Second Teaching [Preaching]

Ate Eugene, one of my co-leaders in the MYF, asked me to take her place; teaching on Dec 16th Nights of Obsession Service. I’m scheduled to have my second ‘preaching’ to the youth early next year, originally on the first Friday of January. She said there’s a conflict in schedule with her local church so she couldn’t teach that day. I accepted. Now, I have to think of a topic and prepare. Lord, give me wisdom. The first time I taught, we studied 1 Timothy 4:12. Hopefully, it’d be easier for me this time.

Suggestions are welcome. Our aim is to ignite the fire in the hearts of young people. Live for God. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Less than three weeks to prepare.

registration team training

Monday night was the second training day for the various teams in the upcoming conference. I have to attend all training of all teams to be acquainted with their specific jobs. Yes, I am the overseer. The youth counterpart. Pastor Reggie is preparing me for the big work by 'knowing everything' that will go on during the conference. He said, the bulk of the work will happen on the day itself. He suggests I take ferrous sulfate. HAHA! excessive blood loss is expected. I am approaching low-blood condition. Christ will give me strength! I claim it in Jesus' name.

We only have a few weeks before the conference and time is running fast. We pray for God's favor to flow in us. We are doing this for His glory. Please partner us in prayer. Many thanks.

May God's wonderful hand bless you all.

I Miss My Time With You!

There He was just waiting,
In our old familiar place
An empty spot beside Him,
Where once I used to wait
To be filled with strength and wisdom
For the battles of the day
I would have passed Him by again
If I didn't hear Him say

(chorus)

I miss my time with you
Those moments together
I need to be with you each day
And it hurt's Me when you say
You're too busy
Busy trying to serve Me
But how can you serve Me
When your spirit's empty
There's a longing in My heart
Wanting more than just a part of you
It's true
I miss my time with you

What do I have to offer
How can I truly care
My efforts have no meaning
When Your presence isn’t there
But you will provide the power
If I take time to pray
I'll stay right here beside Him
And You will never have to say..

I miss my time with you
Those moments together
I need to be with you each day
And it hurt's Me when you say
You're too busy
Busy trying to serve Me
But how can you serve Me
When your spirit's empty
There's a longing in My heart
Wanting more than just a part of you
It's true
I miss my time with you

MYF Youth Conference

The core meeting on Sunday will basically dwell on the upcoming conference. It is themed: Now to Live the Life. This is a four-day conference on December 27-30, with an audience of 5,000 young people coming from all four districts of the province. We’ve been working on this intensely for several months now. And for sure, we deserve a break after.

Monday will be the start of the Staff Training. All workers should undergo the eight-hour training starting Monday, the 14th. This will be four sessions from 6-8 PM at HMI. Excellence in service is required.

All we ever prayed for is for God to move in this event. Without Him, we are nothing.

Pray along for the success of the event for God’s glory.

core meeting

We will have another MYF core meeting on Sunday, November 13th. I missed the last one. Got to be there for the planning. Monday will be the start of the Staff Training. Lord, bless Your people. Amen.

sent message

The Chair sent me a message the other day:

Do not pray to be sheltered from problems but to be fearless in facing them. Don’t be afraid of pain but ask for a heart that conquers it.

Yesterday, a young leader sent me this:

Christian life is difficult—full of duty, puyat (has to stay up late), pagod (tiresome); but if you feel you can’t, just stand up straight, be confident and say, “Kaya ko pa! Buhay na walang hanggan ito, eh!” (I can! It’s eternal life we're up to!)

Mature and young leaders' encouragement is always helpful. Thanks.

Tuesday

The moment I got in my place this morning, I pulled the little book from the drawer. The page for today has a title: The Little Evangelist. It shared a story of little neighbor who asks every other child he meets, Do you love Jesus? Below the page says “If you truly love the Lord, you’ll want others to love Him too.”

God really has His proper timing. Last night, a good friend and I were talking about God’s grace –allowing us to receive Him in our lives. And we touched on the issue above, how about the others? I shared with her the things that are expected to happen in the last days—the chaos before Christ comes. It is an alarming scenario I admit and that explains the call to endure and be strong in faith. We don’t want our loved ones to fall in peril. Something has to be done for sure.

Being part of the youth ministry made me realize that if I find myself more effective to serve in a team than testifying one-on-one, I would gladly do so just to be an instrument of God’s purpose. I really want to be a vessel for His Kingdom. And this calls for more discipline on my part.

I pray that God would help me overcome my weakness and walk more faithfully in the path He laid ahead of me. Then some day, I wish to hear people say when asked “Do you love Jesus?” A cheerful and confident, “Yes!”
