Back-to-back-to-back

Three significant events that took place the past few days...

August 27, Friday - Night LIFE

We've just entered a new season in Night LIFE as we are trying to incorporate new things in our youth event. Last Friday was the second time that we ended the word by singing a worship song and it was the first time that we were led by a full-band worship team. We sang the song "You Are God" and "You'll Come." God's presence was there. You see, praise and worship is something new to the students who attend our event so we're on that stage of trying figure out what will work best for them. At the end of the day, whatever format we may come up with, our goal still is to minister. So far, worshiping God after hearing the word works for Night LIFE.


We also invited Ptr. Joseph Bonifacio to speak an encouraging word for us last Friday. He talked about being thirsty for God. It was powerful. After the word, we had our usual "Coffee Talk." It has been a trend in Night LIFE where we don't just only listen to the word but we also take time to share among our groups what we learned. This is my personal favorite because it gives us an opportunity to check our hearts, to think and apply the lessons to our personal situations in life. This is the time where the word gets more personal.


August 28-29, Saturday and Sunday - Campus Victory Weekend


Three girls from Miriam College attended Victory Weekend last Saturday and Sunday. It was refreshing for me and life changing for the three girls. Seeing people die of their old self and living a new life in Christ never gets old. Indeed, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I am excited to see what God can do in and through them. I am also blessed by their heart to reach out to their friends and classmates. I believe that God will use them to shake our campus and I am in faith that they will do greater things than what I've done when I was their age.


August 31, Tuesday - SJE's LSS: Life's Successes and Struggles Event


This is the second time that LifeBox was invited by a student organization to give a talk inside Miriam College. The first one was when David Bonifacio gave a talk on "Value" to Marketing students. This time, Joey Molina gave an inspirational talk to the Entrepreneur students. We didn't stop by just giving a talk but we also encouraged the students to continue on learning from each other by joining a Life Group or more popularly known to Miriam students as Chill. Around 170 students attended the event and a lot of them signed up for Chill. This is a major major breakthrough and I am believing that God will open more doors of opportunities.


These back-to-back-to-back events leave me with no words to express how great God is moving in my campus. He loves the youth so much, isn't He? And this is just but a tiny piece of the bigger picture. I believe as we continue to sow seeds in the hearts of the young generation, we will see a great harvest that will not only change our generation but will also make an impact even to the generation after us. Let us not stop preaching the Gospel and discipling the youth! :)

"Do not let anyone look down on you because you are YOUNG. But set an example to the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity" - 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9 NIV
