LJBC Youth camp 2012

Sorry for the long absence of posts here. We were out of town for number of days, I have no internet access for quite sometime and was held up for work last week

But I've got loads of pictures to share from the youth camp last April 1-4. Truly, to see these young people come before the Lord is more than the rewards we the organizer can get. The efforts we all put together was not wasted and we were all the more encouraged to do it again next year. We have 60 campers from 5 LJBC outreaches from which many have shown exemplary leadership skills. I believed REVIVAL has set in was and carried on to their churches. We were pleased to know that the weekend after the camp, the youth conducted prayer and worship in thier churches and they were all on fire! Praise God!!

Sure we didn't teach them how to repair leather but we hoped they learned a lot better than that, lessons that will guide them and help them as they continue to walk in the Lord :) We had 5 teaching sessions to cover the theme G-for Give, L for Load , O for Obey, R for Redeem and Y for Yes Lord! (G.L.O.R.Y) it is also a preparation for the mission's camp next year! those who said Yes Lord this year will be in a mission exposure next year!! We are all excited for that!

I'm having a hard time posting pictures (due to my connection) but if you want to see more please visit our facebook page : LJBC Global Ministry and look for the youth camp photos :)

Grateful. Leaving tomorrow

Thank you Lord for sustaining my strength :)

My husband and I have been very busy lately, just one week after the Prayer conference in Cebu and we are again leaving tomorrow for a four day youth camp of our church.

Aside from the ministry work, I have a day job which occupies my time on weekdays, this week was super busy, I've been staying later than usual in the office and then staying up late for my work at home job, not to mention the t-shirt printing we did this week. Don't get me wrong though because I am not complaining in fact I am thankful that even if my body is tired my spirit is not.

Thank you Lord that even in the midst of chaos I can hear you and spend time with you :)

Even when I am swamped with papers and documents (spread all over my table) and my mind is working non-stop, (at least  I don't review gps because it's not my forte) ...anyways..I am thankful that .in between breaks (even washroom break) I can hear His still small voice and HE shows me my errors before the boss got to see it! :D Thank you Lord talaga.

Yes, we are leaving tomorrow (later actually) and I haven't pack a thing yet, the camp will actually commence on Sunday afternoon but we will be the advance party so we're leaving one day earlier. We're taking a bus so that would mean at least 2 hours sleep or rest :) A total rest I must say.. when you have to do nothing but just sit and stare at the window or sleep. Because for me, for the past few weeks, most of the time rest means sitting in front of the PC, writing, updating pages (I manage 3 FB pages), searching, emailing, posting pictures, and so an and so forth.

But I am (we are) excited for this year's youth camp. I am sure God will do great things for the young people and their lives will be use mightily by the Lord,

Musical Instruments-Blessings

In a span of one month, the Lord has blessed the band so much, indeed He only wants us to take that step of faith. Neil our keyboardist was able to have that module for his keyboard. Michael, our bassist has new 6 string bass guitar! And now we are praying for a drumset for Ramon, maybe a second hand will do, he doesn't care that much if it's a Dynasty Percussion brand or not but as long as it is something he can bring to our events.

The SELAH band started the worship events just last February and we are all amazed how God has been blessing us, both of spiritual and material blessings. Our Cebu trip is one proof that God is faithful and is  our great provider.

But guess what, more than the material blessings, what makes my heart jump for joy are the feedbacks and comments of people we doesn't even know, people who worshiped with us, to hear that they really felt the move of the Holy spirit and that they were able to worship and experience God during worship time is more than enough for us to continue what we are doing.

Thank you Lord!!!

Jesus reigns in Cebu!

We're back from Cebu and we're all happy and blessed with what God has done in the prayer conference. Indeed, it is a privilege to serve God and be able to lead worship gathering of the anointed ones- the pastors, intercessors, ministry leaders and missionaries.

Once again, thank you for praying for us and supporting us. May the Lord return all the favor to all of you a hundred fold.

Sharing you some pictures :)

the whole team being prayed for

Prayer Conference

My husband and I together with our church's worship team will attend this prayer conference, we will be leading the worship all through out the conference, once again, I covet all your prayers. Please pray for God's anointing and might moving. This conference also aims to mobilize more missionaries that will spread God's love all over the world so please include that also in your prayers. God bless everyone!!

