Bicol Training – Part 3

We’ve just gotten back from Bicol here in the Philippines where we were part of a Level 1 GYMN training last week (May 20-23, 2008). Wow! would be the short summary of what we’ve experienced. For the details, I’m breaking the whole thing down into a series of posts that started two days ago. This is the third post:

I like this shot. It captures the exuberance and uncontainable joy of the participants. Is it because the whole thing is over? This was captured just after the last lesson. No more goals, nothing left but the graduation celebration.

But there’s also more to it than that. I like it because it shows heart. The youth leaders’ heart – one big thing significantly impacting our trainings. It is a great blessing to be in a training where there are hearts already passionate for God and the youth, as is the case with this training. To the participants of the Bicol GYMNet Conference, if you’re reading this, know that we too have been blessed by who you are.

My hope is that we also, have contributed to the fire in your hearts for God, and that your passion will be passed on to the youth under your care.
