II. YFC CAMPUS BASED

A. RATIONALE
True to the commission of Christ, As the Father has sent me, so I send you (John 20:21), CFC Youth for
Christ (YFC) truly empowers the youth not only to be good Christian men and women, but also, to
spread the good news and renew the face of the earth.
Sadly, many factors in this world result in the diminishing support of a Christian environment at home.
This offers little help to the youth, who are already in need of much support and guidance. More and
more young people today are being pressured into entering immoral relationships, learning to cheat and
steal, joining gangs and literally dying in the very place where they are meant to learn and live, simply
because there is no real exciting alternative to choose from.
Moreover, there is an ongoing battle for the hearts and minds of young people today. The values of the
youth are now being wrongly influenced by different elements in society (e.g. the promotion and
toleration of abortion, premarital sex, rebellion to family and parents, corruption among student
leaders, to name a few).
In order to counter these threats, there has to be a massive evangelization and re-evangelization of the
youth today especially in the captured market within the campuses/schools. Every young person today
should know the joy of receiving the gift of salvation and of living a dynamic personal relationship with
Jesus Christ. However, this is not easy because of the many distractions, pressures and diversions that
are pulling young people away from the plan of God.
Hence, there poses a greater challenged and an urgent response to provide a healthy and exciting
environment in college campuses, where faith among students can flourish, and bonds of friendship,
brotherhood and sisterhood with other young men and women can be formed.
YFC Campus Based is CFC Youth for Christs official evangelization program based within College or
University level campuses. It is affiliated with the Couples for Christ Global Mission Foundation and the
network of its family ministries within the Philippines and abroad. It caters to students in their tertiary
level of education those through with their secondary or highschool level, and is pursuing further
education in these campuses.
In order to be effective in its evangelization efforts, YFC Campus Based seeks to provide (a) a point of
conversion / re-conversion where a young person can grow as man or woman of God and be
encouraged to take responsibility and gain leadership as they lead others to God as well; and (b) a
program that accepts the vibrancy, energy, dynamism and free-spirit of the youth, and strives to rechannel this youthful spirit for use in the mission of building Gods kingdom in their homes and
campuses.
B. CAMPUS BASED DREAM
We dream of a society very different from what it is today. People believe that this is impossible and yet
we continue to pray hard and reach for this dream. We dream of a day when husbands will be faithful
to their wives and children. Fathers will protect instead of abuse their children. Doctors will preserve
life, instead of abort it. Governments will serve its people, instead of exploit it. There will be less crime
because businessmen will not push their employees into the kind of poverty that breeds crime.
We believe this dream can be realized through our work in the campuses. We firmly hold on to the
hope that if we Christianize the values of the future lawyers, doctors, businessmen and professionals,
government leaders today, while they are still students in the campuses, where their values are being
formed, this vision can turn into reality.
C. CAMPUS BASED VERSE
The Mission and Vision of YFC Campus is based on the words of Scripture, to "Unite all things in Christ"
(Ephesians. 1:10). It is a response to the call of our Church leadership and our Universities and colleges
to proclaim Christ to all men, believing that change can truly happen with a united effort and consistent
transformation.
D. YFC CAMPUS BASED VISION
A Renewed and Society in Christ through the Campuses
E. VISION STATEMENT
Driven by the Holy Spirit, transformed by the love of Christ, and one with the Catholic Church,
YFC Campus Based is a youth ministry of Couples for Christ that renews the society by raising
servant leaders grounded on Christian values, witnessing God through the campuses.
F. YFC CAMPUS BASED MISSION
Empowering Gods Witnesses in the Campuses that will transform the Society
G. MISSION STATEMENT
We are YFC Campus Based. We are committed to live in Gods righteousness and holiness, evangelizing
university students through a life of love and service; we shall work for the renewal of the youth that
will embrace God and His commission, build generations of Christian leaders, in the pursuit of making
our studies relevant to our commitment to the society and to God.
H. YFC CAMPUS BASED CULTURE
YFC Campus Based aims to teach its members how to live a secure and Christian life. This is done
through reinforcing the YFC seven (7) identities that are being reflected through different teachings
within the ministry. The YFC seven (7) identities are:
a) Being a Missionary
This is our distinct desire to deepen the living out of our Christian faith for the love and
service for others. It is an expression of our great appreciation to the work of evangelization,
formation and mission of our community, taking it as our duty, our call and our privilege. We
want our youth members to be missionaries by heart, allowing them to be true evangelizers,
introduce His love as their top priority in life.
b) Source of Unity to the Family
This is our deep aspiration to uphold unity and Gods plan for the family and for His
domestic church. We want all our YFCs to be a source of love and healing in whatever
brokenness their families might be experiencing. We want them to be a source of peace and an
5
advocate of love and in promoting better relationships. We believe that all our YFCs should be
active in their homes doing their responsibilities and acting out their roles as members in their
own respective families.
c) Model of Excellence
This is our yearning for personal holiness in our work with Christ. Our focus is to develop
and hone our own talents and skills for Gods glory and mission. Our goal is to be excellent in all
our endeavors, encouraging them to be excellent in every aspect of their lives, especially in their
studies, work, mission fields and in being good sons and daughters to their family.
d) Single-minded for God
Our desire is to form men and women who will whole-heartedly minister and serve God.
Our goal is to uphold and appreciate the importance of loving and following the teachings of
Jesus in becoming His true followers and disciples. Through this we aim to understand our call
and vocation, following only the plan and purpose of God to our lives.
e) 100% Free
This is rooted in our desire to protect life for the continuance of Gods work. Our goal is to instill
the Christian lifestyle among the youth by emphasizing on the sacredness of life and defend the
culture of life vs. the culture of death.
f)
Champion of the Poor

This is our desire to protect the value and dignity of the poor by putting out faith into
complete action. Our goal is to bring out our heroism as ordinary men and women imbibing the
value of unity and team work in order to exude love for the poor. Through this we are
establishing caring relationships and upholding the value of selfless giving and sharing.
g) Patriotic
This is our desire to cradle our love for God in active love for our country. Our goal is to
strengthen the value of excellence, dedication and total commitment in making a difference in
the lives of others and contribute greatly in making this world a better place for the future.
The YFC seven (7) identities are incorporated through the culture of the program. YFC Campus Based has
aims to teach and instill these three cultures: Culture of Passion, Integrity and Excellence into the life
and growth of the youth in the campuses.
Culture of Passion.
A culture of Passion for the Lord: A clich but a true meaning of the identity of YFC campus
based. It means the willingness to bear the zeal of focusing on the Lord and what the Lord is asking
for us to do. To have a culture of passion also means being champions of the poor and being
patriotic not only towards their campuses but also towards the country. To be in a culture of passion
means expressing our love for the Lord by having a missionary heart at all times.
Culture of Integrity.
A culture of Integrity is a culture where every student should uphold, understand, and live
out. These days it is a shaken issue of every student, where from time to time many have been
tested on it. It is a test of character and valued. YFC aims to create a culture where their Christ-like
6
values are not compromised for worldly wants. In YFC Campus Based, we are formed to be firm in
our faith and in the things that we believe in, living it out in the different aspects of our lives.
The struggle of being pure and chaste also defines the battle in the different campuses. The
transformation of many people who are now freed from the bondage of vices and sins serves as the
living example of Christ love through brotherhood and sisterhood. A campus based member should
be proud to share his/her conviction of being 100% Free.
It is in this culture that we set our minds that the Lord deserves nothing more but the best
of us. Thus, exemplifying to be single minded for God at all times.
Culture of Excellence.
A culture of Excellence is our way showing how we do our mission and live our life for the
Lord. Both excellences in studies and in service is one way of showing other people how great God is
in our lives. Each campus based member is called to be a model of excellence in their campuses
striving to be the best that they can be.
However, embodying the culture of excellence not only in our studies and service but it also
means bringing it in our families. As we become the best sons/daughters we can be at home will
make us an instrument of being a source of unity in our family.
III. STARTING UP YFC CAMPUS BASED

A. STEPS IN STARTING YFC IN THE CAMPUSES
1. BUILD A TEAM / FORM A CORE GROUP
Look and gather for possible existing YFC members in the Campus. Coordinate
with the other YFC Programs in the area and look for their members list for a
possible contact person to start the YFC Campus Program. These YFC members
may be potential and can be appointed as leaders for the initial start up
Identify Key people in the campus that can help in opening the campus
Alumni members of the campus
Members of the community who are part of the campus.
2.
PREPARE AND PRESENT

a. Prepare all necessary materials for presentation
YFC primer
Proposal Letter
Endorsement letter (from alumni / community members that are part of the
school) if needed
b. Set an appointment with the Campus Administration for the presentation this may be
done by the Campus Program Volunteer, Campus Program Head, Couple Coordinator
NOTE: The presentation should be done at the very start of the academic year so that the administration will
have enough time to go over the materials.
c. After meeting with the administration, ALWAYS TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING
DETAILS for future follow ups:
Names of direct contact Person within the Campus
7
Telephone numbers and e-mail address (if any) of the campus
3. ESTABLISH AND EXPAND

a. Appoint initial leaders in the Campus (President, Senior Sister Etc.) and establish initial
structure in the campus both pastoral and functional.
b. Coordinate with the Campus Moderator and conduct the following:
Expectation Setting
Orientation on the basics of YFC and Campus Based Program
c. Integrate the appointed leaders to the existing campus household in the area headed by
the Campus Program Volunteer / Campus Sector/Provincial/Country Youth Head /
Couple Coordinator
d. The Campus Core then plan the program of activities for the year with the guidance of
the Campus Program Volunteer assigned to them and with proper coordination and
involvement of the assign Campus Moderator.
NOTE: The Campus Calendar of Activities and YFC National Calendar of Activities should be considered in
plotting the activities inside the campus.
e. Gather all existing YFC members (strategize membership campaign through room to
rooms, setting up registration table, flyers etc) Divide the present membership into
Households. Establishing households are crucial to the work in the campus.
f. Conduct initial Prayer Meetings (refer to the Prayer Meeting Guide and Checklist)
g. Once the regularity of households and prayer meetings becomes stable. The Campus
may plan on conducting a Youth camp (refer to the Youth Camp Manual)
B. SUSTENANCE STRATEGY FOR YFC CAMPUS BASED PROGRAM

To ensure the attendance and participation of YFC Campus Based members, strategies may be
created in order to sustain them in the program. This sustenance can be ensured through:
1. Building a relationship and identifying a hang-out place (if available) where YFC can be found
anytime.
2. Setting a regular household meeting for it to be a primary point of gathering of the YFC
Campus Based members. Be guided by the YFC Household Manual for choice of topics.
3. Regularity of Prayer Meeting. You may find topics in the YFC Chapter Assembly Manual.
4. Seeking for Campus Recognition and Accreditation so as to conduct university wide activities.
5. Working with other organizations for possible partnerships and tie ups.
6. Implementation of all YFC formation and training tracks.
C. LEVELS OF GROWTH WITH STRUCTURE

YFC Campus groups vary in different levels depending on their growth as a group in their
campus. This is done for the following reasons:
a. To give the group goals to work for. This will give them a sense of achievement and growth.
(In essence, this can serve as a motivation for the group to reach greater heights).
b. To ensure that the basic culture of YFC Campus is observed.
c. To provide easy reference as to the size and general capability of each YFC-Campus group
Below is a diagram of each structure and the conditions of how a campus will be categorized as
such. Campuses should make sure that they are following the guidelines and principles in terms
of expanding their structural growth.
STRUCTURE WITHIN THE CAMPUS

1. HOUSEHOLD LEVEL
PRESIDENT
SENIOR SISTER
MEMBERS
Household level is defined as the first level in the growth of a campus. There are no solid
base members yet. The president is being established as required by the school ADMIN in
acquiring recognition of the program. The president, together with the senior sister, conducts
households with the members. YFC is in process as an organization within the campus. The
gathered members may be seen as potential officers for YFC Campus Based
In this level, there is a president and a senior sister. Both are attending their upper
households with the campus program volunteer. Officers in the campus based structure may be
installed, especially if this is required in order to gain recognition by the school administration.
As of this point, installed officers will initially have evangelistic responsibilities (e.g. inviting
people and setting up a youth camp) and will fully carry on further responsibilities at a later
level.
2. CHAPTER LEVEL

In the chapter level, the campus is able to conduct their first youth camp. At this point, the
campus conducts regular assemblies, prayer meetings, and households. The Vice-Presidents who
comprise the entire Executive Committee (EXECOM) can now fully operate on all their
responsibilities and are now household heads to the new members of the campus. As the YFC
Campus Based organization grows in its members, Assistant Vice Presidents (AVP) may be
appointed as household heads.
In this level, there should be four (4) to seven (7) members present in one household (whether
brother or sister). A chapter is then composed of three (3) to five (5) solid households. VPs can be
installed as chapter heads when the organization reaches at least six (6) households, thus having
at least three (3) households each chapter. This level may reach up to ten (10) solid households.
The president and the senior sister are attending its upper households with the campus program
volunteer. The president, together with the senior sister, is able to conduct households with the
CAMPUS EXECOM.

A campus is considered on a cluster when it has reached at least eleven (11) solid households, or
three (3) chapters. VPs now have pastoral roles as chapter heads, having three (3) to five (5)
solid households each. This implies that there can be a maximum of five (5) chapters since there
are five (5) pairs of EXECOM.
The president and the senior sister are attending its upper households with the campus program
volunteer. The president, together with the senior sister, is able to conduct households with the
CAMPUS EXECOM.
NOTE: Campuses with college divisions can have college presidents and senior sisters as heads of chapter and each
college acting as one chapter. If some numbers of households within college department are not big enough to act as
chapter, two colleges can be joined to act as one chapter having one college president and senior sister (e.g. college of
education having one household and college of science having two households can be combined to have one chapter). In
this setting, a campus on a cluster level may have more than five (5) chapters.

