Hello Ministry Partner!
The 1st quarter of the year just ended, and God has been so good and faithful for the past three months. :) I just want to share with you with what God has been doing for the past two months in the lives of the students that we're reaching out to. And we're excited to share these things to you because of your partnership we are able to continually reach out to these students who need Jesus in their life. It was really a great joy and privilege to talk to, build relationship with, share about God's Word, and being there by showing love to these students who are longing for acceptance and love that is only found in Jesus.
We were given an opportunity and privilege to facilitate a retreat for the Grade six students of Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai here in Davao City. It was a great time teaching them about living a life knowing their purpose, living a life with love for others, living a life continuously learning and growing, and above all living a life knowing that they have a Father in heaven who pursues and purchased them through Jesus dying on the cross, knowing that they can rest upon His love in all areas of their lives. It doesn't matter how young they are to know these things, but the most important thing is they will start living their life knowing their purpose and live that out as they continue to learn and grow in every challenges that they will be facing in life. As young as they are, they will set an example for others in their speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. - 1 Timothy 4:12
Indeed, as we continue to share the Gospel to them, minister to them, show love and care to them these students will continue to love God more in their loves and will extend the same love and grace to others as well. Never will we complain again with what's been happening in the lives of the younger generation today because day by day they will no longer conform or follow the pattern of this world, but they will be renewed and be transformed by the love and grace of God in their lives. So let's continue to set an example to this present generation of young people, as they will be setting an example to others and to the next generations that are about to come.
Thank your for faithfully partnering with us in reaching the next generation for God! Indeed, OUR GOD IS FAITHFUL! Thank you for praying with us as we continue to preach the Gospel boldly with zeal and passion. Looking forward for more years of partnership with you in Honoring God and Making Disciples! It's a privilege to have you on board! God Bless you abundantly and exceedingly!
