Bataan Feast

Dance Ministry

2012-02-21T04:03:00.000-08:00

I have been dancing for the Lord since I was in high school. I love dancing. I feel so fulfilled when I worship the Lord through dancing. Now, I am dancing with my two sweet daughters for the Lord. And I feel so blessed. My kids enjoy dancing, too. They even help me choreograph the dance steps. Now, we even do tambourine dancing. All for the glory of God! Life can be such a bliss! :)

Blessings Abound

2012-01-25T00:16:00.000-08:00

Blessings abound. It is true! It is all around us everyday. Waiting to be noticed. Be grateful everyday, no matter how hard it is, no matter how you are hurting, no matter how alone you feel. Because there is only one powerful truth about a blessing. It never leaves us, because the One who gives it never does.

YOU ARE BLESSED! Believe and be grateful.

Love As If This is Your Last Day on Earth

2012-01-17T19:39:00.000-08:00

"And He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”"

- Luke 10:27 ESV

I remember a story about a young girl and her playmates who wanted to find what the next town looks like. You see, they were very adventurous and loves playing in the cemetery, the back of the old church, and the old school buildings. They love fun and have such brilliant imagination. They were Ninjas today, then Hukbalahaps tomorrow. They were fairies, Japanese soldiers, super heroes, astronauts, you-name-it-it, they were it.

So, this day, as they got so very dirty from playing the whole morning, the gang decided to walk to the next baranggay. Our "bida", being the tallest group, but not the oldest declared she will be Julie Vega, and the other kids are her brothers and sisters. They are now pretending they are the "Basang Sisiw" kids. So, off they went. When they arrived at the next baranggay, they saw the barrio school there and wanted to get in but the gate was locked. They decided against it and just walked back again towards their own baranggay. They got very thristy. Our Julie Vega walked across the street to a sari-sari store. The other kids followed her. There was this middle-aged lady who were running the store and asked them where they were from. No one answered. They asked the lady for water and she gave them a pitcher and glasses. She did not only let them drink, but was too concerned where the kids will go so she kept on interviewing them. Of course, the kids were so stuck with their acting, nobody said they were not really beggars but just a playful bunch of kids. They can really play in the dirt to be mistaken for street kids who does not know how to bathe, or does not have the means to.

Why am I telling this story? Because I vividly remember the look from that middle-aged lady's eyes when she were giving us water to drink and her concern asking us where are we going to spend the night. It was so clear that it never left my mind. It was Jesus that afternoon just quenching our thirst, and enjoying talking with us little ones.

The middle-aged lady is old now. Yes, she is a Feast attendee. And yes, her daughters are my friends now. I never told her this story before so I do not know if she remembers that one summer afternoon. Maybe she does, too. And maybe, she has her own version to tell.

It was a "love someone today"experience for her, and us. After that, we went home and my playmates were happy they thought they were very good child stars able to act out the characters we decided to portray that day. I was more than happy. I felt something inside that never left my heart and memory for years. It was a feeling of peace and joy only a Jesus-bearer can give.

Today, I wanted to be a Jesus to someone. I want to bring Him to His people again. In my own little way. In own big way. As long as His love stirs the heart and brings peace to the people I will meet, see and talk to today.

And Though the Wind is Harsher

2012-01-16T21:11:00.000-08:00

Last night was stormy. I am at peace today. Thank God! I am re-arranging my room and transforming my living room into "The Reading Room". I will open this small library to the public. There are public elementary schools, high school, and some private schools around the vicinity, plus my neighborhood, that can utilize this library. It was a dream since I was a kid. I want to help inculcate the value of reading to many, especially the youth. I do not have much books, but I will try working out something so people can donate some more.

The coldness is still inside my heart, but I know that if I just keep on doing more important things, I will be fine sooner. I think I have to do more intense and longer silence and solitude.

Break Through

2012-01-16T06:40:00.000-08:00

"Magpakatao"ka muna (be a human first or be humane). I will be referring to the first English translation for this blog. Why? I was thinking of how to really bring people to Jesus. But as I ponder about it, it should be the other way around. I was gifted generously with time and talent, and hopefully soon, treasures. I got positioned into service teams because people think I have nothing to do. I actually have so many if I will prioritize earning more. But its a personal conviction to prioritize God and services before anything else, right or wrong, I believe, as I always does, that such is between me and God.

