Beloved Brethren,
Tuloy ang pag ikot ng mundo at pag agos ng panahon, isang pasko na naman at bagong taon ang lumipas at dumating. Hindi natin maiwasan na alalahananin ang lahat ng nangyari ng 2009, mga ginawa natin at mga ginawa sa atin ng iba....mga prayers at good desires natin na tinugon ng Panginoon. Sinusukat din natin yung pagtaas ng antas ng success na ating naabot sa 2009...success na may kinalaman sa mission na pinagagawa sa atin ng ating Panginoon, at syempre maaalala natin ang mga tao at mga pangyayari na ginamit ni Lord na makatulong at naging mga kabalikat natin sa gawain ng Diyos. Sa Kaharian ng Diyos nag set up si Lord at nag pre appoint sya ng team at partnership para magtulong-tulong sa katuparan ng ibat iba Nyang mga plano at layunin. Tuloy tayo at walang dapat maging hadlang. ...John 4:34. Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Sinabi rin ng Panginoon "watch & pray"...be alert, discern the situations, understand the times..." maraming mga natural calamities at earthquakes, naka prophesy ito na mangyayari (Matt 24) earthquakes in various places...our role as sons of God ay lumago to become servants of God, hanggang maging soldiers of God...hindi tyo dapat matakot Jesus will come to deliver us from the wrath that will come to earth, & God did not appoint us to wrath but to salvation (1 Thess 1 & 5)...Jihn 14 says I will go to prepare a place in heaven, when everything is ready, I will come again & receive you to Myself, so that where I am you will be there also...These are the 4 major points of our faith= JESUS DIED,...JESUS LIVES,...JESUS REIGNS,...JESUS WILL COME AGAIN...habang wala pa si Lord, nandito pa tayo sa mundo to become servants & soldiers of the Lord...we all have work & mission to fully accomplish.....kapag natapos ang isa project ni Lord meron uli at uli at uli, hanggang dumating Siya...dapat tayong matuwa kung patuloy na may pinagagawa sa atin si Lord ibig sabihin tayo ay kinalulugdan nyang mga alipin, dahil kung hindi sisante na tayo sa Kaharian Niya...Sa Acts 12 & 13, ay nag report si Pablo at Silas bumalik sa headquarters pagkatapos nilang ma accomplish ang misyon o project at doon sa kanilang pagsamba at pananalangin ay nangusap uli ang Holy Spirit at nagbigay ng panibagong misyon sa kanila kayat sumunod muli at humayo...ang mga misyon ay kaugnay ng pinaka layunin ng Diyos, iligtas ang mga ligaw na kaluluwa at dalhin ang mga tupa sa kawan at tahanan ng Panginoon.sila'y alagaan at sanayin at at gawin ding mga lingkod at sundalo ng Diyos...at iyan ang patuloy nating ginagawa at pinagsisikapan gawin ng ating church dito sa Pilipinas. Kaya't nawa ay patuloy tayong magbalikatan at huwag magsawa sa bagay na ito. Gawin natin ng kumpleto, buong puso at masagana ang mga nais ng Diyos. Rev 22 Narito akoy madaling darating, at dala ko ang mga gantimpalang ipagkakaloob sa bawat isa ayon sa kanyang mga ginawa." Gawin natin ang lahat sa paraang ikaluligod at ikararangal ng Diyos, gawin ang lahat dahil mahal natin SIYA....Sa kasalukyan tuloy ang ating pag aalabga sa mga tupa, tuloy ang pangangaral at pagtuturo sa ibat ibang lugar,malayo at malapit, pag abot sa mga dukha at mga maliliit na bata na kapos sa edukasyon at materyal na bagay, tuloy ang pagtulong sa mga nakabilanggo, at pag abot sa mga kabataan, mga pagsasanay at pag re -recruit ng mga maglilingkod sa Panginoon...tuloy syempre ng mga pagsamba at mga prayer warriors sa dakilang gawain...Sa ngayon nga pala last week ng Feb at at 1st week of March ang ating 23rd church anniversary celebration, dahil nagtitipid tayo sa ngayon dahil sa mga bayarin ay minabuti namin na pagsabayin na ang family day outing at anniversary celebration simple na lamang sa isang resort sa March 20, kasama nito ang ating water baptism...we are commanded to "preach the gospel, he who believes and is baptized will be saved..." ...At sa darating na April 29 to May 9 ay hinilingan ako ng gawain natin sa God Is Alive Hong Kong na dumalaw sa kanila for reinforcement at encouragement sa kanila, maganda ang nagyayari sa kanila lumalago at umuunlad, syempre kaakibat nito ang mga suliranin kaya dadalawin ko sila, isasama ko ngayon ang aking maybahay para makapasyal naman siya at maka kain ng pansit doon.Please continue to support our work here in your prayers and everything that the Lord is leading you to do...WE WILL TOGETHER CONTINUE TO SHOUT TO THE WORLD THAT JESUS SAVES!, JESUS HEALS!, JESUS PROVIDES!, JESUS EMPOWERS!......MATTHEW 24:14 " & THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED INTO ALL THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS AND THEN THE END SHALL COME"...THIS IS OUR WORK AND DUTY UNTIL HE COMES.

