About Our Feast
What sets the Feast Valle Verde apart?
The Feast Valle Verde is considered as the "Galilee of all Feasts".
In 2008, Bro Bo Sanchez, the founder of the Light of Jesus (LOJ) family, held LOJ's first-ever regular weekly gathering here at the Valle Verde Country Club and called it the Feast.
A few years after, Bro. Bo decided to move to PICC to better contain the huge influx of attendees every Sunday.
He then entrusted the Feast Valle Verde to Bro George Gabriel and Bro Obet Cabrillas as its new Feast Builders.
In 2006, Bro George went on to lead a different Feast, while Brother Obet continued to lead the Feast Valle Verde since then. During Bro Obet's sabbatical leave from year 2019 to 2020, Bro J Yogawin held the fort to continue on the mission.
As the first Feast of all, and withstanding more than 13 years of service, Valle Verde has since honed and launched countless Feast Builders, worship leaders and ministry heads unto various mission fields all over the world, thus dubbed as the "Galilee of all Feasts".
