Friendster.com
Last Sunday was another MYF Outreach. The theme was something like: Friendster.com. Nowadays, a lot of Filipino young people are ‘addicted’ to this. Most kids have their Friendster account. I don’t. And I’m not planning to have one.
The outreach turned out well. We have around 800-1,000 young people attending. Redner shared the message. It was about repentance. The worship team led a good worship. The dance team was a blast. But my personal favorite is the story portrayed by the theater arts team. It was a story of childhood friends who eventually crossed paths again. This time, the girl is in the darkest state of her life—she can be convicted of murder (which was actually her boyfriend’s doing) while the guy is in the prime of his life. She ran into him (who loved her eversince) to seek help and he took blame for the crime instead. It made my heart crush as I see from afar how the young man held the hands of his friend and wipe the blood with his shirt. It was an unconditional love he had for her.
A lot of our values are eroding as a consequence of fast-track systems available. For instance, the theater arts team portrayed a story of how a young girl had had relations with a drug pusher; as a result of skipping the courtship stage and jumping straight to committing into relationship through the texting-chatting style. I have nothing against technology, but what I’m saying is, responsibility is primary to every individual in whatever decision he makes.
God so loved the world….and I’m thankful that He’s willing to forgive us no matter how great our sins could be. We just have to come to Him.

Be our partner in prayer. We are going to have a Concert Crusade in November (the MYF Worship Team) and are expecting 5,000 to 6,000 young people to attend. Let this be a blessing to the young people of our land.
