MY JOURNEY TO COMPLETE THE

MISSION

, CONNECT WITH MOVEMENTS AND MAGNIFY CHRIST by BUILDING MOVEMENTS EVERYWHERE…

June 30-

July 5, 2007

.

Busan

,

South Korea

. About 20,000 Korean and international students from 127 countries around the globe in whom 77 Filipino students and staff participated to gather for this once in a lifetime, life challenging and changing…CM 2007: “Completing the Mission, Connected Movements, Christ Magnified”.

For months, I’ve been anticipating for this event and now as I look back to what had happened, I wholeheartedly want  to share with you how awfully and surprisingly God weaved everything for me to join this grand event.

BEFORE CM2007

Passport Fixing. I am a scholar under our government’s department and the first time I asked their permission for me to join CM, they rejected it. I tried again with much prayers and claiming God’s promise in Prov. 16:3. I wasn’t disappointed. They approved my letter and gave me my clearance. I got my passport just at the right time,

March 14, 2007

. A day before the online registration closed.

Support Raising. This is my very first time to raise support and raising $800 made me doubt at one point. I can consider this one of the most significant faith-stretching thing that had happened to me through out my 3 years as a Christian. I’ve been praying for it daily and always think of God as an omnipresent God, that even though I’m only at one place praying, He will be the one talking to my supporters. I was reminded of a verse in

Psalm 139:8-10.. "Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me." Indeed, God is everywhere.

Just a week before our flight to Busan, I finished my support raising. What amazed me and continue to amaze me until now is that,  God provided 21,000 for just a week. It’s more than half of the finances needed. This answered prayer made me trust God more.

Permission from Professors. This was the most smooth-sailing of all. I wasn’t really expecting it. I just asked and they approved my excuse letter right away. Phil. 4:6 just say so.

All through out, I hid and meditate Psalm 37:5 in my heart. Comfort, compassionate and hope cause this to me.

This is it!

Arrival and Community Time.

It was my first time at

Korea

. Actually, it was my first time to travel abroad. What a great privilege given to me by our Father! At our first night, the Philippine team gathered together to get acquainted with each other. Hearing everyone’s testimony of their journey to CM cause everyone to praise God even more and level up our excitement on how we will have a personal encounter with Him.

The Philippine delegates as we sing and dance  “Sundan mo ako” during our community time. Most of us don’t know each other so we have this fellowship. Seventy-seven students and staff from

Manila

an regional campuses were there to participate in CM 2007.

Conference Venue

Global Connection.

Meeting relatives from abroad is such a wonderful feeling for everyone, isn’t it? What more if it’s your brother or sister? And not only one, not only hundreds but thousands of brothers and sisters in Christ were present in CM2007. Becoming aware of what God is doing in their areas widened my horizon and expanded my vision. Personally, I was stirred when staff-missionaries of CCC and students from closed countries shared their different stories on how they reached students and how they have a chance to know Jesus through personal and online(through www.everystudent.com) evangelism. They risk and continue to risk their lives to obey and fulfill God’s Great Commission to us.

Korean’s Prayer and Korea’s Revival

Have you ever prayed boldly in all your life? Literally crying to God in prayer even around a crowd? Shouting at the top of your lungs to move our Almighty God by your prayers? Are you not ashamed at all to do these things? Even though people may think that your out of your mind?

Well, Koreans do not care at all. All throughout CM, I observed how passionately this young and old Koreans pray. How they earnestly hand-in-hand pray for a certain thing and how they recognize the power of prayer. They have moved God by their prayer and fasting and through this,

Korea

was revived! From a country fully devastated by war, to a country full of progress and development. Certainly,

Korea

is at it’s peak right now.

Plenaries.

Praise and Worship. Rev. 7:9

Praise and Worship during CM is truly magnificent. Like everyone present in CM says, it’s a foretaste of heaven. Imagine, 127 countries and almost a hundred languages joined together to worship and exalt our Lord. It was just like heaven! This just our concept of worship, but what’s worship in God’s view and what worship are we going to do in heaven? This CM conference made me more excited, thrilled and hopeful of my future in my real home.