This blog would really be long, I suppose. There are so many things running through my head right now. Last night, it was almost 1am and I haven't slept a bit. It has been 6 weeks now, I think, that this thought has kept on bugging me and pinching my heart. I was wishing it would juts go away. But it has not. I felt so betrayed, and last night, I cried about it again. And I feel I cannot go on.

This morning, I was talking with one sister. She said it feels like someone stands in front, but deep inside, the person is not really okay. However, it is true that serving God should not depend on how you are feeling, but there are times when you just want to be human. Call it immature or what, but I think only those who have been hurt the most, and accepted the fact that it is human to hurt, will fully understand. Not using the excuse of "Sapagkat kamiý tao lamang", but is it not Jesus became human because God wants us to realize that despite Him being God, he became man to show us that He can truly empathize with us, weaknesses and all. I am not rationalizing on anything. Not at all. Going back to that sister's comment, a thought hit me, "the show must go on!"...showbiz?...why?....I think something must really be wrong. Is it the relationship missing? If it is, I am looking for it. I am guilty, too. I pray it will come back. But I am struggling now, I cannot comprehend what has happened to me last Nov.3 and what happened 23 days later.

I cannot write anymore yet.... I will try tomorrow. The wind is harsher today. Pray for me.

A Year of Breaking Through, A Year of Freedom

2012-01-13T19:49:00.000-08:00

Hello, brothers and sisters! It's been a long time that I have not posted any blog here. I missed you all! My very first blog for this year will invite you to a year of breaking through from all the bondage that has long imprisoned us over the years. It is time to break free. Receive the freedom God has given us thousands of years ago. We are free! It is time to claim it and live it. This is a year of total freedom. This is a year for a life fulfilled and a life of abundance. Open ourselves to the humongous blessings God so much wanted to pour unto us. This year, let us be FREE!

F - fair. I am not the only person in this world. Consider others in the world you are living in. Consider them for any decision and action you make. Be fair in all your dealings and make sure that it is for the best of everyone.

R - real. Get real! Be genuine! Be yourself and enjoy life! But be sure that there will always be a room for improvement and it is a very wise decision to grow for your own benefit and for the benefit of many. Be a blessing.

E -- enthusiastic. Be enthusiastic to share and use the talents, time, and treasures God has entrusted to you. Be generous as God is generous.

E - excited. Excitement is contagious. Be excited in spreading love and service.

God bless us all, more and more, this year, brothers and sisters! And remember, be a channel of God's blessings to many! Get out and be FREE!

A tribute to a very dear brother and a very good friend

2011-08-27T05:27:00.000-07:00

The Lord has called Bro. Larry home. I will always remember him as someone who is willing to go the second mile. I will forever be grateful to him for making me feel that I am somebody worthy. He has made my daughters feel they are important in this world. The swing that he made for them with love will always be treasured and shared.

I will miss you telling my daughter how beautiful she is, kasi kamukha ng Tatay. Kakainis ka...Hehehe... Pero okay lang, at least alam kong kakampi kita...You have made me feel my worth just by being there and just by smiling... yong mga comments mo, kahit simple, laging rock.

Mamimiss kita, Bro. Nabawasan na ang mga close ko tuloy dito sa planet earth... sabi ko nga kay Chat, pambihira, pag nag asawa mga friends ko, bandang huli, mas close ko pa mga asawa nila kaysa sa kanila hehehe...

Nakakangiti na lang ako at nakakapag joke ngayon... iniyakan kaya kita! Sus! Kita mo, naubusan tuloy ako ng Ingles sa pagkawala mo...affected ba!

Pagdasal mo ako, ha? Ibulong mo naman ako kay Lord ng sing bait mo at sing galing mo mag-alaga ng anak. (Sabay ganun, eh!) Hehehe... inaaliw ko lang sarili ko, mamimiss talaga kita...

Paano, kita-kits? Maraming salamat ulit ha? Sa lahat....

A Blessed First Anniversary!

