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

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!
God bless you!