All for the love & glory of God,
Ptr Ferdy Y. Gonzalez

Effectiveness

A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer...... ......... ........ $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.......... ......... ...... $ 9, 998.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference!

Dedication of the House of God and Ordination as Bishop

Beloved Brethren & Fellow Servants of God,

The Temple of God's Glory (God's House/God Is Alive Central Church Cabanatuan City) is set to be dedicated on September 19,2009 Saturday, 10 am to 1 pm...This is a very great celebration, we are praying & expecting for God to move miraculously on this day...Thank you so much for having you as a partner for accomplishing great things for God.. As it is stated, "Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God... " Only a few Christians step in this level of faith & courage to do great exploits for God's glory, so we made the step to build Him a house & it will be dedicated soon.

This cannot be done without you thank you so much,let us all have joy that we will be rewarded by the Lord in many ways because of this ...However, there are still parts in God's house that are not yet complete, but it is almost done....We still need your prayer support on this until that date comes...prayer will move God for sure, God just wants to see that there are people who cares & truly desirous to glorify Him...God looks at the heart.

Within the same date & celebration is my ordination to be the Bishop of the organization God Is Alive & the body of Christ in Nueva Ecija, I would like you to also know that I did not aspire or worked out for this title, but many fellow pastors & ministers & leaders & various chairmen of pastoral associations in the province and also the Provincial Association of Pastors & Churches (AMMNE) encouraged me to enter into this level of function not only for the denomination but also for the whole body of Christ in Nueva Ecija.One of the reasons is because i have served as the President & Chairmen of AMMNE and CCMF for many years and times in the past and had been instrumental in the establishing of unity and structure of the One Body of Christ.

Two months to go, please continue to pray for God's work...That everything we do and say glorifies the Lord....

This is just an update & prayer request.Thank you so much.

