CONSTANT CHANGE …
This year has been a very challenging one as there were lots of
movements and changes that took place.
We began the year preparing for big events that would show
our presence in E. Samar and in the Visayas. We were able to
th
participate in ESSU's 50 Foundation Day celebration on Feb.
2010 by putting up a booth. On April we joined the Navigators
National Youth Congress and Youth Workers' Conference in
Cebu. By God's grace, 12 of us were able to attend this event.
By the middle of the year, we had changes in leadership, with
Floricel volunteering in lieu of Daisy. The organization was
finally recognized in the campus and we began giving our
students leadership roles and opportunities. They organized an
overnight Sem-ender activity which gave senior students the
opportunity to teach and led the younger ones.
We finally left our headquarter for almost six years in the town
proper of Maydolong and moved to a new location. B2b Student
Center is now nearer to the Maydolong campus of ESSU. We
thank God for His provision of a better location that we may
be closer to those we aim to serve. The challenge for us now is
to build a permanent structure that can withstand floods and
typhoons that usually pass by the area.
Please pray that the new B2b Student Center will be an avenue
for encouraging new generations of Estehanons who will be a
blessing to the nations!
"Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby.
Fill the air with song, you who've never experienced childbirth!
You're ending up with far more children
than all those childbearing women." God says so!
"Clear lots of ground for your tents! Make your tents large.
Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope,
drive the tent pegs deep.
You're going to need lots of elbow room for your growing family.
You're going to take over whole nations;
you're going to resettle abandoned cities.
(Isaiah 54:1-3, The Message)
