One thing I ask from the Lord, this only
do I seek: that I may dwell in the house
of the Lord all the days of my life, to
gaze on the beauty of the Lord and
to seek him in his temple.
Psalms 27:4
This is the idea where One Thing Philippines anchored their vision as an evangelic movement pursuing Christ. For me, this conference has made a vast impact in my life by becoming more mature and secure of my identity in Christ and to other people. That's why every year, I am always in anticipation and in high regard everytime the event starts to kick off on the month of May.
Our team, River of Life Symphony Orchestra had our 2nd year of participation in this much eager attended event. We were tasked to lead the opening day worship at 9:00 am and the Evening Worship at 6:30 pm. That's why a lot of preparations were required from us prior and during the event. Practicing and rehearsing the songs were our almost activity during this whole month of May. However, despite such super loaded schedules and activities we all went through, still the passion in us to serve and honor the Lord never die down rather it even escalated to higher level of service seeing young people's lives changed and empowered.
This year's theme...
It focuses on confronting the issues of millenials today like pornography, social media addiction, depression, homosexuality, pre-marital sex and among others. We believe that only through God can these struggles of youth be overcome and resolved. Not by our own strength nor effort but only by God's power and grace alone. On the other note, we also firmly believe that if these things will not be solved on the early stages of their lives then surely this will cause a destructive effect on their personal lives and eventually affect on the national level as one nation. Therefore, this event is always on full blow just to direct the future generation to the promise of abundance and victory set by God unto us.
Now let me unveil to you a glimpse of our activities on this One Thing Philippines Conference:
Then after the whole set-up, the event now officially begin. This is still a glimpse of activities during the entire event. You'll see young people worship and cry out to God in affection and intimacy.
Truly this day is such a monumental day for us...
Shalom everyone and may we all continue to live a life according to our purpose and calling.
Peace.
