The Promise
of an Open
Door
“God had already done something fantastic in
LGI’s recent past. But I believe that God is still
not finished with us. We have an unlimited supply
of grace! Can we even imagine grace succeeding
grace perpetually? That’s why I definitely believe
God is still going to do more.” - Ptr. Art Calaguas

We thank God for the promise of an open

door — opportunities for expansion, endless
possibilities and new seasons of grace and victory!
After 15 years of Truth, Power and Love, we can

Praise God for the first ever Prophetic Youth Summit! What is
more exciting is that this was handled by our young FireWatchers.
The FireWatch intensive prayer course has produced worshipers who
translated their passion into birthing a conference right after their
graduation.
Even super typhoon Ompong was no match for their prophetic
prayers and powerful declarations. Despite strong winds and rains, 89
came to attend the conference.
We had two very anointed speakers. Cookie Puno spoke about
how the prophetic can usher a revival explosion. Ptr. Allen of Church
So Blessed Las Piñas activated the gift of prophecy and everyone was
able to prophesy. He emphasized that love and wisdom is the
antidote that will overcome the pitfalls of moving in the prophetic
gifts. Miracles happened on the spot and people testified to healing
and accurate prophetic words.
The offshoot of the Summit is the revived Gatekeepers ministry of
intercession during WindWatch services. We pray for more passion,
power and wisdom for our youth!
Many thanks to Abigail Modales, Allaine Reyes and Laarni de
Belen for birthing this powerful conference. - CCP

The Holy Spirit is given to us without limit! Nothing can limit us
anymore. We can build walls to protect us and break down walls
that hinder us. We can bridge heaven and earth through the power
of the Holy Spirit!
We thank God for the 4th WindWatch Conference! We
experienced intense and prophetic worship with the FireWatchers
taking the lead. We had three powerful speakers, Ptr. Cris Navarro,
Atty. Charles Puno and Ptr. Jeff Gatdula, who spoke about making
an impact on earth through the heaven-like and supernatural
ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Ptr. Jeff made healing call outs and the FireWatchers prayed

Praise God for breakthrough! For the
first time, we have 3 classes ongoing at the
same time. And 11 out of 13 are new
students — 7 Sparks (toddlers), 4 Flares
(younger nursery) and 2 Stars (older
nursery) — an increase from our usual 8.

We are giving kids longer play time.
Guided Play is a springboard for the kids’
physical, socio-emotional and cognitive
development. Aside from strengthening
their small and big muscles, they learn to
make friends, deal with conflicts, manage
their emotions, take turns, and respect and
accept other people’s choices. It also helps
them become independent, develop their
self-esteem and language skills.
This year, we introduced Sensory Play.
It stimulates a child's senses of touch, smell,
taste, sight, hearing, and anything that
engages movement and balance. New
stimulus creates new experiences and new
experiences create new learning.
We have also incorporated prayer
declarations in our daily routine. Before
going home, Teacher declares a blessing
for the students. Our new students are
gradually absorbing the culture of prayer.
When their classmates are absent, they
don’t forget to mention them in prayer so
that they can come to school the
following day.

We recently finished our Parent-
Teacher Conference for the 1st Quarter.
One parent said that they appreciate the
school’s commitment in building their
child’s character and socio-emotional skills,
and not just their academic skills. We have
a student from Fairview and the parents
said that they don’t mind the long
commute because they see the positive
effect of our preschool on her. Another set
of parents said that as they witness how
we do things in school, they are also
learning how to discipline and teach their
child at home.
We’ve been posting weekly
infographics with facts and tips, practical
do’s and don’ts in our Facebook page to
help equip preschool parents. We will
also offer a FREE seminar “Develop Your
Parenting Skills” developed by Assistant
Director and Teacher Karmina Santos on
November 17, 9-12NN.

We are proud to say that our LGI
Kids graduates are flourishing in their
respective kindergartens! We have
received reports from the parents of our
former students that they are doing very
well in school. One of them received
awards in the first quarter for Best in
Reading, Best in Memory Verse, Friendly
and Most Attentive. Another former
other student impressed her teachers
with her reading skills at the start of the
school year! Other parents also report
how their kids miss the LGI Kids Play and
Pray Center and that they long to go
back and visit. One of our current
students also recently passed her
kindergarten admissions test at St. Pedro
Poveda College and is set to attend that
school next year. - KSS
