IN THIS ISSUEIt was the Pilgrims’ first brutal winter in the New

World. On board the Mayflower, the 120 passengers hung on

for dear life as the freezing temperatures and contagious

diseases took their toll on them. As a lot of them were dying

side by side and just when all hopes seem lost, Squanto with

the other Native Americans came to their rescue. With

kindness and sympathy, they taught the Pilgrims how to survivethe cold weather and how to effectively raise crops. Months

after that and with a very successful harvest, together, the

Pilgrims and the Native Americans held a 3-day feast to thankGod for seeing them through their direst moments. All the odds

were stacked against them but God, in all His wisdom and

might, gave them something to be thankful for. Hence, the

celebration of the first Thanksgiving Day.

As we have our share of turkeys, stuffing, and all theside fixings this holiday, let us pause for a while and call to

mind that everything the Pilgrims put up with pale in

comparison with what Jesus went through for us. He who knewno sin became sin and died on the cross in our stead. We were

all destined for incontrovertible destruction but with Jesusdeath, and resurrection, we were given the gift of eternal life.

Just something to think about over the long weekend…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

icare ministry

leadership update

November 21, 2010 - Through the ICARE Ministry, JIL Glendale fulfilled one of its 2010goals of reaching out to those who are in need by supporting the Samaritan’s Purse

Operation Christmas Child. Twenty shoe boxes were filled with toys, school supplies,clothing, and toiletries. Each box was carefully wrapped with beautiful Christmas themedwrappers; some were even personalized. Many JIL Glendale members and leaders jumpedon the opportunity to reach out and bless others when they heard about this operation.Other JIL outreaches also participated. Samaritan’s Purse is an organization founded byFranklin Graham.

As an outreach, JIL Glendale formed its LeadershipManagement Team in March 2010. Its goal is to planand implement various strategic goals for growth and

expansion of the church in Glendale. As a decision-making group for the outreach, the team works closelyand under the direction of the Area Pastor, Pastor ArnelAquino and the Assistant Area Pastor - Trainee, PastorVhee Cabanting.

Our seven member team include (from left to right) SisAlma Constantino, Bro Allain Constantino, Sis EdlynCabanban, Bro Ronnie Dacanay, Sis Flor Viloria, BroDonald Cabrera, and Sis Yani Cabrera. (In this picture

the team was joined with Tabitha Constantino and Ptr Mary

Juarana.) JIL Glendale welcomes our new Children’s Network

Head, Sis. Cecile Ybanez. Sis. Cici, as she is known tomost JIL members, has been faithfully serving in theministry even during the Azusa days of JIL.

TODAY

IN THE LIFE

Up close and a tad bit personal…

As God’s creations, we are built and wired

to have an effect on others. We have this

tremendous capacity, through our words, actions,

and demeanor, to either make or break someone’s

day. On that note, please allow me to introduce a

woman of God who has positively touched others’

lives in countless ways. She is a person who has a

heart of a servant and has her ways of reaching out

to people. We all know her as a worship minister

who sang her heart out and led the VIA (Voices In

Adoration) ministry for a significant period of time.

Back in our Azusa days, we would always see her in

meetings, services, trainings, and other church

activities. Truth be told… she was just everywhere!

Now that we have our outreach here in Glendale, she

has taken on a new level of challenge. Although

she’s still very much involved in music and still

leads Praise and Worship she has then been

promoted as the Head of Finance for JIL Glendale…

talk about multi-tasking!

Without further ado, we present… *drum roll* …

Sis. Edlyn Cabanban!

Q: How long have you been a Christian?

A: Since 1998

Q: What was your first ministry involvement?

A: Music Ministry

Q: What’s your favorite verse?

A: Romans 8:28

Q: Who’s your favorite Bible

character?

A: David

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has

appointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He

has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim

liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the

blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to

proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

Luke 4:18-19

VERSE OF THE MONTH

By Bro. Allain Constantino

Q: How long have you been in Finance?

A: I’ve been involved in finance even back in Philippines, then in Azusa, and now appointed as Head

Finance here in JIL Glendale. I stopped my involvemen

from finance while in Azusa to give priority to the V

ministry.

Q: What did you do to prepare yourself for this position?

A: I prayed about it that I can handle the task a

responsibility given. Even though I have been involved

finance in the past, it still is a great challenge being th

Head of Finance. I asked for assistance from Bro Dona

and Sis Yani as leaders of JIL Glendale.

Q: What advice can you give to those aspiring to be in th

Finance ministry?

A: For those who are aspiring to be in the ministry, themust love working in finance and not to be involved onbecause they are told to do so. They must be committed anhave the initiative to do the job. One must really love thtask in working in God’s ministry.

Sis. Edlyn Cabanban



A vast majority of people are content living their

safe uninterrupted lives. Day in and day out, they go about

the same routine in an almost robotic fashion. The moment

they wake up, it’s like they’re set on “automatic,” going

through the same things, not expecting and actually shying

away from anything that resembles change. Sounds

familiar? Well that’s because we’re not immune to this. Alot of us, Christians, are living the same humdrum lifestyle.

In so doing, we fail to grasp the kind of life God intends for

us.

If David played it safe and decided to just go about

his shepherding business when Goliath was mocking God’speople, he would not have had the privilege of single-

handedly delivering Israel from its oppressors.

