August 2013 Worship Night: "Night of the Scholars"

Ever experienced worshiping the Lord together with your friends? Family? Classmates and Loved-ones? 

Every yfC-gk (Youth for Christ - Gawad Kalinga) members marked their calendars for the August 6, 2013 Worship Night. (Actually almost every worship night, LOL)

This month's theme was "Night of the Scholars"


It was held at the chapel of  University of St. La Salle - Bacolod and was attended by, more than 200 members of the Family Ministry and guests.

Before I tell you the details of the event,let me first tell you what Worship Night is. :)

It started years ago on the month of July. This is the gathering of all Family Ministry members and guests that is celebrated on the first Tuesday night of the month.  We come together to hear the good news and to worship the Lord.

For this month's event, registration started at 6:00 pm and the program started at 7:00 pm. The event started with the emcee, building up rapport with the members. Then it was followed by a pep talk, and last is the worship led by one of the leaders of yfC-gk, our brother in Christ, Roger Ortaliz Jr.

For the pep talk, it was given to us by the Provincial Ate of kfC-gk, Provincial iKonnect Head, a Cum Laude Graduate of University of St. La Salle-Bacolod and now a teacher, our sister in Christ, Jesan Kim Quillip.

She started the talk with a quote:

"Everything you know, you learned. Everything you need to know, you must learn. Everything right and true that you learn, should be held on to tightly."

She said that, she is not a good student before. She graduated in Elementary as a Section 2 student and got 5 line of 7 grades when she was in high school. But that didn't stop her, since she came back with her service in yfC-gk that taught her to give importance with her studies.

Each one of us experiences difficulties in our studies. There are deadlines, projects, reportings and the most rampant, low grades. Behind all those things, we should never stop believing and be a good learner. Let us follow God's instructions and surrender everything to the Lord.

We should value our education because it is a blessing to us, let us not forget to ask help from our God, let us submit ourselves with Him because in Him, nothing is impossible. Bear in mind that prayer should be always accompanied with work. For work without prayer is nothing, and prayer without work is useless.

As what one of the identities of yfC-gk says: Ako'y huwaran sa aking paaralan, hindi ako nagbubulakbol, hindi ako nangongopya, hindi ako peste. Ako ay yfC-gk, ako ay Pilipino! (I am a role model of my school, I don't escape classes, I don't cheat, I'm not useless. I am a yfC-gk, I am a Filipino!)

Continue to be a good learner! Continue to be a God's Scholar!

Let me share also to you 2 inspirational videos. Enjoy! :))

God Bless us all! :)
