  • True Love Waits

    17 July 2013, Wednesday
    The ‘True Love Waits’ Campaign Begins 

    ‘True Love Waits Campaign’ is committed to impacting the youth by teaching them to remain pure in heart which will lead them to make the right choices-especially in the issue of sexual abstinence until marriage.

    Teen pregnancy in the Philippines has risen up to 65% in the last decade.  It is a problem that can no longer  be ignored.  The rise of easy access to information via the different forms of media is being blamed as  the number one culprit.  The world is being desensitized by television and website ads with blatant sexual overtones giving everybody the idea that it’s okay to ‘do’ it because everybody else is doing it.  But if we look at the Truth, sexual relations is a holy and sacred gift by God given to a husband and wife.  The world’s culture today mars the original plan and design of our Creator about sex. Moral purity has gone to the dogs.  True Love waits is designed to encourage moral purity by adhering to biblical principles.  Through a variety of resources, students will be challenged to make the decision to wait until marriage.

    The campaign started at the DMMMSU Mid-La Union Campus in San Fernando City.  The College of Technology students were the first audience.  The SFCC team presented song numbers emphasizing on waiting on the Lord and preserving one’s purity.  Mark Henry Munar discussed the ‘Path to Purity’ and why it’s okay to not conform to the ways of the world and decide to wait on God’s timing.  Pastor Tim gave his testimony about his decision to remain a virgin until marriage and how his marriage is now blessed because of that decision.

    Moral values have taken a backseat but it is time that we make a change. Purity is a gift and a lifestyle.  Equip the youth and help them align their future to God’s perfect plan for them (Jer. 29:11).  Give them the real answers.  Give them the Truth.   Let them know that true love waits.

  • The Young & the Restless

    “Point your kids in the right direction—
        when they’re old they won’t be lost.” – (Proverbs 22:6)

    Thursday, July 11, 2013

    The men of San Fernando Christian Community led by Pastor Tim Warden joined the 18th Police Community Relations Month.  The group headed to the juvenile rehabilitation center in Bauang, La Union.  There, they performed evangelistic skits & mimes, and facilitated ice breaker activities.  They also led worship and shared their respective life-changing testimonies.  All these activities led the inmates to receive Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. 
    Mark Henry Munar, 27, was a rebellious youth whose life was changed when he received Christ.  He was among those who volunteered to minister to the young detainees.  He shares that he thought he’s had the worst kind of life.  He realizes now that he is not alone and that he is glad that he met Jesus.  This became the major turning point of his life. 
    Christopher Cornelio, 15, after participating in the outreach activity realizes that he is blessed to have known Jesus at such a young age. His old life was no different than those shared by the young inmates. 
    Rodel Munar, 47, a father of three, also performed and helped facilitate in the program.  He is grateful that his kids have a personal relationship with Christ.  His heart breaks for the youth who are serving their time in jail but is confident that what they shared on that day will plant a seed in their young hearts.  R-jay dela Cruz, also a volunteer, adds that he is convinced that these inmates still have a second chance at life.  And he is positive that Christ is the catalyst.

  • 90-Day Challenge Officially Launched

    The 90-Day Challenge was officially launched last June 16.  Majority of the attendees and
    regular members registered.  All were eager
    to accept the challenges assigned to their levels.  The goal is to finish the tasks in their
    respective booklets within 90 days.  The
    end result is for each challenger to reach the next level.
    There are 4 levels. The first level is the Sheep Level or
    the Entry Level.  You are a sheep if you
    are an attendee.  This means you are being
    led, fed, and cared for by a shepherd. 
    The second level is the Deer Level.  
    Deer are the attendees who are cell group members.   They are active, eager to run with the
    vision, full of passion, and hungry for God’s presence.  The Lion Level is for those who are leading a
    cell group.  These are committed team or
    ministry leaders.  Like lions, they lead
    their packs and are caring and protective of their cubs.  Lions are hunters, and they hunt for
    souls.  Lastly, the Eagle Level members are
    the G12 leaders.   They are the
    visionaries.  Like mother eagles, they
    teach their babies how to fly on their own.

    Regardless of what level one is on, each challenger will undertake
    challenges in 12 areas.  These specific
    areas include Bible reading, ministry, leadership, health, and even finances.
    These all-encompassing challenges will surely transport each challenger to
    newer heights.  The Bible says God has
    wonderful plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
    give you hope and a good future (Jeremiah 29:11).  What He says is true, and we have to
    proactively stand on His promises.  Join
    us as we forget what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead.  If you want to be updated regarding the

  • Multi Media Workshop with Veteran Journalist Erwin Oliva

    14 of SFCC’s Media Team and other leaders were furiously taking notes. One of the country’s top journalist, Erwin Oliva, presented a workshop via webinar last Sunday. The goal were outlines below. Needless to say, all were inspired and gained a fresh new vision for upgrading the way the church intends to write and produce news stories, blogs, videos, testimonies and more.
    ————————————————————

    What do you expect to learn from this?
    Practical “nuts-&-bolts” on how to “sniff out a scoop”. More particularly, how to write and produce “human interest” stories that highlight the people, ministries, special events and activities of the church that could be published on a blog, fb page, or newsletter. (Format: written articles and video segments)

    Who is the target audience of this training?
    Members from the Multi-Media Team of the church, and a few other small group leaders. (Total: 10 people, more or less.)

    What are the main messages you want to convey?
    So many “God-things” happen in the life of the church each week; but only a blessed few ever get to know about it. We want the wider church family, and an even wider network of friends, to also be encouraged by the work of God in this ministry.

    Don’t be stuck on just reporting boring “facts and figures” or simply “informing” about past or upcoming events. Our objective is to impact lives and move them to take positive action, as they are affected by human interest stories that arouse emotion, humor, or spiritual revival.

    Look beyond the obvious, for the stories “behind the story”. Learn the art and skills of interviewing people so as to “fish-out of them” the quotes and comments that can be effectively used to build a great story.
