It's CHALLENGE time!!!!!

Well folks, it's that time again! It's Challenge time!!! What exactly is Challenge you say? Well I am more than happy to oblige. Inspired by EMC International's yearly Challenge meeting, EMC Philippines has put its own creative spin on it. Challenge is a monthly/bimonthly meeting between all the Philippine EMCs and of course is open to all who wish to attend. All of our youth come together for for a night of worship, games, reflection, learning, fun and of course food!(There's always food. Seriously.) 

Sam & the praise team

Each Challenge meeting has a theme and this meeting's theme is "Awareness". We want this time to be a time of spiritual awakening for all the youth. We pray that the youth be aware that God DOES have a plan for them and we want them to not only be aware that God does have a plan but to begin to discover what exactly is God's will for each and every one of them. This meeting we hope that all who attend be strengthened in their faith and be encouraged to become active in and serve in the ministry.

This month's Challenge meeting will take place on Wed Nov 30 beginning at 4pm (local time of course) at EMC Dagupan in Lasip Chico. So if you're reading this in the Philippines come on down!!! Join the fun and be blessed! If you're abroad, let's be there in spirit and pray for this Challenge meeting. Let's pray for God's blessing to be on the youth. Let's pray that all who attend be encouraged and strengthened to have a deeper relationship with Christ and to be become aware of God's plan in their lives.
