BK Saturday - A Partner Church's Testimony after the Christmas Party

We just would like to share with you a wonderful testimony as we continue our drive to empower churches. This email was from Pastor Alden Manglicmot of Familiy Christian Fellowship, one of YM's partner churches located 5 hours north of Manila.

Dear Youth Mobilization,

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

First of all we thank God for the year 2010. It was full of challenges, but of blessing as well and of people who were willing not only to help but also to make sacrifices and a lot of efforts in fulfilling the call of God purposed for them especially the Youth Mobilization team of International Teams Philippines. Thank you for the fellowship and for ministering to us last December at our Christmas Party.  Thank you also for the opportunity you gave us to minister to you as well. It is such a great privilege. Thank you for the team who came from different countries. You are really a wonderful blessing to our church and to our community. The church right now is filled with hope - children who are “a new generation of mighty warriors for building God's kingdom” and a new breed of missionaries too. Hallelujah!

(The Team that held Christmas Parties in Bataan last December 2010)

This year 2011, for us is even a greater year with greater things which are still to come and to be done. Amen! I believe the Lord of the harvest is going to give us a great spiritual harvest especially of souls, as He reminds us in His word, “The fields are ready for harvest.” This is why we also need to give more commitment, more prayers, more time, more studies and more giving. “The fruits of tomorrow are the seeds of today.”

“Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through Christ Jesus!”

Thank you YM, may God continue to display His glory upon you and through you.

May God greatly bless us all!!

Family Christian Fellowship is a church that always supports every YM activity by sending their youth and youth leaders. Their youth attended our Overnight Modular Training and Windows YP (YM's annual Youth Missions Conference) as a result Faye (one their youth leaders) received the passion to go to missions and she joined YM's Touch Trip both here in the Philippines and Malaysia. 


Moreover, we also witnessed how Faye became a great testimony to her fellow young people.  Because of that passion for missions, she started influencing them to organize events that will impact their community. Their youth group spearheaded a Vacation Bible School and other activities geared towards reaching-out the kids in their community.


Pastor Alden is so amazed on how God used our ministry to impact the lives of their youth group. His church is so blessed to see their youth standing up and taking lead in serving our God.

This is always our hope and prayer - that many churches like Pastor Alden's church will be empowered and be able to reach out to the poor and the needy in their respected communities.
