Highlights of Philippine Trainings for the year 2009

1. A Recap of Philippine Trainings 2009

2. The first local training of 2009 occurred in Metro Manila. This one was conducted through our partnership with the National Youth Commission of the Phil. Council of Evangelical Churches.

3. This one was in Tuguegarao in April with 47 youth leaders.

4. In 2009 the GYMN curriculum was also taught in Bible Schools such as Bethel Bible College in Valenzuela City…

5. … and Philippine Alliance College of Theology in Quezon City, Metro Manila.

6. 2009 also marked the 10 th year of GYMN-Asia’s existence. To remember the event we gathered training graduates, supporters and partners past and present to renew ties and commitments with one another.

7. And then there were more leadership trainings! This one was held roughly two weeks after the GYMN anniversary in Labo, Camarines Norte with the youth organization of CANICEF.

8. In Cainta, Rizal. 15 of the 18 participants gave commitments to enter into full-time ministry.

9. A graduation of leaders who underwent the GYMN training at Word of Hope, Quezon City last June.

10. In August we were able to conduct three trainings in Palawan. This is the first one held in Caramay through the effort of the Eskuwelahan ng Katutubo sa Palawan.

11. Another training was held in Roxas City through the coordination of the ministerial fellowship in the area.

12. The 3 rd Palawan training was in Puerto Princesa City. The Acts Family Church were our hosts to make this long prayed-for training a reality.

13. This is the last training for the year we were directly involved with. It was held in Malaybalay City. And it was our daughter’s first time to attend a leadership training.

14. Looking back at all these I can only say whew! What a thrill ride and joy it has been and here’s the thing… This was made possible because of your partnership with us in prayer and in support of the ministry. So, as we look forward to more great things in 2010 we’d like to pause and say…
