Outreach, Summer School of Music and Dance, Teachers Camp Ministry!

hello there guys! it's been a long time since i've published a post. I just would like to share to you about the outreach in St. James, Batal, it's been handled by Ptr. Jimmar together with his wife Sis. Che, I've seen that the place has many potentials. but 1st i would like to inform you what is outreach. outreach is like a sunday service type, where they will have their senior pastor, assistant pastor, youth pastor and many other wherein the members of the main church will be the workers in the outreach, and the leaders of the church who's been a part of the core group will be the senior pastor, and on the core group of the youth department will be the youth pastor for the outreaches! very exciting huh?! :D, we will reach our goal! and i believe that we will saturate Santiago, not by our own might, but by the Spirit of the Lord!

I also would like to share to you about the coming Summer School of Music and Dance! this will be held on summer (of course it's entitled Summer School of Music and Dance, haha) we've started the screening and registration last sunday, but nobody attended. mmmmmm... we're hoping that God will bring the right person at the right time and in the right place! to be honest i'm not excited with this event. but i'm more excited for the coming Teachers Camp Ministry this coming summer! whooooo! i'm very excited for this event! i want to go deeper to my faith. and to have an intimate relationship with God!

That's it folks! hope you've been blessed as i also been blessed! mind to put some comments for any reactions, i would accept it and will be taking it as an advice! God Bless!

Theatre For Christ!

Hello there guys! This week has been a very tough week for us in doing lots of stuff to glorify the name our Lord Jesus Christ! I don’t know how to start but I’ll try to summarize all things up! On January 31, 2009, we’ve had our production & launching of THEATRE FOR CHRIST! The pastors say’s that it’s a job well done! Praise God! Young People from the Main and daughter churches participated to this event, maybe we are around 40 or more… it’s very tiring but we know it’s worth it! We’ve started the presentation at about 6:00 pm, the 1st part is about the CREATION wherein it show’s how God made all things according to His plans, after creation comes along the fall of men wherein it show’s how man sinned against God! After that Pastor James Aquino shared about the fall of man and say’s because of sin we don’t have any hope to hear and see Him, even though God wants to embrace us, be with us, walk with us and talk with us!

The 2nd part is the about the BIRTH OF JESUS wherein it shows that God choose Mary to give birth of Jesus, after the birth of Jesus comes along the crucifixion of Jesus and the DEFEAT OF SATAN! then Pastor Winston shared about how God sent His only Begotten Son to die for YOU and ME! It say’s in John 3:16 – “For Go so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, That whoever Believes in Him Shall not perish but have eternal life” even though we have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God he still cares for us, loves us and is willing to give His only Son to die for us! God did not send Jesus to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him!

The 3rd part is the curtain call, and every cornerstone churches who joined the TFC will be presenting their dances! The 1st who danced is the Cornerstone San Isidro and they danced the shackles, the next is Cornerstone Naggasican and they danced the Revolution, and the Cornerstone Santiago danced the Joyful Joyful! After those things all the performers, together with the production and staff danced! Then we watched a surprise video on the making of TFC and it’s rehearsal, there are also some bloopers! Haha, I’ll be posting the video soon! Thank you for reading, please also leave a comment! Here are some blogs who will be posting the events! Mind to visit on of them!

WE ACT… WE SING… WE DANCE…

MAKING JESUS FAMOUS!

Must see!

IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER INTO WINE...

IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT NORMAL CONCEPCION...

IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN...

IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD...

IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS...

IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END...

IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM...

SO, WHO IS HE? HE IS JESUS!

IN GOD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING!

THE GREATEST MAN IN HISTORY JESUS HAD NO SERVANTS, YET THEY CALLED HIM MASTER!

HAD NO DEGREE, YET THEY CALLED HIM TEACHER!

HAD NO MEDICINES, YET THEY CALLED HIM HEALER!

HAD NO ARMY, YET KINGS FEARED HIM!

HE WON NO MILITARY BATTLE, YET HE CONQUERS THE WORLD!

HE COMMITTED NO CRIME, YET THEY CRUCIFIED HIM!

HE WAS BURIED IN A TOMB, YET HE LIVES TODAY!!!

I FEEL HONORED TO SERVE SUCH A LEADER WHO LOVE US!

MY TESTIMONY

I am John Thomas B. Mangadap, when I was at the age of 16 my father asked me to go to Cornerstone Church Service together with my brothers and some friends who used to play Aikido. It was August 29, 2004 in the morning (Launching of Cornerstone Church Santiago) and on that day I’ve accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, by the 1st time we attended, we were entertained by Ptr. Winston Bao-in the Youth Pastor of CCS and he introduced us to some of the youth and has been a part of the youth group. then some pastors asked us if we want to play the musical instruments and join the Worship Ministry, We only started picking little pieces of trash after service and arranged the chairs after service, and as time goes by, every after class we go to clean the church together with Kuya Daben, Dan dan and Micko. And now, God uses us in the Worship Ministry and in the Youth Ministry, Dan dan is now playing the drums and is now studying in the bible school, micko is now playing the bass guitar and still studying, Kuya Daben is now playing the guitar and is now our Youth Pastor, and I am playing now the Keyboard and just finished school and asking the will of the Lord if He wants me to go fulltime to the church, I may not have given all the details of what God has done in our lives but I know that He has greater plans in my life. even to your life! God Bless!

WOW!

Hello guys! We've been very blessed by the presence of God this evening! i just couldn't express it! wow! whooo! i just would like to post what happened this night! every thursday night we are having our music practice for the youth and sunday service, but then, this night is very different, I've seen that everybody is doing his/her stuffs, playing the guitar, playing the drums, the bass and some other stuffs, and I really sense that there is no unity within each other, so i get some chairs, put it infront of the stage and call all of them to have our devotion. After we have our opening prayer I ask them " How are you?" then we started to share about our life, especially our spiritual life, then as time goes by, we sense that we need to worship the Lord, and as we start to sing songs of worship, the Spirit of the Lord fell down on everyone of us and we've started to speak in tounges, we started to pray and offer everything to the Lord, and we started to feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit in our life, then Ptr. Daben told us that we need to repent to the Lord, then everybody started to ask forgiveness to the Lord! after that we feel that we need to pray for each other and speak blessing upon each other. and after all those things we thank the Lord for all He has done in our lives! Thank God! just couldn't express it! whoooooo! thank for reading!

God Bless! Thank You Lord!
