Jenny Rosario...pinsan mo ba si Sam? - Ella


February 20, 2007

Hello Everyone! It's been so long...I just want to thank you and say how happy I am that a lot of people in the church really love me. Thank you for praying for my mom. Earlier this morning, the doctor came to see us. We were informed that all her medical examinations are ok except for a small brain contusion found in her CT Scan. Mawawala naman daw with the help of some medications. At least a week pa kami sa hospital kasi under-observation pa rin siya. Please pray for me as well.

 

Thank you again sa inyong lahat!!! Ptr. Len and family - Tita 'Jie and Jinjie, The Baslao Family - Bingkai who came to ER first (thanks, 'Kai! Love you!), Bombeat and Auntie Aida, Kuya Balong Almera (my new prayer warrior!), Auntie Becca and Ann Laureano, Brian Meimban (who informed everyone at Crossway - thanks, Bri!), Ate Teena Gonzales-Meimban, Joyce Guzon, Kuya Rex, Kuya Orly (sorry I ran out of battery, I wasn't able to stay long on the phone), Sam Salisipan (haven't seen you for so long!), Ptr. Boy Garcia, Sarah Bahinting (who texted me all the way from Texas), Dad (Richard Roberts) from San Francisco, Mr. Bermie Dizon and family and their congregation in the US, Mr. Eleazar Flores, Kuya Jun and Ate Merla Macatiog, Tito George Escara, Ate Tei-Tei Santibaņez (who left a message in our answering machine last night), Kuya Ting, Kuya Neil Acebron and all those people who prayed for us...thank you!

 

Last night, I cried to God not just of what happened to Mama but most especially because I was overwhelmed with all the love you guys showed me. I don't know why and how but whenever I think of those texts and calls...makahilak jud ko! I never expected such over-flowing of people in the same walk of faith.

 

I also want to thank my cousin, Sweet. She filled the task that she knew I couldn't do. Thank you for always being there for me, Sweet. I love you so much!!! You're the best! We've been through life's ups and downs...let us always stay strong.

God bless us all! :-)

 

Comment: That's right my dear. Many do love you and your Mom. Thank God your Mom is OK.

Warm greetings from Cambodia! How are all the youths here doing? I hope and pray that you are all well, always hopeful and always joyful in Christ Jesus our Lord. :)

 

Hello sa aking mga kaibigan, kabarkada, katoto, kabatak, kakuntsaba, kakilala, katsismis, kablog, kapuso, kapamilya, etc., etc., etc. God bless! --Veejay

Hi Pastor Len...friendster pic ko yan ah... hehehe.... Anyways ask lang ko kung OK lang ba at my age magstart ko ug BS..I want to reach out souls for Christ....

maybelle=)

 

Comment: Hi Ka-Friendster! Why not? You can gather your friends and start a small group maybe once a week or once a month if you like. Ask Kuya Jeng how to start your group. Seek help and support from your fellow church youths. They can give you some guidance along the way. That's great Maybelle! May God bless your service to Him.

February 06, 2007

hello everyone! my family and i, had dinner with Mr. Greg Williams. He is the executive director of youth for christ and he is a member of our church. His wife is now the new director of John Witney Foundation ( the foundation that is been supporting our SEP for the past years). we talk alot of things regarding camps and he is very much interested in our comming SEP there. we even talked about the possiblity of inviting staff from the US to the Philippines and Pinoy staff to the US. Isn't that a wonderful idea?

he invited me too to serve as a nurse staff this comming summer here. but i really don't know if i can make it.

sir len, is it a good idea if we can invite him for our comming SEP?

para naman he can share some new things and can have the taste of pinoy camps.hehehe...

if we can invite him earlier, he might able to attend one of the camps.

what you think about it?

--sarah

 

Comment: Hello Sarah! That's great. Yes, why not? We can tell Mr. Guzon to invite him and maybe he can visit several camp sites here.

Comment: Hi Monette! Our national theme for this year is "Fan the Flame" so just make sure that our SEP youth theme is close to this national theme. Do not use "Youth on Fire" which we have already used before. I understand that another group has it copyrighted already. So sige, please come up with a good theme.

Comment: Hi Jenny! It's good to know that your friend is OK now. We're all doing fine here in Davao while Ate Veejay is now in Cambodia. You were just a little girl when we left La Union. It would be nice if we can visit all of you there someday soon. I have fond memories of all of you there.


January 24, 2007

hi guys! gud afternoon... i just want to share something.. uhmmmm... i'm so0o0o happy and blessd kay i've read the brief history sa church and now, i understand ngano ingon-ani na atong situation karon... you know, gamay nalang ang members and dili na bonggacious katulad dati... but, i'm happy na this church had grown (i mean, minmature siya... kanang wa ta minstick a old doctrines)and strong kaayo ang relationship kang LORD. sa una man gud, daghan kaayo ko questions ngano ingon-ani ang church... but now, nakasabot nako... grabe ang trials ang pain nga min-abot sa atong church pero strong gihapon ang faith nato kang God and wala ta NIYA gipabayaan...(",

basaha gani ninyo ang brief history aron makasbot tang tanan... hehehe

GOD BLESS SA TANAN!

