The Team Up North!

In Central Luzon of the Philippines lies the province of Tarlac. Landlocked, the province booms in terms of agricultural and sugar production.

They have at least 14 Universities or Colleges which proves that students, young people and the campus battlefield is just waiting for God’s people to come and minister.

The youth leaders of the youth ministry of San Rafael Brethren Church have been praying on ways to enhance their Spiritual gifts and others skills. They expressed to us how the leaders wanted to help the youth learn more. But they need help. They can’t do it alone and knowing that they will soon be the next leaders of the congregation in San Rafael, they are very willing to undergo the training by YMC for Campus Ministry.

After our first meeting with the elders and the possible Campus Ministry Team, the partnership immediately went to action and the youth are thankful to be given the chance to undergo training which they know they could also echo and would be of help to their youth ministry. This they see will help them be as future leaders and will inspire them to deepen their relationship with the Lord. The youth leaders have been praying for this. They said they really wanted to be effective Christians in their field as students and have a part in God’s commission even if they are still young.

The team is composed of Gerymar (Gem), Marlon (Alon), Angel & Grace. Four young individuals wanting to create an impact in their own battlefield. They have already finished their first module training and they are continually praying for strength.

Back to the Campus

Palawan is known to be the last frontier. This largest province of the Philippines posses large rainforests, mountain ranges, outstanding aquatic life, beautiful flowers, plants and an amazing wildlife.

But at the heart of Palawan, in Puerto Prinsesa, rises the new YMC Campus Ministry team eager to learn new things and pray for God’s guidance in witnessing in Palawan State University and to their other friends.

The team, composed of Eda, Liezel, Shera, Jeff, James and Panpan, recently had their first training module held in their home church in Brooke’s Point Gospel Hall. Facilitated by YMC, the training module tackled subjects like Knowing Yourself, Team Ministry, and Conflict Management. The lessons are the first part of the 1ST Book of the Discipleship Workbook YMC is developing.

Entitled “Facing The Mirror”, book 1 aims to let the team discover themselves in a perceptible level, accepting theirselves, knowing their status before God and to stabilize relationship with the team, the coordinators and with God.

The 2nd Module of Book 1:Facing the Mirror, will be held this June in Puerto Prinsesa as the team prepares to enter their battlefield.

God is truly amazing and continues to work so we should not stop praying. Let us hold hands in upholding the new campus ministry team in Puerto Prinsesa. These kids, zealous and energetic full of love for God needs our support and guidance as they take part in God’s great commission.

Please help us pray for a possible campus ministry team in Tarlac. Remember us in your prayers as we meet with the church leaders and the possible team this coming May 31. May God's will always prevail.

Thank you & God bless!
