The Year Ender: December Update

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!

The Media Center Team

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!

Campus Missionaries of Victory Alabang, Victory Muntinlupa and Victory Sta. Rosa

We are Building Together

Dear Ministry Partner,

We thank God for the summer season. We are able to meet with the students in a more favorable schedule. What we do during summer is we empower and strengthen the students to prepare them for the upcoming school year.

But that doesn't mean that we neglect sharing lives and building relationships just for the sake of training and empowering them to do the works of the ministry.

We Build Relationships

April 1, 2016- One of the values that we impart to the students is the value of relationships. We believe that as we grow in our relationship with the Lord we are also ought to grow in our relationship with others. We do not believe in disposable relationships. That is why in discipling the next generation, it is important that we build relationships with them.

We had the opportunity to held our bonding in the newly opened Student Center. New students and student leaders joined together as they share lives with one another. It is a blessed sight to see that students get to know one another in a welcoming atmosphere that is fueled with God's love. Shared lives and shared laughs. 

Celebrate Milestones

(Right) Dexter Villacampa, an upcoming Grade 11 student 

April 4, 2016- I thank God for the opportunity to witness the moving up ceremony from junior year to senior year of Pedro E. Diaz High School. What's more exciting is when Dexter Villacampa, an incoming Grade 11 Student, participated in the ceremony upon the completion of his requirements and him moving up to the senior year. He was still a first year student (Grade 7) when we first met him in a campus outreach through LIFE Seminar, where we taught them about Leadership, Integrity, Faith and Excellence. God used the seminar as vessel for us to preach the gospel to their batch. He came to know Jesus.

I have seen how he grew in his relationship with the Lord. Because of this relationship that he has with Jesus, he is also leading a group of men from Pedro E. Diaz High School to the Lord.

Who said that building lives and discipling the next generation was easy? But at the end of the day, you know it is worth doing and worth pursuing because it is Christ who builds. As campus missionaries and ministry partners, we are privileged to be used by God in this capacity.

One Church. One Spiritual Family.

 April 7, 2016- We are blessed to have a one spiritual family. Our student leaders along with other campus missionaries had the privilege of attending the Youth Service in Victory U-Belt. The plan was to cast vision that God can do the same thing that He is doing in Victory U-Belt. And at the same time, they would be able to receive impartation as well.

These are the leaders that we are empowering that will help us establish more disciples and who will rally with us in making Jesus known in their campuses. We prepare them by bringing them to different Every Nation Campus campus ministries across Metro Manila, mainly Victory U-Belt, Victory Metro East and Victory Fort and one provincial in Victory Los Banos. 

The goal is to cast to them the vision that they are not alone in doing campus ministry. Whatever God is doing in those campus ministries, God can also do in their own setting. Another goal of the excursion is for the student leaders to get impartation and equipping to help them do the works o We are not just disicpling the next generation but we are also raising up leaders.

At the end of the day, the work of the ministry does not only fall on one campus missionary. It is a collective effort of the church, campus ministers and ministry partners who draws strength from God. That is why we are grateful to God that we have you as part of our ministry team in doing campus ministry. We, as a team, are better together!


Prayer Points

Student Center

• For the preparation from logistics to spiritual side
• For God to open the hearts of the students to Him that will eventually lead to an encounter with Him and be discipled.
• For the student leaders to have the fire and passion to reach their classmates

Victory Weekend Campus Edition

• We are the planning process of doing a Victory Weekend Retreat for the students who were reached out in the campus. It is a two-day retreat where they get to understand and experience more who Jesus is and the significance of what He did for us on the cross and the victory that He gives.
• In light of this, there are still students who are undergoing One 2 One, which is a personal discipleship booklet. Please pray that they would not just have a knowledge of who Jesus is but they would a personal encounter with Him while undergoing the process of One 2 One. 
• As we prepare, let's pray that God would prepare the hearts of the participants and the speakers who will teach them.

Thank you for holding the ropes for us even in prayers. Together, we change the campus and the world one student at a time!

God bless you!