D. YFC CAMPUS BASED AREA STRUCTURE

Campus Based Program structure is designed to manage and provide the best possible
organizational flow of campuses in the area in terms of its growth and sustenance. Hence, each
campuses handled is assigned with a consideration of availability and proximity of the ass by each
person to ensure its growth and sustenance.
i.
BASIC STRUCTURE (Pastoral and Service)
CAMPUS YOUTH HEAD
CAMPUS COUPLE
COORDINATOR
PROGRAM
VOLUNTEER
CAMPUS
CAMPUS
The basic structure in the Campus Based Program is composed of the Campus Based Couple
Coordinator and Campus Program Youth Head as the top leadership of the program in the area.
Under them are the program volunteers who handle at least two (2) to three (3) campuses at most.
A program volunteer is needed to fully carry out the formation and sustain the program in each of
the campuses assigned to them. Program Volunteers (PV) are picked and assigned with the following
considerations:
a. Availability of the Volunteers schedule
The sector/province/country must consider whether or not the volunteer can be present in all
activities of the campuses assigned to them.
b. Area of Proximity
The sector/province/country must also consider if the volunteer is located (whether residence,
school, or work location) near the school assigned.
12
NOTE: in order to consider faster and easier building of relationships, the area can have special considerations in
assigning the PV based on how well they can fit in the crowd of the school assigned to them.
The PV will conduct lower households to the presidents and senior sisters in the area. This
means that a household will consist of:
o
Two PVs (of the same gender) who will take turns in leading the households. This
implies that the Campus Based Couple Coordinator and Campus Program Youth Head
should choose one (1) PV as the head, and another as the assistant. The PV assigned to
a specific set of schools still maintains their pastoral accountability to the schools
assigned.
Given all PVs are preferably brothers in order to fully uphold male empowerment and
leadership. PV sisters are only assigned to exclusive girl schools.
The sisters household which is composed of senior sisters and female presidents (for
exclusive girl schools) in the area will be handled by female campus program youth
head.
In cases that the senior sisters/female presidents are more than five (5), a female PV
(whether as provision or not) can be assigned to take care of the remaining senior
sisters.
All PVs will be having their upper household with the Campus Program Couple
Coordinator and Youth Head of the sector/province/country or the Area Program
Couple Coordinator (APCC) and Area Program Youth Head (APYH), if applicable.

ii. FULL BLOWN STRUCTURE

As evangelization continues to thrive in the area, the area might go through certain difficulties in
order to handle its growth. Issues like lack of manpower in leading the schools, and geographical
location of schools may arise as a province/sector/country begins to increase in its number of
schools. As this happens, the sector/province/country may consider handling the program
through the following:
As the number of schools continues to increase, the area (province/sector) may add a Campus
Area Couple Coordinators (CACC) and Campus Area Youth Head (CAYH) to accommodate the
additional schools and provide better handling of these schools in an area.
The province/sector/country may now appoint a Campus Area Couple Coordinator and Youth
Head within its structure to handle at least four (4) program volunteers. This implies that one
area handles eight (8) schools.

Assigning of Campus Area Couple Coordinators and Youth Heads may arise due to the following
needs:
A Sector/Province/Country reaches more than 10 schools, thus, being too much for the
A Sector/Province/Country Campus Couple Coordinator and its Youth Head to handle.
A Sector/Province/Country has schools that are difficult to reach in terms of its
geographical location thus needing to appoint a person that is closer to that area.
The Campus Base Area Couple Coordinator and Youth Head will have the following roles and
responsibilities:
a) Conduct lower households with the program volunteers in their area
b) Collect and consolidate all reports and updates with regard to its status in the schools,
from the program volunteers
c) Reports to the Campus Youth head and Campus Couple Coordinator
d) Acts as a resource person to the schools in their respective areas
iii. AREAS WITH FULLTIME WORKERS/MISSION VOLUNTEERS

In order to further our mission on evangelization, fulltime workers and mission
volunteer are assigned specific roles and responsibilities in order to assist us in our growth. In
this structure, there is specific link between the fulltime worker and mission volunteers to the
area that they are serving in.

Note: This structure is applicable if there is a fulltime pastoral workers presence in the A Sector/Province/Country
In this setting, Campus Fulltime workers are to be divided in order to target two specific goals of
the campus program:
Flagship
Handles all strategic schools in the area throughout their term in the program
15
NOTE: Strategic schools are defined as schools that are considered prominent, can have a
great influence through its students in an area, and has a great potential for growth.
The goal is to sustain the growth of the strategic schools though consistent households,
constant implementation of pastoral formation tracks, thorough application of program
directions, and innovation of strategies for the mission.
The FTW is assigned at least three (3) to five (5) campuses.
Expansion
Handles the opening of all campuses
The goal is for them to initiate and start-up schools, work on it until it reaches the CHAPTER
level.
Once it reaches the Chapter level, the school handled is to be handed over to the
sector/provincial/area program youth head to assume responsibility over it.
NOTE: The Chapter level is defined s schools where in the YFC organization has a complete set of officers, has
been able to conduct a youth camp, and ahs regular households and prayer meetings.
There are instances that an area may only have one (1) FTW and one (1) MV. In these cases, both
major responsibility may be divided among the two, handling only one (1) to two (2) campuses
each.
In some cases, an area may have either one of the two. In these cases, the one present in the
area should take up both major responsibilities, and have one target school for each
responsibility. (e.g. one flagship school and one school for expansion)

25
V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who will I look for if I plan to start up YFC in my campus?
The YFC Campus Based Program Team or Any YFC Mission worker c/o the Couples for Christ. Look for
your Campus Program Head and/or Couple Coordinator; or the Fulltime Mission worker in charge of
your area.
Do we need a Fulltime Pastoral Worker assigned to us before we can start to establish the
YFC Campus Program in our school?
NO! All that is needed is a YFC student, professor or employee within the campus who feels the calling
to bring Christ to his/her campus. The YFC Fulltime Mission worker will be your resource and will just
assist you in establishing YFC in your school. The initiative must come from within the campus.
Who will oversee and guide us as we set up YFC Campus?

Once a person initiates establishing YFC in his/her campus, and has contacted the local Campus Based
Program Team for the necessary information and guidelines, he/she is inserted into a Campus
Household. The household head of this group takes on the role of overseeing the set up of YFC in that
Campus. The household head may be a Campus Program Volunteer, Campus Program Head, Mission
Volunteer or a Fulltime Pastoral Worker.
We are having problems gaining official recognition from our school administration. Can
we still set up a YFC Campus group?
Yes! YFC Campus Based may be established with or without official recognition from the campus
administration as long as they are connected and guided by the Campus Program Team of the area.
However, YFC Campuses without official recognition may experience limited access to school facilities
and support from their school administration.

APPENDICES

APPENDIX 1
YFC CAMPUS FRESH PROGRAM

RATIONALE:
Every year there are YFC members who graduate from High School and move on to universities or
colleges to pursue their studies. During this transition, many of the youths lose contact with their
former area of service, thus sometimes lose pastoral care. This is especially true to those who are
moving to study in another area or city. In support of the belief of CFC, YFC also believes that the
community is a womb to tomb ministry. This means that pastoral care is different and needed in every
stage in life.
With the youth entering into a new world in college, it is necessary for them to have a stable and
reliable support group, and strong relationship with God as they venture further into their academic life.
Thus, the YFC Freshmen Care Program is designed to create a support environment for our brothers and
sisters who are moving on to a different level both in the area of service and in their education,
specifically in the campuses where there is YFC.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To let the freshmen experience the YFC Fundamentals of Fun, Friendship, Faith and Freedom in
the campus setting
2. To provide pastoral care and continuous spiritual growth as they move up to a higher level of
education
3. To create a support environment for the freshman through establishing strong and trusted
friendships through YFC as they start their campus life
GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING THE PROGRAM:
1. The Campus Fresh Care Program is implemented as a support program for both incoming YFC
and Non-YFC Freshmen in the Campus with the following elements:
a. Spiritual and Peer Support. The households in the campuses will play a very important role
in the whole program. Each household will adopt an appropriate number of incoming
freshmen to pastor. The household head is accountable for the nourishment of these
freshmen.
b. Physical support. The household should also look after the physical needs of freshmen
assigned to them. (e.g. Familiarization of the area, showing them the affordable places to
eat, how to take public transportation, where to buy groceries, etc.) It is the responsibility of
the household to orient the freshmen on the peculiarities of their school culture.
c. Academic Support. The household should help the freshmen on the academic aspect, such
as giving tips on how to get better grades, assisting them in their enrollment or school
transactions, looking for people who can lend them textbooks and other references etc.
2. This program operates even before the school year starts. There are two things to consider in
implementing the program:
28
For YFC Freshmen:

a. Coordination with the other YFC programs by the campus program
sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads (e.g. Community Based, HS Based
etc.) is essential before the school year starts.
b. The Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads may
coordinate to the other YFC Programs to gather list of incoming freshmen from their areas.
Information sheets should be filled out and submitted to the Campus program
sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads. (see attached sample Information
sheet)
c. Once the names of the incoming freshmen are submitted, the Campus program
sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads may now endorse the names to the
respective campus leaders to communicate with them.
d. The YFC Campus Core /EXECOM will now take charge in assigning the freshmen to a
respective household. The household assigned will be in charge of helping and assisting the
freshmen until they are fully transitioned in a permanent household.
For Non-YFC Freshmen:
The YFC Fresh Care Program can also be a tool in evangelizing freshmen who are not yet
members of the community. Before the end of the program the campus should see to it that
Non-YFC registrants are informed and encourage attending the nearest possible schedule of
youth camp in the campus.
a. YFCs in the campuses can set up a YFC Fresh Care Booth on the first week of classes and
prepare signup sheets with proper coordination and permission with the school
administration. e.g. letter to administration
b. The YFC Fresh Care Booth should create attraction especially to the freshmen. YFCs can
make simple giveaway freebies or giveaways to those who will sign up. (E.g. Campus Map,
List of suggested Food Shops, Campus Tips etc)
c. At the end of the sign up, the NON-YFC freshmen will also be distributed to the households,
allowing them to experience the culture that we have in YFC.
d. Non-YFC freshmen are encouraged and followed up to join the Youth Camp at the end of
the Fresh Care Program.
3. The Fresh Care Program will be implemented on the first month of the opening of classes on a
per campus level and should be monitored by the campus program sector/provincial/country
coordinators and youth head / Campus Program Volunteer.
4. The Fresh Care Program will end with the Campus FRESH Party.

APPENDIX 2
CAMPUS TOUR
RATIONALE
The traditional means of attracting people, especially the young, to a Christian way of living no longer
appears to be effective. The changing times and trends also require change and added dynamism to the
way we craft our communications and activities that we use for evangelization.
The Campus Tour is basically a celebration of Christs love in each campus. This is YFCs version of
College week, Business week, Organization week wherein a series of activities are conducted to promote
an organization or a particular cause. YFCs, however, promote only Christ in the Campus Tour, nothing
more, and nothing less. It is an evangelization tool to creatively introduce Christ in the campuses
through a series of activities done within the campuses where YFC is present.
Activities created for Campus Tour target to bring awareness to, involve, and evangelize other student
organizations, student body leaders, niche groups, varsity players and other students. The primary
purpose of this activity is to market Jesus to everybody in the Campus, most particularly to those not yet
members of YFC. Thus, the activities included in the Campus Tour should be made appealing even to the
non-YFC members.
The Campus Tour should also serve as a tool that will motivate and help YFC members to live by
Gods direction not only in action and words, but most importantly, in character.
OBJECTIVES
1. To introduce Jesus to Non-YFC members through a series of activities conducted in the
campuses.
2. To provide a starting point for non-YFC members to deepen their faith
3. To create a venue for YFC members to express and share the Gods love that is celebrated
during campus tour
GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING THE EVENT
1. The Campus Tour happens every last quarter of the academic year.
2.
Activities during the duration of the Campus Tour can happen:

Within each Campus involving their own set of officers and Campus tour teams.
Within the vicinity of other campus within the area. It can, then, be an area wide activity
spearheaded by the Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth
heads / Campus Program Volunteers with the involvement of all YFC campuses.
4.
The theme will be different each year. The theme will come from the direction of the
international campus based team, also coming from the yearly direction of the bigger
community in Couples for Christ. However, in certain agreed upon areas and up to extent, the
YFC campuses can tailor fit their themes to their respective setting.

