Co-Sponsorship Speech of Sen. JV Ejercito on the 46th Founding Anniversary of Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide
September 25, 2024
Mr. President, my dear colleagues, good afternoon.
I rise today to co-sponsor Senate Resolution 1185 that
commends and celebrates the 46th founding anniversary of the Jesus is Lord
Church Worldwide this coming October 12th, 2024.
Mr. President, to quote from scripture, “A city on a hill
cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone…”
In the 46 years that the Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide has
been in existence in our country, it has served as a shining city on a hill
that serves as a lighthouse for all to see. From its very humble beginnings as
a bible study group of 15 members at the Polytechnic University of the
Philippines in the late 70’s, to the powerhouse Church of more than a milliion
members that it has become today, the Jesus is Lord Church worldwide continues
to be a force for good in our society.
Ginoong Pangulo, kasabay ng pagbibigay-pugay sa simbahan ng
Jesus is Lord ay ang karampatang pagkilala sa pinuno at kinikilalang ama nito,
walang iba kung hindi si Brother Eddie Villanueva.
From the clamor of the streets to the quiet introspection of
prayer, Brother Eddie’s life of service to our Nation and the Almighty is a
testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the transformative
grace of God.
Muli po, nagpapasalaamat at kinikilala natin ang Jesus is
Lord Church Worldwide at sa lahat ng mga programa at affiliates nito tulad ng
Light TV for spreading programs that promote good values in our airwaves, Jesus
is Lord College Foundation Inc for helping shape our next generation, at
lalong-lao na din po ang sa iCare Compassion Ministries Foundation, Inc.
established as the compassion ministry of the JIL Church.
Ginoong Pangulo, sa lahat ng kabutihang inaambag ng Jesus is
Lord Church sa ating Bayan, we can only hope and pray that they continue for
another hundred years more.
Muli’t muli, isa pong mainit at malugod na pagbati sa inyong
ika- apatnapu't anim (46) na anibersaryo!
Maraming maraming salamat po.