2011-07-12T23:12:00.000-07:00

The first anniversary of Bataan Feast was a huge success. It was filled with laughter and fun. Bataenos were filled with the inspiration by Bro. Arun Gogna. It was a tremendous spiritual experience! More power to Bataan Feast! God bless you more and more!

Bataan Feast First Anniversary

2011-07-01T04:11:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow, July 2, we will be celebrating our first anniversary. It has been a tough and blessed year for us. It was not always a sunny day. The road we traveled was not so easy to pass through. We are all different people with different views in how things work or how things should be done. Despite the many years we all have been together as brothers and sisters, there are still moments when we were not in tune with one another. We have hurt, neglected, abused, fall short of showing and saying our love for one another, although we knew deep inside us that it is that love that has kept us intact in spite of all the trials around us. The truth remains the same. We are all just a flock of God's servant trying to follow God's call for us. To love and serve Him and His people, despite ourselves.

Tomorrow, only the victory of our awesome God shall surface and shine among us all and to all the Bataan servants and attendees. After all, it is in our own weaknesses and shortcomings that God's strength is more seen and glorified!

Tomorrow, once again, as God has always proven, His majesty and victory shall break forth into our lives. To Him be all glory, power, praises, and thanksgiving forever! Amen!

Happy Anniversary, Father God! Happy Anniversary, brothers and sisters!

Weekly Bataan Feast

2011-06-05T01:22:00.000-07:00

Last April, Bataan Feast started to get celebrated every week. The Lord has continuously blessed the weekly feast since then. Many people gets blessed every time they come and celebrate Jesus in the Feast. Bataan Feast has indeed been a source of joy, hope, and miracles for many Bataenos.

God is good all the time!

Superblessed Friday!

2011-03-26T05:51:00.000-07:00

The house was "actually" rocking with praise and worship singing and dancing last night at the Bataan Feast. One sister exclaimed it was like she watched a jam packed concert at the Araneta. Grabe and energy!

A new attendee shared at the retreat this morning that it was her first time to attend a Feast lat night. She said that as she was going up the venue, she felt her body sensing the place so filled with the Holy Spirit. She narrated that as the worship was going on, she really felt so happy with the singing and dancing, and felt so much at peace. When she got home, she still can feel the love and joy she experienced at the Feast.

The talk of Bro. Carl Fontanilla, 6th of the OMG Series where he discussed about God's love summarizing all that He is to us, being a Father, Healer, Provider, Defender, and Protector sums up to only one thing. That He is Love. Many were touched and experienced healing and renewed strength as Bro. Carl ministered to the assembly with his inspiring prayers and a solemn worship. This was followed by another "tsunami" effect joyful song claiming that Jesus is the only way to the Father and to experiencing a love so overwhelming.

On April, we will hold the Feast weekly. With God's grace, more people will be super blessed and will be able to experience Jesus, fresh every time. See you on April 8 for the next awesome Feast Bataan.

Tahanan ng Ilaw

2011-03-24T18:42:00.000-07:00

We held our very first Bataan Feast at our new home, Tahanan ng Ilaw last March 11, 2011. It was a dream come true. We now have a home to call our own. It was an overwhelming feeling holding our worship at this lovely place. It was overflowing with brothers and sisters who joined us in celebrating the Feast and experiencing once again the abundant joys and blessings God generously showered upon all of us. Thank you, Lord.

We're moving to a new home

2011-02-15T02:45:00.000-08:00

This 2011 is proving itself a really wonderful year. We started this year with Kerygma Feast happening twice a month from the previous once a month gathering we were holding last year. Many attendees became regular in coming to the event every other week. Last February 11, Bro. Rudy graced the gathering by giving a truly inspiring talk. It was a source of hope to many who listened to that talk. One attendee sent me a text message saying she was very thankful she attended, it was her first time. She said that she has lots of problems, and the talk almost made her cry many times because she was feeling rather hopeless. But the talk renewed her strength. The talk is about God being our Great Provider. And indeed He is. He has provided LOJ-Pilar with so many blessings the last 6 months we were holding the Kerygma Feast.We were able to buy musical instruments, amplifiers, pay for the rental of the venue, feed the guests, among others. Some volunteered to help out in the Worship Ministry, set up committee, and food committee. A priest has also been very generous in giving his time to celebrate the Holy Mass. Oh, so many big and small blessings.