APPENDIX 4
PRAYER MEETING
RATIONALE
Prayer meetings are part of the culture of Youth for Christ, the youth arm of the Couples for
Christ community. YFC Campus Based in particular, had realized the need for the prayer meeting as a
culture to be a lifestyle among its members.
This guide aims to orient the campuses about the basics of prayer meetings. It also intends to give the
campuses the adequate materials and documents for a paralleled spiritual growth through the pastoral
tracks, and basic teachings that is specially designed for YFC Campus-Based.
OVERVIEW
A meeting of YFC members in the campuses held at least twice a month in the premises of their
college or university. It is a time to come together to worship the Lord, hear His words and share the
goodness and blessings He has given the group. It is an affirmation to everyone that truly God works not
only in their individual lives but also to other members of their campus as well.
Prayer meetings are also used as a venue to respond to the spiritual needs or address the
different concerns of the members. Therefore, each campus should strategically select the time and day

APPENDIX 5
CAMPUS PROGRAM VOLUNTEER TRAINING

RATIONALE
The Campus Program Volunteer is one of the main key players in the CFC-YFC Campus Based
Program. Being closely in touch with the youth in the campuses, there is great responsibility and
importance in making sure that the youth are guided in order to experience the life that God wants for
them. Thus, the program seeks to create a training that will fully equip the CPV in handling the youth,
ensure the life of the program, and uphold the culture of CFC-YFC in the schools. This is done through
the CAMPUS PROGRAM VOLUNTEER TRAINING.
OVERVIEW
The Campus Program Volunteer Training (CPV Training) is an overnight training, conducted to
all newly assigned campus program volunteers. This is conducted by the Program Couple
Coordinator/Youth Head or Fulltime Workers and Mission Volunteers of the area, and is usually
executed before the school year starts. The CPV training aims to:
a) Encourage the participants to fully believe, hold on, and be worthy of the anointing given to
them by the Lord
b) Equip the participants on the basics of the program, skills needed in service, and attitudes
they need to take on as they interact with the youth in the programs
c) Empower them to take on the role as front liners of evangelization in the CFC-YFC Campus
Based Program
GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING THE TRAINING:
1) There are two (2) options of training that can be conducted depending on the status of the area,
and the schedule in which this is conducted in. It is recommend that:
a) The Overnight Schedule is conducted during the summer, implemented by the Fulltime
Worker, Mission Volunteer, Provincial Youth Head, or Sector Youth Head.
b) The One (1) Day Trainings are conducted as the need arises in the area to train new sets of
volunteers that will handle new sets of campuses in the area.
2) After this initial training, Program Volunteers are to go through personal trainings through
mentoring and additional training on skill through quarterly assemblies of all PVs in the area.
The goal of mentoring is to carefully and closely guide the youth to live better lives as better
Christians and good examples for the schools that they lead, through personal advices,
sharings, and consistent guidance.
The goal of our skills training is to continue in leveling up the leadership potential and skill of
our program volunteers. This also serves as a venue for them to update to the entire area
(province/sector) the victories and concerns that they have for the schools that they handle.
3) To be better assist the new Program Volunteers, it is recommended that they are given
workshop handouts of all the information that they are to receive in the training.
46
4) Program Couple Coordinators, as our pastor and partners in the service, should be present in
the training and see to it that their partners are assisted as the training is conducted.
5) SUGGESTED PROGRAM SCHEDULE:
a. Overnight
This schedule is recommended to be applied during vacation before school year starts, where
the youth may have more time to allot for the preparation and participation in the training.

TALK OUTLINE
I.
INTRODUCTION
We have experienced a great life here in this community. Realizing the love that He has for us,
we grew to strive to get to know better, see him more clearly, and love Him stronger. Our life has then
grown into a life of deep passion and love for others and for God. We have faced so many challenges in
our lives and yet our strong relationship with Him has pushed us further into doing more for the Lord.
Seeing our passion and conviction, the Lord is calling us to serve Him in a deeper level. As part of His
special plan and purpose in us, the Lord is entrusting us with the very life and vibrancy of the campuses,
through calling us to be Campus Program Volunteers (CPV).
II. CHOSEN BY NAME
As Campus Program Volunteers, we are given the privilege to lead the youth in the campuses we
are handling. We are given a great privilege to be part of a great change in the lives of the young.
Though we know our own weaknesses, sins, and have gone through a lot of difficulty in our lives, it has
never been a hindrance for God to choose us to bring His message to His people. At this point in our
49
lives, He has personally molded, prepared, and chose us by name to lead the next prime movers of
society.
a. CHOSEN TO LEAD.
As CPVs, we are tasked to lead the YFCs in campuses that we will be handling. We are
chosen to guide them in their decisions (both personally and in running the program of YFC),
be good role models through the lives that we lead, and direct them in how they should live
their lives as Youth for Christ. We are to set the first impression for the new YFC members
teaching them the right culture of our community. We are to lead them into becoming good
sons and daughters, trustworthy friends, excellent leaders in our school and society, and be
the best Christians they can be in their daily lives.
b. CHOSEN TO LEARN.
As CPVs, we are also called in the campuses to learn. God is still in the process of
bringing us to a higher level after this. Being CPVs is still part of a bigger plan given to us by
the Lord. Being chosen to lead thus should also move us to realize that we are to also learn
more. This means that more than just telling people what to do, God is telling us, Himself,
what He wants us to learn. Most of the time, we have the tendency to think that we do not
need to learn anything new. We feel that we know much about this service than anyone.
There will be countless instances that we will have great opportunities to learn in the
campuses that we will be serving. New situations, new cultures, new set of friends, and
different personalities all contribute to helping us learn more, do more, and be more for
God.
c. CHOSEN TO LOVE.
We have to realize that being in the community of Youth for Christ also implies that we
are in the business of loving people. We are here primarily to love the people we will
encounter in this mission. We were chosen by the Lord because we have realized and still
continuing to realize the greatness and vastness of His unconditional love. It is through what
we have learned and how we are learning this that we are to inspire our members, letting
them see and experience Gods love through us. This love will be put to the test and further
strengthened in this service, as we encounter different people and face different situations.
No matter what it is, the Lord knows very well that we are capable of handling situations
that test our belief and conviction in Gods love.
III. QUALIFYING THE CALL
Despite knowing that we our chosen, there will still be instances that we will feel that God
committed a mistake in His choice. Knowing our own weaknesses and insecurities causes us to think
twice on our anointing as chosen leaders to serve in His vineyard. It may move us to doubt ourselves,
doubt our youth leaders in the community, or doubt God. However, our duty as missionaries and
servants of God is not to understand everything that He is saying but simply trust and follow in what He
is doing in our lives. God is calling us to believe in His anointing. This is why even if we do not see or
understand it fully, He is choosing us by name because He knows us fully, and He knows that:
A. WE CAN BE ENTRUSTED WITH THE MISSION
Saint Peter was one of Gods dearest disciples. Though he knew very well that Jesus is
the Son of God and have thus expressed sincere loyalty to him, Peter still sinned and denied
50
that He knew God. However, in spite of his sin, this was the same man who was entrusted
with the keys to heaven.
We have had our own experiences of forgetting or denying God in our lives. We have
been in situations that would rather push us to deny that we ever knew God. Instances of
pride, or shame, or fear of being teased or taunted have caused us to forget who we are as
His children. Like St. Peter, we may have denied God several times and yet God can still see
the potential in us. He is still choosing us to lead the people who will stand up to be the next
generation. He still wants us to take care of the future leaders of our society. He still wants
us to take on His greater mission.
B. WE CAN INFLUENCE PEOPLE GREATLY
Saint Paul was a tax collector and well-known persecutor of Christians. People were
influenced by his conviction and followed instantly his commands. Though it hurt, God still
used Pauls strength to bring life and expansion to His mission on earth. Making Saul realize
his mistake, Saul, now becoming Paul, changes into a great preacher of Gods amazing love
for Him.
Just the same, we have had times in our lives that wed rather choose to sin against
God. There may be instances that we have influenced people to do the same, along the way.
God is now using our strength of influence and passion for His greater glory. He is calling us
and using our wrongdoing, turning it into something right.
C. WE CAN INSPIRE PEOPLE TO LEAD
Timothy was a young man who was said to be too young to proclaim the good news. But
young as he was, God used him powerfully to conquer hearts and win souls for Him in
wherever He was sent
Like Timothy, we too may find ourselves too young to handle such big responsibilities.
Some of us feel that we are inadequate for doing this mission. Some of us may feel too
overwhelmed with the responsibilities, convincing us to bail out of this service, or opt for a
lesser service area. No matter how insecure we are of ourselves or no matter how much
we think we lack, God still chooses us and equips us with everything that we need in order
to efficiently do His mission. As CPVs, He will provide us with all the things we need in order
to make the youth realize that each has their own potential and gift, and all these can and
should be used for Gods greater glory.
We all have our own notions or concepts of what good and great leaders should be. We often
feel that one should have the right set of skills, character, or charisma to be able to lead even the most
difficult people. However, God does not operate merely on what seems worthy, or on standards that are
dictated by the world. God knows everything, strengths and weaknesses, past victories and past sins,
future mistakes and future achievements but God chooses us not because of these. More than believing
that we can do this, He chooses us because this is part of His plan of love for us. God doesnt call the
qualified. He qualifies the called.
51
IV. CONCLUSION
God is allowing us to take part in this mission. We are called to create a vision for the young,
inspire them with our lives, and be present to take part in theirs. He wants us to be His missionaries in
these campuses. The bible says, For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his
household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice... Genesis
18:19. There are still plenty of campuses to conquer for God. Many more young people, full of potential,
to introduce Christ to are there waiting for us to believe in our anointing. Let us move forward and begin
our mission, and hold on to Gods promise of greatness for us. As we do so, God will equip and empower
us to become the best of who we are for Him.
V. GUIDE QUESTION
1. Are you still in doubt about you being selected as CPV? Why?

PROGRAM VOLUNTEER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2nd Workshop of the Campus Program Volunteer Training
RATIONALE
CFC-YFC Campus Based invests greatly in every person in the campuses. The program seeks to
make its youth aware of Gods greatness manifested in their education, their choices, and the possibility
of reaching their maximum potential as they face their future. College students seek inspiration in every
people that they meet. They are eager to know more and interact with people that can lead them to
achieve their goals in life, and experience Gods plan in their life.
CFC-YFC Campus Based leaders and its members need persons that can exemplify to them
passion, integrity, and excellence. It is through the consistency of embodying Christ-like values and
leadership that our youth in the campuses can understand Christ, learn His ways, and experience their
purpose in life. This consistency in presence and competency in leading the youth to Christ presents to
us a great potential for the youth generations future. The necessity for such leadership quality moved
the CFC-YFC Campus Based Program to create the need for a Campus Program Volunteer.
OBJECTIVES
1. To equip the new CPVs in their area of service both pastoral and functional
2. For the CPVs to understand the basics of YFC Campus Based Program and on how to implement
it in their areas
DYNAMICS
1. ACTIVITY:

2. Workshop Proper
3. Open Forum
TALK OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
The Campus Program Volunteer (CPV) is a leader within the CFC-YFC Campus Based program
that aims to help the Program Sector Youth Head and Couple Coordinators in sustaining growth and
pushing for expansion of the mission.
1) Upholds the culture of CFC-Youth for Christ through facilitating the application of program
directions and strategies for the mission
2) Ensures consistency and correct implementation of pastoral formation tracks and other
basic sources of nourishment
54
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
Campus Program Volunteers are picked and assigned based on the following considerations:
a) Availability of the Volunteers schedule
The sector/province/country must consider whether or not he/she can be present in all
activities of the campus assigned to him/her.
b) Area Proximity
The sector/province/country must also consider if the volunteer is located (whether
residence, school, or work location) near the campus assigned.
NOTE: In order to consider faster and easier building of relationships, the area can also consider assigning Campus
Program Volunteers based on how well they can fit in crowd of the campus assigned to them.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR A CAMPUS PROGRAM VOLUNTEER:
Must be a brother since he will be taking care of all the campus presidents in his assigned
area
Pastoral Maturity in guiding leaders and members in the college level
Missionary heart in pastoring the young through households and formation tracks
Ability to strive in living/exemplify the Christian Lifestyle
Eagerness in learning the CFC YFC Campus Program
Knowledgeable of pastoral formation tracks given by the ministry
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Campus Program Volunteer (CPV) handles at least two (2) to three (3) campuses at most in their
areas. The campuses assigned to the CPV will depend on the area proximity and the CPVs availability to
visit it. In these schools, the CPV:
1) Visits the specific campuses assigned to establish relationships, inspire the youth, and guide
their leaders
2) Conducts regular lower households to the presidents/senior sister in the area
Since the CPVs are to conduct lower households to the presidents in his area. This means
that a household will consist of:
Two (2) CPVs who will take turns in leading the households
NOTE: This implies that the area program coordinator should choose one (1) CPV as the head, and
another as the assistant.
Though there may be two (2) CPVs in each household grouping, the CPV assigned to
a specific set of campuses still maintains their pastoral accountability to the
campuses assigned.
Four (4) presidents

55
NOTE: In such cases, the campus assigned are all girls campuses, a female CPV will be needed.
The sisters household which is composed of senior sisters/female presidents (for all girls
campuses) in the area will be handled by the female campus sector youth head.
In cases that the senior sisters are more than five (5), a female CPV can be assigned to take
care of the remaining senior sisters. This means that an area may install a female CPV or
assign a female CPV that is already present in the structure.
NOTE: A female CPV is existing in the structure when there are all girls campuses that exist in the area. This
means that the situation requires a female CPV for pastoral guidance and empowerment.