Thank you

Thank you for all your prayers :) This was my husband speaking last Friday in our worship event. All glory belongs to the Lord!!!
Below are some more pictures from that event :)

Indeed, we are Made to Worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!!

Prayers

I'm coveting your prayers :) My dear husband will speak in a worship event "a night of worship" on Friday. Last week, it was our good friend Andrew who spoke and he did well, my husband is very used to leading worship but not to speaking or exhorting so God bless him. :) I'm actually is more nervous than him. I can feel butterflies in my tummy specially now that it's only 2 more days. I feel like I've taken lovegra.hehe! But I know I should not be worried right? I trust God to give him wisdom and anoint him as he speaks..

However, it will help me if you'd say you'll say a prayer for him :)

Thanks everyone and God bless!!

The JESUS FESTIVAL 2012

Every year, our church participates in this once a year event that happens during holy week and organized by Pastor Rommel Guevarra and his team . This year it will be on April 4-5 from 6PM to 6AM. Venue is at The Wharf Tent in Muntinlupa City.

We look forward to being with other worshipers again and to witness the power of God displayed in corporate worship. Come and join us, let us CELEBRATE the FINISHED work of JESUS!!

A night of worship

I just want to give God the glory for the first of the 3 series "night of worship" of the Selah band. It was held in our church in Makati and we were  really amazed by God's presence even before the band started singing. True enough, people were led to worship and praises and everyone was overwhelmed by God's wonderful presence.

Two more "night of worship" for this month and then the conference in Cebu on the 22nd to 23rd.Thank you Lord that you are letting us soar now, please help us as we do the mandate that you have given us. To proclaim your goodness, to lead people to profound worship through music and prayer and to glorify your name!

And to my readers, please cover us with your prayers as we take this big leap of faith this year.
God bless you everyone. I hope you'll had a very good weekend and fully recharged for the week. I'm off to rest after the search for dowel pins.

Blessings!!

Love,Courtship,Marriage & Engagement rings too!

Two Sundays ago, I, together with my two lady friends was invited by the youth leaders to attend their one of a kind LCM (Love, Courtship and Marriage) teaching/seminar. We were asked to just tell our own love stories and then answer questions from them afterwards. Of course, each story is worth telling and from each story a lesson is to be learned. The topic actually is “waiting” and for some youth it can be the hardest part but if you wait for God’s best you’ll surely say it’s worth it.

Anyways, at the end of the session I told them how everything will be beautiful if they will just learnt o wait for the right time, God is definitely writing each and everyone’s love story and it is undoubtedly beautiful! I also mentioned that even their wedding will be nice and perfect if they will learn how to wait for God’s best. Sure there will be glitches but still people will only notice how beautiful they are and how eminent is the love they have for each other.

They may not even have the best engagement rings that was designs by vatche which is by the way available in Whiteflash.com, or maybe they might not even have rings at all but as I have said many times, happiness does not depend on what you have and what you have not. My wedding (and my rings) are so ordinary but I don’t care. What matters tome and to my husband is that when we got married, it was not just us but the presence of the Lord and the love is so present during our wedding and even years after the wedding.

I’m not saying we’re perfect and we don’t fight because that would be a big LIE ( every married couple knew that fight/disagreement is normal) but it doesn’t mean that when you argue you don’t love each other anymore and that you made a mistake in marrying your partner :)

I just hope, the youth learned some wisdom about love, courtship and marriage during that session. After all it was not easy sitting there, telling them your painful mistakes while waiting, the heartaches you’ve gone through and be bombarded with questions afterwards :) I pray they will really wait for the God’s perfect time and for God’s best for them.

Who knows they might even get one of these lovely rings when that big day comes? I pray the husband will give me one someday :) and oh oh..do you know you can have these engagement rings online? yes, that is made possible by whiteflash.com (the first company in the U.S. to offer an exclusive brand of Hearts & Arrows diamond and bring the sheer beauty of “super ideal cut” to the Internet)

So ladies out there, do not be in a hurry, marriage is a gift and it is worth waiting for :)
