Destiny Leaders’ School of Ministry (DLSOM)
The 700 Club Asia sponsored the International Leaders’ School of Ministry held last April 20-26, 2008 at Caliraya, Laguna. It was spearheaded by John Arnott of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. He was the key person in the revival that happened in Toronto, Canada. Our senior pastors, Ptrs. Paul & Ahl yadao together with Ptrs. Nick Sosmeña, Ariel Tenorio and Marivic dela Vega were able to attend the conference. They experienced the love of God in a powerful and awesome way!
Some of the topics discussed in the conference included the revelation of the Cross, the Father’s love and the nurturing heart of God and soaking in His presence. They have practicum exercises in hearing God’s voice, prophecy & word of knowledge, and the third heavens. Their experiences left an indelible mark and an insatiable hunger for more. It was also an avenue to be able to minister to other pastors and to establish a connection with them.
On June 7 and 8 our pastors shared what they have experienced from the ILSOM, Destiny-style at the Lancaouon Hall, Jamboree Site, Laguna. There are around 150 Destiny people from all over Laguna and Alabang and as far as Mindoro who attended. It was yet another life-transforming event.
Testimonies
We must not be contented with a “changed life” but should spend every second of our lives in pursuit for transformation, from glory to glory. The key is “sonship” which our retreat made me realized and accepted not as a “superficial theory” but as a “tangible reality”. -Odie Dacmay
God healed my heart and my life was transformed. The revelation of the Father’s love and my identity in Him became so deep. –Mel Gamboa, SOD
During the supernatural soaking, God told me that He has a surprise for me this coming August and September. The following day, my wife, Jas and I saw a lot of feathers in our kitchen. We were amazed and my body started to shake and we both weep because of God’s love. I receive now my assignment in the mountain of arts. -Nilo Cacela, Alabang
What really hit me during the ILSOM is knowing that I am hidden in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I used to think that being hidden in Christ means that I am hiding behind a very “big guy.” I didn’t know that being hidden means being surrounded by the Three-in-one God. It brought such peace to my heart that I have this new sense of being secured in my Father’s love knowing that I can’t be separated from His love no matter what happens. -Ven Castillo, Malaysia
In a field were unseen is experienced – you become more closer to the truth: Christ heals and redeems. DLSOM is the field where men and women create a community with a strong sense of life, where change is celebrated and where hope is shared. -Dennis Gupa, UPLB
One of the biggest mistakes a Christian could have is to pursue maturity, to think he’s perfectly fine and to never consider presenting his issues to the Lord. Praise God for DLSOM because it opened another door for me to be totally honest, open and vulnerable to the Lord. Through this I have experienced a deeper level of love, grace and mercy from the Father. – Adrian Crisanto
For the past few months I have this feeling that I am not effective anymore in the things that I do. I also felt that there were things in my life that hinders me from fully experiencing the Kingdom and the King. When I went to Singapore and joined the ILSOM conducted by Daddy Paul, Mommy Ahl and company, a lot of things opened up for me. I begun to see those things that hindered me and it is in my mind. I was transformed!!!
- Brian Realiza, MalaysiaI’m healed up! Indeed when God speaks it’s impossible not to get wet! There were issues in me that I thought I’ve dealt with after many EGRs in the Philippines but I learned that I only applied band aids in these areas and that I still used old lenses to see through things and that there were roots not uprooted. The illustrations used in every session were very powerful and transforming. I experienced HIS healing love being poured unto my heart and my whole being again and again and again….waves upon waves. -Jen Catimbang, Cambodia
When we are in His kingdom, we enter His rest and grace, everything comes naturally. Hunger for His presence comes naturally even at busy times, love for His people comes naturally even for those who are unlovable to me, there is abundance in the middle of testing; there is joy in partnering through Him. These are the things that made me new after the session. Everything is not momentarily, but it grows from glory to glory. -Alve Narreto, Malaysia
For me, the most breaking part of the retreat was the session on the “Father’s Love”. I run away from God whenever he won’t give answers to my prayers and do things on my own. I surrendered this attitude to Him and then He wrapped me with love, like a transparent gel covering me. I felt the freedom.
-Len Fuentes, SingaporeMy Father God poured out His love for me generously and I am totally renewed. More than the third heaven experiences, His manifest presence satisfied the hungry hearts of His children. – Myla Rellosa, SOD
It was an awesome kingdom experience and revelation. That night of impartation was so powerful. I felt that God has put something inside of me. It’s beyond my understanding but I know in my spirit that I was invaded by our Father’s kingdom. It’s a continuous outpouring, like being under a waterfall. I was weakened by the heaviness of His presence that I literally crawled! It’s uncontainable! God is amazing.
-Rein Fajardo, SingaporeThe camp was awesome. I now have greater confidence to minister after attending it. The sessions are simply liberating. God’s presence rested mightily in every part. I believed I received something substantial in the spirit that could be passed on to others. Most of all, the experience had united my heart more in loving Jesus with all I am. –Rowell Pipit, USA

DLSOM gave me the whole picture of who i am right now and to where i am seated…i experienced healing and forgiveness from my past which i thought i was totaly healed – i was never been the same again.
The truth that Im walking with the Godhead (three in one) is such a powerful realization that I can do all things through Christ…and nothing can really separates me from His love..
during this session i saw shadows covering me and i really felt the Father’s hand upon my head. i felt secured and loved again…and i was shaking, shouting and crying all over. ..amazing!
and now, everywhere I go i always carry this truth…it creates security and identity inside of me…and power as I follow Him.
God’s way of revealing Himself is tremendously increasing – from glory to glory!!!
