Bridging Light Youth and Young Adult Office Updates!

Hey guys,

You might have heard of the Gawad Kalinga. This is an international NGO for the benefit of the poor in Philippines. Come 21 March - 27 March, some of us will be going down on a missionary trip with purposes of interacting with the locals and construction of homes. The location will be at Laguna, southern province of Luzon (2hrs bus ride from Metro Manila) and approximate cost will be $750 (inclusive of air fare and expanses). We will be doing fund raising and appealing for donations. A group of 10 - 15 is needed to move this project and so far we already have 4 confirmed.

"We have the whole lifetime to work and earn money.

We all can afford the time to rest, play, study, enjoy etc etc.

It's just 5 days of leave for those working,

and 7 days away from the comfort of your home.

But this 7 days will allow you to transform lives as much as you being transformed through this great experience that I can assure you of."

Bridging Light Youth and Young Adult Office

Hey guys,

We had our AGM yesterday and boy, was I excited! We have a couple of new leaders stepping up to take up new leadership roles. Let's applaud Alicia from Drama Ministry stepping up to take on the role of Secretary and Moses from Music Ministry to take up the role of Asst. Custode! Terrence Giam and Lilian are also our new core team members.

Patricia who has been on core team for the past two years, is stepping down from core and we thank her for her hard work. Anjelica, one of our Music members is migrating to Perth. I believe that God will continue to guide all of these members in their new roles and may God continue to bless them.

As of now, we are also officially known as Bridging Light Youth and Young Adult Office (BL) and we compromise of 4 ministries: Psalm 100.2 FM (Music Ministry), The Potters Clay (Drama Ministry), Media Ministry (the media warriors) and Intercessory Ministry (the prayer warriors).