CAMPUS PLANNING
3rd Workshop of the Campus Program Volunteer Training
RATIONALE
As the main point person in leading our campuses, and as the link to the bigger YFC community,
it is our duty as campus program volunteers to see to it that there is a proper implementation of YFC
directions and the YFC Campus Based Program in the area. It is important that one fully understands the
program, so as to be able to properly guide the schools that the CPVs are handling. This workshop seeks
to be able to carry out our understanding into concrete application in our own campuses.
OBJECTIVES
1. To have an appreciation of the greater purpose of YFC Directions and the roles of campus
program volunteers as guardians of our culture and main implementers of YFC program
2. To attain an in depth know-how on skills of planning, target-setting, implementing, monitoring,
and evaluation in relation to the general YFC Directions
DYNAMICS
Part of the workshop is a series of writing activities. The activities will be done as a couple as
partners in the mission. Ample time should be given for the participants to finish each activity.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Writing Materials (Pen and Paper)
Print-out of the activity questions/template (if there is no LCD projector)
TALK OUTLINE
I.
INTRODUCTION
Rooted to where our community is led by God, our YFC Directions translate the CFC Vision in
ways that are relatable to us and to our members. It is through these directions that we, step-by-step,
achieve the vision that God has set out for us. These directions allow us to slowly understand the totality
of Gods vision for us. These directions guide us in bringing our members back to the Lord.
As people anointed by God to guide the campuses and as co-workers with Christ in this great
mission, let us therefore be advocates of the directions and protectors of the YFC Campus Based
Program. We are to guard these, take it to heart, and live it out, so that we may be able to effectively
and efficiently implement these directions and lead the people under our care into one united goal.
II. UNDERSTANDING AND IMPLEMENTING THE YFC DIRECTIONS AND PROGRAM
As people anointed by God to guide the campus, it is important that we have a clear
understanding of the general YFC Directions and know how to tailor-fit these directions through the
program in the campus.
A. Know the YFC Directions.
57
(At this point, the existing YFC Directions may be discussed)

B. Knowing your Campus
A careful examination of the area would be a good start to know how to efficiently bring
down and implement the directions discussed.
(Speaker gives the writing materials as the instructions are given for the activity. Questions
may be posted in a screen/laptop or a print-out of the questions may be provided.)
ACTIVITY: Assess the school. Write down your inputs. The following questions may help in
your assessment:
- How many YFC members do you have in your campus?
- What are the strengths of your campus?
- What are its current challenges/difficulties/struggles?
o Leadership, program implementation, relationship with leaders/other
organizations/with members
o Culture within the organization
- What can you consider as your campuses best practices that helped in their growth?
- In what aspects do you see potential opportunity for growth? (i.e. potential
partnerships, etc.)
(Speaker may give several minutes for the program volunteer to finish the activity. Let them
hold on to their papers as you proceed to the next part of the workshop.)
C. Developing Action Plans tailor-fitting the YFC Directions
After getting a good picture of the status in our campus, let us go back to the YFC
Directions and see how our status can adapt and implement our the current directions of
our ministry. Note how the things listed from your assessment could be organized to exploit
opportunities, fight off risks and challenges and make good use of our strengths to best
achieve the said directions.
(Speaker provides another sheet of paper for this activity. The outgoing OSCC/PCC/NCC, if
present, may aid the couple in the activity. For further inquiries, the Metro Manila
Head/Region Head/Country Full Time Pastoral Worker may be asked. )
Plan and set targets
On a clean sheet of paper, list down the given YFC directions in one side.
Parallel to each direction; write down action plans and targets in achieving the
directions.
NOTE: Action plans are specific steps to take in achieving the direction while targets
are measurable goals or expected output from our action plans.
Guide questions are provided to help in the activity. Consider the notes you have
from the previous activity.
One may also right down major goals that the campus has been trying to attain or
been wanting to attain, aside from the major directions set for this year.

E. Evaluate
Lastly, assess whether the directions are accomplished. If not, note the shortcomings encountered
so as to be able to formulate suggestions for further action plans.
As top leaders in our areas, we are entrusted with this great responsibility. Let us strive to
embrace our ministrys directions for it is also through us that our co-servants (coordinators and youth
heads) will be able to appreciate the greater sense of what the Lord wants us to do and where He wants
to lead His people.

TALK OUTLINE
I.
INTRODUCTION
Today has been a day of learning for us. We learned about the CFC-YFC vision, our specific roles
and responsibilities in our respected areas, new skills, and proper attitudes we need to take on as we do
our mission. No matter how difficult the task or how great our achievements are, it will all mean nothing
if we lack the most important element that will set us apart as truly great leaders, the value of loving like
Christ. More than anything else, serving others should be done out of love, because of love, and for love.
As Campus Program Volunteers, we have a lot in store for us. We will feel and experience the greatness
of His work but as we go through everything, let us never forget that we should all glorify God by
showing them His love.
II. WHEN LOVE IS TESTED

NOTE: At this point, the speaker may share personal experiences when their love was tested as a leader
Christ clearly exemplifies an unconditional and boundless love. It is the kind of love that can
often surpass beyond human understanding. This is why loving like Christ is never an easy task. It takes
an everyday learning, practice, and striving to be able to love like Him. As CPVs, we ought to be aware of
this difficulty in order to constantly rely on the Christ for His help. Throughout our mission, our ability to
love will be tested and it will be those times when:
a) People we serve with or look up to disappoint us
61
Many of us get encouragement and motivation in the people that inspire us. These are
the people who have knowingly or unknowingly set an example for us to follow. At the same
time, its natural for us to expect help in the people that we serve with, especially because
we are in this mission together. The people we look up to and the people we serve with
often make the journey in this mission easy and manageable to get by.
However, this expectation, as natural and harmless as it may seem, may cause our love
to be tested, especially when our expectations arent met. We will experience times when
people we work with dont measure up to our own expectations and standards. These
disappointments will lead us to self-pity and resentment, thinking that we are the only ones
passionate about this mission. This failed expectation can lead us to be disheartened in the
mission, unforgiving, judgmental, and critical of the people that we serve with. We forget to
love. This may happen when:
Our own leaders forgetting their own commitments to us (e.g. being late in their
own meetings)
Members seeing the inconsistency in the leader with their words and actions
Officers not accountable to their attendance (being late, failing to conduct or attend
HH)
b) People discourage and judge us

We will need empowerment and encouragement to be able to stay, endure, and commit
to this mission. Because of the greatness of His work and the gravity of this mission,
compliments and support are valuable for us in order to finish and complete what the Lord
has called us to do.
However, in this mission, this is not always the case. We will encounter situations where
in we feel judged because of our performance or discouraged because of seeming
difficulties that we encounter along the way. People will judge us primarily because of what
we see and we, too, will judge our capability because of the situations we cannot seem to
overcome. Harsh words from others and to us test the depth of our love. This is often felt
when:
We are judged as incapable compared to the leader that was previously holding our
position
We feel that others are performing better than us
We do not feel support from our parents and friends to the point that they laugh or
tell us to stop serving
When we feel that other leaders are better than our own abilities
c) People are being too difficult for us to handle

It is often easy for us to love when the people that we are handling are lovable,
obedient, and humble to us. Most of the time, it is easier to give our all to them because
they are reliable and obedient to us.
This comfort in loving may lead us to forget that our members are all a work in progress.
They can be full of passion and then be completely unfocused the next. Difficult people can
62
test our patience and endurance in loving. They can also unconsciously make us feel that we
are not capable leaders to handle difficulties. Our love is tested when:
Our presidents dont listen to us and the direction that we try to guide them by
We encounter people that sin and are not open to us
We experience being disrespected by our members
III. LOVING LIKE CHRIST
Christ knows that it is not as easy for us to love. We are all in an everyday learning process of
learning to love like Him. This is why the more that we encounter tests in loving, the Lord is calling us to
respond in only one, to continue to love. As we are called to continue and strengthen our love for
others, He reminds us to take on the following attitudes in learning to love like Him. We have to
remember that our love should:
a) Bear all things
We will be encountering people that are difficult, discouraging, and disappointing. There
will be instances that we will feel them all at the same time. Throughout being tested in
love, we will feel so many negative emotions, leading us to think that the easiest way to do
it is to simply quit and stop loving.
It is during these times that the Lord calls us to be humble and simply bear all things. He
is calling us to surrender and simply embrace the situations we are in as part of our training
in learning how to love. Just as he bore the pain and sins of many, we too should take on
that attitude of loving by:
b)
Showing loyalty even to the people that have hurt us

Praying for the people that we hurt and have hurt us in return
Refraining from judgment and more focus on showing compassion
Believe and hope in all things

When our love is tested, it may cause us to slowly doubt Gods plan and lose hope in His
promise. Discouragements and difficulties can often make us think that God has made a
mistake or we are unworthy of His calling. We tend to forget that we have a God that can
do greater things than we imagine.
In these instances, God simply wants us to love by believing in and giving hope to the
people that we serve with. To love like Christ means to never get tired of believing in the
good of every situation and the people we meet. As CPVs, we are called to continue in
hoping so that others may be encouraged to move forward despite pain and trial. We love
by:
Learning to correct others properly in private, believing that there is still hope to
change
Continuing to empower others with tasks despite past failures
Encouraging them still through affirmation and being mindful of the good that they
are doing
63
c) Endure all things

Difficulty in loving can cause us to give up in doing it. When all is too much to bear, we
may tend to simply let go of our service or give up in the people we love. This may lead us
to conclude failure and be blind to the greatness that is in store for us with Him in heaven.
God wants us to finish strong. He has called us to run the race and achieve the prize in
accomplishing Gods task for us in our areas. To exemplify His love means to continue in
loving despite defeat, pain, or struggle. It is a call to perseverance and determination to
finish everything that He has asked us to do. It is a call to courage, knowing fully well that
God has a promise for us, waiting for us to be claimed. To love means to endure by:
Seeking for help and assistance in elders, youth leaders, or coordinators instead of
giving up
Praying fervently to the Lord for courage
Not stop in loving the person despite being hurt
IV. CONCLUSION
We may have the vision, we may become great leaders and be successful in our activities but
without love it is means nothing.
(Read the bible verse out loud first than let them repeat the 2 nd part of the verse replacing LOVE
with their name)
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a
clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I
have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if
I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
LOVE is patient and kind; LOVE is not jealous or boastful; it (he/she) is not arrogant or rude.
LOVE does not insist on its (his/her) own way; it (he/she) is not irritable or resentful; it (he/she) does not
rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. LOVE bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and
endures all things. (RSV 1 Corinthians 13:1-7)

APPENDIX 6
CAMPUS VIP SUMMIT

RATIONALE
V.I.P. stands for Very Important Person The Campus Core is one of the most important units in
the CFC YFC Campus Based Program. Being closely in touch and involved with the youth within the
campuses and being the main key players in running the YFC Campus Based Program within the school,
there is great responsibility and importance in making sure that they are guided pastorally and trained
properly in order to fully carry out the mission and uphold the anointing that God has given them.
In knowing Christ, we have to know some important leadership qualities that he practiced; a
man of VISION, INPIRATION and of PRESENCE. People follow Jesus because of these qualities. We too
can practice these, so that in our campuses we can truly prepare our young for leadership role.Thus, the
program seeks to create a training that will fully equip the Campus Core in handling their members,
proper implementation of the program, expanding the mission, and upholding the culture of CFC YFC in
the schools. This is done through the CAMPUS VIP SUMMIT.

a) Encourage the participants to fully believe, hold on, and be worthy of the anointing given to
them by the Lord
b) Equip the participants on the basics of the program, skills needed in service, and attitudes
they need to take on as they interact with the youth in the programs

TALK OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
A great mission lies ahead of us in YFC Campus Based. There is so much that the Lord wants us
to do and experience in order for us to realize the greatness of His love. Being chosen as leaders puts us
on a greater opportunity to be involved and be used as instruments for the Lords work. We know that
much is at hand for us and an urgent call to action is required. However, we should remember that our
mission wont take effect if we dont have a vision that we are all looking forward to achieve. To have a
VISION means to have an image of the future we seek to create. It implies an urgent call to make a
dream a reality. As the core group of YFC Campus Based, it is important for us to have our personal
vision, not just for our personal goals but for our universities as well.
OUR PERSONAL DREAMS
Short Activity: My Personal Dream
The speaker asks the participants to write their personal dreams. (e.g. what they plan to after their
graduation, dream for future families, for future work)
69
The dreams that we have turn into our personal visions when we start to have that desire to
make it a reality. These are the visions that, unconsciously or consciously, we work hard for, through the
everyday decisions that we make. The visions come from a desire that the Lord has personally planted in
our hearts. All of these are glimpses of the Lords great plan for us in our lives.
No matter how personal it may seem, we have to realize that our eagerness and effort to make
our vision a reality, affects the dreams and visions of other people and our society. Seeing ourselves as
good future parents who will provide and love their children, someone faithful to their spouse, excellent
doctors preserving lives, teachers giving quality education, lawyers fighting for justice, or someone that
simply does the good and the best for themselves, family, and society, are all part of Gods plan for us.
To us all of these seem like individual visions. To God, he sees it as a collective bigger vision already
realized and claimed by Him through His plan.
YFC CAMPUS VISION

Every personal vision that we have is part of the bigger vision of YFC Campus Based: A renewed
and united society in Christ through the campuses. This vision implies that every member of the society
seeks to have Christ as their main reason and goal for anything and everything they do. YFC Campus
Based dreams that:
Each member of the society is renewed in Christ

Through the programs that we create, YFC Campus Based envisions that in the
end, each person is able to gain a stronger and deeper relationship in Christ, fully
surrendering to His will and personal plan for each and every one of them.
United in one major goal, which is to honor and praise and Him.
With each person being for Christ, YFC Campus Based pushes further that
everyone be united in one great joined effort to complete the task of bringing Gods
message of love and His plan to the whole world.
The YFC Campus Based vision, thus, sees the campuses as an excellent breeding ground to teach
people to have a strong relationship and conviction for the Lord, so that in the end, we have a society
that works for and worships the Lord.
WORKING TOWARDS THE VISION

We are all here because the Lord sees the value of each and every one of us. He has personally
picked us, despite our insecurities, failures, and sins, knowing that in end our personal dreams and
visions can contribute to fulfilling the bigger vision that He has for YFC CAMPUS BASED.
We are called the CAMPUS CORE of this program because we are the people who make the
vision happen. We, as the campus based core, lead the people to a future reality that the Lord has
already claimed for us. Knowing that our personal vision contributes to the bigger vision of YFC Campus
Based, our vision for our own campuses can greatly move the vision faster to reality. As early as now,
we, as the pioneer movers in our own campuses, should move towards the vision by:
70
A. Having PASSION for what we believe in

The world says, I have to see it to believe it. As Christian leaders, as John Maxwell
says, we say, I have to believe it to see it. Leading with vision is having the passion to focus on
what the Lord is asking us to do, even if it means not understanding or experiencing it first.
We work hard towards the vision by making sure that we, and the people that lead, are
able to believe it first. This requires having full faith and trust in the Lord who has already won
the victory for us. As Campus Core, we are to exude passion through everything that we do, fully
believing that our dreams will become a reality in Gods time. This also means putting value in
our journey towards the vision, believing that each step towards it is already a partial fulfillment
of our dream. As Campus Core, we are to exude passion in our vision by:
Reminding our members and our fellow officers of its importance and how it can
affect us personally
Making sure all our plans contribute to the vision that we have set
Being vocal of our passion through talking about the greatness of this possible
reality
B. Building INTEGRITY in our personal lives
Our vision will become a reality when we start doing what is necessary and when people
start seeing and experiencing it in our lives. This means that it is not enough to simply HAVE a
vision. As we speak of the greatness of the vision, our personal actions must reflect of it as well.
This means we need to show corresponding actions that motivate our members to also yean the
visions full realization. You enable people to dream and help them reach their potential to
achieve that dream by living the vision and putting it to reality in a day to day basis. Everything
that we do or say must bring us a step closer to the fulfillment of our dreams. We do this by:
Living out the values that the culture of campus based has taught us passion,
integrity, excellence
Making sure that the plans we want to have or the change we want to see in society
and in our members are evident in us
C. EXCELLENCE in all our endeavors
Dont just dream with a mans heart, dream and believe with a mans heart inspired by
Gods spirit. To work towards our vision means to yearn for the best and be the best in
everything that we do, knowing that each step contributes to a step closer towards Him.
As movers of the mission, let us not settle for what is good, but instead settle for what is best.
We all have our own limitations but we can never limit what the love of the Lord could do to us.
Let us learn to rise above mediocrity by increasing our faith and trust in Gods plan. Have a
vision with excellence in your heart and mind giving the best that we could offer, for our God
doesnt deserve anything less than our best.
I. CONCLUSION
The vision that we want to happen might not even become a reality during our time as Campus
Core, leading us to feel frustrated in our plans and anxious of the future. Let us remember: For the
vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment and will not disappoint; if it delays wait for it, it will
surely come, it will not be late. Habakkuk 2:3. We will experience Gods victory when we allow Him to
71
use us completely and when we respond to His vision of grace and total surrender. We will receive great
power for our global work (Act 1:8) As leaders, we need to lead our people to victory by the power of
His Spirit (Romans 15:18-19) Let us never lose sight of the vision no matter what happens for surely, our
life and the lives of others depend on it.