 

Comment: That's good! Actually, we can study and understand our history by reading what is available in our website. I can also explain some of them since I was already in the church since I was about 18 years old in 1972. Be sure to also read "Transformed by Truth" by Joseph Tkach and other books/literature found in this link: http://www.wcg.org/lit/aboutus/default.htm. You are right, we have changed, matured and has been transformed by truth by the grace of our Lord Jesus. I'm proud to be a WCG member!

hi ulet... model grace montes po ito. hmmm.. cge send ko next time ung picture ko. GodBless!!

 

Comment: Hi Model. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's great to have you join us here. Take care.


January 21, 2007

hi everyone. I guess you guys don't know me yet. hehe.. i'm model. i used to attend SEP visayas. well, i quite understanding bisaya because my it's my mom's dialect. this is my first time!!! hehe.. hope to see guys soon. GodBless everyone. Shine for Him..

nga pla, you guys know the song , Lord of All? it's a under the comtemporary christian music category. It really has a great message. That everything of our being should show people that Jesus is the true God. Ung bridge nya na "Here I am Lord mold me, here i am lord use me, here i am lord send me for your glory" is sobrang nakakatouch. May it be our desire to be molded and used by God for the advancement of His Kingdom. Truly, we are called to be fishers of men. :P

 

Comment: Thanks and welcome to Youthoughts! You might want to give us your name. Samahan mo na ng picture if you like.

January 17, 2007

January 17, 2007

HI..MAYBELLE HERE...YES FINALLLY NAANAY SEP...dli gyud mosugot si LORD na walay SEp sa Mindanao...hehehe... Ive been saving money for that hopefully enough na yun....hehehe... ang kulang nalang is parents permission....

 

kuya Len ask lang ko... Why man ngfa halos tanan na close kau sa imo mao nouy mohawa sa inyo group? ( my friend asked) ...and wala koy maanswer 8s bcoz wala pa q kaExperience ana...hehehe..nagu lang ko ug comment 4 my desperate friend..thenks......;-)

 

Comment: Hi Maybelle! I'm not so sure exactly why but maybe it has something to do with maintaining good relationships or maybe he/she feels out of place sa inyong grupo. Make him/her feel at home with the group. Ask him/her why. One thing sure though, we cannot all please everybody.   


January 17, 2007

Hi Sir Len.. Hi everybody!!! I just thought of dropping by and have a look on this forum. Kumusta..kumusta?? Ey, webmaster, would it be okay if we'll include the link (and logo) of Youthoughts on our personal blog's blogroll? It might be good to do that... para mas accessible ang youthoughts on our sites.. :D

Rest assured all your inputs will be considered in our planning as to how we can make SEP 2007 a memorable encounter with the Lord. Please pray for the preparation, protection and provision of our staff and campers. Hear from u soon --Kuya jeng

Comment:Hi Maybelle, thanks for asking. It is always good to trust our parents. Parents normally love their children. Please feel free to counsel with your pastor so he can help you in your particular situation. Take care always.  


January 02, 2007

G'day Albert here and you don't know me but I am from Australia and I will be visiting the Philippines soon, I was just wondering if you guys have youth services in manila at all?

-Cheer's

Albert Pascual

 

Comment: Hi Albert. Thanks for dropping by. They used to have youth services in Metro Manila. I'm not so sure now. But what I'm sure is, they have lots of youths and they get together often. They call themselves, the Clayground. If you're interested to meet them, just inform me and I'll direct you to the right contact person.

Comment: Hi Cling2x! My advice is, just be nice to everyone.  


December 27, 2006

About sa SEP... well, hehe, I personally like to have the same Mindanao-wide SEP we had for the past few years, but I also understand the implications of having such a camp... Hehe, when seen from a different perspective, the switch to a localized youth retreat or a Visayas-Mindanao joint SEP does sound like a good idea...

Whatever we choose, I know we would still be celebrating Jesus, and that's all that matters. Keep up the good work! --Ian

 

Comment: Thanks Ian for sharing your views. 


December 25, 2006

hi.. pastor len.. pwde me morequest..sir pwde e epgpray u lht ng tga tgum..bout s pgindependent nmen s davao..at sana hnd kmi pbayan ng God...thx..james garcia

 

Comment: Hello James. No problem. All Tagum youths should pray about this. I'm sure God will hear your prayers. The Tagum youths can do much to help your local church go it alone beginning this year without the help of your sister church, the Davao City Church. I'll be there to help and make that happen this year. --Pastor Len   


December 24, 2006

Just wanna share our Christmas activity last 24. We went around the community to sing carols and give bundles of joy. Then Christmas service and party afterwards. You may view the pics @ my friendster: www.friendster.com/andycalope.
