A Journey to Holiness
Journey to Holiness (J2H) is a course that focuses on presenting a response to God's call to be holy. Increasingly, this call is needed at a time of growing darkness and uncertainty for the bride of Christ to be awakened to the need to prepare herself for the return of Jesus, the bridegroom.
The four two-hour sessions are built around a journey using the Tabernacle of Moses in the wilderness, to progress from the Outer Court to the Holy of Holies. The Tabernacle is God’s first blueprint for His desire to dwell in our midst.

This year, Pastor Noel conducted a Journey to Holiness (J2H) course for our Filipino sisters, and here they share how life-transforming the sessions were:
Some of us yearn to be holy. To be holy is to be separated from sin and evil and to be consecrated unto God.
Through this J2H course, I can start with myself by purifying my intentions and thoughts, and to have the right attitude towards others in simple acts like taking the initiative to help others without being asked, nor expecting a favour in return. J2H has helped me overcome my unforgiving heart to love and forgive the person who had hurt me deeply. It has changed me, my whole being, and the way I look at life. It has helped me to have a closer relationship with God and spurred me towards holiness.

J2H is a life-changing session that has helped me to redirect my path, opening my eyes to a deeper understanding about forgiveness, restoration, cleansing, and most of all, the journey to holiness. I am reminded that Jesus is the bread of life, so I should not worry about everything but pray instead.
"Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."
- Nesa Talagtag
J2H is indeed an opportunity to experience James 4:8, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
My first encounter with the power of God was when Pastor Noel told us to pray for our prayer partners without asking them what their prayer requests were. We were to ask God for His Word and as I spoke to God, I told Him that I was ready to hear His voice. As I listened, I suddenly felt the Holy Spirit praying through me. After praying for my partner, I was in tears and so was she! She had felt the Holy Spirit too, and revealed that my prayer was exactly what had happened to her that Saturday night. I was amazed by God's power. J2H was an eye-opener and it has deepened my faith. I am stronger than before and I’ve learned a lot on how to be holy as Jesus is Holy. Thanks be to God for using Pastor Noel to share with us this amazing journey to holiness.

My journey to holiness has been an incredibly transformative and blessed experience. As I sought to grow closer to God and live a life of righteousness, I found that the path of holiness led me to a deeper understanding of His love and grace. Through prayer, meditation on scriptures, and self-reflection, I discovered a newfound sense of peace and purpose in my life.
Embracing holiness also opened doors for me to minister to others in ways I never imagined. As I let go of my old habits and sinful desires, I became a vessel through which God's light could shine. Through acts of kindness, compassion, and sharing His Word, I witnessed the power of His presence.
The journey to holiness is not always easy, and I faced challenges and temptations along the way. However, with God's guidance and the support of fellow Filipino sisters, I learned to rely on His strength to overcome obstacles and grow in faith.
I can confidently say that this journey has been one of the most enriching and fulfilling aspects of my life. It has deepened my relationship with God, empowered me to serve others, and brought a sense of joy that I can only attribute to His grace. I am grateful for the blessings and opportunities that have come my way through this pursuit of holiness, and I eagerly look forward to continuing this lifelong journey with Him.

I was very excited when I learnt that Ps Noel would be conducting J2H sessions with the Filippino sisters. The best part for me was learning about the “Pattern of the Cross”. I learned how it was God’s way and it is really so unique and amazing! In the last session, I was also able to experience my true emotions when I worshipped the Lord, and I felt like I was in heaven worshipping Him in His presence!
This is a very interesting and exciting journey indeed! Truly God is using J2H to awaken and prepare us, His brides for His coming!