If God calls for you to change your routine

He’ll surely show you things your eyes have never seen

In this quest, He promises He will show you His might

As you walk through the paths with His power, with His light

Had David turned a deaf ear to the challenge, he

would have missed his chance to experience God’s might

in a personal way. On that same deduction; if the Wrigh

brothers didn’t change their routine and start thinking

outside the box, if they didn’t act on their seemingly “out of

this world” idea, the thought of flying could still be just

that… a thought.

We are all familiar with the phrase saying, “theonly thing constant in life is change” and contrary to

popular belief, change is good. For us Christians, we are

given the blessed assurance that things will work out if we

relentlessly put our faith in Him. Let us be reminded o

Romans 8:28 where it says, “And we know that in all things

God works for the good of those who love him, who have

been called according to his purpose.”

are we an automatic?By Bro. Allain Constantino

a ersonal messa e By Bro. Donald Cabrera

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful

love endures forever. Psalm 107:1

Indeed, God is good! He is awesome! He is great!

There is no word big enough to describe God’s goodness.

This past year has really been a year of victory, promotions,

blessings, and favors from the Lord.

JIL Glendale is really favored by God. He hasbrought faithful and committed workers to serve in this

ministry. I have not seen such committed members, workers,

and leaders with genuine love and compassion for God.

Everyone serves with one purpose, and that is to please God

and no one else. The heart of a servant is truly embodied inthis church. Thank you, Lord for Your people.

Early this year, we were able to rent an office in our

current place of worship through a bidding process. Truly

God’s favor was upon us when our bid was selected. We

now have a place where we hold our meetings, conducttrainings, have fellowship, and simply a place we can call

our own. Our VIA continues to use the sanctuary that werent on Sundays, for practice on Saturdays for free. He really

knows our needs and He provides.

Our seven-member Leadership Management Team(LMT) was formed in March 2010. Additional leaders and

heads were also appointed throughout the year. Our Sunday

worship attendance continue to increase and have past the

15% mark. We heard testimonies of brothers receiving jobs,

promotions being received, salary increases from employers,sicknesses being healed, and doors being opened continually.

Praise God! And because God’s people are blessed, I

continue to see in everyone an overflowing desire to give

back to the Lord – of their gifts, talents, time, and finances.

We were able to send four leaders in July 2010

the Reencounter under our JIL 12 program from our fir

batch. The second batch of three leaders were able to atten

the Encounter in May 2010 and are now preparing to atten

the Reencounter in February 2011. We were also able

send four leaders to the Preachers Training held in JI

Long Beach, resulting in more preachers and a ministeriteam for Glendale. I also had the privilege of attending th

Pastoral Care Training Program and the Region

Management and Administrative Skills Training attende

by the JIL USA pastors and coordinators.

Our first LA Area Anniversary was held in ofacility in Glendale held in September 11, 2010 with S

Edith Mendoza as our special speaker. I saw a tremendou

amount of support from our brethren not only in the L

area but also from the San Diego area.

I thank our Lord for our WAM / VIA team whcontinue to strive for excellence in all that they do. I than

our Lord for our Gatekeepers and WIN Ministries who aalways there, seen or unseen. To our faithful tither

workers, and leaders – may our good Lord continue

shower you with blessings and provide your every need.am blessed to serve the Lord in this ministry. To my wif

Yani and kids – next to God,

I couldn’t do what I am able

to do without you by my side.

To our good Lord –in behalf of the JIL Glendale

family, we thank You for who

You are and for all You’ve

done in our lives! Bro. Donald, Sis Yani w/ Dia,Chris, and Callista



San Diego, CA - From November 10 to November 14,

thirty-seven church pastors, coordinators, regional, and area

leaders attended the first ever JIL USA Regional Management

and Administrative Skills (RMAS) Training held in JIL San

Diego Church. Leaders from 8 states, 29 churches / outreaches

got together in one place for training in church management and

administration.

It is not by accident that the acronym RMAS closely

resembles the word “armas” in tagalog meaning weapon or arms.

It was truly an experience of a lifetime. JIL USA leaders were

equipped or armed with the skills necessary in leading God’s

people and managing the church. The five-day training was

facilitated by Bro. Rene and Sis. Carmen Gonzales, who made a

special trip just to be with the JIL USA leaders. Each day was

filled with very informative lectures, personal talks, fun

icebreakers, and role-playing. Most days lasted from 9 a.m. to 9

p.m..

Included in the training was the very important JIL USA

milestone setting that required the formation of strategies and

action plans. It was during this time that everyone present

realized our full potential in fulfilling the church’s mission. USA,

the sleeping giant, is about to be awakened! Pastor Aldrin, our

Director for International Operations with his wife, Pastor

Monette Navo along with Pastor Bong Gonzales from Canada

were also in attendance.

Pastor Aldrin led the JIL USA leaders in a prophetic

gesture of claiming all of the 50 States of America for Jesus by

placing JIL logos on every state. The prophetic gesture extended

south to Mexico, the Caribbean Islands, and South America.

Each map of the United States, Mexico, and South America were

placed on the ground and each leader walked on top of them.

The vastness of this great country was dwarfed by the

love and brotherhood present during the training as each leader

held hands, embraced one another, and joined forces in declaring

JESUS IS LORD OVER THE USA!