TALK OUTLINE
I. INTRODUCTION
This community moves on one thing, the inspiration seen and experienced through Gods
amazing love. This inspiration has been of most important things that weve felt in YFC, that it has
moved us to serve and be where we are today, as prime movers of YFC Campus Based. All of us were
inspired by what we have learned, the people that we have talked to, the challenges that we have
surpassed, and the goodness that we saw in our members, but most of all in the leaders around us. They
were one of the people in our lives that drove us to have passion and conviction for the Lord, moving us
to do greater things for God.
To be inspired is one great feeling. It brings us feelings of motivation and encouragement,
prompting us to think of doing things that weve never thought of before. People can be inspired by
many different factors but as Christian leaders, we ought to use the inspiration of Christ. However, there
will be times, especially throughout the mission, that we will fail to be inspiring. Most of the time, these
are the moments that we are hardly aware about. We fail to be inspiring, when we are
a) Distracted
As we strive to do our best in serving the Lord, there will be instances that we will be
distracted with the difficulties and struggles that we are going through. Our problems will get
the best of our thoughts and our emotions. Too many activities, assignments, and projects will
push us off our balance in time. This leads us to lose focus in our excellence and wallow in our
emotions. We fail to inspire people to push for the best, and give hope despite the problems
that they have.
To be inspiring, we have to put back our focus on God. We were inspired by our leaders
who we knew where very centered on their relationship with God. To be an inspiring leader
means to have God in every decision and every action of your life. We were inspired by these
leaders because we experienced the Christ in them.
b) Demand too much from Others
The yearning to be inspiring often leads us to think of big dreams and reach for high
goals. Though these can be great achievements, it may push us to abuse our position, and
exercise the wrong kind of leadership over our members. Instead of wanting them to be inspired
with our actions, it leads them to think of us as being arrogant, setting unachievable
expectations, and too supervisory in our approach. Instead of inspiring them to do more and
give more, we simply instill fear, and resentment.
To be inspiring, we have to strive to exemplify servant leadership. We were inspired
because of the humility that we saw in our leaders, encouraging us to give selflessly through our
service and in our love for the people around us. We were inspired by their humility and
excellence showing nothing but the best for Christ.
II. LIVING BY INSPIRATION

Being aware of the instances that we fail to be inspiring and knowing what we were inspired by
moves us to do the same for our own schools. We, as the Campus Core, lead our people through the
example that show. This example is our way to inspire to do more, give more, and be more for the Lord.
As the first to inspire, we are to:
74
The inspiration that comes from Christ reflects in the passion in which we do His work.
As Campus Core, it is important that we are to inspire our members with the passion and love
that we show for the mission that He has given us, by giving importance in our anointing and our
relationship with Him. Let us always keep in mind that this should be an unwavering kind of
passion that should be evident even while experiencing challenges and trials. We are to show
passion by:
a. Being consistent in our prayer time, always seeking to be connected to our
ultimately inspiration
b. Not giving up when challenges in our service and in our personal lives arise
c. Seeking to be positive and having a joyful disposition, leading to uplift everyones
spirits
d. Remaining hopeful in the Lords plan at all costs
1. Exemplify INTEGRITY: Consistent in both words and action
We are able to inspire our members when they see in action what we teach with
passion. As Campus Core, the principles that we hold on to are to be evident and lived out in our
daily lives. Inspiring our members with our integrity means we are to be living witnesses to His
transforming love and power in our daily lives. We are to exemplify integrity by:
a. Proclaiming and sharing how God has transformed us to be who we are now
b. Being honest of our weaknesses and transparent of what we are doing to improve
and overcome it
2. Pursuing EXCELLENCE: Setting the standard
People are driven and excited when they see our goals and what we do in life are done
with efficiency and excellence. As Campus Core, we are able to inspire our members when they
see us not settling for anything but the best for our Lord. To inspire means to be excellent in
everything that we do, pushing ourselves further in raising our standards. To inspire in pursuing
excellence means to:
a. Always seek for an efficient and excellent ways in achieving goals
b. Striving to think out of the box in order to push higher our standards
c. Achieve Christian excellence by remaining humble, through offering everything to
God
III. CONCLUSION
As Core leaders in our campuses, we are to inspire the people by our passion, excellence and
integrity, making Christ our personal inspiration and motivation. More than our capabilities, the Lord
requires a heart that is teachable and willing to be inspired by His example of love and leadership. let
your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
75
REFLECTION AND PRAY OVER

1. The speaker leads the audience into prayer.
2. The speaker is to ask the participants to reflect on the following guide questions:
a) What are the insecurities/fears/sins that I have that may cause me to be uninspiring
to my members?
b) What am I willing to do to be inspired by Christ so that I can be inspiring to others?
3. After the reflection, the speaker is to lead the crowd into a pray-over session.
4. There should be at least five (5) prayer stations present. The number of sister or brother prayer
stations should depend on the number of male and female in the crowd. (e.g. 3 brothers and 2
sisters as prayer stations).
NOTE: Prayer stations are YFC Campus Based top leaders (program youth heads/mission volunteer/fulltime workers)
tasked to pray over the members of the campus core who are to request for it.
5. The speaker encourages the crowd to go to the prayer stations and be prayed over by their
leaders.
NOTE: The speaker must state that the sisters are to go to the sister prayer stations and brothers to brother prayer
stations
The goal is to allow the participant to share their reflection and be prayed over, showing
encouragement and support in their struggles.
7. The speaker will end the session with a praisefest.

LEADERSHIP BY PRESENCE
3rd Session of the YFC Campus Based Summit
ANCHOR VERSE
let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting
together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another Hebrews 10:24-25
OBJECTIVES
1. To realize the value of being present and have presence in the lives of their members
2. To encourage the Campus Core group to be hands-on in all activities and present in executing it
3. To inspire the Campus Core group to put into action their visions and plan for their area
Speakers Profile
1. YFC Campus Based Fulltime Pastoral Workers / Mission Volunteers
2. YFC Campus Based Program Youth Heads
TALK OUTLINE
I. INTRODUCTION
Knowing that we are in the presence of something greater than us moves us to do more than
what we usually do, pushing ourselves to be more excellent and putting on the best foot forward.
Presence means a lot to the people who are discovering who they are, needing a guide, or follow a good
example. Being in someones presence creates impact in our lives. It has been seen how the presence
of Jesus in the midst of the storm, significantly calms their troubled hearts. As YFC Campus Core, we
have to realize that it is not important to just be present but more than that, we have to HAVE
PRESENCE.
II. The Presence of Presence
Gods power and love is immeasurable for man to gauge. It is too vast for man to comprehend. It
emanates from Him naturally and without fail. One of the great ways that the Lord uses to make people
experience His presence is through the persons that He chooses to lead. To have presence means to
have bearing and to be felt.
a. Presence builds relationships
In His ministry, Jesus walked with His twelve (12) apostles, sharing to them His story, His life,
and His love for the father. Because they were constantly in His presence, He was able to know
the people around Him more deeply and easily. It was through this deep knowledge brought
about by constant presence that allowed the people around Him to experience His love first
hand.
b. Presence begets influence
Jesus influence was consequent there after He had close ties with His apostles. Passion
in serving the Lord and loving people is best shared through being fully present whenever we
77
interact with our members. Jesus full presence and awareness allowed Him to exemplify who He
truly was. They knew exactly what Jesus was talking about simply because they saw how Jesus
lived his life according to the principles that He taught. The relationship He built with them was
His gateway to influence them greatly through His words and, parables and teachings.
III. LEADERSHIP BY PRESENCE IN CAMPUS BASED
As Campus Core, we have to make us of our presence as we bring the message of His love to
others. Our full presence moves the people we are leading to be motivated in giving more than a 100%
to God. Our actions, the words that we say, and seeing us physically present propels them to move
faster for the mission. Being leaders of Campus Based, we are to exemplify leadership by presence
through:
a) PASSION: Being there when it happens
As top leaders in our campus, our presence is important not only in the activities but in
the lives of our members as well. Let us our make our presence felt by allowing them to see and
experience the passion that we have for the calling that God has given us. Never forget to make
your love for God known through you. Let us refrain from merely being present and move it to
making our presence felt.
Be present in all the activities

Speak and share of God through personal one on ones and group sharings
b) INTEGRITY: Be yourself a witness to Gods transforming love and greatness

Our integrity as a person contributes greatly to the sincerity of our presence. Being
present in the lives of others should move us to build up on our own integrity. Just like
Christ, we are to make sure and be more mindful of striving to live by what we teach
every day. Let us be perfect witnesses of Gods transforming love, by being ourselves
and sharing what God has done to us.
Allow your members to get to know the real you
Do not be afraid of letting your members know about your past they will see how
Christ is real in you
Be mindful of the way you dress, your actions, what you say
c) EXCELLENCE: Create strong impact
As Campus Core, our presence should be evident through the way we lead our
campuses and in the way we do things. The excellence we strive to pursue contributes to the
strength of the presence we make in our campuses. We are to be show presence through being
excellent by:
Showing humble confidence in our God whenever we speak

Being both a leader and an older brothers/sister to them
Doing things excellently and efficiently be your campus role model of being excellent in
all things.
78
IV. CONCLUSION
Gods love is too much for us to contain within ourselves. We were called to share this love in
anyway and every way it can. One of which includes the presence that we have in the campuses that we
leave. Having presence and being present in the areas that we serve create a lasting impact in the lives
of the persons that look up to us. God is calling us to have leadership with presence in order to maximize
our witnessing of His power and message to everyone.

TIME MANAGEMENT
1ST Workshop of the Campus VIP Summit
OBJECTIVES
1. To let the participants learn the value of time management.
2. To guide the participants on how to really manage their time according to priority.
DYNAMICS
Part of the workshop is the time management worksheet. This will be an individual activity and
should be given ample time to accomplish.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Visual Aids
Copies of the Time Management Worksheet
TALK OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
Our commitment as servants of the Lord entails us to many opportunities of growth pushing to
strive for excellence in the things that we do. As Gods servants we should keep ourselves up in
effectively doing Gods work.
To be able to do this, we should learn to manage our time. Efficient management of our time keeps
us away from half baked effort due to time constraints.
III. Stephen Coveys Time Management Matrix as Mind Map
By Chance Brown
We all only have 24 hours in a day. And if we get 8 hours of sleep we only have 16 hours. So the
question becomes, What do we do with those 16 hours? Isnt it interesting how some people use
those 16 hours to be incredibly productive while others accomplish very little?
Why is that? Why do some people achieve their goals and experience great productivity and
success while others do not?
Stephen Covey, in his book First Things First, notes that those who accomplish very little are
probably spending a large amount of their 16 hours in the Quadrant of Deception and the Quadrant of
Waste. In his book he highlights four quadrants where one can spend their time: 1) Quadrant of
Necessity, 2) Quadrant of Quality & Personal Leadership, 3) Quadrant of Deception, and 4) Quadrant of
Waste.

