Be still

Tough times had hit us in the past week.

Super typhoon Rolly whipped the nation last October 31st leaving blown-off roofs, causing flash floods, power outages, damage to infrastructure, blocked roads, almost 400 thousand evacuees, and even some dead people due to catastrophic winds and rains. Rolly hit the main Luzon Island particularly Catanduanes, Albay and Manila. And while the storm was still wreaking havoc the next day, a fire at night razed the 400 homes in a fisherfolk community in Bacoor, Cavite reclamation zone. It took four hours before the fire was put out.

JIL Church St. Francis Square Grand Opening

October 16, 2014

The Jesus Is Lord (JIL) Church Worldwide is delighted to announce the opening of a new house of worship dedicated to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be at the very heart of Metro Manila, standing proudly in the very midst of the hustle and bustle of the Ortigas financial and central business district.

Housed in a building dubbed as “a masterpiece of visual symmetry,” the Jesus Is Lord Church St. Francis Square is located at 3rd Floor St. Francis Square Mall Julia Vargas Ave cor. Bank Drive, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City, Philippines. With its elegant design and smart interiors, one is tempted to think that it was designed to attract business. But instead of attracting businesses of any sort, it is now meant to attract souls…people who have forever sought Peace, Joy and Blessings. With this newest house of worship are both opportunity and responsibility to bring God nearer to those who seek Him.

Come and worship with us on October 26, Sunday, 9 A.M., and together, let us meet Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the Fullness of Joy and the Blessed, the King of kings and Lord of lords!

Mark your calendars. Then come and be blessed!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

The leadership of the JESUS IS LORD CHURCH WORLDWIDE holds steadfast to the following principles:

  • That there must be UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST even amidst differences in minor theological presuppositions and worship expressions;
  • That there must be DUE PROCESS in dealing with all pastors, leaders, workers and members who have issues in the ministry;
  • That there must be FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE TO EXPRESS his/her beliefs in the RIGHT AVENUES with honesty and courtesy.

It is in view of these principles that the JIL leadership refutes all accusations based on information that have been blown out of proportion and are propagated in social media sites. Plain and simple, these are all LIES AND DECEPTIONS spread by people whose aim is to hinder the JILCW from fulfilling its mission to glorify God. Yet, we firmly believe that such pursuits can never uproot that which the Living God Himself has planted and nurtured for the last 35 years. In reality, these are all meaningless efforts inevitably leading to self-destruction, because no malicious undertaking can ever overpower the work of the Almighty God in this precious ministry born from His very Heart.

The deepest prayer of the entire JIL Church Worldwide is that we may end all attempts to hinder the furtherance of the Kingdom of the Living God, especially these insignificant issues which are not even worthy of attention, so that His precious ministry may continue to fulfill its mission to bring all peoples to the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Note:

Should there be any valid need to further inform the Body of Christ and other religious organizations regarding this matter, the JIL LEADERSHIP will release official statements containing the truth about the former leaders who left their positions without subjecting themselves to organizational protocols and who are now spreading false accusations and unfounded questions against the church.
