JIL BC 20th Anniversary

JIL BC Chapter has reached 20 Victorious years! It is only by the grace of God and His faithfulness with the JIL people's faithfulness that we have reach this far. This will be a glorious celebration. And your presence must be there to witness it.

The JIL BC Leadership believes that the best venue to celebrate it is at the Vancouver Convention Centre. It is a place that projects greatness and the Lord deserves it. He is worthy to be lifted up on September 18 by the JIL people from the different JIL BC churches converging to lift up one voice of praise.

That's why, in this important milestone, we have invited Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva, JIL Spiritual Director to minister to us on this very special occasion. Make sure not to miss it no matter what. This is our 20th year celebration and it will not be complete without your presence.

Don't miss it!

Whatever schedule you might have, find the time to be a part being a family member of the JIL Church. I guarantee that you will never leave empty-handed but filled with new perspectives for the next 20 years of our church life.

Let us see each other on September 18 @1:00pm sharp. Don't be late, there are many things in store. We don't want our Guest of Honor, the Lord Jesus Christ waiting. Come and be blessed! Bring someone along with you aside from your family. It will be a day that we will never forget!

God bless us all and see you there!

Canada Youth (CYN) Camp

Two youth camp has been scheduled this year for JIL Canada - Eastern Canada youth camp composed of JIL Ontario and Quebec delegates just completed last week and the Western Canada camp composed of JIL BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Seattle, WA delegates started today until Sunday.

Their theme, "Significant Generation" is a declaration of their intention to make a difference through Jesus Christ. It is through this kind of gatherings that new leaders are produced to take on the baton to carry towards the next generation.

To involve the young people towards fulfilling the Great Commission at their age now is a must. The church has a responsibility to challenge them through this events. Seeing how God calls and choose the next generation of church leaders is very exciting to see first-hand.

I am very excited to see and become part of what God will do to these young people. I was once a young person also that led many other young people to the Lord and it was such a great time. They were opportunities towards God's plan for my life then and has continued up to this time. I intend to become significant in the lives of the young people that the Lord will bring along my way as much as I can.

This is my passion and will continue to do so until Jesus comes or until my departure from this earth, whichever comes first.

Birth of Another JIL Outreach in Kelowna

Seeing the birth of another JIL Outreach as far away as the Okanagan Valley is truly something to behold. With God’s hand on it, one can only welcome where His hand would lead you. But it was a long road from its inception. Okanagan Valley was one region that our eyes was set on to establish a JIL Church. A declaration was shouted over it through prophetic gestures and prayers for the past years. Even contacts and communication was established with some JIL people living there at one point but it was not yet the proper time.

Then, the wait was over, two weeks ago, Ptr Mary visited our brethren in Kelowna and Penticton to challenge them towards the opportunity of a JIL Outreach opened in these two cities. Two weeks after, a Pastors and Staff outing including their families was decided. It will be a road trip to Osoyoos and Kelowna. And whenever you placed everything in Gods hands, things will go His way.

It was last Saturday when we met our willing and excited brethren from Kelowna to do some cherry picking and a fellowship dinner afterwards. It was through these simple activities that the door to officially conduct the 1st Sunday Service the next day was discussed. It was a step of faith that they took by renting a space in a nearby hotel even before we came. God was truly involved in it!

Two target cities, one is already opened and the other is being prepared. God is good! Now, we can truly declare that Jesus Is Lord over the Okanagan Valley and we are on our way to seeing other cities opened in the nearby future as well.

Things were moving and JIL Kelowna has formed its Leadership Management Team (LMT) from five (5) enthusiastic and faith-filled women. In addition, they will also attend the upcoming Encounter. Praise the Lord!

You are all very much part of what had transpired in the City of Kelowna as the “Best Blooming City. ” A JIL Outreach was opened as a result of its declaration and JIL Church experienced it first hand. There is no coincidence with God but all are part of His purpose and plan. When we become obedient to it, we will see His mighty hand move in a mighty way. Keep praying for more JIL people willing to partner with God in the Great Commission. Let God be glorified!

It's Summer Time!!!

This is the summer season that we are in Vancouver most of its duration. It is really, really good! Having to enjoy it with family is a special thing to have. Although there were cancelled schedules and trips but altogether, it worked out well....But most of all, it is great to see what the Lord is doing with the JIL Churches in Canada. So far, I have visited JIL Alberta and it is good to see their excitement for the new things that are ahead....Next will be JIL Manitoba to join their anniversary celebration..

However one looks at it, God will never open doors of opportunity without His guidance and favor in order to see it work successfully. This is how the ministry becomes easy. There is no struggle whatsoever even in the midst of challenges...

As JIL Canada reaches its milestone, great things are sure to be ahead...What a sight to see God's people at work for His glory alone...

Until next time...God bless us all as we do His work and purpose in our lives.

Celebrate Jesus Together Gathering in Vancouver

Last nite was a great night out with the multi-ethnic family of God in Vancouver worshipping and praying together as one voice. The Glad Tidings Church in Vancouver, BC became another house of prayer and praise for God's people from the different ethnic community churches gathered specifically to worship Jesus.

There were many highlights to share but the greatest impact will be upon the city of Vancouver. It was a night to plant a seed of faith from the many voices of God's people seeking revival and renewal for this city as a whole. A continuous bombardment through worship and prayer must be offered to experience a mighty breakthrough. i believe that when it comes, it will be a glorious day...Let's keep on praying...It is coming on the horizon....
