~JIL MB Leadership Camp~

November 22, Saturday from 8:00 to 8:00 pm: The members of Church Management Team (CMT)and the Cell Group Leaders (pilot team) traveled 30 minutes from the city to Camp Assiniboia for a Leadership Camp with the purpose / objectives of strengthening the entire leadership and receive the fresh touch of the Holy Spirit. As we desire to follow JESUS' Leadership: Lead as He Led - taken from Matthew 20:28 "...the Son of Man, did not come to be served but to serve!" Servant Leadership coupled with Team Building will justify the quotation that says:

“Talent Win Games But...Teamwork Wins Championship.”

It was a day camp filled up with excitement and joy starting from the Praise and Worship, workshops, leadership activities, strategic planning, review of the goals and plans, fellowship...commitment prayer: God did put HIS mark upon the lives of the leaders - with HIS authentication / inspiration we are ready to face the challenges ahead of us for 2009...to expand, to explore, to extend our territories here in our city: declaring that …

JESUS IS LORD OVER OUR CITY!

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work."

~ John G. Pollard~

"Successful people are successful because they form the habits of doing those things that failures don't like to do." ~ Albert Gray~

Want To Be A Leader?

To lead is to act. So act like the leader you want to be. "Example is leadership."

~Albert Schweitzer~

Dream Big -- Lead by Example & Inspire True Commitment.

God assured us with HIS word in Isaiah 42:8-9 "I am the Lord, that is my name; and My glory I will not give to another nor my praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, and the new things I declare, before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Servants of the most High God...congratulations and lets continue to work the work of the Lord outstandingly...for HIS glory!

'till next time...God bless~

JIL MB & SK "Welcomes the Musikatha Team" as "Winnipeg Welcomes the World!"

It took me awhile to post an article of the "Musikatha Team" visit in our Area (JIL Area 4 & 5).They arrived in Wpg from Ottawa morning of November 6 with the unusual weather condition - rain, wind, snow combined.We had a tour to downtown area "The Forks", got some souvenirs went to the music store ... had fun ... enjoyed the scenery of Friendly Manitoba - city of High Spirited people. With the "Worship Breakthrough" taught by Sis. Edith Mendoza, chairperson of Music Ministry of JILC, teachings during the seminar, workshops for VIA & JAM, the Word of God released to individual person during ministering / altar call - gave so much inspiration to (JIL Wpg 1 & 2, Regina and Saskatoon). We are reaping the results of the said visit to our Worship Team - Sunday Worship Services became dynamic ... experiencing ... the supernatural move of God!

"Breakthrough to Overflow!"

...all peoples WORSHIP HIS MAJESTY...

Our utmost appreciation to our leaders of having them: Sis. Edith, Paul, Dinah, Marlon, Graham, Joanne and Karmi... in our churches ...to realign, connect to the river / style of JIL Worship as a glorious church.

The "Healing and Breakthrough" Service at Hilton Hotel was great ... people received Breakthrough from Spiritual Leprosy / healing as the message was proclaimed with the demonstration of God's power backed up with Sis. Edith Mendoza personal testimony. Indeed, our God is able ... abundantly able to perform supernatural acts on our behalf ... more than we ask or think.

Once again...maraming salamat! You are in our prayers always and hope to see you next year ... by faith!

God's blessings to all...talk to you again!

Shine for JESUS...it is because of HIM!

It has been a while....but I have a good news for everybody - the most important truth: JESUS died for our sins, was buried and was resurrected on the 3rd as the scripture says (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). We attended the Billy Graham School of Evangelism (SOE) in Vancouver, BC (Waterfront) from November 11 to 13 with JIL pastors / leaders across Canada. We appreciate the generosity of Billy Graham Association for allowing us to be part of the Annual Gathering of pastors, leaders, sponsors and their scholars around the globe. It was very refreshing to hear messages from different speakers during plenary sessions and so as at the divided seminars.

The Commitment Message was taken from Exodus 3 - about the Life of Moses: His encounter with God at the burning bush. It was very inspiring to be reminded by God's promises...when God calls us He enables us: "He who calls you is faithful, and He will do it" (1 Thessalonians 5:24). Just obey what HE says and trust HIM for who HE is!

Talk to you again...soon! God's blessings and more of HIM!

JIL Regina Ministry Updates

We have our own way on how to celebrate with an intention of pleasing God in every way: As the world has their on way of celebrating October 31, we the people of God...we made it special as well. Our brethren here in JIL Regina did enjoy as they represent JESUS outside the church at "Golden Mile Bowling Lanes" , October 31. It was a family activity with popcorn & pop while everyone has given a chance to bowl ... it was fun. We had a great time together as a church - as a family. Some of the kids put on their best outfit!

Time to review / do some planning for the remaining months of the 4th quarter of 2008. The Church Management Team Members (CMT) spent time together to have a Christ honoring activity for the holiday season. As we work as one ... as a team - something came out that made us all excited. Wow...in the coming days ...we are all in expectation that greater things are about to happen in the church, our families - to all! Our God is abundantly able to do supernatural acts on our behalf!

Majority of the members of the congregation will attend the "Musikatha Worship Seminar and Workshop" on November 7-8 and the "Healing and Breakthrough Service on the 9th at Hilton Hotel - Airport. Praise the Lord!

Talk to you all soon...
