I’ve been in contact with a Sports Science freshman and today we talked about the Gospel. He’s a tall guy who carries himself well and is very friendly. The Gospel found a place in this guy; after praying to receive Christ, he told me that now he could have much more confidence in all of his actions. He was also enthusiastic to meet again for Bible study on Tuesday.
May this man live out his destiny and become the bold conqueror he is in Christ. 
I took RJ on an appointment with 4 Mechanical Engineering freshmen. These 4 had participated in a very simple freshman contest I’ve been running. Curious, they came back for more. But this time not for a contest, but the greatest Prize of all. I shared to them about how sin earned us hell and that we could do nothing to merit heaven. They, very sincerely, asked what should be done. Relief came when I told them about Jesus. They said that they never understood the cross like that before. RJ (a Thursday house church student) said that he remembered the time Jouise shared the Gospel with him when he was a freshman. He reminisced the same feeling of deep relief. When he shared that, I told him: “You’re ready to start your own personal ministry.”
We’re looking to have Bible study with the 4 freshmen in the next few days. RJ seems excited to help lead this group, btw. We love working with you partners!
Jouise was a highlight for me today. I’ve been developing a new way to share the Gospel with freshmen, and Jouise has already been on three dry runs with me. He used to be a leader in the Thursday house church but temporarily stepped down because of personal issues. His consistent eagerness to go out and also give me feedback is encouraging! I see the Gospel at work melting away his guilt and fueling the fire of his love. At this rate, he should be a leader again by the end of this semester.
Please pray for what we are working on. May Jouise and I find freshmen who will be ambitious in Jesus. We’ll let you in on the developments. Thank you partners!
The Stillwaters staff team was in Tagaytay today. We paid a visit to our friends from UP Campus Crusade for Christ. (They were having their staff team retreat there.) It was a special time. I sensed a genuine desire to invest in one another. Now more than ever, the partnership we have with them is getting clearer. God is up to something.
May many more passionate leaders be raised up as Stillwaters and UPCCC fully complement each other. Join us in prayer! Thanks. Love y’all.
So I was thinking of blogging more regularly. To do this, it might help me to write briefly, but daily, about how I’ve seen God at work. I’m looking to glorify God, build better relationships with you my partners and hey, I might just have fun. 
Comments help, btw. Haha! 
I had meaningful experience with our young professionals today. We’re doing group digging in the book of Philippians this month. It was our third session today and boy, are the yuppies getting sharp! They’re picking up the principles of Bible study very fast and I was delighted to see that together we came up with an outline faithful to the text. Not only that, but they themselves were enjoying the long process!
Thank You Jesus. May such resilience flourish in the young professionals of Stillwaters.
