LGI launches the LGI Dream 5-Year Building Project (2014 2018)

Sowing and Reaping into Good Soil

Thank you Holy Spirit, for releasing a precious dream in the heart of LGI! The LGI DREAM, a 5-Year Building Project, will see the rising of a four-storey facility that will serve as LGI's premiere leadership development and education center. A 300 sqm. strategic lot in a semi-commercial area in Kamias, Quezon City is being considered as an ideal site. LGI INITIALLY needs Php 7 MILLION to acquire the land by July 2014 to begin the project. By 2018, this building, complete with modern facilities, will play an integral part in our mission to train leaders who will transform nations. LGI is very grateful to Ret. Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno for accepting the assignment as Honorary Chair of The LGI Dream: A Building Project. The Committee Members are: Pastor Art Calaguas, Pastor Sonny Navarro, Ms. Nena Benigno, and Ms. Mabel Apostol. We thank God for their faith and commitment to help LGI put up a building that will be a center of transformation. The Holy Spirit has indeed been poured upon God's people; and because of this, we can truly dream God's dreams. How exciting our times are! Let's dream with God and let's make it happen!

Welcoming the Year of Double Portion With Our Firstfruits

2014 is a powerful year of "Double Portion." The number "7" means "Perfection." The number "14" means "Double Perfection"a Double Portion! Our First Fruits offerings this year, which was so generously given in faith by Gods people through our WindWatch services at the end of January, is the "Activation" of the double portion! When we apply the Principle of First Fruits First Things First in our lives, we begin to see that all firsts should be given to the Lord. To be in alignment with what God has for us, we must start the year off as instructed- by obeying God's Holy Principle! God's Word clearly promises: Isaiah 61:7, "Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours." What an exciting year for us all!

Seven Years of Delighting in Gods Glory

We rejoice in the Lord for the glorious seven years of the Wind Watch Prophetic Prayer and Healing Service. Over 150 people took part in the glorious worship celebration. It commemorated a ministry that has already given birth to other satellite prophetic prayer services in Makati, Quezon City, Pampanga and Midsayap. Honoring this years celebration is guest preacher, Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno (Ret.). He gave a stirring message on the need to uphold the pure gospel of Jesus Christ in the face of increasing humanism and new-age philosophies. He is a proud alumna of LGIs One Year Integrated Bible Curriculum course and WindWatch prayer leader at the Puno United Methodist Church. He is also the distinguished Chair of the LGI Dream Building Project Committee which was launched at the end of 2013. As we look forward to our 8th year, may we be ever-eager to receive from the Holy Spirit especially as we look forward to the WindWatch teaching themes for 2014: Possessing the Future; Using our Authority in Jesus Name; Rising Up in Power and Receiving Double Anointing. Other members of the Committee who were consecrated during the service were Pastor Art Calaguas; Ms. Mabel Apostol and Pastor Sonny Navarro.

Holy Spirit Rains Down at PLS 8

What a mighty outpouring it was! We praise God for the 103 participants of the 8th LGI Prophetic Leadership Summit held on January 17-18 at the Center for Community Transformation Retreat Center in Tagaytay. Participants from various churches came from as far as Baguio, Pampanga and Midsayap, Mindanao and even from the United States! It was truly a Spirit-filled event marked with powerful and life-changing teachings on the themes. Rev. Dr. Mina NavarroPalomo emphasized that a mind possessed and activated by the mind of Christ uncovers the deep secrets of God; Rev. Dave Sablan focused on unleashing the power of healing and allowing the Holy Spirit to mightily fill in all our deficiencies; Rev. Abe Ng Singco revealed that the only way to break the spirit of poverty is to learn to sow our material resources in the kingdom of God; Rev. Bernadette Amistoso-Morales shared that taking hold of Gods favor is all about being hungry for Gods prophetic revelations and aligning with Gods will in faith and humble obedience; and Rev. Criscelyn C. Navarro expressed that our spiritual gifts are ignited with intimacy, intelligence, intensity, integrity and influence that comes from the Holy Spirit. A very thick spirit of worship and prayer marked this years PLS. Participants experienced the healing presence of the Lord; received prophetic prayers for life-directions; ministered to one another in love; and received the fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit. A very special feature in this years PLS was the Dawn Worship. Participants were reminded that the greatest work of the Holy Spirit is to bring people to a genuine understanding of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. A mighty spirit of intercession filled the session hall as people expressed their gratitude to Jesus for the precious gift of salvation. They were also moved by the Spirit to cry out to the Lord for the salvation of loved ones and friends.