The venue we were holding the event now is to be used as a government office. Again, the Lord proved His faithfulness by giving us a new place, all to our own, which we can utilize everyday and not just on Feast days. We can put all LOJ-Pilar's things there now. We can use the place for CG meetings, Worship Ministry practices, etc. And the Lord gave it to us at a price we can safely afford. It is also more accessible to attendees being located at the national road of our town. God is great.I think we will call it Tahanan ng Ilaw.

And yes, we are now Feast Bataan. Yipee... God is awesome. ;]

KERYGMA FEAST IN BATAAN

2010-09-25T21:45:00.001-07:00

EVERY FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH, KERYGMA FEAST WILL BE HELD AT THE BATAAN GOVERNMENT CENTER AT 4PM. SINCE IT STARTED FOUR MONTHS AGO, MANY PEOPLE ARE ALREADY BEING BLESSED BY THE LORD. ONE TEACHER GOT HIS US VISA APPROVED JUST DAYS AFTER HE ATTENDED THE EVENT AND PRAYED FOR HIS VISA. A MISSIONARY NUN SAYS THAT SHE IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO JOIN THE EVENT BECAUSE SHE GETS INSPIRED EVERY TIME. SICKNESSES HEALED, JOBS FOR JOBLESS PEOPLE COME, NEW FRIENDS ARE GAINED, HAPPY FACES AND SMILES, LIVELY LAUGHTERS, AND INSPIRED TEARS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE DURING EACH FEAST. GOD IS MARVELOUS1

BATAAN’S KERYGMA FEAST – FULFILLING THE DREAM

2010-09-25T21:40:00.000-07:00

On July 2, 2010, a dream unfolded before the eyes of more than 200 Bataeños, the dream of having a Kerygma Feast in this side of the country. Most of these attendees would go to Manila to attend a Feast at the Valle Verde Country Club or the big events in ULTRA and at the Araneta Coliseum just to experience the fulfilling buffet of blessings.

The people that God used for this event are the brothers and sisters at the Light of Jesus – Ilaw ng Panginoon, Pilar Chapter. They started as Ilaw ng Kabataan when they first experienced having a personal relationship with Jesus during a 3-day retreat on August 30, 31, and September 1, 1984 at Baptist Camp, Lucanin, Mariveles, Bataan. It was spearheaded by Bro. Archie Inlong from the Ligaya ng Panginoon Community. It all started the walk of faith of these young people, whose name was later changed to Ilaw ng Panginoon, because they’re not getting any younger anymore, hindi na bagay tawaging kabataan. Kidding aside, they were called such because they are growing in numbers ranging from different age groups. On December 11-12, 2002, the leaders’ team attended the retreat by Bro. Bo Sanchez, Deepening the Anchors of Your Spiritual Life in Angels’ Hill Retreat Center, Tagaytay City. God worked His ways through this retreat for the community. This was the time LOJ was starting to affiliate with Catholic Communities from the provinces; a very timely answer to the leaders’ prayers then on what direction should the community take as it was going through a dry time of the spirit and service of the members. On March 2, 2003, Ilaw ng Panginoon Community graduated as Class 100 from the Life in the Spirit Seminar at the Panilao Elementary School, Pilar, Bataan, through the guidance of Bro. Lando Galinato, acting chapter head then, and Bro. Roy Pasimio, elder for mission.

We had our very first Kerygma Feast in Bataan on December 3, 2005 at the People’s Center, City of Balanga, Bataan. It was a well attended event and the preachers who gave awesomely inspiring talks were Bro. Obet Cabrillas, Bro. Jon Escoto, and no less than Bro. Bo Sanchez. Bishop Socrates Villegas celebrated the Holy Mass.

