“Living our vision by putting our faith into action!”

Last April 5, 2016, 320 registered YFCs from all over the world gathered for the 3-day long CFC-YFC’s Social Action, a pre-International Conference Activity. The main purpose of the activity is to take steps, as one community, to make a change in our society in our own little ways.

Their first activity was a cleanup drive in a school. The participants were asked to clean the whole school. It helped the participants to be aware of the environmental issues in the schools here in the Philippines.

The participants were group into 18 groups. 9 groups were assigned to clean the University of Bohol while the other half in City Central High School. They were given garbage bags and brooms to use in doing their tasks. Their mission was to clean the whole school, from the entrance to every classroom. They had the whole morning to complete it.

In the afternoon, they showed the concept of Bayanihan, an ancient Filipino custom that is still alive in our hearts by planting trees together for a greener community.

Each group take turns in the said activity. Most of the groups used that moment as a chance to get to know each other and bond while waiting patiently for their turn. In the middle of the activity, it started to rain but that didn’t stop them. They planted happily amidst being wet and cold because of the rain. Some of them even played at it. It didn’t stop them from helping the community to have a better and greener future.

Despite their young age, it didn’t hinder them to be and bring Christ to the communities they had served and touched. They are the kind of young people who are happy in serving God and our nature. They are devoted in becoming God’s instrument to spread His words and take good care of His works.

They are God’s army, to save mother earth, that will create a generation for a greener nation.
