. But we’ve got some good news for you, :-D. Last week, we had visitors from England. They are only 4, and there is only one youth who has come, and the other three are twice and trice his age, strange huh. hehehe. But well, his name is Jack and he is one of the youth leaders on their church, Rotherham New Life Church. And throughout the week we have him come in our cell groups, feeding programs, BJMP Ministry(Jail Ministry) & youth services and fellowships, of course eating fellowship will never be forgotten, hehehe.

During their stay here, some of our youths have improved their social skills. Hahaha. Frankly, I was shocked at the same time impressed on how they approach our visitors. they're confidence has improved in tagalog figure "makapal na mukha nila" hehehe. Praise God :D. And last Friday, on our youth service, Jack shared the word of the Lord. And he shared about everyone is a leader & be careful who you follow. It was great, the word was great and especially the presence of God was really there. We can feel His presence that night, especially when pastor Marlou called for an altar call, many responded on the message. Then Jack came up on stage and said that if anyone wants to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, come in front, pastor Marlou was interpreting. Then suddenly, after that, the presence of God fall down In our midst, we can feel it and it’s so strong, I believe that some were touched deeply, some were baptized with the Holy Spirit and only 1 youth was slain. Praise the Lord. :-D whooo! To God be all the glory.

Last Sunday, it was our Cornerstone Church United. The program was long, hehehe. Praise God. :D we had 4 preachers from our Cornerstone Churches, they were Sis. Maribel Manango[Don not worry], Ptra. Terese Liday[Trusting the Lord], Ptr. Henry Rustia[Dream] and Ptr. Mark[Faith without deeds is useless]. It was great, the last preacher was pastor Mark and he summed up all what the others have preached and many responded on the message. It was great. :D praise God.

Starting today, the Tri-district conference has begun. Different people from 3 districts will come for this prayer conference. it's called Power Conference and it's theme is "SEEKING THE LORD, REAPING THE HARVEST."f Sefton Village ain't enough to accomodate such number of people for their rooms, so each church near Sefton will accomodate some people. Our church have accomadated 50 women, hehe. Pastor Marlou was talking to us about doing the extra mile, so tonight we'll be ushering them to the church, serving them, doing the best for them, doing the extra mile. so we're kinda excited tonight. hahaha. this people are serving the Lord and they deserve the best. :D

And lastly, this December 6, 2008, Saturday. We’ll have our evaluation and planning for our church, Cornerstone Church Santiago Main. We’ll report on what happened and our accomplishment this year 2008. And our plans for 2009, :D. If you can see the blog of our senior pastor of our church, CCS Main. He talks about the word he received from the Lord, “Saturate Santiago”. And our vision will come from there. I believe that Santiago is for Christ.

To God be all the glory!

INHERITANCE

INHERITANCE

Hello, sorry if we have only posted today ;-), hope we will post more often these coming days, hahaha, Pray for us. :D These past weeks, pastor Marlou has been talking to us about the dreams of God for us, our part in the church, and our inheritance. We we’re all so excited about it! And last night I’ve red about David’s Victories at 1 Chronicles 18, and as you read it, everywhere David go “The LORD gave David victory everywhere he went.” v6b, 13b; 2 Samuel 8:6b,14b. Isn’t that great, everywhere he went the Lord gave him victory, why? We know coz David did all that was right in the eyes of the Lord. It is the Lord who gives us victories! I know Santiago is our inheritance! And I believe that we will have victory wherever God wants us to be! Yes, there will be problems, small & great, but Santiago is our inheritance & it will come to past and all glory, honor & power belongs to God alone.

God has said to us that we should PREPARE the church & now we must SATURATE Santiago, we don’t know how but that is why we’ll gonna have a prayer & fasting day & overnight prayer meeting at December 12, 2008. Like David has done, he always inquire of the Lord. Pastor Marlou was saying to us last night, Sunday, pioneering is very hard, but it’s very exciting. We’re so excited about what God will do in our lives, in our families, in our church & in Santiago, or even more, the whole world. We don’t know what God has in store for us, but we know it’s great.

