39 years as a staff member of Young Life Philippines.
Our staff are fully equipped to face the challenges that come with handling a ministry. As proof, here are some of their earned licenses and training experiences:
• The people in Young Life have always been welcoming to me and to the other newbies even when I first set foot in a Young Life Center. It has become my second home and family. It was in Young Life that I found friends for life. It was in Young Life that I grew in my knowledge and relationship with Jesus Christ. It was in Young Life that I experienced a "stirring" to serve God. As a staff member for more than thirty years now, this was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. When I gave up my dreams to serve Him through Young Life, I never guessed that in serving Him, I will fulfill all my dreams!
• For a long time, I was teasingly called the "girl who is always on the go". My neighbors would rarely see me in the neighborhood. But my parents (when they were still alive) were the ones inviting the kids in the community and telling the parents that they should allow their children to join Young Life. And in time, Young Life is always called out to join some church rallies and gatherings to lead games and group dynamics. Schools have been very open to our True Love Waits Program and SAVED Program, as well. And for the past years, Young Life has become a favorite in leading Team Building Retreats and classroom leadership seminars!
