The goal of college campus work is to gain a generation of young people to accomplish God’s eternal purpose. This can only be reached by the proclamation of the full gospel of God’s complete salvation according to the unique vision of God’s New Testament economy.

After the house-to-house morning revival with the saints, we needed to walk for 30 minutes under the heat of the sun to meet with the student saints studying at Pateros Techonological College (PTC) in district 3 of the church in Pateros. The meeting is from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Mondays. Ten students enjoy the unsearchable riches of the all-inclusive Christ. They sing hymns and each one prophesies what the message of the hymn is. Thus, each one’s heart is further captivated to love the Lord even more.

Though difficult, as long as it is for the Lord, everything becomes pleasant. The fellowship in the team is becoming sweeter and the coordination in shepherding the students is even becoming better. This encourages each one to take the way of constitution. Don’t wait for inspiration but decide to take the way of constitution. We realized that the proper Christian living is a “come and go.” We must “come” to the Word and be soaked and saturated, then “go” to minister to the students with grace.

For students to remain in the enjoyment of God in a thorough way, a Lord’s table meeting is conducted (LTM) for the students every Monday. This first one was held on February 4, 2008. This was a great help and a good way to supply and meet the spiritual need of the student saints. During the first LTM two students were baptized. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Our joy was made full and we knew that the angels in the heavens were applauding over the Lord’s work. The campus work is truly glorious before the Lord. This is greatly needed in the matter of shepherding, especially the shepherding of students. Amen!

Not Just Happy But Satisfied

Our Christ is so enjoyable…our true satisfaction!” These are the expressions of the young brothers gained in Central Philippine University (CPU), a Christian school in Iloilo City. Some of them who joined other Christian groups before are also testifying now of the enjoyment they experienced through the rich ministry of the Lord’s word to the point that even some of their parents noticed with wonder the change in them.

A few years back, we started praying for this campus but it seemed nothing is happening. Then, in one propagation period, three “out-of-school” young brothers who were gained by the Lord joined the Nazarite training in Malabon. After their training, one of them, with a longing to go back to Malabon to join the Full-Time Training (FTT) decided to pursue his college education for him to qualify for the said training. He enrolled in CPU. Hallelujah! This is the break we have been waiting from the Lord. With the coordination of another student saint, both started to invite their classmates and friends in a gathering, which later become a small group meeting. We, of course, eagerly joined their meeting. Two times in a week, we meet them in the campus. As of today, there are seven brothers and three sisters who have been baptized. Some also attend the young people and the Lord’s table meeting already. They are now our constant visitors in the meeting hall. What joy, much more when one sees them eagerly listening and eating the word of the Lord.

Today, we are training them to preach the gospel by using the booklet the Mystery of Human Life. They are quite on fire using this booklet to preach the gospel to their classmates and friends. We expect with much hope that even their teachers will hear the high gospel through them. We are joyful whenever they testify their satisfaction in preaching the gospel.

May the Lord be gracious to us and guide us in taking care of these young ones. May He also supply all the needs for the work among the college students. May through the Lord’s operation, the little fire that is going on within them, will be a wildfire burning many young people for God’s economy and be sent to the training in Malabon. In the Lord’s time, may these young ones be a blessing to the Lord’s recovery in Region 6. Glory be to Him.
