The Time

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,

They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

10 Reasons Churches Should Prioritize Youth Ministry

1. Hormones + Energy Drinks + Jesus = the rapid spread of the gospel!
2. Teenagers can take the gospel further than adults (100+ online and face-to-face friends each!)
3. Youth leaders tends to be underestimated and underfunded, perfect candidates to be used by God.
4. Teens can spread the gospel faster than adults (they have already built relational bridges with the lost!)
5. Text messaging makes teen fingers nimble for finding verses in their Bibles quickly as they evangelize.
6. Jesus did (there is strong Scriptural evidence that most of the disciples were teenagers!)
7. There are 67,342 mini-mission fields in America that we call middle schools and high schools.
8. Youth leaders are unrealistic dreamers who want to make a difference and can if we let them!
9. Teens are not the church of tomorrow but are the potential church transformers of today.
10. God has used teens to win victories (David), save nations (Esther) and can use them to spark revivals!

Spy on its Christmas 2010 Celebration



The Spirit Powered Youth of The Great Shepherd Christian Fellowship (TGSCF) celebrated its Christmas party last December 20, 2010 which marked the life of each SPY members.


The exhortation of Senior Pastor Rev. Edgar Lugon, challenges the youth to look back on what are the things they had done for Christ this year. He stated that, it is good to evaluate your accomplishments and failures as the year 2010 ends and to look forward of the upcoming year 2011, for more room of improvements and success. After everyone was satiated in hunger of their soul, foods for the human body  were then also shared and enjoyed by everyone.



The celebration was highlighted with the wonderful fantasy costumes of the participative youths. They were Cinderella and her Prince; Snow White; Jasmine of Aladin; and other impersonators of the known youth and the very own Pastor Lugon and its wife Mrs. Jennifer Lugon. Each of the contestants was given the chance to have the floor as their way to stardom. Smiles and short speeches of self introduction of each contestants were rendered to the audience.








Then after the deliberation of the judges, Ms. Sharrah Mae Apple Esin as Princess Jasmine garners the 3rd prize, while  Ms. Liezl Marie Baron as Mrs. Jennifer Lugon with Mr. Edgar Anthony Lugon as his father Rev. Edgar Lugon gets the 2nd prize and Cinderella with her Prince, portryed by Ms. Irish Mae Esin and her cell group member Julmar Eugenio, wins the 1st prize.


A lot of games and surprises were also organized to entertain the teens. And most of all exchanging of gifts makes the celebration more memorable. All were happy and went home with a smile due to the gift they received and the bonding of Cell groups towards their cell leader and fellow youths were treasured.
