LIVING FAITH GOSPEL CHURCH IN THE PHILS. INC.

The Living Faith Church in the Philippines Incorporated started when Pastor Tirso Llorag and a group of almost 150 people from Balagawan Southern Leyte called up Pastor Jonathan L. Toyhacao from Cabanglasan, Bukidnon expressing their need to have a religious organization who can stand behind them. There was a call for intense prayer for guidance and direction. After a season of hearing from God, the vision to spread the good news to people and tribes and building God's church became very strong. Finally, last second week of April 2016, Pastor Jonathan Toyhacao, Pastor and Pastora Tirso and Victoria Llorag, Pastor Alfredo P. Toyhacao and Pastor Joel E. Ansale convened and decided to organize a religious organization which shall be called Living Faith Gospel Church in the Philippines Inc. By May 23, 2016, it was formally registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since then, God moved in a mighty way. Pastors and Christians joined the organization. Churches were formally declared official members of Living Faith Church. By June 2016, Living Faith Imelda, Southern Leyte and Living Faith Balawagan Southern Leyte with Pastor Tirso and Vicky Llorag were recognized. Last August 2016, Living Faith Poblacion, Cabanglasan Bukidnon with Pastor Jonathan Toyhacao was acknowledged. By September 2016, the following churches joined Living Faith, Capinonan with Pastor Marcelino Aquino, Mauswagon with Pastor Alfredo Toyhacao, Freedom and Selai with Pastor Ronilo Tinampay, Dalacutan with Pastor Jenmar Dum-ogan, Crossing Selai with Pastor Telesforo Sungkit, San Vicente with Pastor Christopher Navarro, and Binangcasan with Pastor Ronnie Dagsaan. There were two House Churches included, Barrio Cabanglasan with Pastora Crispiniana Bajade and Iba with Pastora Rosalie Morris. By November 2016, a new church in Basai, Samar Leyte was built. The following month- December 2016. The challenges that our organization leaders encountered made them stronger in theri pursuit to win souls for Christ, disciple Christians and become disciple themselves and developed leaders tha will eventually have the ehart to plant churches. Being a new religious organization, following leaders and tasks were organized, Bukidnon churches will be under Pastor Alfredo P. Toyhacao, Tacloban work will be supervised by Pastor Joel E. Ansale, and Pastor Tirso Llorag will oversee Leyte Churches. Pastor Jonathan L. Toyhacao will serve as National Coordinator.