Last minute preparations for scheduled activities
III. Quadrant of Deception:
Not Important, Urgent
Interruptions, some calls
Some mail & Reports
Some Meetings
Many Pressing Matters
Many Popular activities
82
V. Processing the activity:

Each of us has a choice as to how we will allocate our time between these quadrants. But one
thing is for sure: when it comes to achieving your goals and living a life of minimal stress all quadrants
are NOT equal.
The first mind map below defines the four quadrants and how you should allocate your time.
As you will see from the mind maps, the trick to managing your time effectively is to:
1) Manage the Quadrant of Necessity as best you can.
2) Focus on the Quadrant of Quality and Personal Leadership for it makes the Quadrant of Necessity
more manageable and helps you achieve your goals faster.
3) Be Careful of the Quadrant of Deception because activities in this quadrant may appear urgent when
in fact they are not. Too much time here will slow your progress towards reaching your goals.
4) Avoid the Quadrant of Waste as much as possible. Too much time here and you will not achieve your
goals at all.
83
Quadrants are arranged to priority levels. First things first. However, after earlier quadrants are
accomplished, succeeding quadrants may be done if our time and health still allow.
VI. Conclusion:
Time is one of the most precious gifts God has given us. Time is limited resource. Each of us has only
exactly 24 hours a day. No more and no less. Once gone, it cannot be returned and is irreplaceable. That
makes it extremely valuable. This is why time management is important. We should use our time in the
best possible way because time will never get back to us.
84
MENTORING
2nd Workshop of the Campus VIP Summit
RATIONALE
The work of evangelization in our community, most especially in our ministry is fast moving.
With that in mind, arises an urgency to raise more leaders who can be the forerunners in this work. The
concept of MENTORING is an answer to the pressing need of molding more leaders for Christs vineyard.
Mentoring is a venue for us to practice our obedience to Gods anointing, humility to submit ourselves
to the leader assign to us and also to the person assign for us to take care of.
OBJECTIVES
1. Introduce the basic concept of mentoring
2. Give emphasis on the importance of mentoring in our work of evangelization
3. Encourage each YFC leader to carry out the concept of mentoring in their respective areas.
4. To help the YFC leaders to honor each others anointing by allowing each other to become a
mentee or mentor in which way they are called to play the role.
DYNAMICS
1. The speaker will discuss the different aspects of mentoring allowing the participants to
understand the crucial role of mentoring as part of their pastoral role.
2. After the workshop proper the speaker will guide the participants in making their own pastoral
plan.
3. The workshop will end by allowing the participants to share the output of their pastoral plan.
MATERIALS
Copies of the Pastoral Plan Worksheet and Action Plan
TALK OUTLINE
I. INTRODUCTION:
Mentoring is a relational experience through which one person empowers another by sharing
God-given resources it is a positive dynamic that enables people to develop their potential. It is defined
as a sustained relationship between an individual. Mentor is usually older, always more experienced,
who helps and guides another individuals development which is the mentee.
The guidance given in mentoring is not done for any personal gain. Mentor will help his/her
mentee to choose the most efficient path to success a path to holiness together with our goal to
produce the next generation of leaders.
II. Importance of Mentoring
We watched Jesus relate with His twelve disciples, we see that mentoring was His method to
raise up laborers (Matthew 9:3710:8). He spent time investing in this small cluster of men as much
85
or more than He did in public ministry to the masses. Mentoring is a unique from most church programs
in that it is so focused. The surest way to secure your impact on people is to enter an accountable
relationship with a conscious objective to produce measurable growth.
III. Understanding the qualities of a good mentor;
A. Mentor embraces GOALS.
G Godliness. They must demonstrate godly characteristics and conduct that is worth
imitating. They should remind you of Jesus.
O Objectivity. They must be able to see strengths and weaknesses clearly, and be
willing to communicate those honestly.
A Authenticity. They must be real. You must be able to see their humanity; they
should be genuine, transparent and open with you.
L Loyalty. They must be people who are loyal to others. When friendships (or
mentoring relationships) are formed, they are committed to them.
S Servant hood. They must be willing to give generously of their time, resources and
wisdom. They see their mentee as a big part of their ministry.
B. We should also understand that;
a. MENTORS ARE NOT
- Perfect people
- Leaders who try to make you like them
- Workers who want to use you to help accomplish their goals
- People who give you time out of duty and obligation
- Successes who will give you a free ride to fame and fortune
to
b. MENTORS ARE
- Mentors are imperfect people but they are aware that they are perfectly loved
by a perfect God.
- They are those rare individuals who celebrate the highs in life and are willing
listen in our lows.
- They will cheer for and correct us when needed.
IV. The call to be a mentor

Mentors are very useful especially in our community. It helps us pass on the things that we have
learned to the next potential leaders in our area who eventually will assume our service and continue
the mission of Christ. After all, Success without a successor is a failure. John Maxwell
In the same way that we all hold incredible potential for developing people successfully, we all
hold the opportunity to damage them as well. Authority can be abused; ignorance can prevent us from
doing what we ought; lack of discernment may cause is to say something hurtful or mistaken.
As a mentor we are called to be a
DISCIPLE and help our mentee with the basics of following Christ.
SPIRITUAL GUIDE and be accountable in their Christian maturity.
COACH by motivating them to use skills needed to meet a task/challenge.
86
COUNSELOR who gives timely advice on life and career, perspective on self and on
others/ministry.
MODEL and live a life that is above and beyond reproach.
As a mentor you are going to be a guide, encourager, resource, evaluator and provider in
information and knowledge that your mentees need.
V.
Conclusion
The vision of making Christ known to the ends of the earth is possible. And we will start here in
our respective areas. Let us develop the potential in each and every Youth for Christ leader/ member in
our areas. Let us practice the concept of mentoring and develop more leaders to work in the Lords
vineyard. By this way, we will make them know that Christ is not only the most exciting person in this
world but also our role model and our great mentor.
87
PASTORAL PLAN WORKSHEET

After knowing how to mentor now is the time to practice it by making a pastoral plan.
Mentoring is a way to empower our members and to push them to the limits of their leadership
capabilities and that can be possible by drawing a pastoral plan solely fitted for your mentee.
This strategy aims to mold and as well as monitor how a mentee is growing as a leader. The
pastoral plan is the way to shape up the leaders or even the members we have in our sector. The
pastoral plan also is the way to deepen the relationship of our mentee to the Lord.
What is a Pastoral Plan?

Purpose of the Pastoral Plan
1. To identify the youth leaders vision for his life with the Lord
2. To identify specific actions needed to accomplish the vision

TALK OUTLINE
I. Introduction
We have been blessed by God to be called to serve Him and experience the joy of being with Him. YFC is
Gods gift to us. YFC is a work of God. We need to understand more what God is doing so that we can
align ourselves with the plan of God.
All of us gathered here are leaders of YFC Campus Based and we
are at the forefront of the work. In this training, we want to see more clearly what Gods call is for us
and to see the bigger picture behind our work. Thus, we must first embrace the bigger vision and
mission of our community which is:
96
CFC Vision: Families in the Holy Spirit Renewing the Face of the Earth
CFC Mission: Building the Church of the Home and Building the Church of the Poor
II.
THE VISION IN THE CAMPUSES

We believe that renewing and transforming the face of the earth can also be achieve if the
youth in the campuses will start and be renewed by Christ. Relating it to the vision and mission of YFC
Campus Based:
OUR VISION: A Renewed and United Society in Christ through the Campuses
We have a dream
We have a dream of a society very different from what it is today. People say we cannot
realize it, yet we dream of a day when husbands will be faithful to their wives and children.
Fathers will protect instead of abuse their children. Lawyers will fight for justice and not
just for the highest paying client. Doctors will preserve life instead of abort it. Governments
Leaders will serve its people instead of exploit it. There will be less crime because
businessmen will not push their employees into the kind of poverty that breeds crime.
OUR MISSION: Empowering Gods Witnesses in the Campuses that will transform the
society.
Society can be renewed and united only through Christ. There is no other way to do it,
but only through Christ, which is why it is of utmost importance that every student would know
Christ for them to be empowered witnesses.
Our dream can be made into a reality if we are able to do our mission of empowering
every student that will become future professional to become Gods witness among society.
Having empowered witnesses among society would help start the renewal of society that would
be united in Christ.
III.

Because in Christ, God reconciled the world with himself, no longer taking into account the sins
of men, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we present ourselves as ambassadors in
the name of Christ (2Cor 5:19-20)
We have been entrusted with the message, a vision of being renewed and united in Christ. As
ambassadors in Christ name we are given the responsibility to guard this vision. To guard the vision
means to keep it alive by living it out and passing it on to others thus inviting others to be guardians as
well.
A.
Gods Vision
What we are protecting is not just our vision; it is Gods vision for us which He
revealed to us. This is part of His crazy dream for us which we learned during our
youth camp. A vision realized when Christ died on the cross for the sake of a world
renewed and free from sins. . His mission cost Him HIS life, yet He entrusts us with
the same mission, the same dream.
As leaders of our campus we have been given a great privilege and responsibility
to make sure that this vision is passed on.
97
B.
How should we start taking on our roles as guardians of the vision?
1. Believing in the vision and mission

We need to believe that this dream can be realized through our work in the
campuses. Having in mind that if we teach Christian values in the future lawyers,
doctors, businessmen, government leaders, and professionals today, while
they are still students in the campuses, while their values are still being formed,
this vision can be realized.
Believe this vision can be realized because it is the Lord that gave it to us. Our
belief in the vision should manifest in our daily life. When we invite our closest
friends and even people we do not know into our youth camps and ensuring
that they grow deeper into their relationship with God, we are showing our
belief in the mission that we have because that is the start of empowering Gods
witnesses in the campuses.
2. Living the vision and mission
If we want a renewed society, we should be renewed ourselves. (Col.3: 5-9).
Before we can renew society there should be renewal in ourselves first. We are
to offer to God all parts of our lives, our victories and struggles, our joy and
pain. Continue to be a witness even after YFC. When we are no longer officers
or once we move from the campus into the work place, and as we transition
from YFC to SFC we are called to continuously be a living witness.
3. Passing on the vision and mission
We need to make sure that your younger members, especially those who will
become the next generation of leaders will know, understand and believe this
vision. We can effectively pass it on when we have lived it out so that we can
serve as an inspiration that truly the vision and mission that we have can be a
reality. When we make sure that we are a model of excellence in our studies
while actively serving, we can truly pass on the vision and mission. We are to
remember this vision. Keep it in our hearts until it moves us to act.
IV.
CONCLUSION
Each one of us was put in our campuses, chosen, and anointed to guard the vision and keep our
mission. Whatever we do in our campuses is part and parcel of the fulfillment of our vision by being true
to our mission. As the front lines of our campuses, we are to embrace this vision and act on it, fulfilling it
one campus at a time, empowering Gods witness one by one.
SHARERS:
At this point the speaker may call on one or two people to share how the vision is being realized in his /
her life. (E.g. A former member or leader of YFC Campus Based who is still currently living out the values
he/she learned during his/her YFC years.).
98
REFLECTION:
After the sharers are done, the speaker should lead the participants into a time of reflection based on
the following questions. (The participants should write down their reflections). Group discussion by
EXECOM will follow after the reflection. Discussions will revolve around the same questions listed
below.
SONG PROFILE: Song about offering oneself to serve God

GUIDE QUESTIONS
1. Do I really believe in the YFC campus vision: A renewed and united society in Christ through the
Campuses?
2. How is the Lord calling me to live out this vision in my personal life and in the campus I serve in?
99
ONE BODY
2nd Session of the Campus EXERT
ANCHOR VERSE
For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though
many, are one body in Christ 3 and individually parts of one another. Romans 12:4-5
OBJECTIVES
1. To realize their own value as part of the executive committee
2. To understand how each part of the executive committee is important to the over-all mission of
YFC Campus Based
3. To be encouraged and motivated to work as part of a one moving body in YFC Campus Based
SPEAKERS PROFILE
1. A YFC leader who exemplify what it means to be a team player
2. Preferably a former EXECOM in his/her campus
DYNAMICS
1. OPENNING ACTIVITY: My Piece in the puzzle
MATERIALS NEEDED:
PUZZLE PIECES
- A big piece of paper with a big picture of the YFC Campus Based logo, drawn in a very
light version or watermark style. The size of the drawing may depend on the number of
people attending the activity.
NOTE: The bigger the number of attendees the bigger the puzzle piece.
- This big piece of paper is to be cut in puzzle piece shapes.
- The service team is to write the roles and responsibilities on each of the puzzle piece
shape.
NOTE: The roles/responsibility has to be written more clearly/darker than the watermark of the campus
based logo.
One role/responsibility one puzzle piece.

Number of puzzle pieces may depend on the number participants and kind of officers
available during the activity
E.g. four (4) participants are presidents = four (4) puzzle pieces with different roles and
responsibilities of the president
Tape or masking tape
MECHANICS
All the pieces are laid out in front of the whole crowd, with the roles and responsibilities
seen.
Each participant is to be given time to look at the puzzle piece and get the role and
responsibility they think fits their position.
Once everyone has a piece, each participant is to state the role and responsibility written on
the piece that they have chosen.
They are given time to think if they have the right/wrong piece.
100
The crowd is then given a maximum of three (3) minutes to form the whole puzzle.
Talk proper
TALK OUTLINE
I. INTRODUCTION
DIFFERENT PARTS, ONE BODY
NOTE: The speaker is to connect the game to this part of the talk.
For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we,
though many, are one body in Christ 3 and individually parts of one another. Romans 12:4-5
The human body is one great manifestation of Gods greatness. Each part created with intricate
details to fulfill a specific function. No part is without a value or use. Each part depends on one another
for a sustained life. Each part contributes to sustain life.
It is same as with each executive committee in all campuses. Each committee is created for a
specific function that would help make the name of Christ known. No committee is with higher value
than the other for they are all equally important in the mission, each having role in sustaining the loving
relationship between God and us, His beloved sons and daughters. Different our functions maybe, but
we share a common goal of bringing people closer to God.
II. OUR PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY

Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you
great responsibilities. Come; share your masters joy.Matthew 25:21 Like the parable of the talents our
Master has entrusted to us our different offices. Consider each office a talent given to us by God. A gift
that we are to cultivate and further improve and to do so we need to have the following leadership
attitudes:
1. I can do it (Confidence)
I can do it if the Lord wants me to do it.
2. I must do it (Obedience)
I will trust my leaders even if I dont understand fully. I dont have to know everything to be
effective, I can learn as I go.
3. I will do it now (Urgency)
People need the Lord now. I will have a sense of urgency for the work of YFC.
4. l do it well (Excellence)
If I cant do it well, Im just wasting my time. What I do will not compromise my love for
others.
5. I am excited to do it (Excited)
The excitement will come when I realize that the Lord is full of and the source of excitement.
Do not look for exciting work, or exciting people to work with, rather be a source of
excitement.
6. I will enjoy what I will do (Joyful)
Joy in your service is not something you will find; rather it is a posture of the heart.
7. I will not stop until it is done (Perseverance)
101
I will persevere, no matter how difficult the situation is or people are, because I am not a
quitter. I cannot quit on the on myself, on the Lord and those I serve.
III. WORKING AS ONE
To work as one we need to be at our best for everyone. The work Christ entrusted to us was meant
to be shared and not just for a single individual to work on it. Every Executive Committee head should
try to be the B.E.S.T. for one another.
Believe
We should believe in one another. We are to believe in one anothers anointing, that all of us
are called and chosen by God to perform a specific task. We are to believe in one anothers capability
enabling each and everyone to be at their best.
Encourage
We are to encourage one another to not give up in times of difficulty. We are to help one
another. When one falls down, we are to pick him up and help him move forward. We dont limit one
another but instead we encourage one another to surpass our human limitations as we fulfill our
mission.
Share
We are to share our life and the story of Christ in us that would serve as a source of inspiration.
We are to share all the talents and learning we have that could help make one another better. We are to
share the resources God has blessed us to help one another. We are to share the Christ in us in further
building one anothers ministry.
Trust
We are to trust one another, that each would do his part in fulfilling our mission for the
realization of our vision. With complete trust we would do our best in our specific task knowing that
everyone is doing their very best. We are to entrust our lives to one another making everyone
accountable for each and everyone.
IV. CONCLUSION
The whole EXECOM together with its EXECORE embodies the whole of Christ. Each bears the
mark of Christ in them. Each plays a vital role to manifest Christ. This is a gift that we are to take care of
and develop. We are given this privilege to serve God in special ways, and it up to us to use this great
opportunity to serve Him by trying to learn new things that would help us serve more effectively in our
respected office.
GUIDE QUESTIONS
What do you think will your struggles be in working with other officer?
What are you willing to do for the team in order to accomplish Gods mission?

