Youth Mobilization now has a home.

Image
After many months of looking for a place we can use for office and Youth Center purposes, the Lord has finally provided us a home. This house has a suitable parking space for the YM van and for the I-BIKE bicycle, a room we can use as an office, a spacious kitchen, a library, and another room we can use as a youth centre. Teaches Basic English  Youth Center Youth Center We decided to let go of our old office because we realized the many potentials if we rent a house instead of a room in a building. The idea is to have a hub for the many ministries we are running in reaching-out our communities. So we finally got it and we truly love this house. Office Room VBS lMeeting We just moved a week ago and we are indeed looking forward to seeing many stories of change. Just a week after, our new home now is a venue for a lot of activities. The Youth meets here five days a week while our church members gather here every Tuesday evening for a time of pr...

STORY OF CHANGE

I-Bike (A Mobile School Project) Story of Change: Lord Ghave Jocson Here is Lord Ghave, 4 years old. He is one of our students in I-Bike (A Mobile School Project) who touched our hearts when we get to know his story. He came from a poor family, his father is a “pedicab” driver earning below minimum and his mother is jobless. He has three siblings and he is the third one from the eldest. Since his age is too close to the youngest, he didn’t get enough attention from his family. He is, in a way, neglected because his father is always out working and his mother’s attention is always on the youngest. One time, when he noticed a group of kids studying in the street, he came and sat down to observed. Because he loves to get attention, he usually disturbed students of I-Bike to play with him. That is when we noticed him. Instead of asking him to stay out of our class for us to have a quality time to teach our students, we just let him sit down and observe. Then everytime he heard...

God cares for the education of the children

Image
This afternoon, I together with Ryan visited Under Thy Wings Christian Academy  to see the new construction of the school. As the principal of the school, Teacher Rose, showed us the new rooms they have and telling stories of God’s faithfulness for providing the need for the new construction. Before, they only have ground floor but now they built up to four floors. It is by God’s grace and by the generosity of people who believe in purpose of educating children from poor community who cannot pay a formal school. It was a blessing to visit them again. I remember when we (YM Team) with a summer team from Canada came here in this school 2008 to build a playground to children. This playground was donated by couple friend, after seeing a need to build one for the students of the school. After five (5) years, the playground still brings joy to children in the school. I saw them enjoying their time in the playground when we visited this afternoon. It brings back the joy ...

I-BIKE Closing Program

Image
On the 29th of March, our mobile school named I-BIKE, will have their closing program for the students who attended our first batch.  These are the students who regularly attended and finished the lessons ever since the I-BIKE started last August up to March this year. We are excited to know that all in all, 45 students will graduate in our closing program. Until now that the first batch of students of I-Bike will come to it's closing program, we are amazed how God provided a way for us to empower these group of kids from three communities by educating them through our mobile school project.  Having a pedicab (a bike with a sidecar), few people who believe in kids education and small funds that we have, we started to dream to bring education right in the community. This dream became a reality when God opened a door for us to to teach the kids using a mobile school.  Since then, we are teaching kids about Phonics (alphabets), Color and Numbers and telling them B...

For the first time! (DVBS Story)

Image
Children Empowerment of Youth Mobilization is planning to hold a Vacation Bible School on April 28 - May 2, this year. As we are seeking the Lord where we will hold this, a church in Cavite came to our mind. We contacted the pastor and we got his go signal. So we made a schedule for a meeting to talk about the details of the VBS with church’s leaders. Just last week, we had a meeting with them. We were surprised to know that this will be their first time to hold a VBS in their community. They are excited to see how the program will run and they are looking forward to learn on how we will do it. Pastor said, they have many kids around the area who he thinks might be interested to join the VBS. They just don’t know how will they approach them and invite them to come in to church. So he thinks this might be a great way to build connection with kids and their families using activities like this. Even the leaders who are with us in the meeting are excited to see how things will...