During this time when the Light of Jesus Family is envisioning Feasts to happen at different parts of the world to reach out to more people and let them experience the abundant blessings this gathering provides, LOJ – Ilaw ng Panginoon, Pilar Chapter through God’s grace and faithful providence took the bold step of starting a Kerygma Feast in Pilar, at least once a month for now. It was not easy, but God’s love for us and our love for one another, as well as the heart of service God enkindled in our hearts has made this event possible despite all the hardships and struggles. Nevertheless, the July 2, 2010 Kerygma Feast proved all these pains as nothing compared to the joy and victory of being superblessed at this prayer gathering. God is goodإ

TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS….

2010-09-25T21:39:00.000-07:00

An average life span of a Filipino is 66 years of age. That is how long we are expected to live the lives God has given us. It has been two months now since we are holding a monthly Kerygma Feast in Bataan. To prepare for this event, I was glad to be given the task to lead the Worship Ministry. A lot of blessings, and blessings in disguise were showered on my feet. One of the magnificent blessings is that I was reunited with two old friends from my younger years, Elison and Junjun. We were together as members of the choir of el shaddai, pilar chapter. I was one of the singers, Elison was the lead guitarist AND junjun is the bass guitarist. We were not ‘seriously’ close then, maybe because we were still young. That was when KIsap MATA was still played on the air. You can guess how young we still are today. ;0
When we were preparing to establish a band for the FEAST, I thought of contacting these two to help out and play their respective instruments. During our first practice, we saw how much have we changedإ And how we have not.
I remembered very well how ELison told me how thankful he was that he will be able to play again for the Lord. HE missed it so much, he said. All those years we have not sang at El Shaddai, he has spent his talent and time singing in bars, weddings, and gigs, to help his supportive wife make ends meet. I saw in his eyes how much he has really missed singing for the Lord. I saw how through his musical abilities, we were able to put up the band. He patiently arranged the music and taught the other instrumentalists who are not yet very well-versed in playing their instruments. The usual Eli, he always wanted to play and sing the best he can for the Lord.

One time, a sister encouraged him to play more for the LORD’S service adding that the Lord will give him more gigs that will add to his income. The first monthly feast, he was not able to play because he was operated on his appendix. After that, he continued helping out with the practice and was so really eager to play during the feast. Before the AUGUST 7 feast, an unlikely incident happened. HE Was shot on the bar he was singing and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. It was a big shock to all of us. It is not enough to say it was so sad.

Elison was there to help us put up the band but he never actually got to play on the events. During the FUNERAL mass, the deacon who gave the last blessings for him said how Elison will now be playing endlessly in heaven. That’s just what he wants to do anyway. And that sister was right. The Lord gave him more gigs…in heaven.

We will always appreciate the enormous contributions he has made for the Worship MINistry. His musical talent will always be remembered. He will always be an inspiration to us. Eli, play on….

Thinking of him while writing this article, I remembered how he thought the days he played for the Lord were his best days, I asked myself what were the best days of my life. And I remembered the verse above. Teach us Lord to number our days, that we may always live each one for You alone.

A FRIEND IS ONE WHO STICKS LIKE A BROTHER … [An open letter to the core group of LOJ-Pilar]

September 10, 2010
10; 00PM

I always wanted to write you notes of thanks, affirmation, love, caring, or simply just tell you that you crossed my mind at a particular day, just like I used to often do. As far as I can remember, when you were asked to describe me using one adjective, most of you would choose ‘thoughtful’. And indeed, I was. When I was still studying in Manila, even though during weekends I am in Bataan to be with you, I still write you letters, kahit kahapon lang, maghapon naman na tayong magkakasama sa prayer meeting, at minsan, hanggang sa hapunan pa nga. And you write back. When I have some extra allowance, I buy small things like cards, posters, pamusod, anything, just to show you that I thought of you, that I appreciate you and your friendship.

