January 2017 Update

Dear Ministry Partner,

Starting the year has always been an exciting moment for us in campus ministry. We are in faith that this 2017 is the year for more of God changing the lives of the young student

For the next months, our campus ministry focus is in the city of Las Piñas. The city has been a good ground for us to sow the seed of the gospel. To give you a picture of that, here are some of the highlights for the month of January:


1. PRAYER DRIVE

Last January 14, we had our prayer drive. We were able to go to some of the schools in Las Piñas city and pray for each one of them. And while we were praying, God impressed to us that there is a great harvest for us to do campus ministry.

We prayed for open hearts of the students and open doors of the schools. Let us continue to believe God that He will move mightily and see changed lives in these campuses.



2. CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY- LAS PIÑAS

CEU Las Piñas started its operations this Academic Year 2016-2017. And we found out that we have two student leaders who are already attending our church. These two student leaders has a heart to reach out to their campus and disciple their fellow students for Jesus.

Last January 14, Lenie Tarasona, one of our campus missionaries, was able to meet with them. These two student leaders is very much passionate to see God move in their campus. Their heart is really to disciple their campus.

Please include them in your prayers as they walk with God and have wisdom on how to reach out the CEU Las Piñas campus.



3. UNIVERSITY OF PERPETUAL HELP SYSTEM DALTA

We thank God for the fruits of our labor (This is your labor too!) in the campus of Perpetual Help. As of now, we have two Victory Groups inside the campus that are reaching out to two groups of people: the Internationals and Senior High School students. These fruits are products of your partnership, through prayers and generosity. Thank you!



Senior High School Students Victory Group: God moved in the heart of Ruben Cuyag (Leftmost).
During the time we met, he told us how at times he felt unloved and inferior compared to his siblings. But God gave us an opportunity to remind that he is loved by God and not overlooked.

Currently, Ruben is being discipled by Paolo Awa (Middle), one of our student leaders and a classmate of Ruben. 



These are the international students who are studying in UPHSD who are part of our Victory Group every Friday. Victory Group is our avenue where we can go as Christians, share lives and talk about God. Please continue to pray with us for God's Word to move in their hearts one meeting at a time.



THANK YOU
Indeed, 2017 is an exciting year of our partnership with God to see lives changed! We are looking forward to bring you more exciting updates in the coming months! We are better together!

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER MINISTRY UPDATE



Dear Ministry Partner,

As we conquer a new land in the southern part of the Metro, we want to thank you first for doing campus ministry with us. Currently, I have a new campus assignment. University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (UPHSD) in the city of Las Piñas.




REACHING THE NATIONS IN ONE CAMPUS

The campus is the 1st and biggest university in the city. And it is home to 12,000 students. But what makes this campus a good ground to toil and sow for the gospel are the number of international students enrolling in the school- mostly Indians and Africans.

Because of this great opportunity, we are not only reaching out to the future nation-builders of this country, but we're also reaching out to the international students who will eventually be of great impact in their respective nations. 


Truly, God has called us to preach the gospel to the nations and make disciples!




DISCIPLING THE CAMPUS


It was during the first week of November when we met our student leaders for a catch-up. It was also an opportune time for us to vision cast to them what God has in store for their campus.

Our prayer as a team is for us to raise up student leaders this 2017 who will have the passion to see their fellow students, professors and school admins encounter Jesus and be discipled to follow Him.

GRATEFUL INDEED

On behalf of the Every Nation Campus Alabang and Las Piñas team, along with the student leaders of University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, we want to thank you for partnering with us through your monthly support and prayers.

If you can just imagine the implications of what we are doing now in discipling this campus. When we reach out to one student, we are reaching out a future nation builder. This is possible because we are better together!


Change the Campus! Change the World!

September Update: Every Nation Campus Las Piñas

Dear Ministry Partner,

God is expanding our borders as we preach the gospel. Not only that we're doing ministry in the City of Muntinlupa, but He's giving us opportunities in the City of Las Las Piñas. Las Piñas opens its door to the Gospel of Jesus to be preached in University of Perpetual System- Dalta (UPHSD) and Philippine Merchant Marine School (PMMS).



Philippine Merchant Marine School


Leadership development is both valued by Every Nation Campus and PMMS. Hence, the student council of PMMS invited us to hold a LIFE (Leadership, Integrity, Faith, and Excellence) Workshop that would help develop all the different school organization officers and the presidents and vice presidents of all the classes in the campus. 120 student leaders got equipped in Leadership, Integrity, Faith, and Excellence.

The workshop has been a good avenue also for us to share the Gospel. Out of 120 student leaders, 63 responded to the call of accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Those who responded are now being plugged into Victory Groups and now undergoing discipleship to know more about the freedom that they have in Jesus Christ.



University of Perpetual Help System Dalta


A LIFE Class was conducted to the graduating Pharmacology Students of the university. It focused on "Winning in Life" having biblical context to motivate the students who are seemingly uninspired according to their professor's assessment on their grades and behavior. This lead them to ask help from us for spiritual intervention.

The LIFE Class gave them a new perspective and a new hope that is found in Jesus Christ alone. Through this, the students were also connected to LIFE Groups inside the campus for a follow up and guide them in their spiritual journey.


