The Lord is faithful, He is God of all nation, and all generation.
For 34 years, we have witnessed how the Lord graced Gospel Lighthouse with his faithfulness and he never stops. We have been blessed with provisions even in a trying and crying times. The Lord is present then, now and always. In this year’s thanksgiving, we are in awe on how God has abundantly provided and increased us in every aspect as we look back on some of the greatest memories we’ve shared since the last thanksgiving.
In year 2021 the church faced common struggle that other community experienced; but by the glory of God he enabled the church-us- to draw closer to him, and his outpouring glory becomes so evident as the church celebrated God in different events.
In months of February, March and April, the church of the Lord is acknowledged as various event took place. It is an amazement on how He works even in restrictions and protocols,
February—we held our 33rd thanksgiving, March—we launched Women of Worth Maranding—which eventually inspires our Men of Faith to stand and gather in a coffee meeting, and then there’s an Encounter with God Retreat together with our family from the House of Multitude. The Women of Worth activity started off in a what we call the “WOW! Go Green” event on May; but then the highlight was on July when Women of Worth Teens was launched here in Maranding and the Lord made Gospel Lighthouse the proponent of the first ever WOW Teens.
October—we blessed the Lord as we celebrated Pastor’s Appreciation Month, we know that this fellowship is founded and bonded by God and also He has given us a pasture where we are nurtured and empowered to become real people of God. We are a Timothy to a 2 Paul who are both a mind with a heart and soul with God’s spirit.
In the month of November, the launching of the 4th Album of the People of Praise also took place almost simultaneously with Jesus Reigns and in December the church gathered in a Family Day at a Spring Resort at Salvador.
Celebration is what most of us gets excited to, and it becomes a double excitement when we gather together starting from the pastors, partners, leaders, workers, down to the church members. We celebrate even in tears, for even in tears his grace abounds, so give cheers and praises as a thanks-giving of God’s greater glory in year 2021 and an overflowing grace in year 2022.
