of Life-Growth Inc. Issue 33, October 2014 LGI Advances the Jesus-Agenda to the World LGI is committed to go global - - - so the WORLD may believe that Jesus Christ is Lord! And God has started to open the world to LGI through its Global NetWork (G-Net) online learning. Through G-Net, LGI is launching the Integrated Biblical Studies by Extension Course (IBS- ECourse). It is designed to unlock the secrets to a transformed and powerful life at your own pace, in your own place.
To date, we already have students from Saipan, San Diego, San Francisco, New Jersey, Maryland, and Chicago. We are excited for the new territories the Lord will open to LGI through the G-Net!
IBS-ECourse offers doctrinal studies made easy on topics like, Why we Believe, The Uniqueness of Jesus, Holy Spirit Power, Praying with Power, Love and Servanthood, and many more. It is only US$60 for sixteen (16) web-based video lessons.
Students of the course will receive an e-lesson video link and an answer sheet. The 20-minute teaching video, available through vimeo (www.vimeo.com), includes learning activities for students to answer. These answers will be submitted to LGI in order for subsequent lessons to be sent. The learners are also encouraged to engage in a discussion group on facebook (www.facebook.com) to enrich the learning experience. A Certificate of Completion will be given to those who will complete course requirements.

Last September two Integrated Biblical Studies (IBS) classes were opened in Pampanga and Baguio. Board Member Pastor Vida Mei Rivera is the faculty-in-charge of the two classes.
Rev. Jerry Dallig, DS Superintendent of the Cordillera Mission District, was excited to host the IBS class in his church. He encouraged his workers to enroll in the course as LGI scholars.
The IBS Baguio class is composed of 14 students, while the IBS Pampanga class is composed of 9 students, all of which are scholars of LGI and WindWatch Pampanga. - CCP Securing the Future Today: The Life Growth Christian Academy LGI is pursuing an awesome vision, a vision that God has placed in our hearts in this season of our lives: to establish the Life Growth Christian Academy. This Christian institution of learning is committed to develop the total person - - -body, soul and spirit in order to become productive members of their family and society, for the glory of God - - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
This vision is beautifully anchored on Philippians 2:15, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the universe This is LGIs concrete response to the task of nation-building as we envision to raise a people who will continue to advance the Jesus Agenda in these very crucial times. The LGI Christian Academy is committed to educate the person holistically according to the fundamentals of the Christian faith and the educational standards of excellence and competence.
The LGI Christian Academy will offer a very distinct educational experience that will advance evangelism, discipleship and missions. It will be Bible-based, family- oriented and service-minded. Last October 6, a special launch was conducted at LGIs WindWatch Prayer and Healing Service. In his very inspiring message, Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno (Ret.), chair of the School Building Project said, With our faith and persistent prayer to God, we launch the Life Growth Christian Academy and claim Gods assurance - - - Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and door will be opened to you.

Issue 33, October 2014 Two (2) WindWatch Prayer Ministries were launched recently. Rev. Excelsis Biteng, the Administrative Pastor of West Buguey United Methodist Church in Cagayan and currently a scholar in our LGI Life Builders for Jesus, opened their doors for the work of the Holy Spirit. A WindWatch Miracle Night was held there for 2 consecutive nights last August 27 & 28 by Ptr. Cris Navarro and Ptr. Ester Bartolome. The church consequently adopted WindWatch as their weekly prayer ministry beginning this October.
Upon the initiatives of Ptr. Vida Mei Rivera, Dr. Liza Dupingay (LGI Firewatcher) LBJ Student, Rey and Liza Abrasaldo (CLS Student), Ptr. Joanne Valenzuela (CLS Student), Ruby Valenzuela (CLS Student), Rose Valenzuela (CLS Student), Grace Corpuz (IBS Student) and Chester Go (CLS Student), WindWatch Baguio was successfully launched last September 12. Rev. Jerry Dallig, the current Administrative Pastor of Baguio City First United Methodist Church, graciously welcomed the WindWatch Prayer Ministry to their beautiful sanctuary. Ptr. Vida Mei provides the pastoral leadership in this monthly prayer ministry.
We are in awe because the Holy Spirit opened another season of training new PROPHETIC prayer leaders who will minister to the people with wisdom, word of knowledge, healing through the laying on of hands, deliverance, and miracles. -- PCCN WindWatch: The Wind Blows Where It Pleases LGI consecrates the LGI Christian Academy Building Project at WindWatch Our hearts continue to overflow with gratefulness as gifts for the LGI Christian Academy School Building Project continue to pour in. Yes, our dream of having a building of our own has recently taken a new and glorious direction. We are, in obedience to the word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit , building a Christian School!!!
This school building project was consecrated to the Lord at the WindWatch last October 6. Former Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno, the Building Committee Chair, gave a powerful message affirming our vision of raising a godly generation who will play an important role in nation-building. A chorus of prayer and intercession were offered unto the Lord to raise godly children who will shine like stars in this corrupt generation.
