By Mary Grace P. Santos

The Rescuer (TR) and Chi Alpha (XA), both Christian student organizations from Balanga and Main campuses respectively, in unison shared the gospel to fellow Peninsulares.

            The tandem of the two accredited society aims to share the Salvation of all which can only be achieved by accepting Christ to be the center of their hearts.

            “It is indeed an answered prayer. Salamat kay Lord, sobrang na-blessed ako sa pagta-tandem ng Chi Alpha at Rescuer. Iisa lang naman ang misyon eh, to reconcile the students to Christ, na maipakilala sa kanila kung sino talaga ‘yung lumikha at totoong nagmamahal sa kanila,” explained Lyka Forbes, XA Treasurer.

            Another XA officer, Christian Vitangcol, added that it doesn’t matter who started the revival in the university but rather, this endeavor takes much importance on the fact that the two organizations are now in unity for the purpose of glorifying the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Reaching out students for revival

            “Through prayers, it’s not us but it is God who’s reaching out those students, we will just follow His instruction, His will and that is to be a catalyst for change in the lives of the students. How can they become successful if they are not yet successful in the inside? Magsisimula ang pagbabago sa loob at hindi sa labas,” said Daisy Gerona, TR Secretary, regarding their way of getting in touch with their fellow Peninsulares.

            TR members are conducting room-to-room sharing during free time and Soul Touch every Thursday, 4:30-6:00 PM at the Plaza Peninsulares.

            Meanwhile, XA officers are also having their room-to-room in Main Campus and at the same time, they are executing a cell group they called “Carecell” whereas Dennis Ruba said, “Iyun ‘yung gathering namin, dun kami nagshe-share ng word of God, salvation, at dun kami nag-aalagaan ng brothers and sisters in Christ.”

            TR and XA combined their collaborative efforts in sharing the salvation of all on the wide scale, which was then made into realization through the adviser-ship of Mrs. Lorna dela Paz and Mr. Alex Baclig, of TR and XA, respectively.

From Impure to I’m pure

            The Rescuer organized an event termed as “From Impure to I’m Pure- How to be passionately in love and sexually pure?” with speaker, Mrs. Alma de Leon-Gorospe, Guidance Counselor of Bataan Christian School, during the BC-Extravagant last February 16.

 Leslie Suzette Gomera, President of TR, affirmed that through this, they are hoping to emphasize two major points: to preserve purity until the right one comes along at the right time and to present ourselves as a perfect bride before the Lord–pure and without blemish.

            “I have learned that virginity is not only the measure of being pure, kasi minsan, kahit gaano natin kasigurado na sexually pure tayo, still, we can commit sins through the bad words coming from our mouth. And to those who already lost their virginity, just try to hold on to Him. Along the way, we can still make ourselves living in purity with God,” claimed Jennelyn Dorion, BS Accountancy- 4B.

            Furthermore, Rhen Bernal, BS Nursing Level II of Main Campus, added that she realized that God is always ready to forgive and even though we have sinned a lot, we can still be pure in His eyes through confessing our impurity and asking for His forgiveness.
