GIVE THANKS UNTO THEE

“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:”-Psalms 92:1 (King James Version)

Do you thank God for all the blessings that you have? Do you thank God for the problems and hardships that you encounter? Do you thank God for all his loving kindness? Do you ever thank Him?

            The PNK (Pasalamat ng Katawan) or the International Thanksgiving was a quarterly three-day celebration of the Members Church of God International that held at Apalit, Pampanga. Last September 27, 28, and 29, 2013, the church held its third quarter of Thanksgiving.

            Even though the brethren encounter so many hardships in life, they are very thankful because God do not leave them alone.

 Thanks be to God for all Thy kindness. In time of ups and downs. In times of success and failures. We must “Give Thanks unto Thee”. . . Thanks be to God!

             

            

FIRST CLICK OF THE FIRST TIMERS

            An exciting, an enjoying, and a knowledge gaining activity that the second year scholars of La Verdad Christian College had experienced last 13^th and 20^th day of September on the year of 2013.

            The students were filled with excitement, enjoyment and knowledge when they had their photo walk at Intramuros. Even though they do not have cameras by their own, it was not a hindrance for them to get a shot. Thanks for the help of the Photoville International members for letting the students use their personal cameras.

            While roaming around Intramuros, they are looking for their best shots for their final exam, which is the photo exhibit that they are planning to do. They apply what they have learned in their photography class with their instructor, Dominic Meily.

            At the end of the day, you can see in their faces that although they became tired, they are still happy and learned a lot from the activity that they held.

Libre Ako ay isang iskolar sa isang paaralan kung saan ang lahat ay libre. Libreng tuition, miscellaneous fees, pagkain, uniform, libro, dorm, at kung wala kang pamasahe ay maari ka rin namang humingi. Saan pa ba tayo makakakita ng paaralang tulad nito? Libre ang lahat, at ang tanging kailanagan lamang ay ang mag-aral kang mabuti at gumawa ng magagandang grado.
 Bukod sa pagiging libre, ang mga estudyante at ang mga guro dito ay tinuturuang magtaglay ng mabuting asal at pag-uugali. Bawat isa ay may takot sa Dios.

 Isang napakalaking oportunidad ang makapag-aral ng libre ay mag-aral sa isang paaralang ang mga tao sa loob at labas nito ay may takot sa Dios. Dahil sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, mahirap na makapag-ipon ang mga magulang ng pang matrikula ng kanilang mga anak. Kaya naman salamat sa Dios at nagkasangkapan Siya ng mga taong handing tumulong sa mga kabataang nais mag-aral at makapagtapos ngunit hindi kayang suportahan pinansyal.
 Tunay  ngang napaka laking tulong ang La Verdad Christian College na itinatag nina Bro. Eli Soriano kaalinsabay ang “Mr. Public Servant” Kuya Daniel Razon  sa mga kabataang may pangarap. Ang paaralang ito ay siyang nagiging daan sa pag-abot ng ating mga pangarap. At ako ay nagpapasalamat dahil isa ako sa mga iskolar sa paaralang ito.

                                                   DearKuya (Radio La Verdad 1350)

            “Kuya” Daniel Razon hosted this program, Dear Kuya, a veteran broadcast journalist who initiates some public-service projects. The program airs from Mondays to Fridays, 9 a.m. until 12 n.n in the Philippine time at UNTV Radio La Verdad 1350.

            The episodes were all about certain issues that concern the society. And these issues will be analyzed and explained by Brother Eli Soriano, based on the Bible. The scholars from La Verdad Christian College will dramatize and will be the voices of the story that came from the letter sender who seeks a Biblical answer to his/her problem.

            Compared to the other radio programs, this program, Dear Kuya was only one of its kind, Biblical-based and very sensible program all over the radio.

Reception and Study Center for Children

            February 20, 2013 when the Mass Communication Technology 12 of La Verdad Christian College went to visit the Reception and Study Center for Children with the care of DSWD.

            It was their midterm exam according to their instructor, Mr. Jensen Sobrejuanite. They organized the event with themselves alone. Everyone was so busy with their assigned task. From the program planning up to the main event, they were all so busy. It was very heart touching when they came to the place and the little children run and hug them. You can see the little children running, roaming, laughing and playing around. They are very innocent. They are very lovable. Most of the students took care of the children and some other worked with their tasks. They were very busy doing, taking care, and organizing such things.

