~Mission Trip to JIL Rome, Italy~

Left Milan - July 18 to Rome with Ptr. Benny Alcantara (RP of Southern Europe), Ptr. Amy Jovero (AP of JIL Rome), Ptr. Aldrin Navo (Director for International Operations) and Ptr. Monette Navo. It was a 4 1/2 hours trip by train - it was a dream came true for me. Our God has HIS own way on how to answer - with so many surprises ... to amaze us in so many ways. God's blessings are unstoppable - as HE opens the door of opportunities ... no one can stop it! It is really an open heaven blessings! With this opportunity - I am out of words on what to say .... but my heartfelt gratitude to our God, our leaders / pastors / congregation - thank you so much for having me as your partner / member of the team.

With so much to contemplate about with the success / God's mighty intervention during our Mission Trip in JIL Milan . Again, we are in expectation of mightier things of what the Lord will do in JIL Rome, together with JIL Napoli and Pisa. The Worship Service was great with the Word proclaimed by Ptr. Aldrin Navo - the congregation were inspired and experienced the transforming power of the Lord - the message received as a revalation and being challenged to go>grow>and glow in their walk with the Lord! The Leadership Seminar after the service -Praise the Lord!

~Ice cream time for the pastors (LtoR): Ptr. Benny Alcantara, Ptr. Aldrin & Monette Navo. Masarap ang ice cream sa Italy and very expensive kasi (Euro) but worth naman ... thanks Ptr. Amy for paying. Pag punta mo ng Canada you can try our ice cream in here~ Overlooking the city of Rome ... with our declaration ...JESUS IS LORD OVER ROME, ITALY!

~Thanks for our brethren who drove us around the city (not in the picture).




~Part of the blessing - of course not to miss the historical places of Rome. The picture behind us is "The Colosseum!" So much to say about the place but I'm out of words on how to describe it.

~The truth is ---It is imprinted in my heart ---how thankful am I to see the place. In fact, my pastors saw the place already but they spent their time to tour me around - not to miss it. We walked hours from morning to evening - until we did say our feet were giving up.



~We walked where Apostle Paul Walked~ It was an awesome expereinced - just to remind us of the story of the place ---where the Lord brought us --- is something to really appreciate God's faithfulness!

~Look at the four (4) servants of the Most High God - exploring the land of Rome with in mind that in every region of Rome --- JIL Churches will be established as we claim Joshua 1:3.

~July 22 ... early in the morning we were at the airport to catch our flight back to Canada. It was a long trip with the time difference between continents ... as of this writing ... I say thank you again and again for all your prayers.~

~until next time ... in every step that we are experiencing ... we give back our thanksgiving to the LORD!~