As sons of God we all have inheritance. What is your inheritance? What is your dream? God has given you a dream but "All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them." – Walt Disney

Have a blessed day, Godblezyol

Cornerstone Youth Sports fest 2008 & Youth Service

Cornerstone Youth
Sports fest 2008
& Youth Service

Praise the Lord! Got some good news for you folks, haha. We have conducted a sports fest for the youth of Cornerstone - Cornerstone Youth Sports Fest 2008. We are led by pastor Jhun. Why have we conducted this? Because we’d like to know more & build our relationship with the youths in our cell groups & the youths who attend our youth service every Friday night @ 6 pm :D, frankly, we just want to have a longer fellowship with them, haha. So, after pastor Jhun has opened it to us, he opened it to the leaders & pastor’s of our church. And they said, “bakit kayo lang ay? Sali naman kami!” (why only you? Include us!) :D so, all have joined, Praise The Lord! So we asked permission to pastor Winston, and I think he agreed. :D, haha. Praise God!

This will be held at Sefton Village, Divisoria, Santiago City @ October 4, 2008, 7 am – 5 pm, registration is 20 pesos, our theme is: “BUILDING RELATIONSHIP, ENHANCING INTIMACY”. Why do we have this theme? Coz we’ve seen that over the last 4 years, if you are from Cornerstone Main you only mingle w/ Cornerstone Main young people not with the other youths of the Cornerstone, that is every united :-( sad. Yup, there’s a division upon the youths and we’d like to break that barrier. So we conducted this one day sports fest to build our relationship and enhance our intimacy w/ each other. Where there is unity God commands his blessings to come. to God be all the Glory, :D

And now, last Wednesday we have a meeting about this and it has taken us 2 hours to finish it, haha. It was great, the leaders of Cornerstone San Isidro and Naggasican was w/ us. It was great, we had a good time together, :D. We place leaders on each team, but now it’ll change coz there will be only 4 teams to be put up, as suggested by one of our leaders of our church. So it’ll be 4 teams. :D

Ok, about our youth service last Friday. It was great, for the first time on our youth service, ptra. Emmy Lou preached, hahaha. Praise God.She talked about “what does God expect of me?” @ Deuteronomy 10:12. And here she gave 5 points:

1. Fear God
2. Live according to His will
3. Love Him
4. Worship Him with all your heart and soul
5. Obey His commands

And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Deuteronomy 10:12.

Godblezyol! :D

Missions Trip and Youth Service

Missions Trip
& Youth Service

It’s been along time since we’ve blogged again, hahaha. Well, our pastors are now at UK, praise the Lord. They are Pastor Mark, Pastor Marlou, Pastor Winston, Pastor James A. and Pastor August. They’re blessed, hahaha, kamusta po kau jan? Well, they are not just there to relax and to have vacation, they are there to make an impact at the churches there. :D, we’re missing them, hehehe. Pastor Marlou, miss ka na namin, hehehe Pasalubong ha. Joke lang. they are there for almost 1 month, long long time. :D gonna miss them so much. :D

Ok, last week on our youth service. Worship was really great; the presence of the Lord was there :D, and pastor Jhun shared the word of God, he shared about I Timothy 6:11-12

11”But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” I Timothy 6:11-12

One thing I remembered on His topic is, if we want to follow Christ, we must run away from all evil things. And He talked about Joseph on this. What Joseph did when he was tempted by Potiphar’s wife, he ran away from her. Day after day, Joseph was tempted but he keeps running away. In our life, temptations will never run out but we should always run away from it. The good news is that God is always by our side, that we can call for help when we are tempted, it is really hard if we do it by our own strength but with God’s grace and strength we can be victorious if we just cling to Him. In John 15:5 w/o Him we can do nothing, we must always be connected to Him no matter what. In Him we can be victorious, we can be winners, we can be conquerors.

Yes, there are times we fail, but the good thing is we never stop there.


God has big plans in our lives.
We just have to cling unto Him no matter what.
Blessings from CCS Generations Santiago Main!
