Hi Ate Joy and Kuya Aaron!
God is doing a lot of greater things in our ministry for this first quarter of the year, Thank you for never stop supporting and praying for our ministry, you are a vital part of this. Claiming that this year would be greater and blessed also in our personal lives as we continue to co-labor with God in His ministry. May you be encouraged as you read this newsletter. Thank you!
Last January 12, on the fourth day of our prayer and fasting our prayer focus is all about the campus ministry. Four of our student leaders (Natalie Macaraig, Asleigh Pena, Erwin Hinteloro and Jayr Marasigan) prayed for the growth of the ministry, purity and holiness, spiritual maturity of our students and prayed for the campuses here in Lipa.
Last January 27, we held our very first Youth Service for the year 2017! Students from different campuses came together, worshipped the Lord, listened to the preaching of the Word and shared lives in Victory Groups! Seeing these students on fire for Jesus gives us a glimpse of a bright future our nation has in the hands of the next generation.
Last February 3, we had an opportunity to have an outreach at Stonyhurst Southville International School - Lipa during their Spiritual convocation. We enjoyed our time together with these highschool students.it's an opportunity to build a strong relationship with the teachers and students of this campus. And since it's a love month we shared to them a word about love, the unconditional love of God, that in this world they can experience or have a different knowledge about love, but the greatest love would be experience and found in God alone.
As a movement one of our mission is to be socially responsible, and to achieve that we have a Nationwide Real Life Foundation and here in Lipa, it was transitioned this year to be handled by Every Nation Campus Lipa . Last February 8, Pastor Armand Mulimbayan, Ate Rica Cubero and I, we had a training with other provincial admins and coordinators on how we can improve our system and help the Real Life Scholars in the provinces. Here in Lipa we have 9 Real Life Scholars.
Last February 24, our Regional hub director of Every Nation Campus South Luzon Emman Doce had a meeting and impartation with our student leaders and interns. He shared a message about the heart beat and passion of God about reaching out to the people who doesn't have a relationship with Him. He shared to them the importance of passing on the Gospel, sharing to their family members, friends, classmates and other people. And for these students to continue to honor God and make disciples and make a great influence and impact in this generation.
This February we had a series Called "Heartbeat" the objective of this series is at the end of the series our students will gain the right perspective of love, sex, and marriage founded on God’s Word, and develop godly convictions that would result in a life that pleases God.
