The Lord of the Harvest & the Laborers He has raised! 🌻

Gear UP 2026

God moved powerfully at our Gear UP last August 15, and we are overflowing with gratitude for how you—through your faithful prayers and partnership—share in this harvest. Here are three highlights:

Faithful Provision: We challenged student leaders to trust God for provision in treating their group for a free lunch. All of our facilitators—many saving up sacrificially—were able to do so!

Clear Skies: Despite three weeks of heavy rains, God answered our prayers with a bright, sunny day. ☀️

10% Reach: A total of 126 freshmen joined us. Half of them gave their lives to Jesus! Considering there are 1,239 freshmen in UP Manila, we were able to engage a remarkable 10% of the entire freshman class. Praise God!

As a result, 42 students have already signed up to begin One 2 One and join small groups. 🔥

From 2 to 7 Small Groups

Last year, we had just two small groups in UP Manila. Today, God has multiplied that effort. We now have a total of seven small groups! Four out of our five previous student officers have stepped up to become small group leaders! 🙌🏻

16 New Officers for the Campus

We are grateful to God for the growth He has given us, but we are far from done. To reach more students, God has tripled our leadership team to 16 student officers for the Academic Year 2026–2027, representing the 6 Colleges of UP Manila.

Encouragingly, 4 of these 16 are already small group leaders, and we are standing in faith, highly expectant for God to raise up the remaining 12 by the end of one year. 

The next generation of nation-builders and world-changers are right here on this campus. We are grateful for your steadfast prayers and partnership.

Thank you for investing in the eternal destiny of the next generation of leaders for our church, our nation, and the world!
