EDCON 2010 (davao & cebu)

AH YES! INTERNET CONNECTION AT LONG LAST! It has been a week since my laptop tasted the sweet flavor of free WiFi! Who would have thought that Dottie's Place (the hotel we are staying at) here in Butuan would have a more dependable internet service than the past two venues.

Now back to my review.

The past two venues were responsive in their own unique way. Sitting on the technical booth, which is always upfront, gives me the opportunity to look at the delegates. Seeing them break into tears, kneel to the front, silently pray to God and every kind of expression made me realize that I am part of a very radical and influencial movement. Christian Education is not just preparing kids academically...it's preparing them for life! Jesus' teaching is very radical...when it talks about loving your enemies, showing grace when despised, killing the old desire, obeying to our maximum capacity and many more...His teachings contradict the normal person's natural tendencies...but then following them has its benefits. And we, who are in Christian education should not turn a deaf ear to God's prompting. That's basically what these educators are doing. They are recognizing their part in the ministry of Christians Education.

All in all...God was glorified!

Can't wait to start our first day tomorrow at Good Shepherd Academy here in Butuan City!

EDCON 2010 (bacolod)

End of the first leg of our nationwide Educators' Convention...two days of extreme spiritual refreshment! Not just for the monitors, supervisors and administrators...but also for the staff of School of Tomorrow Philippines!

I can't explain the impact of Rev. Delbert Hooge's closing message to me. I've never been convicted by the Holy Spirit to give up myself for mission work...until last night!

One thing that stuck with me is this principle:
"what are you doing to follow God's calling? do you hear the beat of God's heart for the human race?"

If you are a Christian and don't know how to push through your spiritual life...i suggest you visit our church's website and download video lessons that will some how contribute to you spiritual well being.

demolishing strongholds

ever grew up believing something to be true but then finding out that it's just baloney!? kinda sucks...huh? it's kinda like when i was a kid...my mom would always tell me to stay still after eating so that my appendics won't rupture. Medically speaking, an inflamed appendics is an infection in the wall of the appendics caused by bacteria...not jumping up and down or running around after eating! too much running after eating may render you vomiting...but that's it...well, my point is that, sometimes people, circumstances and things will present something believable and acceptable that we can consider true but when absolute facts are gathered, it renders it useless!

Just this morning, our church started a series about demolishing strongholds with an emphasis on Biblical sciencetific truth. It was an eye opener...hope you could join us!

anyway...i'll be posting more about the series in the following weeks...so stay tuned!
