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.

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!