THE GREATEST OF THESE

3rd Session of the Campus EXERT
ANCHOR VERSE:
So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
OBJECTIVES
1.To help campus EXECOM members know that the most important ingredient to truly great
leadership is service love.
2. To help campus EXECOM members take on the right heart for their office / service by teaching
them the value of forgiveness, humility and the healing power of prayer.

of their campus whom they may have hurt or have hurt them, or people they feel need
special prayers.
Several songs may be used for this pray-over session depending on the amount of time
needed by the different EXECOMs for prayer. The music ministry / team leader should have
a feel of the crowd, sensitive as to when this time should end.
4. PRAISE FEST
SPEAKERS PROFILE
1. A YFC leader who understand the importance of love in the mission entrusted to us
2. Preferably a former EXECOM in his/her campus
TALK OUTLINE
I. INTRODUCTION
We have been hearing about so many things today important things that we will need as
leaders next school year vision, our attitudes, specific roles and responsibilities in our respected
executive committee, but all of these will mean nothing if we lack the most important element that will
set us apart as truly great leaders, the virtue of love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-7)
Serving as leaders is a great privilege but is also a difficult and often thankless job a job that
often times test our love for one another.
II. WHEN LOVE IS TESTED

(At this point the speaker may share personal experiences when their love was tested as an
EXECOM member)
103
A. When the people we work with dont deliver.

Many times the people we work with dont measure up to our own expectations and
standards. We feel like were the only ones who are working. Often times this discourages
us to the point where we ourselves stop giving our all in service. We forget that we serve
not for the people around us but the Lord. We begin to be critical and resentful. We forget
to love.
B. When the people we look up to disappoint us
Many of us are encouraged to serve initially because the example of those who served us
seeing these people make mistakes or fall into sin can easily destroy our passion to serve.
(E.g. The parent adviser, Full time worker, president, senior members)
Many times all we need to do is find out the real circumstances of situations like this.
Gossip, which seems to be one of the last things that Christians break free from, often gets
in the way of many relationships we forget to love.
In any case, it is important to remember that our leaders are human too. It is not that we
are justifying their actions; we just have to be compassionate, as Christ is.
C. When others judge us

In the same way that it becomes so easy to judge our leaders other people judge us as well
(many times without even thinking of asking us to explain ourselves or things we may have
done).This also happens when people unwittingly compare us to those who held our office /
position before we did.
We often hear this in statements like; My old household head used to do things this way
or That never happened when he was president. Although we may pretend that
statements like this dont affect us, many times they often do. It makes us want to hit back,
or judge others as well we forget to love.
When others judge us, our response should always be to forgive as Christ chose to forgive us
when our sin nailed Him to the cross.
III. OUR RESPONSE
When situations like these hurt us or tests us, there is only one reaction that we ought to have
love.
A. Love and loyalty
To have love and loyalty means protecting the people we love seeking truth
and sticking to the truth and not passing on judgments quickly base on feelings.
If there is real and serious wrongdoing with regards to the person concerned,
our love and loyalty should lead us to correct the matter personally with him / her or
through the proper channels (e.g. his household head, service head).
B. Love and being right
Many times our desire for efficiency or rigidity to follow policies and guidelines
makes us hard and insensitive to the situations of those around us.
Being loving and right at the same time would come from Christian love. We try
to lead people to what is right because of our love for them. Gods nature is both just
104
and loving. Our being loving can come in the form of correction but not pointing out
that I am right and they are wrong We try to point out that we dont settle for what is
good but instead we strive for what is best because of our great love for God. Our every
action should be coming out our love for God and our brethren.
C. Love and greatness
To have love and greatness means to never miss an opportunity to honor and
affirm the people around you. You rejoice in the achievement of others for in their
accomplishments God is glorified. To have love and greatness means not to aim for
personal gain but to aim to lose oneself for the gain of God. It is allowing oneself to
decrease as the Lord increase.
IV.
CONCLUSION
Real greatness loves before anything else. Our greatness shines out when we are able to be
compassionate and learn how to forgive. It shines out when we are humble enough to admit
that we need help or are wrong and ask for forgiveness.
We experience real joy when we are instrumental in bringing out the greatness in other people
and, only love can do this.
Only if we serve in love will our vision, leadership and success truly have meaning. Even
situations that may seem like failures will be successes because these will be opportunities to
love.
If we love then we would have learned the most important element of truly great leadership.
Only then will we understand what St. Paul meant when he wrote and the greatest of
theseis love. (1 Cor. 13: 13)
ACTIVITY
At this point we will take time to pray for each other. Many of us have been judged and hurt, and
many of us have judged and hurt others as well. And so we must pray that the Lord will give us
the humility to accept our weaknesses and give us the grace to forgive to love and to refresh
us to serve anew next year.
1. The speaker (or team leader) will lead the participants into a general prayer of healing,
forgiveness and the grace to serve in and out of love.
2. Reflection songs can be played to set the mood of the pray over sessions.
3. After the general prayer, the participants should be encouraged to go around praying-over
and ministering to each other. During this time, participants may take the opportunity to
repair damaged relationships or resentments by asking to be prayed over or by personally
asking for forgiveness if the persons involved are present.
4. The session will end with worship.
105

TALK OUTLINE
I. INTRODUCTION
(Exodus 16:1-3) Moses led wanderers through the desert. Moses saw the vision, he knew Gods
promised, but he led a community of wanderers. They were wanderers who marched through the
wilderness not knowing where they were going. His peoples doubt, Pharaohs ignorance, plus his lack of
self-confidence were but some of the challenges he had to face when he decided to accept the task of
leading Gods people. Like Moses, in spite of our own weaknesses, sinfulness and doubts, we are called
to lead our members who may be wanderers, people who may not yet see the vision. This task is not an
easy one.
II. THE WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND
What kind of challenges can we expect as we lead our members to the Promised Land of having
a renewed and united society in Him wherein lawyers, doctors, government officials and other
professionals knows God and testifies to His love?
A.
Bickering in the desert

What are some of the difficulties you will encounter as you lead Gods people? (The
speaker should share some of his/her experiences in the circumstances mentioned below)
1. There will be conflicts within the core group. There would be times that they will have
different views.
2. People will complain especially when they experience spiritual dryness, or
dissatisfaction.
3. Factions and frictions might arise within your campus and even the core group.
4. Relationships and loyalty will be tested within the core group.
5. You may experience lack of support from your families. They may not allow you at
times to attend activities.
6. Lack of support from your YFC brothers and sisters.
7. Functionality may destroy the spirit of love your prayer meeting will no longer be
nourishing. People will start making excuses why they cant make it to your meetings.

Praying for Manna

4
Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will now rain down bread from heaven for you. Each
day the people are to go out and gather their daily portion; NAB Exodus 16:4
These challenges however should not discourage you. Gods grace will always be there
right when you need it. What should our response be whenever we encounter these
difficulties?
1. Always pray.
Pray for your co-officers, your members and yourself. This will teach you wisdom and
love it is the most powerful weapon that we can rely on.
2. Seek to be a source of unity.
Instead of contributing to the division, always be a part of seeking reconciliation.
3. Never indulge your emotions.
This is where most conflicts and disappointments occurdo not be indulge with
negative feelings.
4. Do what is expected of you.
This will allow you to avoid unnecessary disappointments.
107
5. Anger should only be directed towards the sin, never the sinner.
This is the kind of anger that is motivated out of love. Check your heart whenever you
have to show anger
6. Parents Orientations
Help your members parents become aware of the importance of the work you are
doing.
7. Value your relationships more than your work.
Never allow gossip or disagreements to compromise your relationships in the YFC
community. Invest in loving and caring for each other until you are confident enough to
correct each other.
C.
The crosses in our lives

Our personal struggles
Our personal struggles could lead at times for people to question our anointing. It could
also lead us into losing sight of Gods plan for us resulting for us to commit sins. We
need to continue struggling towards what is good, not giving up on ourselves. We need
to seize the opportunity to love God more.
People Difficult to love

Loving is what we ought to do but there are people that are really difficult to love, but
this does not give us any excuse to stop loving. It is just but an opportunity for us to be
more loving.
Unfavorable circumstances
There would be lot of times that circumstances will not be on our favor making it
difficult to continue serving. This could lead us into being fearful of all uncertainties that
go with the unfavorable circumstances we will experience. We need to see this as an
opportunity to trust the Lord more than anything else, and just be assured of His
promises to us.
Once we decide to follow Jesus and serve Him we need to be prepared to make a lot of
sacrifices. Its all part of this adventure called faith. In the end, the crosses he brings us are what will
strengthen us and help us hurdle the obstacles we will face as Christians and as leaders.
III. CONCLUSION
If anyone wants to come with me, he must forget himself, carry his cross and follow me. For
whoever wants to save his own life will lose it; but who ever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 16:24-28
We have a choice. We will either see our service as a burden or as an adventure that will
strengthen us. Either way, we will still experience the same problems. If we see our service and the
people we serve as a burden, we will end this year spent and burnt out. But if, by Gods Spirit, we view
it as an adventure, than by the end of the year, we would have lived more than most. We will be
refreshed and ready to serve even more.
We must realize that we are signing up for the battle, not for the victory expect difficulty and
hardships. Every soldier goes into battle expecting to be shot at or be bruised, but this is what makes the
victory even sweeter.
108
Be assured that God is with us. This is His work, this is His battle, and we are His army. He will
never leave us. He is our shield and our fortress, our defender and our deliverer. And with this
confidence we march off on to Battle!

VP for Special Projects Workshop
RATIONALE:
It is important that we do the necessary preparation in every activity/event we will be doing.
The growth of the ministry in each campus is greatly affected by how enriching and nourishing every
activity/event we will be conducting. Every activity/event is a venue wherein we have the opportunity to
listen to God. This is why proper training should be given in order to have a good grasp of all the
functions, needs, and details that need to be put into creating a great spirit-filled event/activity for God.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To equip every VP/AVP for Special Projects with the basic skills of event management.

TALK OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
Over the years Youth for Christ as a ministry has grown a lot and improved a lot especially in
conducting events that caters to the young. Our events paved way for the creativity of our youth to be
appreciated. It created opportunities for the young to express themselves and Gods message in their
own special way utilizing their God given talents.
It is just but right that we do the necessary preparations in delivering Gods message and
showcasing our God given talents to evangelize. An understanding of the elements and the preparations
needed would help us conduct our activities excellently.
110
INTEGRAL ELEMENTS OF EVENT

1. Attraction
In planning an activity/event it is important to consider what would attract the youth to
attend the said event. It may be:
a. Increasing Participation
b. Choice of Venue
c. Sheer Number of expected attendees
2. Nourishment
In every activity/event we aim to nourish and enrich all who will be attending by giving them
things to ponder on that would help them grow in their personal relationship with God and
at the same time letting them have a genuine experience of fellowship. The usual things we
prepare to ensure our activity/event will provide nourishment are the ff:
a. Talks
b. Speakers/shares
c. Creative Component
d. Worship/Praisefest
3. Entertainment
In delivering Gods message to the young, there is a need to translate it in a language
they understand and enjoy listening to at the same time. The journey with Christ is an enjoyable
journey and for some our activity/event can be the start of them acknowledging that journey so
it is important that we package our activity/event in a way that it would be appealing to the
young. There is a need to ensure that aside from a nourishing event it would be an enjoyable
and entertaining as well.
4. Pastoral Handle and over-all theme
Having a pastoral handle gives an event a central message which will serve as a basis of
all that is going to be prepared for the activity/event like the overall theme. Having an overall
theme helps in transcending the central message of the event and it helps the attendees to have
a concrete association when recalling what they have learned.
5. Budget and time table
In preparing an event it is important to have a time table to project at a certain time
what needs to be done. It serves as a basis in following up the preparations and prioritization of
task for every committee.
Having a budget table ensures that we work with a reasonable amount that would not
cost deficit for the event but instead help raise funds as well for future activities/events.
6. Venue
The venue plays a vital role for the event. In looking for a possible venue it is important to
consider all its advantages and disadvantages.
111
3 PHASES OF PREPARATION
PRE EVENT PREPARATION

