FOCUS IS THE STRENGTH 

CHANGE YOUR VIEW, FILL IT WITH GOD’S PERSPECTIVE... DONT DENY THE PAIN, GET POSITIVITY OUT OF IT...

LIFEGROUP 01.21.2020

“Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes deep. Isaiah 54:2

First, we must reject smallness. Enlargement requires us to get out of our small boxes, our small routines, our small thinking and our limited view of God. 

- cut useless thoughts
- don’t entertain unnecessary mindset
- remove unproductive thinking

LIFE GROUP 01.07.2020

We stepped into the year 2020 with a grateful heart! We salute you for your commitment, dedication and presence... as your leaders, it’s our joy to go out from our comfort zones in meeting with you weekly as we do our LIFE GROUP anywhere & anytime. Be reminded that God doesn't do greater things exclusively through great people. He does them through anyone who is willing to trust Him in greater ways.

* Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19

MALIGAYANG PASKO PO SA INYONG LAHAT!!!

​

Our God is a God of wonders! From the moment we wake up til we lay our head on bed at night, His faithfulness and goodness surrounds us. Every breath and strength comes from Him and without Him we are nothing. When the angels greeted the shepherds on a field one night, they said “DO NOT BE AFRAID, we bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people.” 2019 is almost done and 2020 is approaching. Be reminded that Jesus is Savior and Lord, like a star, waiting for people to look at Him and have hope. Hope that there will be a better future in store, that the next year will be brighter and greater, that no matter what challenges and difficulties you face, you will overcome when Jesus is with you! The peace that passes beyond understanding will be with you when you learn to cast your cares upon Him and bring all your anxieties in His throne of grace.

There are bad days and good days but learn to focus on the good ones! Be thankful at all times. Surely, His goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life!

​

We are done with our entire Footwashers Harvest Event & Christmas Celebration last Sunday & it was a big bang - complete package with SUYNL, a Miracle Healing, Giving of Gifts to the children, 1kilo of Rice, Dinner & Sunday Service!!! Now, it’s the turn for our primary leaders to be appreciated, recognized & given gifts... our very own Annual Christmas celebration!

UNIVERSITY OF MINDANAO 11.26.2019

​

So blessed and inspired by your words this morning when you shared at the Baccalaureate service for Evangelical learners of the UM College Graduating Batch 2019. We were reminded that when we are filled with a grateful and thankful heart, there is less room for murmurs and envy. The more time we thank the Lord for the good things, the less time we have left to weep over the bad things.

​

“A thankful heart is the attitude of a productive life. It is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.”

LIFEGROUP 01.28.2020 TUESDAY

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ROMANS 12:11-12

- BE COURAGEOUS as you keep doing the ministry for God. Never allow discouragements, distractions & disturbances to hinder the calling for they are part of the package in life. At times, you gain strength from those challenges. Ups & downs are part of the journey called LIFE!

“Behave in accordance to God’s value because not all good things are right, but all right things under God is definitely good.”

12.28.2019 BAGUIO CITY ESCAPADE

​

A day spent outdoors, enjoying parks, nature and a cool weather with the entire family. This was at Wright Park, Baguio City , where the children had fun riding horses for an hour! Thank you Lord for a beautiful day well spent, three days before the beginning of another year!

​

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28

About last night 12.23.2019 Dinner time...

​

never allow a day to pass by without thanking the Lord for His goodness. Nothing brings greater joy to the heart of a person than to see people pursue the purpose of God in their lives. It was another day to meet & hangout with each other... a time of encouragement that reminded us to be excited for 2020 because greater things are yet to come with the guidance of the Lord! We will support each other in prayer and take time to meet again! Maayo ka Ginoo!!! (Can't wait sa among dula2x next...)

12.17.2019 Another opportunity to share God’s goodness & be reminded of the existence in this life. To have friends are not about having a lot of money but having a heart of genuine. This time, we tackled more about business, marriage, & the purpose of life. I was so glad that one of us mentioned that through the long hours of chitchatting, we did not gossip about other people but just purely had life talks and about the Lord! Praying that this will continue to grow not just in our social life but spiritual life above all...more to come!

ALL BECAUSE OF HIS AMAZING GRACE

It has been many years ago (Sheng was 3 and Nette was just born) when we just tagged them along with us to FACC, Freechapel, Northpoint and Passion City churches to join different services when we still lived in the US. I can vividly remember the day when I prayed over and laid my hands on Reychelle when we attended one of the Hillsong United gatherings in Alpharetta. She took off her shoes and just worshiped on her own. I declared that one day when she grows up, she will be a God chaser & a worship leader/musician. She and her sister really loved to sing and worship even as little girls. We have prayed then and are still praying that the Lord will use them mightily in every way for their generation. It was a special Sunday indeed 12.08.2019. Sheng lead worship yesterday morning while Nette played the drums (unplanned coz one of the music team members got sick).

