Evangelistic Youth Camp
Fifteen youth from our church planting were sent to join in a three days evangelistic youth camp on May 25-27, 2019. Companion With The Poor (CWTP), is our mission organization were me and my team where affiliated. Every year, through the generous financial help from donors, we bring 150 non- christians young people from our different church planting areas to a place with swimming pool, good food and lodging. We share Jesus and His love to them.
From our church planting area in Sitio katuriwan, San Rafael Montalban, we sent 15 unbelievers to join in the camp. First we ask permission from the their parents then ask the them to sign a commitment form that they will obey the rules and respect their fellow campers. strict rules is necessary to implement before and during the camp to ensure success. From experience, young people from this kind of community most likely had difficulty in observing rules.
Home Bible Study
Our approach in reaching the community for Christ are subtle and friendly. First, we come to their house knocking, asking if they wanted to be prayed, which in most cases they agree. Second, we ask them if we can visit them again, this time, some were hesitant however, they agreed. In third visit we usually bring something; a kilo of rice or a noodles. There the relationship begun. We share our faith and motives why we are coming to their community. Relationship grows, and home bible study begins. It Usually start with few members from the family, then they invite their neighbors.
As of this month we have two bible study groups lead by Ligaya Esquieda and Rebecca Bataanon the other group is lead by Pastor Noel Nerio and his wife Alva Nerio. Pastor Nerio is our local partner. The Lord willing, in two years time, when the partnership is completed, we will turn over the ministry to Pastor Noel's leadership and our team will start another church planting in other community.
Prayer Concerns:
1. Please pray for the campers. Pray that will receive Jesus in their hearts
2. Pray for our team health and financial provision for family and ministry needs
3. Pray for a place where our team can hold a meeting and bible study
4. Pray for the community that they will receive the gospel of Jesus with gladness.
