SOAR HIGH: LGI Celebrates 11 th Anniversary !"#$ The Quarterly Publication of Life-Growth Inc.
Issue 32, August 2014 On its 11th year, God is calling LGI to soar higher and higher in advancing the Jesus Agenda. God is surely setting a bigger stage for LGI to expand its prophetic reach to the nations! In her message during the anniversary dinner, LGI Founder and Chair of the Board, Rev. Dr. Rebecca Mina N. Palomo exhorted us all to listen to Gods voice; look towards global harvest and leap in faith as we continue to support the prophetic work of LGI.
To mark LGIs second decade, Pastor Mina Palomo made a call to support LGIs 20:20 Vision towards an International Prophetic School in year 2020. Many responded to the call to give. We raised half a million pesos in cash and in pledges. Certainly, we declare an overflow of blessings to the sponsors through the years who invested in lives to build and expand the Kingdom of God.
As in the past, now, and forever and ever, God is reminding us that He is in full control. In the next decade, the prophetic direction is three-fold: to worship; to move in wisdom and to work hard.
! LGI is committed to deepen in worship. Gods presence continues to be the very heart and soul of all that we do in LGI. In the next decade, we will pursue intimacy with God as the foundation of our being. We shall hear Gods voice and be the kind of worshipers He seeks, in spirit and in truth.
! LGI is committed to pursue a life of wisdom. Since its founding in 2003, LGI has been continually seeking Gods prophetic voice in all its corporate and ministry directions. We continue to adhere to our conviction that Gods purposes are global, but His very heart beats for the personal and intimate concerns of His people.
! LGI is committed to work hard. By the grace of God, we shall pursue excellence and godly competence in all our undertakings, knowing that through our good works, those who see us will give glory to God.
Exciting days await us all! LGI is surely claiming its glorious destiny! Today, we can only look back with sincere gratitude to the Holy Spirit for revealing to us the heart of God. In the days ahead, we are certain that as a child clings desperately to his Father, LGI will continue to tighten its grip on Gods hand. Our confidence is that as in the days of our humble beginnings 11 years ago, Gods grip upon us will be tighter --- full of power, and seasoned with overflowing love and kindness! Thank loving Father, precious Son and dearest Holy Spirit.-- bam
LGI helps change lives. This is the very core of LGIs Change Management Program which offers three modules: (1) I.Transform Series, (2) Change Management Modules, and (3) Life Cycle Series.
The I.Transform Series include transformational seminars like I.CARE and I.TEACH. Both are currently being conducted in workplaces and schools.
The Change Management Modules include Starting Over, a seminar on personal transformation which in now on its 17th batch and have been conducted in Manila, Makati, Tacloban and in Maryland, Chicago, San Francisco and San Diego, United States. Breaking Through, the sequel to Starting Over already had its initial launch in July.
The Life Cycle Series is lifted from our Life Cycle Distance Learning module which is designed for self-awareness, enrichment of relationships and development of life skills.
In all these, we hope to further our commitment in advancing the Jesus Agenda through bible-based transformation seminars. We pray that through all these, many will continue to embrace beautiful gift of transformation made possible for the glory of God, in the Name of Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit! bam

LGI Dream Building Reaches the 2 Million Mark 1 2 3 Souvenir Items for Sale God Talks Launched LGI School Updates
WindWatch Finds a New Place of Worship WindWatch at Team Ministries International (TMI) moved to WindWatch at Kamuning Bible Christian Fellowship Church (KBCF) in May of this year 2014. The transfer was unavoidable as a fire razed the second floor of TMI on Kamuning Road where WindWatch was being held every Monday night. However, the transition from TMI to KBCF Church was made smooth and easy by the intercession and help of one of KBCF's founders Mrs. Cherry Tendero and Ptr. Mina Palomo.
The change was God-sent as we continue to witness a glorious multiplication of attendance from our usual 40-60 to 60-100, a large number of first-timers and powerful anointing in our worship, the preaching of the word and the declaration of prophetic prayers. We praise God for His goodness and faithfulness and we thank Him for the change as an expression of His delight over us, His tender care and His exquisite artistry! nfd BIOS | Rev. Dr. Mina N.

LGI Updates We praise God for His faithfulness to LGI. Since the launching of the LGI DREAM Building Project in December 2013, we have received pledges and contributions from generous friends and supporters here and in the United States. We have raised more than Php 2.0 Million as of August 2014. Also, VSO Bahaginan, a non-profit organization that promotes volunteering here and abroad, donated 26 coin banks to LGI. We are believing that this coin bank seed will result to more resources being mobilized to make our DREAM come true. At the Building Committee level, sub-committees were also organized to ensure that work in our project goes ahead full speed. These sub-committees are: 1) Communications; 2) Building Plan; and 3) Resource Mobilization. Inspired by Proverbs 24:3-4 - By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures., we continue to seek Gods guidance as we make this DREAM come true. May God be glorified in this project. -- mqa Additionally in Metro Manila, the book will also be distributed to House of Praise; Back to the Bible and PBS at Php. 120.00.
God Talks by Pastor Mina was launched during the LGI 11 th
Anniversary. The book will be sold nationwide through the 45 outlets of PBS.
