2009 will be a new year of learning, transformation, multiplication, and healing. Choose Life Youth Ministry (CLYM) exists to be the SALT and LIGHT of this generation. It aims to fulfill and live out the will of God for it is not founded by the ways of this world but by God who is the source and creator of all. A new year of learning. It is CLYM's desire to know God and His Word. For it is only by knowing your master that one fulfills his works and role as a servant. A heart that is not right before God is an empty heart. It may be serving millions of people but the Lord desires a heart that is sincere, a heart that follows genuinely. God does not desire sacrifice but obedience. There is nothing in this world that could add up to His glory, riches, honor, pleasure for every thing that has been made was through Him and by Him. The reason for learning is not to just to make oneself good for sacrifice but to become a vessel of God in making Him known to the world, to the lost. Lives are taken and lost each day. According to the World Health Organization's data (1993) 4.2% of 100,000 Filipinos died by suicide. These people thought they had no choice but to end life. Because life to them is such a hopeless case--maybe they suffer hunger, financial crisis, love crisis, emotional depression, or any sort of ugliness and negativities and they could not take it any longer so as they looked past a wall they started to realize that there is no other way to end it all but to take their own lives. Jesus is speaking, "I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.." Perhaps they thought that they were bound to one choice but in reality there a million choices surrounding us and can only be categorized to two-- DEATH and LIFE. CLYM seeks and strives to represent a life that is changed and has chosen JESUS. In every circumstances the youth is faced with different choices in life and most of the time they are confused but it is good to know that there is GOOD NEWS; that even in the darkest areas and situations, light exists, God exists. One always has a choice and we in CLYM, we CHOOSE LIFE, we choose JESUS. After all, it was God who first chose us, He first loved us. Our Life Verse: "I have been crucified with "CHRIST" and i no longer live,but "CHRIST lives in me." The life i live in the body i live by "FAITH" in the son of "GOD" Who "LOVED" me and "GAVE HIMSELF" for me - Galatians 2:20 Our Mission: - Share Christ - Find Christ - Create Friendships - Live out Christ - MULTIPLY! Let us celebrate what we have now.. Let us enjoy what God has given us.. Let us make friends.. Let us bridge the gaps.. Let us enable one another.. Let us teach one another.. Let us learn together.. Let us love.. Let us be real.. Let us take a stand.. Let us shine for the one and only Audience of our life.. Let us be a generation that truly seeks the will of our Father in heaven. "As for us, our life is like grass. We grow and flourish like a wild flower; then the wind blows on it, and it is gone -- no one sees it again. But for those who honor the Lord, his love lasts forever, and his goodness endures for all generations of those who are true to his covenant and who faithfully obey his commands." - Psalms103:15-18
