Last February 19, 2008, Rev. Nelson de Jesus, IGS founding president, left for the US, his second visit since he started IGS in 2002. The last time he visited the US was in 2004. From February 19 to April 30, he ministered to the churches in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. During the whole month of May, he visited several churches in California, particularly San Diego and Los Angeles. Despite the current US recession, God has blessed him with a fruitful ministry during his 3 month stay there. He returned to the Philippines on May 28.

As a result of this 3-month visit to the US, Rev. Nelson de Jesus was able to present the various ministries of IGS. One ministry that really touched the hearts of the believers there was our spiritual retreat for pastors and workers.
This US visit also opened doors of opportunity for IGS to establish ministry partnerships with individuals and churches who are willing to invest for the work in the Philippines. To GOD be the glory!
