But we will win this war!

Leader's call
We only live once, why not go all out for God?
I'd rather go on and fail rather than not to attempt at all. --Pastor Mark

Marked History
MYF'S NOW TO LIVE THE LIFE YOUTH CONFERENCE
After several months of preparation and hard work, the MYF team was able to push through with the aimed provincial-wide youth conference. It was originality planned to be four days—two-day sessions each for Districts 1&2 and 3&4, (December 27-30) respectively. However, several reasons led us to have it only on the 29th and 30th. Nonetheless, it was such a powerful event and God did bless it with His presence.
What a joy it is to see young people eager to meet God! The entire team poured energy, time and treasures to make it happen. It was a team effort, and praise God for the commitment of each member of the ministries and working committees. Each team is composed of youth volunteers from various churches in the city and nearby towns. I think we have around 150-200 youth workers all in all. But all glory is to God. It is He who made it possible. We are so grateful for His work in the ministry.
Roughly 3,000 young people were there in the conference. I am yet to see the exact number of registrants. But mind you, we were able to occupy every single seat in the main sanctuary plus the seats in the courtyard, and the three session halls (as overflow rooms for those you do not fit in the main sanctuary). When the pictures are out, I’ll make sure to post some here.
As you know, I was appointed as the overseer (practically second in command, Pastor Reggie’s the main man, I’m the Youth counterpart) of the entire working committee. It was tough. On the first day, I had to take charge over the whole event since Pastor Reggie was out for another speaking engagement. I had to secure each committee was running smoothly. Thank God for the wisdom He graced on me that day, I was able to resolve each concern –from the smallest to the more complicated ones – each Point man (team leader) sought me for. By the time our OEC (Overall Event Coordinator) was back, I just reported what concerns arose and what actions were taken and how it was resolved. He was very pleased. Glory to God.
I practically learn a lot from that event, not only in hands-on leadership but spiritually. It was a call for revival of the church; time to live the life of a true Christian. Take off the mask of hypocrisy and start radical Christian living. The way Christ did. It is what, most of the time, we Christian youth neglect and take for granted. And the conference was a venue to ignite the fire in the hearts of the young people. As we closed the event, we sang a short song that meant it all: God is Awesome. He was and is and will forever be. Praise Him!
