Bread of Life Ministries International (BOLMI; previous name Bread of Life Christian Fellowship; simply known as BOL or Bread) is a Filipino Evangelical megachurch founded by Rev. Caesar "Butch" L. Conde. Its stated mission and vision is to "stabilize and expand what it has learned from God in prayer and the Word of God and to pass it on to other people, and also the beginning of revival in the country", which is inspired by Acts 1:8. BOL celebrated its 35th anniversary with "The Ancient-Future Way", a celebration held at Crossroad Center, Quezon City, Philippines on November 19, 2017. The event was attended by local and international members. History In the early 1980s, Pastor Butch Conde originally wanted to start a halfway house for prostituted women in Olongapo City, where the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay was located. In August 1982, 12 people including Pastor Conde started a new church in Loyola Heights, Quezon City. Maryknoll College (now Miriam College) offered its auditorium to launch the Bread of Life Christian Fellowship and the first service gathering was held on November 14, 1982. Attendance steadily increased. In 1984, from a gathering of 120 members at Maryknoll College, weekly attendance climbed to a thousand, prompting BOL to temporarily move to the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City on January 8 and 15, 1984. On January 22, BOL worship gatherings moved to Celebrity Sports Plaza in Capitol Hills, Quezon City in order to accommodate 1,200 members. Pastor Conde wanted to show that God provides for Filipino churches, and that Filipinos must break free from colonial mentality and become independent from foreign missionaries. After the People Power Revolution in 1986, Pastor Conde drew inspiration from his Korea Prayer Study Tour and Prayer Mountain experiences in South Korea. BOL then acquired a piece of land in the mountains in Antipolo, Rizal to build the country's and Southeast Asia's first Prayer Mountain facilities in 1988. On April 5, 1987, BOL services moved to Circle Theatre (now Circle Events Place) located at Timog Avenue, and started to divide into four worship gatherings every Sunday. Between 1989 and 1991, it was one of the fastest-growing churches in the country with membership of up to 2,000 people in 1992. BOL then changed its name to Bread of Life Ministries. BOL also planted another central church in Makati, and had been planting church satellites nationwide. In August 1993, BOL began
