Reaching the next generation from Taft to Taiwan! 🇵ðŸ‡ðŸ‡¹ðŸ‡¼
After two extensive months of preparation, Biyaheng Taft finally happened last Thursday, and over 300 students came! It was an awesome sight to see our venue filled with students far from God, and by the end of the night, over 60 gave their lives to Jesus. Thank you, Lord!
It was the direct result of our students stepping out in faith—evangelizing on their campuses, along the streets of Taft, and even along the historic Intramuros walls.
The momentum continued the very next day. Thirty-eight new students attended our Youth Service—most coming straight from Biyaheng Taft—and many of them are already plugged into discipleship. Thank you for praying with us!
One chapter ahead (By Abie)
It is an amazing sight to see our students rising up to lead their peers. Take Nikkey, a 2nd-year Speech Pathology student at UP Manila. Though she is currently on Chapter 5 of her own One2One, she is already journeying with two other students—her blocmate Meg, and a 3rd-year student, Andrea!
I honestly can’t miss a week of her One2One because they are practically catching up to her! Talk about being #OneChapterAhead. We are so inspired to see her lead!
Taiwan Missions Trip! (By Roel)
I also just returned from a short-term missions trip to Taiwan, where our team reached out to students at National Taiwan University (NTU).
While NTU is the top campus in Taiwan, gathering thousands of global students, we found a generation longing for real community. God positioned our team to bridge that gap through cafeteria connections, a Club Fair, and a Kultura Night featuring Filipino food and hospitality.
• We engaged nearly 100 students at the fair.
• Over 50 gathered for Kultura Night, representing 12 distinct nations under one roof!
Behind these numbers are real lives changed: Giang, a lonely Vietnamese Buddhist student, found family with us and asked how to read the Bible. I was also able to personally take Ben, a Taiwanese master's student, through One2One up to Chapter 3 before handing him off to be continually discipled by a local Taiwanese leader!
Deep friendships were forged, and we also got to equip local small group leaders. Every seed planted is a direct fruit of your prayers and partnership. Thank you for sending us!
