Cornerstone Blogs

Hi folks. Well, this morning I am absolutely shattered! Finished our newsletter at 2am and got up early with two exited kids jumping around shouting, "No school today...no school today!" My goodness! What a way to start a week!

Never mind, shouldn't grumble! Had a great weekend. God is doing brilliant things here. I just wanted you to take note that a few of our leaders also blog. Our youth Pastor Daben has a blog and he mainly shares about the youth. Pastor Marlou, the Pastor of Cornerstone Santiago, also has a blog and I thought I would cut 'n' paste his last blog to give you an idea of his style. Enjoy and look his blog up sometimes. If you know him...leave him a comment. I know he would appreciate it!

Here is life & ministry in the last few weeks from Marlou's perspective:

"I always share to our members here at Cornerstone Church Santiago that these Church is a without wall Church, a Church that will reach those who are ready to be harvested. Our cell group is really growing specially in Schools. In one school alone we have 34 students who are active in attending our cell groups and this morning I and Ptr. Jun are praying for this ministry and God shows us how to reach the students.

So Ptr. Jun and I will meet our key leaders tonight to plan and prepare, because I believe God has a wonderful plan for this. Last overnight prayer meeting God gave me a word about the campus ministry. Wow, I’m really excited about this, so continue to pray for us. I saw the favor of God upon us, one of our cell group at bagong silang is also growing, before our cell leader started a cell group in small room but last week the room is to small for them so they decided to move to a bigger place. And now we have a cell group in community center and many young people are attending in this cell group.

About Youth Ministry, it’s really growing. Before, about 10 to 12 are attending the youth group, but now about 80 to 100 young people are attending our Friday youth service, and thank you elders and deacons of Cornerstone Church Santiago because you really support the Youth Group not only your presence is there but you used your money to extend the Kingdom of God, someday God will reward you.

About feeding program, from June 16 to July 31 we fed around 6,000 kids. Bro. Henry (one of the Elder of the Church) doing well and God is with him. And we want to extend our thanks those who really helping this ministry to reach the poor, especially the UK Team and Cornerstone Church Singapore.

About Hospital Ministry, still doing fine, this morning all the Pastors went to the patients and pray for healing. But I and August went to two rooms and preached the good news, I really enjoy sharing the Word to this people and Praise the Lord they received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Last week the Singaporean team are here, they are a blessings for us. Maureen is our speaker at Cornerstone Santiago especially in youth and Sunday morning service, she really encourage us, especially when she shared about WAITING. It’s true that most of us are impatient, right? That is the reason why, we want fast food, instant noodles, instant healing, and instant partners. But you know there is a blessing in waiting.
Sunday night service is amazing service, we have our own program but Praise the Lord God is in control. The presence of the Lord is very strong, and God gave a Word to Ptr. Mark about “Faith of Children,” and we ask all the kids to come at the front to pray for them and after ward the kids prayed for the adults. When that things happen I remember the book that I read about the French prophet in the year of 1685, ‘ children as young as 3 years old both prophesied and delivered discourses in perfect, fluent French even though this was not their native tongue. On one occasion, a fourteen (14) month old child, who previously had never spoken, suddenly began exhorting “to the works of Repentance” in a childish voice’ PRAISE THE LORD!

About Bible School, I and Pastor Mark teach about Acts of the Holy Spirit and Church History and we really enjoy it. On one occasion, as we teach about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to the Bible school students, suddenly those who are not baptize in the Holy Spirit were filled with the Holy Spirit and we saw the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. It’s really amazing and all I can say is GLORY TO GOD!"
