Connecting with Students

Oct 22-24 SOLD OUT College Retreat. The theme was Romans 12:1- Sold Out (to Jesus). It has been both refreshing and daunting to try to reconnect to the student world over the past few months at he University of the Philippines. Spending 3 days with 200 students on a retreat was enjoyable but tiring. It is exciting to witness God at work among them. Above right: our d-group at camp- Kenneth, Leonard, Janiel, Philip, me. Leonard, a 4th-year pre-med student, is learning to disciple his peers. Above left: Kenneth was among many baptized this weekend.

6th LPE National Congress on Evangelism

The League of Philippine Evangelists held our 6th National Congress on Evangelism this OCt 15-16 in Camp Jabez, Cavite. Dr. Cornelio Castillo challenged us with practical and passionate messages on "The Heart-Piercing Message" and "The Heart-Piercing Messenger." We also held a couple of short practical workshops, had excellent fellowship and networking and made initial plans for a combination training conference for evangelists and pastors and a saturation evangelism campaign in conjunction with the 7th National Congress on Evangelism in Eastern Samar in May 2011. Everyone was excited about this ambitious and timely plan. The doors for effective church planting in Eastern Samar are opening wide. We need to pray for laborers.

Home Court Advantage!

Chico St Outreach Friday Oct 8. This is less than a block form our house. 52 people, mostly high school/ college age, made decsionss to trust Christ. Youth from Lifegiver church have been actively visiting and encouraging them, inviting them to small group fellowships. We rejoice in the fruit and in the partnership in the Gospel!

Rejoicing with the angels!

Images from the Chico St Outreach Friday Oct 8. Four of Katie's playmates made a sincere, clear and joyful decision to trust Christ. If only for these 4 girls, it would have been well worth the effort. But there were many more! Reyza and Diane explaing the Gospel after the program.

Spiritual Battle

"We do not battle against flesh and blood, but against the powers..." But those powers touch flesh and blood near and dear to us. They know how to hit us where it hurts. Earlier today (Thursday Oct 7), the day before the community-wide evangelistic event here on home turf, Sam had a nasty fall at school and broke his arm. Please pray for complete healing. While I had the girls at home, Diane spent the last 5 hours with Sam in the ER. Often attacks come at crucial times. NO surprise anymore. During our last big event on Sept 24, Senen's daughter Cyril was hospitalized with Dengue fever. Senen was scheduled to be the speaker at the time. Please continue to pray for protection and healing for all and for victory in the outreach. Sam is doing OK now but will still need further treatment in the next few days to make further adjustment in the position of the bone. All is seemingly set for the outreach, but the battle has hardly begun.

Student Minstry: JZone Evangelistic Pizza Party

We partner with our church (CCF) to reach out to college students at the University of the Philippines. The student/youth ministry is known as "JZone". On Friday, Oct 1, JZone held an evangelistic pizza party just before final exam week for students from 4 local universities. About 75 attended. Yuklid Aboganda shared the Gospel, and many are being recruited for the upcoming JZone retreat "SOLD OUT" this Oct 22-24. Pray that we could deepen relationships with the students and see many developed as disciples of Jesus. "Every student a Jesus-zone."
