We are delighted to share what transpired during the Restoration Conference 2023, held from August 24th to 25th. We once again held this event at the Luminate Church and we witnessed a powerful move of God that we will cherish forever.

On Thursday night, there was an earnest hunger for a divine encounter. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, and during the anointed preaching of Bro Joel Buxton on the topic “Does Hell Know Your Name?”, the presence of the Holy Spirit descended upon us.

We are thrilled to report that two people were filled with the Holy Ghost that night.  Lauren, a member of Luminate Church and also a young man who commutes all the way from downtown LA to Covina for church service!

The blessings continued to be poured out on Friday night, with even more attendees than the previous evening. Once again, God’s presence was palpable as Bro Joel Buxton delivered a powerful message titled “When What Hurts, Helps.”

Four visitors visited the church for the very first time on this evening and incredibly, three out of these four individuals received the Holy Ghost.  Two of these visitors chose to visit West Covina church the following Sunday, where one, named Dianne, who had not received the Holy Ghost during the Restoration Conference, finally experienced this incredible blessing at our West Covina church service.

We give thanks for the Restoration Conference 2023 and what God has done!

What an awesome day of Sunday School! We learned just how BIG our God is and once again were blessed to see our children in the altar praying!

Our city once again invited ILC to be a member of the national night out and we had a crew there to host! We gave out approximately 600 balloons, all of our snow cones and water bottles and LOTS of invitations to church!

This Sunday, July 30 was All Nations Sunday and marked the single biggest service ILC has ever had that did not involve other churches. 855 people were in attendance and what a time we had! Bro Shephard from Jordan preached, we ate food from all around the world and had activities that were both silly and fun. So thankful for the blessing of God on ILC!

PEAK was an incredible event this year… so thankful for everyone that was able to attend!

The 2023 Bible Quizzing season ended this past month. We had 15 quizzers attend nationals and quizzed in each division! Our Beginner team was: Alex Santiago and Parker Kendrick (Fresno). Quizzing in the Junior division was: Zane Dillon, Cody Arnett, Dawson Booker, and Anthony Lopez. Our Intermediate quizzers were: Elayna Booker, Christopher Santiago, Randy Lee, Ryan Lee, and Ryan Dunahoe. And lastly, our Experienced team was: Daniel Tirado Jr., Jose Montoya, Oscar Echaverria, and Natalya Booker.

We are so proud of our quizzers! They did a fantastic job at the tournament.

Our Beginners and Juniors won two of their games and lost two games. The Junior’s two games that were lost came down to the very last question! The Intermediate Team also quizzed well and placed 4th overall in the nation! Our Experienced team also did an amazing job in their quizzes. Our teams also had individual achievements at the tournament. Natalya Booker quizzed out in her team’s winning quiz and received a gold medal for having a near-perfect quiz. Christopher Santiago quizzed out in multiple games and received a silver medal in two games. Elayna Booker received a silver medal in a quiz and was the 7th highest scorer in the overall tournament. This was also Daniel Tirado Jr.’s last year in Bible Quizzing after 5 years of putting God’s Word in his heart. It has been an incredible season of Bible Quizzing this year and we are looking forward to next season when our quizzers study the book of Acts!

Our Sunday School recently had a Sunday School Rally with Bro. Phillips. We are rejoicing over all God is doing with our children! During the altar call, Trezila received the Holy Ghost and many were refilled! He’s still moving and filling our kids with the Holy Ghost!

At the Holy Ghost Rally, time was also taken to award the bus riders, students, and bus worker of the month. Our bus riders for the month are Aiden, Zahaven, Jeremiah, Hazel,and Isabella. These kids are excited about Sunday School, invite their friends and family, and are kind to all. Jeremiah also recently received the Holy Ghost! The students of the month are Elena (Toddler Class), Maddy (Super Class), Hannah (Youth), and Kevin (Youth). A few special notes from their Sunday School teachers included their faithfulness and involvement in their classes. Elena has helped teach the plan of Salvation to her Kindergarten class! Maddy is an altar worker and can be found fervently praying for others. These are just two examples of the awesome things that make us Holy Ghost proud of our students of the month. Our bus worker of the month is Bro. Seth Clark! He is part of our Yellow Route and does an amazing job. Bro. Seth has a passion for Sunday School and brings a crazy, fun energy to his route. 

We are Holy Ghost proud of all of our students who received awards and we are rejoicing with all of our students who have received and been renewed in the Holy Ghost at this rally. God is moving in our Sunday School and we are excited and anticipating great things.

Ladies Day 2023 was a powerful meeting! God showed up greatly from the beginning of service through the altar call. We were blessed to have Sis. Lorraine Bertram from Lakeside, CA and Sis. Connie Tiller from Carrollton, KY as our guest speakers this year! Ladies were empowered and restored and left the meeting ready to win the battle and declare “Hallelujah, Jesus!” 

Sis. Bertram spoke about it being time to fight and how our mind is the first place the enemy attacks. She then taught that our weapons of warfare are prayer and worship. This powerful lesson was followed up with a mighty move of God as women across the sanctuary were picking up their weapons of spiritual warfare.

Sis. Tiller spoke on saying “Hallelujah, Jesus” in the middle of the storm. It is a small statement with great impact as it is giving praise to God and surrendering it to Him. She taught seven Hebrew words for praise and how they differed. She encouraged women to worship their way into victory. After Sis. Tiller spoke there was another powerful move of the Holy Ghost and women were encouraged and empowered.
