Hello LGM friends and partners!

President Thel Bringas regrets to inform you that the ministry will not be holding this year’s Annual Appreciation Dinner.

In past years, the event was traditionally held in March at Cerritos Performing Arts. This year the venue will not be available to us due to the pandemic. Additionally, group gatherings of the size we anticipate are currently prohibited by local authorities.

Past Appreciation Dinners were occasions to share the ministry’s vision and articulate its mission of touching people’s lives in the Philippines and elsewhere. The gatherings have also given a chance for many to enlist in tangible opportunities to make a difference in people’s lives across the sea.

Thank you so much for your prayers and faithful financial support towards LGM’s ministry! Please continue to stand alongside us in this endeavor.

Blessings to all!

LGM'S MISSION APPRECIATION DINNER
March 7th, 2020

Our Appreciation Dinners the past 8 years have been perfect opportunities for us to express our heartfelt gratitude to those who make it possible for LGM to do what we have set out to do for our Lord!

This year was no exception! In spite of a few cancellations relative to the virus scare, an impressive number still showed up to make a fun evening out of it! Our guest entertainer, Tenor Sal Malaki was outstanding as expected! His duets with Pastor Thel Bringas and Dyan Pesigan didn’t disappoint either!

We obviously appreciate all who worked so hard to make this event possible! The Lord bless and reward you! Many gave generously to the ministry, making this year’s donations the most we’ve ever had!

We want to believe God to make 2020 the most impactful ministry year for LGM ever! Amen! Pastor Thel Bringas says, "Let's do it again next year..... God willing".

Lifestream 2019 Mission

All glory to Jesus for what He has done through our 2019 Evangelistic Medical Mission, November 19-21 in Iloilo & Bacolod! 900 people received wholistic ministry including medical, dental, vision & circumcision services in the 3 locations we served! Recipients were also served refreshments and received a bag of rice with some groceries along with used clothes/shoes from “balikbayan” boxes sent from the U.S.! Of greatest importance was the fact that 700 gave their lives to Christ! Hallelujah! Below are shots from our 3 Mission locations:
1. The town of Banate, Iloilo,
3. Barangay Cubay, Jaro, Iloilo
4. Bacolod City

The LGM family celebrated by hosting its 7th Annual Appreciation Dinner for patrons and friends on March 23 in the elegant Sierra Room of the Cerritos Center for Performing Arts. Board Vice President Chi-Chung Keung emceed the event along with Narah Jayasekera. LGM partner (Rev.) Ren Sabio blessed the evening with an opening prayer.

The Appreciation Dinner is perhaps the best opportunity each year for LGM President Thel Bringas and Sonia Bringas to update loyal and generous stakeholders on the programs and life-changing resources they make possible for LGM to deliver. This year was no exception.

Each year, LGM also presents the Dr. Arthur & Evelyn Thompson Award to an honoree chosen for extraordinary service and commitment to the LGM mission. This year’s recipient is Dr. Manolito Fidel. Dr. Fidel was recognized for leading and organizing a medical mission to deliver much needed treatment and supplies in his hometown of Halayhayin, Pililla, Rizal, an endeavor that required tremendous sacrifices of time and money. Incidentally, this was the second medical mission conducted by Dr. Fidel’s family and the medical team. In August of this year, they’ll be holding their third, at Lifestream Tanauan, Batangas, with Pastor Fernan Vitug coordinating the event.

Dr. Fidel served two terms on the LGM Board of Directors and recently transitioned from the governing board to its Advisory Board, joining the first Thompson Award recipient, Dr. Edward Lieskovan in that capacity.

Entertainment is always a major component of the Annual Appreciation Dinner. This year was no exception, as Jess Marfil on the saxophone and Blessing Runes on keyboards provided instrumental music throughout the evening, and the Kaibigan Club, from the local ABC School District, featured several traditional Filipino dance selections. Concluding the entertainment portion of the program, LGM President Thel Bringas was joined by Dr. Ken Abjelina, Dr. Marvin Barros, and Ramon Retuya to form a vocal quartet that is always guaranteed to elevate and to put a smile on the collective face of their audience.

Ken Bringas, Senior Pastor of New Life Foursquare Church, closed the evening by providing an insightful, scripturally-centered perspective on the importance of giving and its place as an integral part of Kingdom work. His message touched the hearts of more than 175 attendees. Although not technically a fundraiser, the Annual Appreciation Dinner provides an opportunity for its friends and patrons to tangibly express their support of the LGM vision and mission. As in past years, the generosity of the LGM community was a tremendous affirmation that the Lord is using us all for important and necessary work.
