JIL BC ICARE- CLIMB ATHON PROJECT

“CLIMB A THON PROJECT at Grouse Grind, June 6, 2009
(Giving school backpacks and school supplies for the needy children)


From the time I accepted this challenge to take this post as iCARE head for BC. Questions such as who will help me? How can I fulfill this new challenge with excellence? Are few of my questions that were answered on the day of Climb a Thon project at Grouse Grind? For I have proven that this event become successful NOT because of one person BUT because of UNITY of all JIL BC’s pastors/coordinators, leaders, workers, and congregation. Therefore I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for all your contributions (known or unknown). With your hands, feet, talents and of course your pledge we CONQUER GROUSE MOUNTAIN. PRAISE THE LORD, GIVE GOD THE GLORY!!!!!


One Sunday, the preacher in Newton Church mentioned a story of a man that gave his tithes and offering to the Lord and stated “Lord I want to see this offering in heaven”. As soon as he mentioned that I was reminded of a song that talks exactly about this man’s proposal to the Lord. And this song is “THANK YOU FOR GIVING TO THE LORD”. I have inserted and paraphrase some lines
THANK YOU FOR GIVING TO THE LORD
By Ray Boltz

I dreamed I went to Heaven, you were there with me.
We walked upon the streets of gold beside the Crystal Sea.
We heard the angels singing, and then someone called your name.
You turned and saw this young man, and he was smiling as he came.

He said, "Friend you may not know me now," and then he said,

"But wait -You pledge during CLIM A THON, when I was only eight.

I learned how to say a prayer before the class would start.And one day said a prayer, I asked Jesus in my heart."
Chorus

Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed.

Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you, he said

"Remember the time, A missionary came to your church,

His pictures made you cry.You didn't have much money

but you gave it anyway.Jesus took that gift you gave

And that's why I'm in Heaven today"

Chorus

Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed.

Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am so glad you gave.

One by one they came, far as your eyes could see.

Each life somehow touched by your generosity.

Little things that you had done, sacrifices that you made,

They were unnoticed on this earthIn Heaven now proclaimed.

Chorus

Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed.

Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am so glad you gave.

And I know up in Heaven you're not supposed to cry

But I am almost sure there were tears in your eyes

As Jesus took your hand and you stood before the Lord

He said "My child look around you Great is your reward.”

“MY SON LOOK AROUND YOU GREAT IS YOUR REWARD”,These are the words awaits you when you come face to face with our God.

I also would like to congratulate all winners.
To all climbers, THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