            It was a great and an overwhelming day for the students who created, organized, and participated the event. As the day end, everyone bid a goodbye to the little children and they left them with a smile on their lips. Everyone is hoping that someday, they would have another time to visit there. It was fun, inspiring, overwhelming, great, and a very productive day for the students of Mass Communication Technology of La Verdad Christian College. As they have learned to Brother Eli Soriano and Kuya Daniel Razon, if there is an opportunity to do good, do it.

CL Week (Featuring Poster Making Contest)

            LaVerdad Christian College held its very first CL Week last January 28 to February 1, 2013 with its theme “Beneficial Inspiring Biblical Learning Experience (B.I.B.L.E)”.

But, there are only three to be declared the best. Julius Paranal of MCT11 got the second place. Joemer delos Santos of the same section got the first place. And the champion, came from the MCT12, Jack Lord Suzon.

            All of the contestants were good. They had shown their talents and skills.

Thanks be to God for His mercy and grace for helping the activity successful!

Why Am I Here in La Verdad Christian College?

            It is God’s will that’s why I am here. I really did not expect. At first, I cannot decide what school and what course I should take. It was so difficult for me.

I took the PUPCET and I chose my wanted course, Architecture. With God’s help, I passed. But we have a major problem. The financial problem. Although I passed the exam, my parents cannot support the expenses. That is why I cannot pursue my wanted course. So we tried to inquire in La Verdad Christian College at Apalit, Pampanga. I submitted my requirements. Then we also inquire here in La Verdad Christian College Caloocan. My first choice was really PUP, then the second one was La Verdad Apalit, then La Verdad Caloocan was the last. I was not able to take the exam at La Verdad Caloocan. I do not know what happen why I received a message that I have to come back at La Verdad Caloocan for the interview. I do not really expect that. Then when the day comes for the scheduled exam for La Verdad Apalit. I did not take it anymore. Because I already passed here in La Verdad Caloocan. And one thing, the day that I have to take my exam was the day that I was baptized.

I can really say God planned it all and it was all His will that is why I am here. I am just thanking Him for his loving kindness and for not leaving me specially us. Because without Him, maybe I am not here in my place now. Thanks be to God and To God Be The Glory!

song

In this Journey

Like a wave in the sea
Like the weeds in the field
Driven by the wind
Never know where I should be

Then you came and took my hand
Like a father to his child
In every step of the way
You are here by my side

Refrain:
No words can say how great you are, O God

Chorus:
For day by day, I travel in this journey
You walk me through and give rest to my soul
Singing praises in eternity, my heart and soul desires to be
My destiny in this Journey

Didn’t know where to stand
On this hungry land
For everywhere I find
People walking blind

If they only realize
Just how much You care
They would gather here
To serve You Lord, our Dear

Refrain 2:
And feel the power, Your words have to reveal

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:
Of many billion people in the dark and troubled world
You make us see Your mysteries unfold
Now we praise You in the East
All the way to where the sunsets
Your righteousness let all the nations see

(repeat the chorus except the last line)

My Destiny. . . .

Singing praises in eternity, my heart and soul desires to be
My destiny in this Journey

Coda:
My destiny in this journey
Lord guide me
In this journey

Journey

          This song is composed by Jay Alvin Consigo, arranged by Albert Tamayo, and interpreted by Roselle Nava. This was an entry for the ASOP Grand Finals for the year 2011.

          As we analyze the song, the writer has his journey in his life. At the first stanza, he is comparing his life or himself to a wave and to the weeds that were driven by the wind and without knowing where he should be. Until at the second stanza has shown that there is someone who took his hand just like a father taking his child and guiding him in his every steps he made. In the chorus part, he states that he has his Guide in his every journey. As we see the third stanza, he is describing this world as a hungry land and everywhere he finds, people are walking blind. At the fourth, he is making us realize that there is God that cares for us and we have to serve Him. At the bridge, he states that in spite of billions of people in this dark and troubled world, He make us see the mysteries unfold. So His servants in the east up to the way where the sunsets, are praising Him because of His righteousness.

          This song was made by a writer who is describing his journey in his life without knowing at first where he stand until there came  who took his hands and guide him with his journey in this dark and troubled world and with those people who are blind. Thanks Be To God!