" 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." 
Deutoronomy 6:5-7

Enlarging the Tents and Expanding the Territory

School Year 2015-2016 has now ended and the summer vacation has started, this is the best season for us to equip and empower our student leaders in preparation for the upcoming Youth Service this coming June in the Student Center.

Student Leaders who are helping us in discipling students from Muntinlupa Nation High School Tunasan Annex

STUDENT DISCIPLESHIP

Every Thursday & Friday, students of Muntinlupa National High School (MNHS) Tunasan Annex attend Victory Groups and are being followed up in one on one discipleship every week.

Life happens during Victory Groups. We share lives with one another, pray with one another, and walk with God together. 

Mark Anthony Moreno (Right), is a student from MNHS Tunasan Annex, whom I meet every week in the campus. I am very excited that God will show Himself to Mark Anthony in a very personal encounter. Please pray for consistency and understanding as the Holy Spirit will guide us in every discussion that we will have. We are currently going through the One 2 One booklet, which is a personal discipleship booklet that helps us to know more about Jesus and grow more in our relationship with Him.

A New Place

A 300 sitting capacity facility that is located in Poblacion Muntinlupa where we can disciple more students and raise up more leaders

We are believing God for open hearts in the lives of the students that we are discipling. We are praying for them to encounter a loving & generous God who gave His one and only Son to die for us on the cross and redeem us from our sins. And because of Christ's victory when He rose again after three days, the students can also experience victory in their lives as they face challenges. This can happen in the School Year 2016-2017.

Soon, the Student Center will not just be a facility where students could hang-out. It will be filled with students whose cry is Jesus alone and whose passion is to honor God in their lives. Even if the work is too big to carry, this is not impossible to happen for we are better together!

Every Nation Campus Alabang will not stop to share the Gospel and proclaim Christ in the campuses. Thank you for sending us! We are in gratitude to have you as our ministry partners!

Together, let's change the campus & change the world!

Prayer Points:

• Wisdom and strength for our students in this season of equipping and empowering.
• Provision for the Youth Camp fee of our students this June 2-4, 2016.
• Health and protection for Every Nation Campus Alabang Missionaries and their families as we continue to disciple the students.
• God's provision for the Every Nation Campus Alabang Missionaries.
• For God's leading and sovereignty over the ministry especially as we prepare for the School Year 2016-2017.

EN Campus Alabang January Update: New Year. New Beginnings. New Locations.

Greetings!

As we continue to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the campuses, we are believing for more students to come to know to the saving knowledge of Jesus and have lasting change in their lives because of that encounter.

Our current Youth Service is held every Saturday, 3PM at Festival Supermall in Alabang. But in order for us to reach more students in the campuses, we are adding two new Youth Services in two new locations- one in Acacia Hotel and one in our new Student Center.

ACACIA HOTEL YOUTH SERVICE

      With the growing number of students who have Saturday classes, it will be strategic move to have a 1 PM Sunday Youth Service at Acacia Hotel to cater to those students who aren't able to attend the Saturday 3PM at the Festival Mall. Campuses like San Beda College Alabang, De Las Salle Zobel, Southville and many more that we are reaching out to will be closer to the new venue.

STUDENT CENTER: EN CAMPUS ALABANG FRIDAY YOUTH SERVICE

      Located at the heart of Muntinlupa, a new student center will rise that will cater to a lot of campuses that surrounds the new venue. This new venue will be holding two Youth Services: Every Friday for EN Campus Alabang and every Saturday for EN Campus Muntinlupa. The new student center will also serve as a study and leisure place for students.


All of these will be fully operationally this 2016. And as we prepare for the growth, Every Nation Campus would like to thank you ministry partners for partnering with us in advancing God's Kingdom, This is something that we are excited for this year and you are a part of it as well! Indeed, we are better together!

Sincerely,

P.S. 

Please stand with us in prayers as we prepare for these new services. We pray for wisdom and knowledge to come up with the best strategies as we start the services. Also, let us also pray for the students that they will have an encounter with the One True God and will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

2 “Enlarge your house; build an addition.

    Spread out your home, and spare no expense!

 

3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams.

    Your descendants will occupy other nations

    and resettle the ruined cities.
