A Catholic Prayer Meeting of the LIGHT OF JESUS FAMILY

April 8, 2012 SMX Convention Center

I PRAY for you every day. When my little family—my wife and two boys—pray together in the morning, we pray

for you too.Because I know what you’re going through. The challenges. The disappointments.

The heartbreaks. I pray for all sorts of things for you: Blessings. Miracles. Healing. I especially pray for those

going through trials. But more important, I pray that you’ll rise from the trials as a champion.I pray that you learn how to bounce.Because it’s the most important trait of the champion.Jesus bounced. He fell on Good Friday and bounced on Easter Sunday. And the power that

made Him bounce is the same power that will make you bounce as well.Are you going through a problem right now? Don’t ever give up!This month, we’re starting a brand new series at all the Feasts titled Bounce. Here’s our big

message: The harder you fall, the higher you bounce. It has three life-giving talks:

Talk 1: Bounce Back Talk 2: Bounce Again Talk 3: Bounce Forward

Get a real lift. Elevate your spirit. Catch Bounce at the Feast nearest you.Enjoy God’s Love today at our Grand Easter Feast!

May your dreams come, true,

BO SANCHEZ

GET READY FOR YOUR

SPECIAL EASTER OFFERING—

AND GET READY FOR YOUR

EASTER BLESSING TOO!

THIS Easter, I invite you to join our Special Easter Offering.

This Offering is for those who want to give more to God, above and beyond their regular giving—out of gratitude for all His blessings. The Bible calls this Sacrificial Offering, because it’s aside from the regular tithe.

We’ll use this Special Easter Offering to help build 36 new Feasts around the country and the world. (To know more about these new Feasts, check the succeeding pages.)

This excites me so much. Imagine, we’re building 36 new “oasis” of spiritual nourishment for people who are hungry for God’s Love. Imagine the thousands who will become disciples because of these 36 new Feasts.

For this Special Easter Offering, I’m speaking especially to those who want to give more to God because of the exceeding abundant way He has blessed them.

Our God-sized goal for this Special Easter Offering is P5 million.

Friend, God has given us the greatest mission ever.

Come and serve with me!

May your dreams come true,

BO SANCHEZ

THIS is where your tithes and love offerings go. Without your offerings to God, none of these

will be possible.Here is a sampling of our newer Feasts

throughout the world. Sorry, we lack space to write all of the fantastic things happening around the world. Believe me, this is an incomplete list. So many other wonderful things are happening all over the planet.

This partial list includes the Feasts 1) that are about to be born, or 2) that have just been born, or 3) that are toddlers who were born last year.

And your Special Easter Offering will help us build more Feasts and make more disciples of Jesus.

Our God-sized goal is to raise P5 million in our Special Easter Offering to help build 36 new Feasts around the world.

2 New Feasts in Makati Business DistrictWe already have two Feasts in Makati led by Randy Borromeo: the AIM Feast (top) every Thursday night and the Makati Square Feast (above) every Sunday morning. We’ll be building two more Feasts in Makati—a Tuesday night and a Wednesday night—led by Jan Silan (right). Single people are coming closer to God.

Afternoon Feast in PICC GrowingA few persons said it won’t work out. They said, “Bo preaches in the morning at PICC. How can another

Feast Builder preach in PICC in the afternoon? That’s impossible.

People will always prefer Bo.” But we’ve proven them

wrong. Alvin Barcelona and his team are now growing the afternoon session beautifully. Some 500 persons now join the 3:45

p.m. Feast in PICC. People love Alvin’s messages, the powerful worship, and the happy fellowship of the afternoon session (as well as waking up a little bit later on Sunday mornings!).

One New Feast in AlabangWe already have four Feasts in Festival Mall, Alabang—three on Sunday led by Arun Gogna (right) and one on

Wednesday night led by Jay Yogawin. We launched a fifth session for Saturday nights temporarily led by Randy

Borromeo, until a new Feast Builder is installed.

MY SUNDAY HAS COME

By KIM PAMPLONA

“TODAY may be Friday, but Sunday is coming!”

Bro. Bo Sanchez said those words during the Grand Easter Feast held at the SMX Convention Center last year, April 24, 2011. He said Good Friday, the peak of the Passion of Christ, symbolizes trials, while the Christ’s Resurrection on Easter Sunday symbolizes triumph over those trials.

Earlier, I had begun to attend the Feast PICC. Then I left for abroad to pursue a dream. There, I suffered rejection, so painful, I wondered how I could ever live with my wounded pride.

On April 10, 2011, a Sunday, I travelled back to Manila, crying in the plane throughout my trip. From the airport, I went straight to Feast PICC, as I needed healing from my hurts.

After the Feast, I joined a Caring Group. Although it was my first time to join the group, I couldn’t help telling the members my burden. Quietly, they

listened to me. Then they promised to pray for my healing.

And indeed, a few days after, my healing began-- at the Grand Easter Feast last year. There, I listened intently as Bro. Bo said we all go through Good Friday, but for sure, it would be fol-lowed by our Easter Sunday.

At the time, mine was a piercing Friday. But Bro. Bo’s words felt like a soothing balm for me.

Despite my misery, I knew that God’s stubborn love had stuck it out with me.

I also stuck it out with God, and even started to serve Him. Serving Him and surrounding myself with people who love God, had become my path-way to healing.

A few months after, I received a blessing that eased my pain. Yes, I had gone through my Friday. Now, I am at-tending this year’s Grand Easter Feast thankful that my Sunday has come.
