In 2005, in the City of
Kitchener, the Lord opened the door of heaven to JIL people to fulfill the vision and mission that they received from Him
for His glory alone. With fire and faith in their hearts, three Filipina members of the Jesus Is Lord Church (JIL) started
having a bible study and declaring that Jesus is Lord over Kitchener.
Through God’s grace and mercy, the three became more, and soon the
place of fellowship was a problem. But once again, God touched the heart of JIL family. A mission house was stablished at
401 Cedarwoods Tower.
In April 2006, JIl Kitchener started having a fellowship at the mission house. Ptr. Adelfa Tangonan was appointed
to be our Lay Pastor to shepherd us. God promised that as we lift Him up, He will draw more people to His Kingdom. And God's
promised was proven. Through the love and compassion that God put in our hearts, the fire keeps on burning to follow
God’s will and purpose and to continue to declare that Jesus is Lord over the world.
In November 2007, the Bible Study became a Sunday
service. JIL Kitchener started an afternoon service at Highpoint. Within a few months the numbers became larger and the room
cannot accommodate the attendees anymore. God’s faithfulness to JIL Kitchener was proven once again for He gave them
a larger and beautiful place at Howard Johnson Hotel.
In June 2007, JIL Kitchener started having a Sunday morning service. God continually draws more souls in to
the ministry as His faithfull servants continually serve Him and obey Him with all their hearts.
In November 18, 2007, we celebrated our first
year anniversary and thanksgiving. Celebrating God’s faithfulness to our lives and to the Ministry he entrusted, that
He is God that answers our prayers and that He is God yesterday, today and forever. Rev. Nicanor Gonzales delivered a message
that encouraged, deepen and strengthened our faith to Him with text in Isaiah 54:2.
Today, there are already four cell groups with
committed members, and having that faith to fulfill God’s purpose, while we are here on earth. To finish the race that
He has set before us. That He who began a good work shall come to completion until the day of Jesus Christ. To continue
to share the word of God to the needy that truly He is the way the truth and the life.
To God be the glory!
