THE MAN, HIS MESSAGE AND THE MINISTRY

From a communist-atheist to one of the most powerful preachers of God’s Word in the world today. From a radical activist to the founder-pastor of one of the largest Christ-centered, Bible-based, full-gospel churches in the world. From a battle-scarred street parliamentarian to one of the most respected Christian leaders in the Philippines whose spiritual counsel is sought after by high-ranking officials and distinguished leaders of the nation. From a persecuted “small, country preacher’ to a world-renown radio-TV evangelist, prophet and apostle whose vision and mission is to see the nations of the world evangelized and transformed by the same Gospel that changed his life.

This in a capsule captures the exciting life story of Eddie Villanueva, fondly called Bro. Eddie or Bishop Eddie.

March signals the end of the quarter and for many of our children, it will mark a significant milestone in there lives–GRADUATION.

JIL Worldwide’s theme for the month is FINISHING WELL, a remembrance of how we must always persevere in our current race in life.

It does not  matter how fast or slow or difficult the race we are in. What matters is that we understand that God is there to give us the strength we need to finish it and be deemed worthy to be His CALLED, CHOSEN and FAITHFUL followers

In Christ,
Romeo Dimarucut

Bro. Eddie C. Villanueva, the Spiritual Director and Founder of the Jesus Is Lord, had a life-changing encounter with the Lord in 1973 while at the forefront of a leftist movement fighting against the evils of a vicious system that has perpetuated social injustice and massive deprivation in the country. At that time, he was also leading his family and other families in his home province of Bulacan (an hour away north of Manila) in an uphill, protracted legal battle against a notorious land-grabbing syndicate.

Five days after that dramatic encounter with God, Bro. Eddie was brought face to face with a miracle he could never forget: the land-grabbers were arrested and detained. But a greater miracle took place in Bro. Eddie’s heart: The Holy Spirit “arrested” him. He became a true believer in the reality of a loving and powerful God! He surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ and soon after, his wife Dory also gave her life to the Lord.
