This post is by Dean Rosero, one of the youth leaders who joined the GYMN Training in Bicol.
Where to go and why go? What to do? How to do it and get things done? When to do it? Some questions easy-to-answer but hard to carry out – and that’s what GYMN did – help us get things done in each and every youth ministry.
The GYMN seminar/training held here in Albay last May 20-23, 2008 was very helpful to me and my youth ministry in our church and youth organization. GYMN enabled us to set goals and be productive through our purpose statements, be more equipped and prepared as a youth leader in doing our part in the ministry – winning more souls/youth for Christ and helping them grow in Christ as well; it helped me to be more practical but objective in planning, organizing, and visualizing what this generation can do for the ministry and what we, as youth leaders can also do for them. The GYMN training helped us create helpful activities, strategies and methods for the youth and prepare them (not just the leaders) for the ministry.
The burden in winning souls for Christ is not a one-man army, but a team effort. GYMN’s emphasis on team building and team effort and increasing our effort in multiplying has been effective in motivating current and future youth leaders, for the CHURCH through effective evangelism and follow-ups. You may have all the materials, curricula, programs, activities, strategies by known effective youth leaders but Youth Ministry still won’t be effective and productive without the passion in it. And that’s the best thing GYMN did for each and every one of us… instilling that “PASSION” for the youth in our hearts.
I’m looking forward, and I’m very excited to see ya’ll again guys for the Level II seminar (hmm… kanus-a na to kuya? I know it won’t be long, I’m praying for it… 
and Ate, I’m keeping that promise… ).
For God was in Christ, restoring the world to Himself. This is the wonderful message He has given us to tell others. We are Christ’s ambassadors. God is using us to speak to others.
2 Corinthians 5:19-20
And God is using you to equip these ambassadors! Kudos GYMN! God bless this ministry…
