     Well-supported by prayers and dynamically serviced by the passionate members of working committees, the first concert of JCMI’s New Generation Band, dubbed “The Breakthrough,” has turned out to be a general success and victory.

     The concert’s primary purpose is to raise funds for the building vision of the church. From the moment the fellowship was founded more than 2 years ago in a house of a member, it has grown speedily until attendance in Sunday services are big at times to be accommodated in a rented space in Clemmons. The event was also a breakthrough for JCMI’s New Generation Band to perform in a major concert. The group consists of young but talented Christian Filipino youths who possess extraordinary commitment and boldness to present a big show for the honor and glory of the Master.

     The concert started at 6:20 pm with an Opening Prayer led by Pastor Ed Tablason, Pastor of Triad Journey Fellowship in Winston Salem. Pastor Edward Pormilos, Associate Pastor of JCMI, gave the welcome words and event rationale. Two guest band performers preceded the main performer. The Oak Ridge United Methodist Church Band presented first then followed by the Simply Pinoy Band of Jesus Our Victory Church in Greensboro. The New Generation Band performed their first 7 songs with a loud welcome from the audience. Breaking the monotony of band performances, the kids of JCMI showcased a Praise Dance Number. Other breakers were the raffles of door ticket prizes and the recognition of sponsors. The New Generation then performed their last 7 songs. As God’s presence through His Spirit heightened, Pastor Roger Inso, JCMI Senior Pastor, led the Altar Call which resulted to a number of responses either as first acceptance of Jesus Christ or a revival commitment. The event ended before 9:00 pm. An estimated audience of at least 300 participated. Arnold Tanchico and Jay Capistrano led the program.
      The JCMI Family is thankful for all attendees, sponsors, donors, performers and committee members. Indeed, the Lord is truly pleased with the contribution of everyone for the building of His Kingdom in the Triad through this event.