By faith and by Love,
Rev. Ferdinand Y. Gonzalez

Latest Overall Update on the House of God

Dear Brethren,

Napakabuti ng ating Diyos at tiyak ang Kanyang mga pangako...nakakamit ang kabuuan ng mga layunin at pangako ng Diyos ng mga punong puno ng pananampalataya at pagtitiwala at pag-ibig, kapag nag aalinlangan ay kinakapos,...naaabot at nararating ang buong tagumpay ng mga matatapang at masisipag na humakbang sa pananalig at at matibay na pagtuon nga paningin sa kaluwalhatian ni Hesus, kapag namali ng tingin at nahiwalay kay Kristo ang layunin, lulubog at malulunod....tiyak na mamumunga ng marami ang mga taong akahandandang mag sakripisyo at mamatay sa sarili,tulad ng isang maliit na binhi na kailangan mahulog sa lupa at mamatay, tsaka pa lamang talagang mamumunga ng marami para sa Kaharian ng Panginoon...kung lagi nating ibababa ang ating sarili at laging itataas Si Hesus, at ang kanyang kaluwalhatian, tiyak na ilalapit Niya ang maraming mga tao at masaganang pagpapala...habang patuloy nating ginagawa ang gawain ng Diyos, ang paghayo, pagliligtas, pagdidisipulo, pangangalaga sa mga tupa ng Panginoon, pasamba at pagluwalhati sa Kanya, susunod ang mga himala at lahat ng uri ng pagpapala.....ang lahat ng ito'y hindi malilimutan ng mga taong tunay na nagamamahal sa Panginoon, ito'y nakatanaim ng malalim sa puso ng isang tunay na anak at lingkod ng Diyos...ang buong pusong pagsunod dito ay kaligayahan sa lahat ng mga tagapagmana ng kaharian ng Diyos at mga handang instrumento na laging nagpapagamit sa Diyos...may iba pa bang tunay na kabuluhan ang buhay na ito kundi ang mahalin, sambahin at paglingkuran ang buhay na Diyos? wala na po...wala tayong dapat pagsisihan sa paglilingkod sa Kanya, walang dapat panghinayangan.


2 ang pangunahing suliranin ng mundo:


1. ang mga tao'y ligaw at nasa kasalanan, kailangan nilang maligtas, at mabayaran ang kanilang mga kasalanan, ginawa ni Hesus ang pagbabayad at pagliligtas, gawin natin ang ating bahagi dito.


2. ang mga tao'y lupaypay at nangangalat, tulad nila'y mga tupa na walang pastor, Si Hesus ang Pastor, ngunit kailangan ng maraming mga gagawa sa kawan ng Panginoon upang magturo, magpakain, gumabay at mag alaga ng maraming mga tupa...iniwan ang 99 na tupa upang hanapin ang nawawalang 1, dahil ang 99 ay ligtas at naiingatan sa kawan, ang kawan ay ang church o house of God, spiritual at natural...gawin natin lahat ng pinagagawa ng Panginoon, magligtas at mangalaga atr lahat ng mga kailngan na nakapaloob dito...ang mga magkakatulong ay tatanggap ng gantimpala dito at doon sa piling nga Panginoon.


Facts and Figures connected to the house of God:

*The Project Temple started about the early to mid 1990's

*Throughout the many years we raised gradually through you ang many brethren's help up to the present around P1.4 million pesos...all these are properly recorded & audited and reported....Praise the Lord!..we are just simple church with simple pepol as members, but God blessed us and used each of us

*around P800,000.00 for the church buildind remains unpaid & needed to be paid in installment for 2 years

*around P800,000.00 also needs to be paid for 2 years for the lots....

*a plan for solving this need is by dividing the big piece of the need to many little pieces...here it is:

*we need at least 65 persons who love the Lord to contribute at least P1,000.00 /month for 2 years (24 times)...

*we need 12 persons who will contribute at least P2,000.00 for 2 years.

*we need 30 persons who will give at least P500. for 2 years.


If these materializes, there'll be no more difficulty, pati mga unfinished parts ay makukumpleto, look at the ants not only that they save early for the rainy seasons, they as groups and teams and partners carry the big load, the big piece together...hawak kamay sa tagumpay...kyang kaya basta sama-sama...lahat ito para sa Kanyang kaluwalhatian at karangalan at kapakanan ng Kaharian.

Huwag po sanang tayong ma-offend...Magtulong tulong tayo sa prayers, every victory and success starts and ends with prayer and worship.

First Evangelistic Raffle Concert

Last August 6,2008 was the first evangelistic raffle concert with Brother Philip Salvador as guest. We also had Brother Dennis Roldan to preach in church the Sunday prior to the evangelistic concert who is now also brother in christ.

