Light of Jesus Family

The story of the Light of Jesus Family is a series of miracles. Here are three miracles that jump-started their mission.

FIRST MIRACLE: ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
On March 26, 1978, Gene and Pilar Sanchez (parents of Bo) attended a Charismatic prayer meeting in Project 7, Quezon City, named Upper Room, after the Upper Room of a house in Jerusalem where the apostles experienced a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

SECOND MIRACLE: A PROPHECY
On August 29, 1981, Bo attended a leaders’ seminar with Sis. Aida Manongdo, leader of the Upper Room prayer group. In this seminar, a prophecy was received that along with other leaders, Bo would preach the Word outside the Philippines.

THIRD MIRACLE: VISION OF A LIGHTHOUSE
On September 9, 1980, the Sanchez family started prayer meetings at the garage of their home at 56 Chicago Street, Cubao, Quezon City. On September 9, 1981, they formed the group into a faith community named the Light of Jesus (LOJ), after a vision of a lighthouse received by the friend of Bo’s mother.

THREE MAJOR MINISTRIES
The Light of Jesus Family exists in obedience to the mandate of Jesus to His apostles before He ascended into Heaven: “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). After deep prayer, Bo received a message from the Holy Spirit to set the Light of Jesus with three major ministries:

MISSION

•  The Feast Family, an online prayer group, a borderless, international community of friends who support each other’s personal growth.