I am already tucked in bed but can’t sleep. I am thinking of you, like I always do. You know I was not that close to my family. I have always assessed why I was not, and somehow I managed to answer why, and how I still wish and try to be close to them. You were and still are my second family. I have been with you since I was 14, and now that I am 18, [20 years ago], we are still together serving the Lord. Awesomeإ And I hope we grow old together [I don’t have someone yet to tell that to, kaya sa ‘yo na lang, hehehe]. You know my hurts, my pains, my dreams, my ‘sumpong’. You know my love story and how it will end up with the flies at the box office should it be made into a movie. You were there when I made huge mistakes and how I managed to get up, and how I still am trying to put things at their proper places. As an old cliché, if you want to know who your true friends are, make a mistake. You were there to fix my daughter’s broken bike, make a pulley so I won’t have to pay for therapy anymore and just do my own therapy to care for my broken humerus. You were there to bathe me because I cannot do it myself because of the cast in my arm. When someone somehow was unfair to me, you were there complaining for me because I was deeply hurt I do not have the energy anymore to complain for myself. You were there so I can have a shoulder to cry on. You sang to me ‘ sa isang ngiti ko lang, limot mo na’ whatever it is I did to upset you. You were there to help me find a job which I would later resign to because I cannot stand my boss. You were there to just make lambing to. You were there to lend me some money when I am so broke. You were there to give me my most loved ice cream flavor. You know how brave I was, and how I oftentimes use that courage in bringing myself to trouble. ;] And through most of my mala-Dawn Zulueta’s acting, you were there. And I guess, most of all, you know how much I love you. MARAMING MARAMING SALAMATإ

Beside those stuff, I am writing you today to tell you that I thank God enormously that He has made you part of my life, and how He has made me part of yours. I cannot imagine how our lives would be if we did not have one another. I believe our lives would never have been better without one another’s name on the cast. As we always said, ‘ONCE AN ILAW, ALWAYS AN ILAWإ’ Sometimes, it gets me to thinking that the line is insufficient just to describe how much we have loved one another as brothers and sisters. Today, maybe, we don’t see each other as often as I wish we could. And it makes me long for the old times. Kaso, mas tahimik na din naman talaga ako ngayon. Nagdalaga na kasi ;] … I suppose I cannot tell you many stories like I used to, I am more of a listener now, I presume. Or sometimes, I just like to think of all the things you say to me. Or maybe, sometimes, I wish you would just ask me how I am, and not just the ministry I handle. Deduce it to say, I guess I just miss you and all the light and happy moments together. Well, people grow, sometimes they grow together, and in some aspects, they grow apart. I deem it doesn’t really matter that much as long as we know deep in our hearts that we will remain special to one another. And we are the elders now; first and foremost, we have services to lovingly do. Should the time comes we will be the spectators, I hope we can have more time then to laugh together like we used to do. But for now, suffice it to say that precisely, this letter is all about you now being a leader. Do not fear that your rewards in heaven will be subtracted should I honor you now. Heaven has a lot of that in store for you, I’m sure. IN SPITE OF ALL THE TRIALS, HARDSHIPS, MISUNDERSTANDINGS, MISCOMMUNICATION, FATIGUE, PROBLEMS, YOU KEPT ON SERVING, UNDERSTANDING AND LOVING JUST THE SAME. DESPITE THAT, WE DEFINITELY HAD LOTS OF SMILES, LAUGHS AND LESSONS DOING OUR TASKS. And let me just tell you that with all the many companies I worked for, and all the different types of people I have met in my life, I have never worked with somebody as effective, creative, talented, committed, dedicated, and as much as loving as you. IT’S THE BIG DIFFERENCE. Press on…

Thank you for the love, service, brotherhood, and friendship…you will always be a special part of me, it’s one of your favorite songs, di ba ;] I LOVE YOUإ

FILLED TO THE MAX!

July 2 Kerygma Feast in Bataan was AN EVENT! More than 2oo hundred people blssed and was filled not only with spiritual blessings, but with new friends and an spiritual family. LOJ Pilar members were awed by how God worked in this event. The lead guitarist was operated (appendectomy) three days before the event and the Worship Ministry Leader got the flu two days before also. Other minor problems occur too. But God is an awesome God working miracles one after another. And indeed, during the event, we were blessed with a very wise priest who gave a vey inspiring yet funny homily, the music ministry played the songs rather well, the preacher (Bro. Pio Espanol) gave a wonderful and albeit timely talk. The audience was not only entertained by his jokes, but was so filled with spiritiual wisdom. Everybody did his thing as if it is his second nature. Well, that's how God's family serves together...

It was really a buffet of blessing!