Then, I was unexpectedly assigned to preach too since our Senior Pastor had to go to Digos City for another church celebration. I was teary eyed seeing my daughters stepping into the plan God has prepared for them. As for Reynelle who is 5 right now, we declare that she will accomplish even greater things! His faithfulness and goodness endures forever! For Minette and I, parenting is not just about providing things now & their future, it’s also about seeing their potential, purpose & providing for their spiritual needs as well... being a role model where passion for God & compassion for people abides. All glory and honor belongs to God...

In addition, during our Footwashers’ Network harvest event in the afternoon, Reychelle & Reynette played & lead worship while Minette preached the word. What a meaningful & fruitful day for us as a family. We are excited for more to come... MAAYO KA GINOO!!!

When a chain holds you back, separates you, blocks you, from walking into an open space full of opportunity and beauty, you’ll miss your chance of living a better life in His purpose and plan. Don’t stay rooted on the wrong side of the chained fence. Walk in His freedom and live in His love to experience the beauty and purpose He has for you.

HAPPY SUNDAY 01.26.2020

An opportunity for us to minister in one of our House Churches in Ciudad de Esperanza during their 1st Anniversary celebration.

BCC YOUTH RELOAD 01.10.2020

“A man who has great vision can be great, but a man who has God’s vision is ANOINTED and POWERFUL!!! A man who has direction is strong, but a man who has God’s direction is UNSTOPPABLE!” - Reychelle Lagat

​

Praying that as young as you are, you will continue to chase God & His presence. Do not cease to believe for a transformation in our nation... to have spirit empowered leaders for Christ! Do not allow the spirit of complacency or good enough mentality to rule your mind, rather, be fiery & be courageous in pursuing the heart beat of God. Be passionate in stepping into the greater life of influence God has prepared & called you to do. Be focused on the things for God... YOU ARE FORMED WITH A PURPOSE FOR HIS PURPOSE!

12.25.2019 CHRISTMAS DAY!

Celebrating the season with dear friends in a very natural & substantial time... PICNIC TIME! It was good to just get some fresh air and sweat a bit since food during holidays are truly in abundance. A short badminton game, a few runs with some talks about life, health, family, business and travel was just nice accompanied by snacks and a yummy spaghetti. Thank you for the short time well spent Fellowshipping & building each other up in the Lord! Excited for greater days ahead!

God is a God of seasons... do more for Him than simply exist! When you understand that He is indeed the God of seasons it prepares you to do the right thing at the right time with His right guidance & it inspires you to keep walking the path He ordained for you. After our Sunday service this morning 12.22.2019, a bunch of our fellow BCCians took the opportunity to have photos with PJ Simon & Jehza, who really came after we invited them last week over a dinner fellowship at Monte Maria. We then had lunch with them and it was another privilege where we discussed more plans on what to do next in reaching out to other friends and families & do more Life Groups... excited for more to come! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

​

​

When I told the kids that we are going to have a gathering again with Yan Mamba & PJ “Nonoy” Simon (PBA The Scoring Apostle) together with their wives, they were ecstatic to meet them especially the Binibining Pilipinas Miss Supranational Jehza. I reminded them that they have to value the gift of friendship because it cannot be bought with a price or any material things. So thankful that even if they are on the top of their careers, they still remained humble and kept old friendships alive. Moreover, we were so glad to share the same desire of telling people how good the Lord truly is and that Jesus loves us! indeed, twas a time of reminiscing the good old days... more to come!!!

12.08.2019 HARVEST EVENT OF FOOTWASHERS... one network, one team & one dream... fulfilling the given vision to bring glory to God’s name. We are still in the journey of creating a momentum in raising up disciple making disciples! We are motivated to multiply leaders not members... not by might nor by power but by the leading of the Spirit of God. We were more than 250 in attendance but we are more focused on the after event which is to consolidate & do the process correctly. Minette & I are very proud & blessed with our leaders who sacrificially & consistently commit themselves into the vision of winning souls & making disciples despite their busy schedules, challenges & families to take care of. WE ARE THANKFUL and GRATEFUL for 2019; under 1 network - 3 SATELLITE CHURCHES (Ulas, Toril, & Boulevard). 8 HOUSE CHURCHES (Mabini, Isla Verde, Agdao, Sasa, Panorama, Mincor-Ma-A, Matina, & Ciudad Esperanza)... more to come! We are relationship-driven, in love we serve! To God be all the glory!
