HLCC: His Life Canopy Churches


What is HLCC?
It stands for -- His Life Canopy Churches!

===================================

HLCC can meet anytime, anywhere AND may be organized by anyone!

=======================================================

ALL YOU NEED TO HAVE A Canopy Church Meeting: 
  • BRING a SACK of RICE!
  • A Kilo must be distributed for FREE (only to the MEN attending the meeting)
  • PROGRAM is as follows:
    1. FUN -- a quick game.  Example:  ARM Wrestling Contest; Who has the most number of PUSH-UPS; and other PARLOR GAMES.  
        • Then SINGING of PRAISE SONGS!
    2. FORMATION -- A 2O minute PREACHING of the Word (regarding Repentance, Total Commitment; Hell vs Heaven; A Bible Character [MEN]; Faith; Honor; Respect; Family Leadership and etc).  
        • This will then be followed by GIVING of OFFERINGS (always teach this to eliminate "poverty").  
        • PROPHETIC DECLARATION and PRAYER must be DECLARED BY EVERYONE aloud! 
    3. FOOD -- giving of THE 1 KILO of RICE to attenders (Men only);  giving of 2 KILOS of RICE for the WINNER of the GAME in # 1.
    4. FELLOWSHIP  -- a time to lay hands on everyone to be prospered by the Lord in His Purposes in life.  
    5. FORWARD -- BYE BYE ... and some Announcement for the NEXT Sunday Meeting.  
NOTE:  Canopy Churches must be meeting WEEKLY at 7am or at 2am.
ONLY FOR 50 MEN (since we only can distribute 50 KILOS of RICE -- per sack).

==============================================================

I believe we have to FEED the POOR!
- physically -- breaking the heart :-)
- spiritually -- breaking death :-)
- mentally -- breaking mind-sets :-)

==============================================================

LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE A HEART FOR THE POOR! and the POOREST!
- we need a GUITAR for EACH HLCC Site
- we need a CANOPY for EACH HLCC Site
- we need a SACK of RICE per Weekly Meeting per SITE

=================================================

CLICK HERE FOR THE VISION OF 12 BELOW

---------------------------
Note:
I started today March 11, 2012 ...
- despise not humble beginnings
- it was a Test Drive
- 14 men came!  (these are people who USUALLY NEVER comes to church -- NEVER!!!) but they came today!
- REACTIONS:  they liked what happened. 
- they are looking forward to the NEXT ... (I told them April ... every SUNDAY na!)
- THEY WERE GIVEN the:
  • WORD (preaching)
  • PRAYER (ministering) one by one (laid hands)
  • 1 KILO of RICE (blessing)  
- I am building a SIMPLE Curriculum for them (1 VERSE only per Sunday, like John 1:12, John 14:6, John 3:16, etc)

GOALS: 
1)  HAVE MULTIPLE CANOPY CHURCHES! (from 1 to 3 to 5 to 7 to 10 and onwards). 
2)  HAVE EACH SITE at HLM give only 1 SACK of RICE per month towards a CANOPY CHURCH!
3)  FEATURED to be a REGULAR MINISTRY (part of the system of a SITE).  Example:  DURING Communion ... RICE be collected.

IDEAS:
1)  Every WEEK has an EMPHASIS (example): TO KEEP THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE and break BOREDOM!
a)  Week 1 -- guests from another SITE ministers ... to pray one by one.
b)  Week 2 -- emphasis on COMING NOT EMPTY HANDED ... offering time.
c)  Week 3 -- a testimony from someone.
d)  Week 4 -- RICE plus another surprise
e)  Every Quarter -- Coffee and Breakfast
f)  Every Year -- BEACH OUT!

Note:  [IM USING DIFFERENT NAMES for confidentiality] ... these people were won through 
the HOTEL Ministry!

  • my biggest example would be, Tito RALPH (not his real name), husband of Tita MARSHA (not her real name) ... 
  • and Nong RUDY (not his real name), husband of BARBARA. 
  • their wives had difficulty inviting them to go to "church" but through EASTView Hotel Worship Celebration, they started attending and now one of them became an active Volunteer! And the other one is now a happy regular attender! 
  • another example is HAROLD (not his real name), he doesnt have any smallgrp but regularly attends the MAIN SERVICE at Robinsons ... now he has his LifeGroup with the Eastview team! We have tapped his potential, and he is using his gifts as form of service to God!
HER ANSWER TO QUESTION # 4
  • definitely we can relate this to our Vision of GLORIFY GOD & MAKE DISCIPLES. 
  • we saw changed lives! 
  • its easy to consolidate people because u get to know them personally through interaction.  kay dutay lng hapos mag consolidate.
  • the Gospel is preached.  Example of this is the growth of the youth of EASTVIEW  ... when DERICK and BETINA (not their real names) Volunteered, our youth started to grow in numbers! 
  • YX, have their LifeGroups now and a Prayer TEAM! 
  • they brought the fire of YX with them! 
  • kanami gd kay prayer is being intensified ... last Thursday MIKE (not his real name) lead us in prayer and kanami gid! For me, I'm blessed to be part of this team [at EASTVIEW] ... I am growing in my faith. 
  • i saw God's faithfulness at EASTVIEW Hotel Ministry. 
  • seeing changed lives inspires me to go forth and serve HIM. 
  • though there are frustrations sometimes but its God's strength that keeps us going on.
  • having a HOTEL CHURCH SERVICE opens the Word of God to people who are not comfortable going to a TRADITIONAL church SET-UP (especially NON-CHRISTIANS yet]

