2014 is a powerful year of "Double

Portion." The number "7" means

"Perfection." The number "14" means

"Double Perfection"…a Double Portion!

Our First Fruits offerings this year,

which was so generously given in faith

by God’s people through our

WindWatch services at the end of

January, is the "Activation" of the

double portion!

When we apply the Principle of

First Fruits – First Things First – in

our lives, we begin to see that all firsts

should be given to the Lord. To be in

alignment with what God has for us, we

must start the year off as instructed- by

obeying God's Holy Principle! God's

Word clearly promises: Isaiah 61:7,

"Instead of your shame you will receive

a double portion, and instead of

disgrace you will rejoice in your

inheritance. And so you will inherit a

double portion in your land, and

everlasting joy will be yours."   What anexciting year for us all!

Thank you Holy Spirit, for releasing a precious dream in the heart of LGI! The

LGI DREAM, a 5-Year Building Project, will see the rising of a four-storey facility

that will serve as LGI's premiere leadership development and education center. A

300 sqm. strategic lot in a semi-commercial area in Kamias, Quezon City is being

considered as an ideal site. LGI INITIALLY needs Php 7 MILLION to acquire the

land by July 2014 to begin the project. By 2018, this building, complete with

modern facilities, will play an integral part in our mission to train leaders who will

transform nations.

LGI is very grateful to Ret. Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno for accepting the

assignment as Honorary Chair of “The LGI Dream: A Building Project.” The

Committee Members are: Pastor Art Calaguas, Pastor Sonny Navarro, Ms. Nena

Benigno, and Ms. Mabel Apostol. We thank God for their faith and commitment to

help LGI put up a building that will be a center of transformation.

The Holy Spirit has indeed been poured upon God's people; and because of this,

we can truly dream God's dreams. How exciting our times are! Let's dream with

God and let's make it happen!

We rejoice in the Lord for the glorious

seven years of the Wind Watch Prophetic

Prayer and Healing Service. Over 150

people took part in the glorious worship

celebration. It commemorated a ministry

that has already given birth to other

satellite prophetic prayer services in

Makati, Quezon City, Pampanga and

Midsayap.

Honoring this year’s celebration is

guest preacher, Chief Justice Reynato S.

Puno (Ret.). He gave a stirring message

on the need to uphold the pure gospel ofJesus Christ in the face of increasing

humanism and new-age philosophies.

He is a proud alumna of LGI’s One Year

Integrated Bible Curriculum course and

WindWatch prayer leader at the Puno

United Methodist Church. He is also

the distinguished Chair of the LGI

Dream Building Project Committee

which was launched at the end of 2013.

 As we look forward to our 8th year,

may we be ever-eager to receive from

the Holy Spirit especially as we look

forward to the WindWatch teaching

themes for 2014: “Possessing the

Future”; “Using our Authority in Jesus’

Name”; “Rising Up in Power” and

“Receiving Double Anointing.” Other

members of the Committee who wereconsecrated during the service were

Pastor Art Calaguas; Ms. Mabel

 Apostol and Pastor Sonny Navarro.

1 LGI shares the gospel

through the “Happy

Feet Program” 

LGI intensifies its evangelism

efforts as a concrete response to the

wave of calamities that have hit the

nation in recent months. Project

Happy Feet was launched in

December 2013. It is based onRomans 10: 15, “How beautiful are

the feet of the messengers who bring

the good news…” It was designed to

help people share the gospel using a

user-friendly evangelistic tract.

What a mighty outpouring it was! We praise God for the 103 participants of

the 8th LGI Prophetic Leadership Summit held on January 17-18 at the Center

for Community Transformation Retreat Center in Tagaytay. Participants from

various churches came from as far as Baguio, Pampanga and Midsayap, Mindanao

and even from the United States! It was truly a Spirit-filled event marked with

powerful and life-changing teachings on the themes. Rev. Dr. Mina Navarro-

Palomo emphasized that a mind possessed and activated by the mind of Christ

uncovers the deep secrets of God; Rev. Dave Sablan focused on unleashing the

power of healing and allowing the Holy Spirit to mightily fill in all our

deficiencies; Rev. Abe Ng Singco revealed that the only way to break the spirit of

poverty is to learn to sow our material resources in the kingdom of God; Rev.

Bernadette Amistoso-Morales shared that taking hold of God’s favor is all about

being hungry for God’s prophetic revelations and aligning with God’s will in faith

and humble obedience; and Rev. Criscelyn C. Navarro expressed that our spiritual

gifts are ignited with intimacy, intelligence, intensity, integrity and influence that

comes from the Holy Spirit.

 A very thick spirit of worship and prayer marked this year’s PLS.

Participants experienced the healing presence of the Lord; received prophetic

prayers for life-directions; ministered to one another in love; and received the

fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit. A very special feature in this year’s PLS was the

Dawn Worship. Participants were reminded that the greatest work of the Holy

Spirit is to bring people to a genuine understanding of the Lordship of Jesus

Christ. A mighty spirit of intercession filled the session hall as people expressed

their gratitude to Jesus for the precious gift of salvation. They were also moved

by the Spirit to cry out to the Lord for the salvation of loved ones and friends.

What an answer to prayer! The

Lord surprised LGI with a precious

Christmas gift: the birth of the latest

of the Makati Business District. It islocated at the 11th Floor of King’s Court

Tower along Pasong Tamo corner Dela

Rosa. WindWatch Makati had its

Spirit-filled worship, generous giving

and powerful prophetic intercessions

marked the succeeding weeks. Truly,

God is moving in the lives of people, and

we are all excited!
