JIL CANADA ANNUAL PASTORS' CONFERENCE 2008

Last December 6-7, the Annual JIL Canada Pastors' Conference was held at the Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, BC. It was attended by 46 pastors & spouses coming from the different provinces of Canada.

God has blessed us with his awesome presence especially during the "Soaking in the Spirit Session." All the sessions were truly inspiring and directional. I believed that each one went back to their respective Churches knowing what JIL Canada intends to do and where we are headed for 2009.


Pastor Aldrin taught on the "Character of A Pastor" during the first session. Some practical teachings were also imparted to us on the next sessions - Ptr. Bong Gonzales shared on "How To Minister Effectively", Sis. Millet Figueroa shared some information regarding MIS, Internet, website, etc. Ptr. Aldrin taught how to start a personal blogsite, use windows live mail and Microsoft Onenote and prepare a powerpoint presentation.

Pastor Aldrin also shared the Direction of JIL Canada for the Year 2009 including our Strategies and Action Plans.

After this, we broke out into groups (per area) to discuss the Strategies and Action Plans for each specific Area for the Year 2009.

The Area Pastors - Pastor Evelyn Licayo (Area 1); Pastor Aldrin Navo (Area 2); Pastor Bong Gonzales (Area 3 & 6); and Pastor Mary Juarana (Area 4 & 5), led each group in strategizing and planning for 2009.

Finally, during the Commissioning Session, Pastor Aldrin shared to us about "Receiving the Breath of God - His Holy Spirit."

Also, during this session, the newly appointed Pastors of JIL Canada for 2009 were commissioned by Pastor Aldrin. The Pastors who were commissioned were the following: Pastora Judith Abellanosa of JIL Ottawa West, Ontario; Pastora Edith Catayong of JIL Southeast Calgary, Alberta; Pastor Rex Solo of JIL Notre Dame De Grace, Quebec; Pastora Rowena Jagolino of JIL Toronto (5), Ontario; Pastor George Dela Rosa of JIL Winnipeg (2), Manitoba; and Pastora Delfa Tangonan-Nava of JIL Kitchener, Ontario. Congratulations to all of you and welcome to the Pastoral family of JIL Canada !!!


The Conference was concluded with a Dinner Fellowship on the night of December 7 where a Videoke Singing Contest was held among the Pastors. Congratulations to all the winners !!! You all did a great job!

We discovered that we have a lot of good singers among the Pastors and a number of them were worship ministers before they became Pastors. Everybody enjoyed the evening and had a great time of fellowship and knowing each other. Thanks to our emcees, Ptr. Bong Gonzales and Sis. Jovi Villanueva-Binalla.



On December 8, we all went to Whistler, BC for a sightseeing tour and for fellowship and bonding as well. Everybody enjoyed the Gondola ride going to the top of Whistler Mountain.





We also visited the Olympic Center located at Whistler Village. Truly, it was an enjoyable trip !!!



Thanks to all whom God has used to make this Pastors' Conference a success!!! God knows who you are . . .

Truly, we are so excited for 2009 and beyond for we know that God has still a lot of things in store for JIL Canada. We are not yet done !!! We will continue to conquer Canada for Jesus and even USA !!!

The declaration of JIL Canada and even the whole of the JIL International Operations is that 2009 will be a "YEAR OF OVERFLOW!!!" So JIL people, be ready for the OVERFLOW !!! . . . . It's coming . . . . . God bless you all !!!

Dear in Christ,
Greetings in the matchless name of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
we are seeing your website very useful our ministry
Our ministry area is in Coimbatore the District in Tamilnadu State . We are involved in various ministries.
We conduct personal prayer two days in a week. Lot of people belonging to various religions participates in the meetings. Many were delivered from various problems through this ministry.
This prayer meeting is conducted in a rental building. Once a month we gather together and pray for the revival in India and the blessing of the people in our city- this is a fasting prayer. Many people participate for these prayers. Many received miracle healing and deliverance from the clutches of demon.
Once in a month we conduct a fasting prayer in a auditorium. Every week on Sundays evenings we have prayers for the people who were under the bondage of various problems (deliverance meetings). Even the heathen people participate in these meetings. We have lot of testimonies. We will share with you in the near future for the testimonies.
Once a year by the grace of God we conduct a Deliverance festival (Crusade meetings) in a big open ground. Thousands of people attend in the meetings.
We were invited to preach the gospel in many churches. We go by a team and conduct the meetings.
These are the various kinds of ministries. We trust in God and do the ministry. We fully depend upon God and our ministry is a faith ministry... God provides all our needs.
As the ministry is growing fast and at present we are conducting the meeting in rental building we pray earnestly to God to have a own land and construct the church, that would help us to bring more people into the vineyard. We pray to God and you can assist our ministry as the Lord leads you.
Our future vision is to have the following ministries:
1. To start orphanages for the poor and needy children.
2. To start village ministry - preaching the Word in the interior villages and hamlets where there is no gospel.
3. Television ministry - presenting the Word of God through Television.
4. Hill tribe ministry. There are many tribal areas adjacent to Coimbatore city.

5.Widow and aged people orphanage

6.To start prayer cell

7.students education help

8.Pastor's and Evangelist fellowship

9.Woman's ministries



Please uphold our ministry in your prayers. Please pray for our ministry.
May the Lord use you mightily in India and save a group of people through your ministry. We pray that God would use you ministry throughout world. We uphold you, your family and the ministry in our prayers. Kindly pray for us.
looking forward to hearing from you.
in His Vineyard

Respected and lovingly brother in Christ, Greets to you in Jesus name . I send my sincere salutations and gratitude to you through the king of king Jesus. I hope and pray that this letter will find you and yours good physical and growing ever stronger spiritually as you study the god s world . Since this is my first opportunity to get acquaintance with the children of our lord.
I talking liberty introduce myself my name is M. Pandu and 30 years old married with merry yet no children . I was born in Hindu family and Andhra Pradesh, but I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior and I came to Agra, north India as a evangelist and full time Gospel preacher. I dedicated my life to serve for Christ through out of my life at un reached areas.
Five friends and I dedicated our lives to serve for Christ until our deaths because most of people should not know about the “Gospel of Jesus Christ”.
We are working at Agra and Utter Pradesh state, north India.
Agra is in the state of Utter Pradesh, this is the largest populated state of India sending highest number of the representatives of the people to the “legislative” house [parliament] of the country. Most of the prime minister are elected from this state; here the famous Taj Mahal attracts millions of tourists every year from all over the World. This state has 13 million population, 630 cities and 8100 villages. It is the birthplace of the most of the gods of India. This state has many sacred rivers and temples, kasi Varanasi is considered as the second heaven people come and stay here in die……….. in many ways this has become a great center of this country and this state has the greatest number of the lowest class people and all are people are worshiping idols, all are pagans and gentles because we are doing service for Christ, please pray for us and god’s work here.
This is the persecuted area, people are ready to kill us sometimes 2nd jan 2007, we went a village, to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ but beated us and captured all of our things like bible, books and tracks.
We are happy to hear that you are so kind to encourage to the lord’s work in north India through your kind love with sacrifice.
heare at agra number of orphan children are begging in public placess thatswhy we plan to start an orphenage home for orphan children and slum children please pray for that request .we would like to work with you and your ministry.
So, kindly we are requesting to you and all of our friends in Christ, please pray for us and pray for God’s work here.
Always we need your prayer support to us to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Heartily welcome to you please visit us and share the word of god with north India, Agra people.
We hope to receive you and work with us at Agra.
Please send email to us.