We thank you for journeying with us as we expand beyond borders. Every milestone that we have is your milestone as well. 

Each student we reach is a family being reached. Each campus we reach is a city being reached. And each city we reach is a nation being transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These are only small pieces of a bigger puzzle that God is completing through you and me. Thank you for co-laboring with us in advancing the Kingdom of God in this nation as you continue to partner with us with your support and prayers. God bless you!


Prayer Point:

Please do pray for the continuous spiritual growth of the students that were reached out through these events. Thank you very much!

August Update: Evangelism

    The Every Nation Campus 2016 Conference really made an impact, not only in the lives of our student leaders and interns, but to the whole movement as well. Our thrust for the month of August is Evangelism.

    The Gospel is not just a message of hope. It also has the power to change lives because of Christ. A person who has been changed by the gospel and believes in the power of its message cannot just contain it but also share it to others.

    That's why we had the opportunity to equip our student leaders and interns on how to share the Gospel. But we're not just after the head knowledge. After the equipping, they went around Festival Mall with the Holy Spirit's power to share the gospel to strangers.

Here are some of the photos:

Joyce Geotina and Wena Sobremonte befriending the salesperson from Waffle Times as they share the gospel.

Donato (the one who wears black) and Louie (the guy standing next to Donato in the left photo), both Grade 7 students of Pedro E. Diaz High School, boldly sharing the gospel to the students from Perpetual.

You can see here the joy in them as they share the gospel,




SHARING THE GOSPEL TO EVERYONE

Edward and his principal, Dra. Benilda Santos

This is Edward Rabago, a senior high school student from University of Perpetual Help System Dalta in Las Piñas. His testimony of sharing the gospel to his principal gives us a great picture that once if a person encountered Jesus through the gospel, he will not stop from sharing what he experienced and witness to everyone that Jesus really is alive and true.

Edward's testimony is just one of many across Metro Manila. And we are grateful to God for these kind of stories. And you have been part of their stories too!


Thank you for sharing your life with the next generation by partnering with us in the ministry!

July Update: Every Nation Campus 2016 Conference

Dear Ministry Partner,

Last July 30, we had our Every Nation Campus 2016 conference where 5,000 Victory Group Leaders and interns converged from all over Metro Manila at the Philsports Arena.

Our heart was to see the EN Campus Metro Manila Victory Leaders and interns to boldly evangelize to the lost and make disciples on campus.



ONE METRO MANILA

It would be impossible for us to do campus ministry and saturate Metro Manila alone. As an individual, we can only do so much. But imagine 5,000 student Victory Group Leaders and interns who will be commissioned and go out to their campuses to share the gospel. God has given us Metro Manila as our inheritance for us to conquer and saturate with the gospel.

WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES

I want to personally thank you for sending me and giving me the privilege to have worked behind the scenes of the conference. It was my first time to lead a committee in this big conference. And I want to thank God for the grace and strength that He has given in order for me to serve in this capacity and see the next generation of leaders rise up as they are being equipped in the conference.

As part of the Media Center Committee, we exist to cover and document the conference, and to communicate the message through photo, audio, social media. And our desired response is for the students to remember what was imparted to them and also inspire future Victory Group Leaders and interns.

On behalf of our Media Center Team and the whole conference team, thank you. Your partnership played a vital part for this conference to be successful. Why? Because you are part of our team as well!

It is our joy to and privilege to have worked with you in this capacity! 


ONE PRAYER

For each and every student Victory Group Leaders and interns have the lifestyle of sharing the gospel.

May-June Update: Unleashed Youth Camp 2016


Dear Ministry Partner,

After almost a year of preparation for Unleashed Youth Camp 2016, we were able to see how God moved and made everything into fruition. It was a very unforgettable experience for us to see 600 students from Victory Alabang, Victory Muntinlupa and Victory Sta. Rosa encountering an awesome & mighty God!


Students who were in awe of God's love, grace and faithfulness to them

The work of the Trinity is a process that we all go through. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit because the Son has cleansed us. We are cleansed by the Son because the Father loved us.

Through this camp, they realized and appreciated what it meant to be loved by the Father, to be cleansed by the Son, and to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. And how all these work together in perfect harmony.


WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER




600+ students from Victory Alabang, Victory Muntinlupa and Victory Sta. Rosa (South Metro Hub) participated. We are excited for them to bring the fire of the Gospel to their campuses, families and communities.

Imagine 600 students who are world changers, culture setters and value bringers that will make an impact in their respective fields!

STUDENTS MINISTERING to ONE ANOTHER

It was a moment of restoration, building up and praying


UNLEASHING the WORLD CHANGERS




Stories of changed lives will soon be flooding their respective families, campuses, and communities. We can't wait to see how God will move in and through the lives of these 600 students! If you're thinking that "Change is Coming", think again. It is here!

May Jesus be seen in the lives of these young men and women!!!



THANK YOU!


The event wouldn't be possible without God's guidance and protection. We in Every Nation Campus South Metro Hub are thankful that God has given you to us to partner with Him in preaching the Gospel to the next generation. Together, we are building the next generation of world changers!
