Good Day Precious,
I am thankful co-laboring with you in reaching the next generation, Truly, you are a blessing!
It's been almost 1 year since we started and God is indeed faithful indeed in our ministry and in our personal lives. I am grateful for your faith and obedience to Him. Here's are the fruit of your investment and prayers, may you be blessed and encouraged as you read these updates.
The Victory Weekend delegates were also baptized in water.
This is Joanna Balagtas high school student from Academia de Lipa, She is one of our delegates last Victory weekend. After Victory Weekend she shared that it was a life changing event for her, she never thought that in that event she will learn alot more about God and help her to grow deeper in her walk with God. During her Water baptism her family was there to support her and witness that she is now belong to the Kingdom of God.
Victory Weekend for the youth
"Every student is called to be a disciple who makes disciples. Jesus promised that as we follow Him, He would make us fishers of men, who will teach others to others to observe everything He has commanded us, and entrust His word to faithful men who will also disciple others."
This is our hope and prayer for the 35 students who participated in the Victory Weekend, a 2-day retreat to help them in their walk with God. This is the first ever Victory Weekend exclusively for the youth which happened last November 19-20. Another thing we are grateful for are our student leaders who ministered to the participants. This is not just for campus missionaries to do, but for student leaders that we are raising up.
We also had an opportunity to have a recollection with the senior high school students of The Nazareth school. We enjoyed our time together and we had an opportunity build relationship with them.
Last December 9, we had our last youth service this year and we took that opportunity to have Christmas Party. We are thankful to God for more than 300 students who attended that night and celebrated with us. We shared that night to the students the real meaning of Christmas which is JESUS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH, if we have a personal relationship with him and knowing that He is our father and savior it is more than enough than the material things that we are about to receive this season.
Jesus called us not to be served but to serve, and we are thankful for the heart of these students to obey God and use their talents and giftings in Advancing the Kingdom of God and serving others.
Last December 23, we joined the Christmas Party of our Real Life Scholars.
We also had an outreach with the scholars of one of our City Counselor, King Umali, one of our church member. It was great opportunity to minister and share the real meaning of life to them and their parents. We are in faith that this will be a start of our continuous connection with them as we continue to co-labor with Counselor King Umali. Thank you so much for partnering with me this year in reaching the next generation and prepare them for life. I am looking forward to another year of changing the campus and changing the world with you.
God is not yet done in doing great things in our ministry and even in our personal lives. Let's continue to believe God for more amazing and great things for the year 2017. Thank you for your partnership, and for your obedience to God in co-laboring with me in reaching to the next generation.
God Bless You, and Happy New Year!!