The next evangelistic raffle concert will be on December 10, 2008. We are planning to invite other artists who had great transformation experience with the Lord. Options that we have would be Dulce, Kuh Ledesma, or Mike Hanopol of Juan Dela Cruz Band . . . It would be a great experience to be with Mike Hanopol playing inspirational and spiritual music.

Thank you so much for supporting our church. We will always pray for you that God may bless you at all times . . .

God bless you always . . .

CHURCH HISTORY

It was January 11, 2002 when Ptra. Jhossie B. Hernandez started working as a domestic helper in Ma On Shan New Territories, Hong Kong. While she was working there, it is also her burden to start a ministry abroad. Month of February when she received a mission order from Ptr. Ferdy Y. Gonzalez (The President of the Board Of God Is Alive Christian Ministries Inc.) to help the existing God Is Alive Church through the leading of Ptr. Nolan and Ptra. Marie Garcia which is located in Hunghom, Kowloon and to start a new Bible study in the area where she works.

She started having friendship evangelism in the vicinity of her workplace. Sis Liezel Y. Javate and Sis. Aimee Cunanan, both members from GIA Cabanatuan offer their help to start the ministry. April 5, 2002 when they’ve been in the place where most of the Filipino’s living in the New Territories spent their holidays, and it was located in Shatin, N.T. They walk through the place, seeking every opportunity to talk to every Filipino people that they meet on the way. During their personal evangelism, they meet “ Pinay’s “ doing “soap curving “,making it into bouquet of flowers and selling it. So they buy to them and invite them to have a Bible study in their area, and they agreed. The next Sunday, dated May 12, 2002, they held their first Worship Service which is also the celebration of Mother’s Day, in an open space, the lower ground of Shatin Library where the Town Center and Town Hall is located. The attendees are all domestic helpers. They gather every Sunday, since it is the usual schedule of their day-off. Because of the background of the place (The area is where Pinays play cards, sell Filipino food, do hair cuttings & other kinds of part time work) persecution arises, & most of those who attend did’nt want to continue. So they decided to move into another place. Their Bible study in that place lasted for 6 months.

They move to Shatin Park, and 2 of their new converts help them in finding new contacts. By the Lord’s grace, they meet another group of about 13 people, and start Bible Study with them. They continue having Worship Service every Sunday morning & personal evangelism in the afternoon. Soon, they open another Bible Study in the afternoon with different group of members, which comes from different locations in the Philippines.

By the year 2003, Sis. Emie B. Padilla, Sis. Tessie De Guzman, & Sis. Liwayway P. Chung came and help in the ministry together with the newly converted members. From that time until October 2004, they just gather in different places in Shatin Park. Due to the changes of climate in Hong Kong, they cannot stay in the same place. During Summer & Autumn, they gather under the trees & shaded areas, during rainy season, they gather in Shatin Ampitheater or any covered areas, & during Winter, they gather in closed areas, or if there is no available place, they just bring additional thick clothes to cover them, because of the cold weather.

Year 2004 when they start praying to have their own Worship place. Since most of their members came from Tuen Mun New Territories, they decided to rent a flat in that area. By the middle of the month of November 2005, they moved in Tuen Mun and held their Worship gathering in Tuen Mun Park, while they’re still searching for a place to rent. By December 2005, they’ve found a place which is very near in the market within the vicinity of Tuen Mun. 3rd week of December when they finally moved in their Worship place in Flat D, 3rd Flr., Man PO Bldng., 11 San Tsing St. San Hui Market, Tuen Mun, New Territories. In that place, they held their Worship gathering every Sunday morning, 10:30-12-00nn. In the afternoon, they have their Cell group gathering. Practice in the Music ministry & dance are done after the cell group gathering. They conduct trainings, film showing, and water baptism during their “ Statutory Holidays “

From then on, the ministry is growing, and new members are added and developed for the work of the ministry & in using their lives for God’s Kingdom.
March 19, 2007, when Ptra. Jhossie B. Hernandez go back to the Philippines for some health reasons. Presently, Sis Emie B. Padilla handle the Church, together with the help of GIA Hong Kong Administrative Team.
