We had an awesome sem-break this year. It was a blessed mtrip we had in Alcala, Pangasinan with Dad…
We had EBlitz & Dship training on 21 youth plus 9 of our students.
Then off we went H2H EBlitz in three barangays – Laoac, San Vicente & Bukil. There were 150 adults & young people who accepted the good news.
In our two TLW seminars, we had a total of 68 youth who attended, ages 13-20. Fourteen of them were unbelievers. And yes, by the end of the seminar they have heard of the good news & accepted Jesus into their lives.
Kids Sunday School was much fun with 64 kids all in all from ages 4-12. They all had wonderful learning of stories from the good book.
We also had an outdoor UBE(Ultimate Bonding Experience) after the 3-day work. And one of our student missionaries from UDM was baptized(Marie Joy).
Please do remember the following who had exerted much of themselves, pouring out their lives to Dad's amazing works in Alcala. And also, MLFI(Miracle Life Fellowship Int'l), Ptr. Valeriano Inocencio& Ptr. Benjamin Oclaray, along with their dear youth & other darling church members who have welcomed us so warmly & accommodated us exceedingly until the end of our mtrip. Please do lift them up too as they have been much of a blessing to us.
Our lives for Dad's glory alone!
All honor & praise to our Almighty Father in heaven! (^_^)
Dear Faithful Prayer Warriors and Partners in the Ministry;
In behalf of the Ignited team, we would like to thank you for praying for us and with us the entire two weeks of campus ministry in baguio city. The team consists of 11 campus leaders/evangelist from manila and 12 young people from baguio.
The team came back monday with different wonderful stories. They were able to reach 248 students from St. Louise University-which is strict Catholic School, University of Baguio, University of the Philippines-Baguio and Baguio city HighSchool. Praise the Lord for Igniting the hearts of the Youth in Baguio to go out and share in the schools and campuses where they are in.
Our team in Nehemiah is still in Mindanao. Sheena and Mean are working with the ECLEO's believers. I tried to find an article that would explain it but this is all i found. http://www.rickross.com/groups/pbma.html
While Roset and Kathy are working with the Cousins *if in case you dont know what this one means, e-mail me at jude_isaac@yahoo.com. They are having fellowship today with the youth of cousins. Pray that the Lord will reward their labor by seeing these young people come to christ and that His name will be magnified.
Please remember sheena and her family. While in Mindanao she received a phone call from her scared mother cause sheena's mother will be put to jail on monday unless they will be able to provide 40,000, i guess to pay just the interest of her debts. Sheena wanted to help them but she is miles away from them. Pray for the courage for sheena to continue and for her mother to trust the Lord this time.
Emily, Hanna and I are leaving sunday afternoon for Zambales, we will be helping a small church in there to do VBS. Please pray for God's strength and annointing be upon us.
Will be writing more next time. Thank you so much for holding the otherside of the rope.

My University, compared to the other campuses where we have student ministry at, has always been the hardest to penetrate. One of the reason why is that the University President, along with the other authorities are of R.C. Many times our workers were either asked to leave the school premises if they are not enrolled students or stop doing the evangelism/bible study if they are not part of any accredited organization. That is heart breaking. Despite that the Lord never fails to provide opportunities for us to share our faith and it is a joy to introduce people to our King.
However, because of the recent event that endanger one of our freshmen student again, cause our President to lift the
NO proper Uniform NO validated ID NO ENTRY policy.
The security became tighter, visitor's are not allowed for a while, bags were search-especially the guys- classrooms were locked if there were no classes, even those who are gathering under the trees were questioned. I myself were asked onetime if I am having classes with the group that I am with-since I am already wearing a different set of uniform- good thing that group belongs to my software application class, with the hope that they will find those who are part of the TAU GAMMA PHI fraternity. This is not the first time that they abused students so they can practice what they so called "brotherhood". :-(
As what I have said the Lord never fails to provide divine appointments even in the midst tense situation. Monday afternoon the Lord reminded me of 2 Timothy 4:2:- while waiting for my students to take their turns at the computer laboratory for the practical exam -Preach the
Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and
encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Because of our limitted resources we normally divide our class into batches especially during the practical exam. While my critic teacher is at the computer Laboratory giving the exam I was asked to stay inside the classroom with the succeding batches to make sure that they will behave. Nothing special happen until the Last batch were the ones left. Please know that most of those who were at the last batch are the bully and lazy students. :~
When I eventually tire my self from asking them to behave, I started visiting them, and they all get enthusiastic about the idea of talking. They asked me about random things-surely that includes my romantic life- since I have nothing much to share yet I started talking about being faithful for their futuremate eventhough they don't know them yet, and encourage them not to break girl's heart. I believe I forgot to mention that I am talking to 11 guys who talks louder and stands taller than I am. And then Rolan complained about this certain professor who were giving them bible verses to memorize every meeting . :-) The guys find it funny to do such thing in an Electronics class but the Lord used that and openned an opportunity for me to share with them that Jesus shed his blood and died on the cross to bring salvation and though it is free; it, however, is not cheap for He requires surrender and commitment for those who will receive Him :-)
Finally after months of praying for an opporunity to share with my class it happened on the most unexpected time and people. :-) Though they did not respond the way the girls would normally do, I praise the Lord for such opportunity and I believed that the Lord is not done with them yet. My prayers is that the seed that were planted in their heart will be cultivated and grow for the greater glory of our King.
After that two guys from that group approached me and told me that they are a believer and that they are grateful that I talked to the guys about our faith, the following day I found out that Rachel and Rosabeth from my SAD class are believers too and they said that there are more from that class. I am so thrilled to find out that the Lord is putting people at the right places.
The University maybe bound by walls but the hearts of TUPians are definitely not close.