Messages

“Plan great things for God, pray for it and expect great things from Him”. This was the message that captured my attention the most. It actually can summarize the whole message of all the plenary sessions. Having a clear vision of what God wants to do with your life, having a committed and undivided heart to do this thing and having a courageous and obedient action to make it happen. All these things to complete the mission, connect with other movements with same vision and topmost, to magnify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ worldwide! I believe Campus

Mission

2007 accomplish its goal to made every delegates of it expand their vision and aim to build movements everywhere.

Commitment Time

Nearly 20,000 students and staff realized the need for missionaries and made a commitment to reached the 6000 unreached campuses worldwide. This include, giving their time, energy and resources to fulfill the Great Commission. Also, this time gave us the opportunity to take time to think where God is leading us to go.

Celebration

Though it’s almost over, it’s good to celebrate what God had done for the past week. In addition, it’s more that worth it to celebrate because at the last night of the conference more or less than a hundred Koreans received Jesus Christ in their life as their Lord and Savior. Like them, they will begin in their new life in Christ and as for me and other CM participants. CM is just only the beginning; the real journey is when we are on our way home back to our own beloved nation.

This verse puzzled some women in a
Bible study and they wondered what this
statement meant about the character and
nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out
the process of refining silver and get
back to the group at their next Bible
Study.

That week, the woman called a
silversmith and made an appointment to
watch him at work. She didn’t mention
anything about the reason for her
interest beyond her curiosity about the
process of refining silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held
a piece of silver over the fire and let
it heat up. He explained that in
refining silver, one needed to hold the
silver in the middle of the fire where
the flames were hottest as to burn away
all the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us
in such a hot spot; then she thought
again about the verse that says: "He
sits as a refiner and purifier of
silver."

She asked the silversmith if it was
true that he had to sit there in front
of the fire the whole time the silver
was being refined.

The man answered that yes, he not only
had to sit there holding the silver,
but he had to keep his eyes on the
silver the entire time it was in the
fire. If the silver was left a moment
too long in the flames, it would be
destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment.
Then she asked the silversmith, "How do
you know when the silver is fully
refined?"

He smiled at her and answered, "Oh,
that’s easy — when I see my image in
it"

If today you are feeling the heat of
the fire, remember that God has his eye
on you and will keep watching you until
He sees His image in you.

Pass this on right now. This very
moment, someone needs to know that God
is watching over them.

And, whatever they’re going through,
they’ll be a better person in the end.

don’t talk..

don’t ask..

and never insist..

be satisfied on what you know…

because consequences can be the cause..

check this out gals..

im captivated by the song of stacie orrico entitled "everything"..

i dnt know that it was in the cd given to me when i made my commitment last feb05..

it was really refreshing..

the lyrics goes like this..

I said a prayer
That someday I would find a boy
And together we’d find joy
Maybe someday
And he would care
About the color of the sky
About the things that make me cry
Maybe someday

And if it happens this is what I’d say:

And I will give you my life
Together we’ll make it right
And I will say to you
What is for sure
That I’ll give you my world
And baby I’ll be your girl
And I will say to you
Everything I have is yours

I wonder if
If God has shown him
He is the one whose gonna marry me
Maybe someday
So, I’m gonna wait
‘Cause I’m worth waiting for
And what I’m worth is so much more
For that someday

And if it happens this is what I’d say ..

>>to hear the song..visit my account or youtube..ur tym will not b wasted..i guarantee you..

"Everyone long to give himself completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another…to be loved thoroughly and exclusively."

But God says to a Christian:

"Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me…with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, with an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone; discovering that only me is your satisfaction to be found…will you be able of the human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with me…exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings."

"I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing…One that you can never imagine. I want you to have the best. Just allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting great things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am planning for you. Keep listening and learning the things that I tel you. You just wait, that’s all. Don’t be anxious. Don’t be worried."

"Don’t look around to what others has gotten or that I’ve given them. Don’t look around at things you think you want. You just keep on looking at me, or you will misswhat I want to show You. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful that you would dream of. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready - ( I am working even at this moment to have you both ready at the same time) - Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me. And the life prepared for you, you won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is the perfect love. And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love. I want you to see in the picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection and love. What I offer you is MYSELF.

" Know that I love you utterly."

"I AM GOD. BELIVE AND BE SATISFIED."
