WORSHIP BREAKTHROUGH
November 1-3, 2007
Normisist Gymnasium
Butuan City
One day before we left for the Breakthrough Conference, I started scanning and reading some worship lyrics at home. Then I began singing ... Jesus, Lover of my Soul, Shout to the Lord, Here I am To Worship, etc.
As I was worshiping, the songs made me think about the Conference. Though I did not know then the purpose of “breakthrough,” I knew that SOMETHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!
I lead worship in my family and in our church. But the time came when I felt tired and disappointed, especially when the number of our church attendees became lesser than it used to. I started questioning God:
“Am I worthy to lead in worship? Am I only forced to lead the congregation?” Doubts and fear of failure began to sink in as I searched for answers from the Lord.
Then we went to Butuan City for the Conference. To my amazement, I was welcomed by the very songs that I was singing to God back home. It was then when I knew the answers to my questions. It was then when the Lord’s calling upon my life as a worship leader was confirmed in my heart by the Lord. So I cried out and shouted boldly the song:
“I love You... I need You ... Though my world may fall, I'll never let You go... I will worship You until the very end!"
Then the preaching of the Word came. I was particularly blessed when Pastor Bobot Bernardo shared about a woman who owed him 100 pesos. To him it was nothing, but to the old woman it was everything because she was able to go to church for three Sundays because of that. Then he said that any member of the church who lived under the cloud of suspicions and doubts must be encouraged.
My tears welled up because I was at the point wherein I wanted to give up worship leading already. I was empowered by the Word of God. I wanted to live like Sis. Edith said,
“We are not a failure!”
I always pray today to keep this flame burning in my heart and keep it as a precious prize from my Savior.

Na-bless po ako nang sumali ako sa Worship Breakthrough kahit hindi ako miyembro ng JIL. Na-bless po ako sa mga mensahe na nadinig ko sa mga speakers, lalo na sa life ni Ate Edith. Na-bless ako kung ano ang ginawa ng Panginoon sa kanya. Hindi ko malilimutan yung word nya na
“sa mga mata ng mga artists, hindi basura ang mga basura … lalo na ang mga basag na bote.” Inihambing po niya ang artist sa Panginoon at tayo ang mga basurang basag na bote. Naranasan ko nang mabasag ang puso ko, pero sa mga mata ng Panginoon ay malaki pala ang halaga ko.
Ako po si Renzon Egmilan, taga-Butuan City. Galing po ako sa broken family pero hindi ko akalain na marami pala Siyang plano sa buhay ko. Kasalukuyan akong nag-aaral ng missionary course. Patuloy po akong maglilingkod sa Panginoon!
Marami pong salamat sa Panginoon at ginawa kayong instrumento para makita ko kung ano na ang kalagayan ng spiritual life ko.
Sana may Worship Breakthrough Part II sa Butuan City!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I am Gemwil Clarin, 21 years old from JIL-Libertad, Butuan City. I am a KKB Pastor and a Worship leader in our Church. I would like to testify of our GOD's greatness and goodness
Before I attended the Worship Breakthrough and PJM Conference in Butuan City last Nov. 1-3, I felt a lump growing in a certain area in my body and it was causing me pain. On the last day of the conference,
I claimed my healing believing with all that I am that God's Kingdom has indeed come upon my life and claiming everything that is in His Kingdom, declaring that any form of disease has no place in my life! And indeed, after the Conference, the lump became smaller and smaller. Now, it is
totally gone! In Jesus' powerful name!
All glory, honor, thanksgiving, and focus be to our INDESCRIBABLE, AMAZING, AND GREAT GOD! What more can I say for all that He has done? I am speechless! I thank God for your lives, for being His vessels! I hope to see you soon again!
GOD bless you more!
In CHRIST,

I am Cheryl Saco from Jesus Is Lord Church-Butuan City. I am testifying in behalf of my cousin, Gretchen.
We attended the 3-day-Worship Breakthrough Conference at Normisist Gym in Butuan City. During those days, the LORD worked wonders in our lives.
On the 2nd day afternoon session, Ate Edith called up the music ministers in front. While ministering to them, my cousin, Gretchen, said that she experienced the moving of the Holy Spirit. She said she could not help trembling to the bones. So she kept on worshipping and praising the LORD. While worshipping, she heard very soft male voices singing and very soft sound of the organ playing. It was only on the 3rd day of the Conference when it was shared how everybody in the Congregation heard the heavenly sound at a time when the worship team was no longer singing and the musicians were no longer playing their instruments!
Sister in Christ,
Cheryl
