Last Friday, we hosted a group of Chinese youth leaders from the International Young Christian Students (IYCS) in our centre. Enroute to Manila after two days in Tagaytay, they visited us for a session on Evangelizing Youth. Ranging from 16 to 20 years old, they hail from Handan, China and are student leaders in their respective schools.
After a brief video clip on the ICPE Mission, we shared the urgency of the sharing Jesus with other young people in China.
In our halting Chinese, aided by a student translator,we shared a sign language to the song 'Who am I' followed by a short testimony of encountering Jesus, the One who gives meaning to life.
Towards the end of the session, we prayed with them that they will be empowered by the Holy Spirit, the principle agent of evangelization. We prayed for them to have courage to share and to be grounded in God's love in their lives.
As a sign of our unity as children of the Father, we ended our time with the Lord's Prayer, sung in Chinese.
It was a beautiful evening of sharing the Great Commission with our brothers and sisters from China!
