This 2011 is proving itself a really wonderful year. We started this year with Kerygma Feast happening twice a month from the previous once a month gathering we were holding last year. Many attendees became regular in coming to the event every other week. Last February 11, Bro. Rudy graced the gathering by giving a truly inspiring talk. It was a source of hope to many who listened to that talk. One attendee sent me a text message saying she was very thankful she attended, it was her first time. She said that she has lots of problems, and the talk almost made her cry many times because she was feeling rather hopeless. But the talk renewed her strength. The talk is about God being our Great Provider. And indeed He is. He has provided LOJ-Pilar with so many blessings the last 6 months we were holding the Kerygma Feast.We were able to buy musical instruments, amplifiers, pay for the rental of the venue, feed the guests, among others. Some volunteered to help out in the Worship Ministry, set up committee, and food committee. A priest has also been very generous in giving his time to celebrate the Holy Mass. Oh, so many big and small blessings.
The venue we were holding the event now is to be used as a government office. Again, the Lord proved His faithfulness by giving us a new place, all to our own, which we can utilize everyday and not just on Feast days. We can put all LOJ-Pilar's things there now. We can use the place for CG meetings, Worship Ministry practices, etc. And the Lord gave it to us at a price we can safely afford. It is also more accessible to attendees being located at the national road of our town. God is great.I think we will call it Tahanan ng Ilaw.
And yes, we are now Feast Bataan. Yipee... God is awesome. ;]
