Good Day my Family in Christ !!
How wonderful is the presence of the Lord ! Our time last night with the Lord was amazing ! We began to storm the thrown of God with prayer and His presence fill our church. We then sang TO HIM our hearts out and WOW ! That's all I can say is WOW ! Jessi, our worship leader began to sing " Night and day, night and day let YOUR name arise. Night and day, night and day let worship arise !" HIS presence was there!!  2 people gave their hearts to Jesus and 2 more rededicated themselves to the Lord!   God is drawing the lost hearts to HIM.
  The message was "Go tell some one" The woman at the well in John 4 went back to her village and told them about her encounter with Jesus.
Joh 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed upon Him because of the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that I ever did.   Notice that the woman was a very unlikely candidate to be an evangelist, but the fruit was people coming to Jesus. Another example is the demoniac at Gadarenes. In Mark 5 where Jesus cast out the "Legion" of demons from yet another unlikely evangelist that I affectionately call demon boy, Jesus told him after he was set free to go back and tell his village what God did for him. Mar 5:20 And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all marvelled. These unlikely ministry power houses brought many people to the Lord. All they did was share their personal encounter with every one they could and REVIVAL was the fruit. God is waiting for us to do the same.
  On another note , the pancake breakfast and hair cutting was a great success!! We raised over $350 to help with the woman's retreat in Sept. Thank you all who participated , helped  and gave !!
We look forward to seeing you this Wed at bible study at 7PM at  ILCC and next Sat night at 6:00.  Come expecting !!
We love and appreciate you !!

GPS: God's Positioning System

Good Day my family in Christ !!
 What a great  time we had with the Lord and one with another last night at Island Church !! There were many visitors and friends attending with the Power and Presence of God very tangible ! Pastor Teresa has been reading Psalms  95 & 149 and stirring us up before we even begin to sing !!  The more enthusiastically we sing and worship God, the more HIS presence is tangible. The message was an encouragement to follow your GPS. ( Gods Positioning System) . God has great direction for us however we need to follow the prompts to reach our destiny. Just like your electric GPS, we have an antenna that picks up the heavenly signals built right into us.Rom 8:9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.  (NKJ) Also we know that our antenna is on Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness  (ALIGNS) with our spirit that we are the children of God. God built into us the ability to align directly with HIM and be led.  Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
  There are many scriptures that describe who we are called to be in Christ, or  that show us our destiny, (destination). One of our ladies from church Jamie shared a testimony about the Lord leading her toward this young man and had a word for him. Turns out that he had been asking God about the exact things she told him. WOW !   Jesus used GPS to direct Jamie to this young man and his path was set straight. It's not just about us, it's about impacting others for the Kingdom of God. Many came forward for prayer and healing and many were touched by the Lord. One lady had something choking her and one of our faithful prayer warriors cast  a demon off her in Jesus name, and she felt it leave !!  Yahoo Jesus !

  Next Sat. morning we have an outreach / fundraiser pancake breakfast and hair cut day. So please pray for it's success in the Lord and for new people to meet Jesus. It goes from 9 AM till 2 PM.
We hope to see you this Wed night at Bible study 7PM at ILCC and next Sat. at 6PM.
We Love and appreciate you,
Pastors Lee & Teresa DeMatos

Good day my family in Christ! Pastor Teresa and I are back from vacation and we've heard wonderful things happened while we were gone !!  This past week 4 people answered an invitation to receive Jesus and some people were healed !!  Thank you Jesus !!  Zee from Calvary Worship Center came with her team and worshipped the Lord followed by a message from Gram Jones !  The Holy spirit was there and all were moved !!  Gram spoke about getting out of Gods way. Don't keep saying you'll pray about it, when God told you to do something, just get out there and do IT !  Pray, however trust God to be GOD and it will all work out fine.
CALENDER :
