Sharing with IYCS youth

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!

Planting and building up youth for Christ!

It was a weekend of renewal and meeting up with the "Freeque"s, the Free to be Unique youth from Manila. They came with their friends from 6-7 August and spent a weekend renewing their faith and commitment in the Lord. We encouraged them to be planted and built up in Jesus Christ through the essentials of prayer and the Word of the Lord.

D
uring our time of ministry, each of them were affirmed in the truths of their identity as loved by God. God continued to speak to us throughout the weekend, affirming also His assurance to the young people not to be afraid in their walk of faith..

We continue to hold you all in our prayers, Freeque and Friends. God bless you as you hold firm in your faith in Christ!
