“𝐓𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮, 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬!”

Hearts were on fire as the ELYU Provincial Youth Conference 2025 concluded with a moving PraiseFest led by Kuya Ellecxe Tumabcao, YFC La Union Provincial Youth Head.

He emphasized that our mission to be vessels of hope doesn’t end here, but rather begins at this conference. It must radiate outside the community, reaching our friends and family.

May we always bear in mind the challenge that Kuya Ellecxe gave us, saying, “𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 — 𝐬𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐠-𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐚 𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚.”

Every song, every raised hand, and every smile was a testimony of how good our God is. Truly, we ended the conference anchored in His love and overflowing with gratitude.

The afternoon continued with Session 2, an upfront reminder of the gift of family and the value of honoring those God placed in our lives.

In her talk, Tita Kate Flores spoke about ill actions that most of us are guilty of — hurting the people around us, most especially our families. She stressed that it is sin that causes these, and if it succeeds, our family will be greatly affected.

This session also persuades us that the silent battles we are facing are never unseen in the eyes of our God, and that we are not alone, even at times that we are not faithful to Him.

In connection with the talk, three sisters from YFC and SFC, Ate Stefanee Quinto, Ate Rimaica Macuroy, and Ate Fatima Alviarne, shared their testimonies of faith, showing how God has saved them and transformed their lives. Although they faced different struggles, all of their stories carried one common message: “𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐠𝐞.”
