Welcome message from the President

It has been more than 20 years now that our church & organization existed. Starting from God Is Alive Marikina to God Is Alive Jaen, Nueva Ecija until it reached many other places and established other churches unto the point that God Is Alive Cabanatuan City was also established.

Through the many years that passed, many wonderful things happened. There were good and sad memories but surely many are the joys that we had because the Lord has decided to bless us and He had been true to His promise that He’ll never leave us nor forsake us.

We were taught by the Lord to believe that whatever happens, “all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Jesus fully established our hearts to be strong and confident that all the things He begun doing in our lives, He will surely complete, until He comes (Phil.1:6). All doubts and fears banished when our Shepherd stated, “surely goodness & mercy & unfailing love shall follow us all the days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:6).

With whatever joys & sadness; pain & success; loss & victory we had in the past or we will have in the future, all these are all for gain. From good experiences we gain good memories; from bad experiences we gain good lessons. This we now know, because the Lord holds everything in His hands. And so wherever you are now, whatever situation you may have, you must rise up & stand up for Jesus & remember the admonition from Hebrews 12:12-15 “therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord; looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by this many become defiled.”


In this present generation & technology we have, it will be wise for us to utilize all things possible in order to push through the main mission that God has bestowed to us. After all, “all things were created by Him, through Him & for Him. To whom be glory forever, Amen (Romans 11:36).


These are the mission we received from Him: To seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10); to guide and convince all to repent and believe in Jesus’ Name and in believing they may have life in His Name (John 20:31); to go and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15); to go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them, teaching them to obey all…(Matthew 28:19-20); to present every man perfect in Christ (Colossians 1:28); to destroy the works of the enemy (1 John 3:8). We exist for this purpose. Real success is to accomplish the God-appointed purpose for our lives, no more, no less.


We welcome everyone to visit our website and see through the contents, primarily all the brethren that are linked & related to God Is Alive Christian Ministries at present and also to those who were with us physically in the times past.


You are always in our hearts wherever you are now, whatever situation or status you may have. Jesus loves you so much and we love you, too. You are part of our life, you are our family (spiritual family). It was God who led us to be connected and He is sovereign and He knows what’s best. Wherever you are now, we also want to inform you that after all these years we are still continuing and will continue to do the will of God, to give all our strength, with God’s help, to fulfill the ministry & to advance the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. We want to keep in touch with you and keep you updated. Hearing from you will give refreshing and strength to our hearts.


With the contents of our website are some updates of what are happening and the campaigns and ministries we are laboring. Within also are some old photos of the past, you may see yourself part of.


And to all who accidentally browsed this website, we welcome you, too. May you be blessed in anyway. For your comments, please connect to us.


Let us go on, let us not grow weary in doing good for in due season, we shall reap the reward if we do not loose heart (Galatians 6:9). There were many troubles and heaviness, tempting us to give up and surrender and there will still be ahead, but the Lord will remain good and alive forevermore. He will always lead us in triumph (1 Corinthians 15:57). But we will never forget that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church of Christ. (Matthew 16:18).


All children of God must grow to become servants of God and all servants must grow as soldiers, we are soldiers of God. We are expected to keep on fighting until the end, fight the good fight of faith. Thank you very much.


All for love & all for the glory of God,

Pastor Ferdinand Y. Gonzalez
