A Bigger Family

A Bigger Family

“God will definitely provide”.
June 27, 2006 was a successful day for the YFC leaders: Nico, Jann, John Paul, Christine, Richard, and I. We had our first meeting with those who are interested to join the Youth for Christ Club. We held our first assembly at the Tan room.

That day was a very big challenge for me as the president of the club. Our beloved adviser Madam Anabelle Maglasang was not present during hat day to assist and support in our meeting. Days before the meeting, we thought we cannot hold our first meeting because of several problems. The venue where it will happen, the preparation of the songs and the plan how the meeting will go about was some of our problems.

We started our meeting at exactly 5:00 pm. We were shocked because we did not expect there would be many students that will join the said meeting. I thought a few students would bother to attend because of the busy schedules. The total members of the group were 75! A very big number right?! We started our meeting with an opening prayer led by the club’s vice-president Nico Martin Eñego. After that, each of the officers was then introduce to the new members. Then, we had a fellowship game where I observed that all the students enjoyed. After enjoying the game, we started the teaching of songs. At first, the tone was difficult for them. They cannot sing it properly because they were still not familiar of the song. Nevertheless, they sang it correctly. Afterwards, we ended the meeting with a closing prayer or a\what we call as closing worship. We sang the songs that we taught a while ago. I like the closing worship because I thank Him for letting us have the successful meeting.

I can say that he meeting was a big success! Not all of us especially the officers of the club expected that the meeting would be that successful. We were so happy and blessed at that time because we believe that our YFC Family was filled with students who wants to serve God.
I am looking forward on our upcoming meetings to be triumphant. I hope that the next meeting, the number of new members will increased. In addition, I am hoping that during the praise and worship time, they will really feel the presence of God in their hearts.

Even if we faced different problems, the person up above provides us the strength and the will to do and continue our commitment to Him by serving other people.