==============================================================
HERE'S WHAT  
Brother REY MAQUERO RICARDO SHARED
(he is a Volunteer for Worship and the Youth at CEBU's Golden Peak Hotel)


HIS ANSWER TO QUESTION # 1

What are the advantages of MEETING in a HOTEL as a Church / Fellowship Group? 
  • practically no need much for a hakot team and set up team hotel stuff are there already, easy to invite specially if the hotel are known.
  • people seems hesitant to come if you invite them for a church. but when they know that your meeting in a hotel their religious thoughts in you will diminished compared to a own church building. the moment they come to church, God's word will never let them go at dyan nag uumpisa ang transformation. hehe 
  • Glorify God making Disciples... hotel church ministry basically didnt have their own so called church building. the function room that there using can be use by other group of people doing non spiritual stuff. meaning to say we can glorify God by relating to worldy stuff to expand his kingdom. most of the time worldy people yung nag memeet sa hotel mga businessman but we the church go to a hotel acting like a businessman yet we are worshiping God there. ginagamit ang hotel as a resource to Glorify him. while in making disciples Hotel is so great. pag marami ng beliver sa isang area they could just rent a hotel to gather kaysa hihintaying mag build ng own church that will take two decades para matapos.in short its easy to rent a room in a particular place to have fellowship than building an own church structure. [:D]

HERE'S WHAT  
Brother GREG Ledesma SHARED 
(He is our Youth Pastor for Iloilo Business Hotel)
 

HIS ANSWER TO QUESTION # 1: 
What are the advantages of MEETING in a HOTEL as a Church / Fellowship Group?
  • convenient venue
  • less set up due to the workers of the hotel are helping
HIS ANSWER TO QUESTION # 2:
What things have you seen to be of an advantage for the City people? 
Why do you say so?

  • Advantages for the city people:   
  • they come with an expectant heart due to the nice convenient place. 
  • the city people wants a good and very clean place for them to come to, that’s what the hotel has and offers
  • nice service of the hotel personnel 
  • city people are in to modern social life and one of the nicest place to go to is a HOTEL.


HIS ANSWER TO QUESTION # 3:
Can you share ONE or TWO stories ... on how the HOTEL church MINISTRY has impacted people and changed people?
  • Hotel Church Ministry Story: Personally, what I observed is that people tend to tend to hear the word PROFESSIONALLY, SOCIALLY and SPIRITUALLY and when they received it, it has the impact in their lives. 
  • Here in YX Iloilo, we are meeting at the Hotel every Sunday 330pm and praise be to GOD that starting from our Launching in the HOTEL last Feb. 12, 2012, we have an AVERAGE of 5 young people EVERY WEEK committing their lives to Jesus, and I believe that it transformed them because we can see the fruits, some of them are in the LifeGroups already and some of them are helping out in the ministry Now. And it helps gives them the excitement to invite others also to attend church in a HOTEL!!!! Whaoh…. 
  • Today’s generation is much different from the past, though some of them before meet at the HOTEL for some occasion. But today HOTEL MINISTRY is much different and new from the traditional church that we have before.

HIS ANSWER TO QUESTION # 4:
How can we relate GLORIFY GOD. MAKE DISCIPLES here?
  •  HLHM set-up is one of the things that the people IN the CITY are looking for. 
  • CITY life is SOCIAL life for them! 
  • This is one way of connecting with them as we bring Glory to GOD and as we know that DISCIPLESHIP is a RELATIONSHIP meaning we can more be engaged with them in this kind of Ministry.    
  • HLHM set-up can also be an avenue to both the middle class and high-class personality. Believe it or not, even the lower class wants to mingle and have some social life in the hotel set-up. Therefore, we can make disciples through this HLHM set-up.

============================================= 
Here's WHAT Brother ROBERT BOSWELL said:

My American friend gave me some QUICK ANSWERS!
Note: Robert Boswell (Bob) was the one who introduced the ECUBE to us at His Life.
(He was part of the WaterFront CEBU GCF Group that met in that Hotel) 

Advantages of a Hotel Ministry are:
  • you don't have to spend energy to manage, clean, maintain the facilities. You don't have to clean the bathrooms etc. 
  • You get to bless strangers who just arrived in town. 
  • The environment is neutral ground / non-threatening. 
  • you are not putting tons of money into a building which means more money for missions.
==================================================

ARE YOU READY TO START an HLHM IN YOUR CITY?  

find the best hotel ... and make disciples!
 
ARE YOU READY TO START AN hLhM IN AN ISLAND?

find the best hotel ... this summer and make disciples!

PRAY ... LISTEN ... THEN go GLORIFY GOD AND MAKE DISCIPLES!
