A GLORIOUS NIGHT!

Last Saturday evening, an estimated 300 people entered the Corona Civic Center Auditorium to attend Illumination 2009! They were treated with music from our own CICF Praise Band, Papuri USA, and the former lead singer of Santana - Leon Patillo!

Why was it a Glorious Night? Because that evening, 21 people between the ages of 16 to 60 responded to the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Glory to God!

I was so inspired by the unity and hard work that each and every member of CICF demonstrated to make this event possible. It's a humble testimony of what God could do through those who persevere and put their trust and faith in Him. I love you all CICF! Thanks for the unity of love and the spirit of fellowship that we all share! Good times and bad times - thanks for not giving up! Thanks for your perseverance! Thanks for your committment to Christ and His Church! I'm so proud of all of you!

I'd also like to thank Papuri USA! You were all great! The blending of your voices was amazing! Special thanks to their soundman Brother Ted! When it comes to problem solving, you're the man to go to!

And of course...Thanks Leon! You are just a bundle of incredible spiritual energy! Your love for the Lord shows through your music and is very inspiring! Thank you so much my friend! Thanks Renee for your hardwork as well!

My thanks to all our Christian friends and pastors from the east and west coast of America, to all the way from the Philippines for your partnership in prayer for this event. You share credit in this harvest as well.

And most of all...thank You my Lord God for your faithfulness! All the Glory, Honor, and Praise rightfully belongs to You...and only You.

Pictures and Video clips are still coming in, so keep checking this blog for an upcoming photo-video recap of Illumination 2009!

But for now, here's a video clip of one of the songs Leon Patillo sang that night. Be Blessed.