PRAYER MEETING 101

VP for Evangelizations Workshop
RATIONALE:
Over the years the numbers of our members are growing and this calls us to ensure that all of
our members get nourished in our prayer meetings. Knowing the dynamics of a prayer meeting would
help make our prayer meetings more dynamic and appealing to the young. Our prayer meetings should
basically bring people into Gods presence in a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. If the prayer meeting is
not nourishing, rooted in Christ and exciting to your members, then we cannot expect our members to
continuously attend and grow in their relationship with God.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To equip the VP/AVP for Evangelization with the basic knowledge of how to conduct a prayer
meeting.
2. To ensure that every prayer meeting would be spiritually enriching and nourishing.
3. To make sure that the culture of Christ that we have in our community would be passed on.
MATERIALS
Scratch Paper
DYNAMICS:
1) Workshop proper
2) Activity (Mock Prayer Meeting)
3) Open Forum
TALK OUTLINE
I. Introduction
The prayer meeting is a venue for everyone to build and nurture relationships. YFC members
are always excited to go out of their house and meet with their friends. Thats why whenever there are
activities; they are always on the go. In YFC we provide them alternative set of friends and wholesome
activity. We make sure that in all of our activities the 4Fs are experienced. This is not achieved in one
time big time activity. For that reason, we make every gathering a great experience to YFC. We see to it
that every prayer meeting will bring our members into Gods presence.
II. Elements that make a Prayer Meeting
A. Relationships
The prayer meeting is an opportunity for the new and old YFC members to see and bond with each
other. This is also a chance for everyone to build new friendships and strengthen the relationship of
the group.
115
B. Worship
The worship is the time when the people get to be in Gods presence.. In our community, we
worship with songs of praise and hear the message of the Lord.
116
The role of the worship leader is very crucial in leading the worship. His goal is to encourage and
bring everyone to pray. Moreover, he will set the posture of the people of what the Lord wants to
convey.
C. Talk/ Activity
The talk or the activity develops the whole message of the prayer meeting. It is important that this
will be delivered in a manner understandable to the youth. The topics that will be given can be
taken from the Chapter Topic Manual while for household prayer meeting it can be taken from the
Household Topic Manual.
D. Sharing
The sharing is conducted to enhance the message of the prayer meeting. This will help the listeners
understand and capture the points. It is encouraged that the sharers will be YFC members so that
the listeners can easily relate with the message. This usually talks about the victories,
challenges/trials, conversions of our members.
During prayer meetings, the team can prepare two sharers and may encourage more sharers on the
day itself. The team should listen first to the sharer before the start of the prayer meeting.
E. Summary of the activity
This is when the prayer meeting leader connects all the parts of the prayer meeting from the
worship, talk/activity, and sharing. This is where the group prays, responds to God. If there are any
birthday celebrants, this is also the part when we will pray for them.
III. Types of Prayer Meeting
Household (twice a month)
- House to house prayer meeting is done from one house of HH member to another.
Collective Household Assembly
- Is a form of household wherein when the chapter gathers together in one assembly to worship
and then disperses for household group sharings.
Chapter Assembly (once a month activity)
- is a form of prayer meeting wherein the chapter gathers in one assembly to worship and listen to
the specific teachings.

could first summarize the prophecies, and what he heard from the
Lord during the worship to help set the tone for the meeting.)
Sharing - People share about the blessings they have received, victories
in their lives and lessons they have learned for the past week. Songs
may be sung from time to time to avoid the monotony of sharers. (It is
important that the music ministry listens to the sharings for them to
play songs which are appropriate for this specific time.)
TALK /SESSION
The talk is based on the topic the campus has chosen for that specific
month from the Chapter Assembly Manual.
Implementation Activity. This activity is a follow-up activity for the
talk that was given beforehand. The implementation activity is done

there is a concrete application of the learnings for the talk during the
previous week. The implementation activity is given on the second
week of the month.
Prerogative Talk This talk is to discuss certain concerns, issues or
needs of the members that has not been covered by specific topic of

various talk outlines included in the Campus Manual or from other
teaching tracks of YFC.

V. The Prayer Meeting Leader

A. Roles of a Prayer Meeting Leader
1. Welcomes the YFC members
2. Introduces the Worship Leader
3. Introduces the Speaker
4. Call on Sharers
5. Summarizes the whole prayer meeting activity
6. Calls on the Closing Prayer Leader
7. Announces the reminders
8. Makes sure that everyone is at ease and comfortable in the prayer meeting.
9. Brings people in Gods presence.
B. Skills of a Prayer Meeting Leader
1. People Dynamics
It is good that the prayer meeting leader knows what works best for people. It is better if he has a
good stock of stories, jokes and anecdotes. One of his roles is to keep the attention of crowd and
excite them of what is about to happen.
2. Getting people to share
The prayer meeting leader is expected to say something encouraging (like a story or an experience)
to get the members to want to share. He can call out names or site some exemplary members
who are inspiring or had been struggling but still holding on to the Lord.
3. Listening
119
The prayer meeting leader should be the most attentive in the prayer meeting. He needs to listen to
sharers, speakers, and to the prophecy. Mainly because Gods Word is spread out in so many parts
in the prayer meeting. He then connects all the points that God said during the whole meeting.
Thats why it is important for the leader to listen intently. He should take down the important
points of the talk / sharing.
4. Exhortation
The prayer meeting leader is expected to excite people and give them reason enough to give praise
and thanksgiving to God in whatever state the crowd is at the moment. There are two kinds of
exhortation:
a. Exhort people to worship (3-5 mins)
This can be a story from the bible or a personal experience. This will encourage people to be in
the right posture for the worship to honor Him, listen to Him, and to praise Him.
b. Summary based on the sharings and the talk
This exhortation encourages people to respond to Gods word. It challenges the members to
respond. The Prayer Meeting should say something like, This is what God said, and I believe
brothers and sisters that HE is telling us to That should be ended with a prayer.
VI. Important Notes
1. The ideal seating arrangement in an assembly is square or oval where everyone can hear the
speaker in front.
2. Avoid having the listeners face the door or window so that they wont get distracted by the
people entering/passing by.
3. Gathering songs are intended to gather members---No matter how many people are there
during the prayer meeting, the Music Ministry should start singing or teaching songs.
4. Dont start with an apology, Start Confidently!
5. Once people are gathered, before you introduce the start with the worship leader, introduce
and recognize new people, freshmen students to the group.
VII. Workshop Output:

1. The participants will be asked to prepare a mock prayer meeting taking note of all the elements and
considerations they need to prepare for a prayer meeting.
2. The facilitator may assign the participants with specific roles that they will take on in the mock prayer
meeting.
VIII. Conclusion
Now that we know the basic and essential parts of a prayer meeting, let us not keep this to our
notebooks. Rather let this be our guiding formula. The Lord has provided us ways how we can have
effective prayer meeting. This is His gift to us; let us make this gift a blessing to us and to other
people especially to the youth.

TALK OUTLINE
Introduction
Many people are suffering now more than ever. Of the approximately 7 billion people in the world, an
estimated 925 million or 13.1% of them experience hunger regularly. This means that almost 1 in 7
people are hungry as of 2010 (FAO, 2010).
At a time when most of the world is content to live for themselves, we are called even more to leave our
comfort zones and reach out to those in need: ourselves, our fellow humans, our country, and even
Gods gift of creation.
Slideshow/Video that highlights the current condition of our society, as well as photos of some
individuals who have made a difference in this aspect
(Distribute primers on ANCOP, Greeneration, 100% Free, and Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our
Country)
SOCIAL ACTIVISM STARTS WITHIN US 100% Free (10 minutes)
Social activism involves advocacies. To be an advocate of something means to be a mover and
sustainer of a particular cause that should form an ideal society. Taking part in this would make us part
of history for we are shaping the future.
As Youth for Christ members, we always seek to put our name into a lifestyle as we try to live
out the 7 YFC Ids. In all aspects of their lives, the aim should be witnesses of Gods transforming love to
the millions of youth who wish to experience the same. One of the identities as Youth for Christ is to live
100% Free.
Our 100% Free Identity stands on THREE BASIC PRINCIPLES and made firm by EIGHT CONVICTION
STATEMENTS. Living the free life allows us to be:
1. FREE to LIVE
Free to live stands by the conviction statements that support taking care of our own bodies and lives. It
supports the principles that discourage substance abuse that will lead us not only to an unhealthy
lifestyle but also to sin.
1. Zero Drugs YFC says no to substance abuse.
2. Smoke Free YFC says no to smoking.
3. 0% alcohol - YFC believes that drinking alcohol is not a sin itself but as young as we are, our
bodies may not be able to handle and control alcoholic content. YFC believes in practicing
self-control and clean fun. YFC stands by the fact that we dont have to drink alcoholic
beverages and get drunk, in order to experience fun.
2. FREE to BE
122
Free to be stands by the conviction statements that uphold being who we really are, both in name and
in essence. This means living out our true selves and who we are made to be. It encourages living out
the roles of a man and woman, in accordance to Gods plan.
4. Pure Inside and Out YFC believe not only in the purity of our bodies perse but also purity
at our very core. We believe in purity of thought, speech, and action. Our hearts and minds
are the core of our being and it is important that these be free from negativity, and
lustfulness. This means YFC discourages physical self-gratification, and avoids green jokes,
and swearing.
5. 100% man and woman YFC believes that God has created specific roles for us as men and
women. YFC believes that we are designed to be man and woman, in order to live with each
other and work together for His purpose. We encourage the youth to live their identities as
they were created, either as man or woman. We also ought to help our brothers and sisters
that have trouble in realizing their identity in Gods plan.
6. Free from pornography - YFC believes that our bodies are created sacred by God and should
not be exploited for selfish pleasure. YFC believes that minds are powerful cultivators of our
actions and thus should be free from lustful/malicious thoughts that are promoted in these
materials.
3. FREE to LOVE
Free to love stands by the basic principles of upholding the genuine kind of love that the Lord has given
us. This means loving the way that God has taught us, unconditional and unfailing. This means believing
in the kind of love that is learned, experienced, and given in Gods time. This means that we dont have
to enter into a romantic relationship to feel the genuine and real kind of love. As sons and daughters of
God, we have the privilege and the ability to love.
7. Virgin and Proud YFC believes that sex is a sacred gift given by God that is appropriate
only after marriage. YFC believes that sex in essence is used for pro-creation. This also goes
beyond technical and physical virginity that only relies on its definition. Being virgin and
proud means having dignity and integrity. It means loving yourself and experiencing the kind
of love that is not just bound by physical intimacy. This also means that we, as Youth for
Christ, should not engage in pre-marital sex. YFC believes that sex is a gift intended only for
pro-creation between two mature adults, joined by God in marriage.
8. Real Love Waits Real love is defined as the genuine kind of love that comes as a GIFT from
God. Like a gift, it should be made precious; taken cared off, and received in its proper time.
YFC believes that special romantic relationships are examples of this kind of gift. Thus, we
believe in the essence of waiting, as we prepare ourselves to receive this in His perfect time.
While waiting for the right time and at our age, we, as Youth for Christ, should focus our
time, love, and devotion on our relationships with parents, friends, and siblings first. YFC
believes that this is the time to build lasting relationships with these people and not lead
ourselves to be isolated in early and premature relationships.

Social Activism through helping our brothers and sisters ANCOP Child Sponsorship Program
1. ANCOP (ANSWERING THE CRY OF THE POOR) is a program of Couples for Christ which is duly
registered under the name CFC ANCOP-TEKTON FOUNDATION, INC.
2. Was established for the purpose of consolidation of CFCs efforts in BUILDING THE CHURCH
OF THE POOR
3. Vision: Bringing Christs transforming love to the poor
4. Mission: Answering the Cry of the Poor
5. Education as one of its Four Pillars.
6. This program believes that education of a poor child and his family is:
o key to restore hope and faith toward transformation of the whole community
o gives poor families a chance to break out of the cycle of poverty

Social Activism and Nationalism
Alexander Ledesma Lacson was a graduate of the University of the Philippines College of Law,
1996, and took up graduate studies at the Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Mass. His wife, Pia Pena is
a lawyer U.P. 1993 a legal counsel for Citibank. They established a foundation together to help
underprivileged children through school, and are now subsidizing 27 young scholars in different public
schools in Alexs native Negros Occidental.
Alex is an eloquent and devout Catholic. He believes God must have destined our people for some great
role; why, in all history, he reasoned, were we Filipinos the only Christian nation in Asia? One thing is
certain: He and his wife Pia practice their Christianity and live it.
Four years ago, he and his wife had a serious discussion about migrating to the US or Canada because
the Philippines, as a country appeared hopeless since things only got worse year after year. They wanted
to know if their children (they have three, one boy and two girls) would be better off staying in our
country or abroad in the next 20 years.
Pia and Alex had asked themselves the question: Is there hope for the Philippines to progress in the
next 20 years?
They reasoned: If the answer is Yes, then they would stay. If it was No, they would leave and relocate
abroad while they were still young and energetic. There were long discussions. One day, the realization,
Alex recalls, struck them: the answer to that question was in themselves. The country would improve,
Pia and Alex finally understood, if they and every other Filipino did something about it. Leaving the
Philippines was not the solution. As Lacson put it in his book: The answer is in us as a people; that hope
is in us as a people.
These are the 12 things every person can do to help ones country. At first blush, they seem simple.
When you study them more closely, they are difficult to do. But all of us, even the youth, can do them.:
1) Follow traffic rules. Follow the law.
2) Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.

A. Social Activism and the Environment Greeneration

From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom
much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded. (NRSV, Luke 12:48)
YFC Greeneration is a campaign that aims to rally todays youth to become a green generation,
and that of a greener nation. This is our response to the call for responsible stewardship and is designed
to link with the Catholic Church in organizing and implementing relevant programs that will help stop or
lessen the deterioration of our Earth and promote for its care instead. We acknowledge that the Earth
and everything on it came from God and would not exist without Him. This advocacy anchors on the
verse:
"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1:3)
The YFC Greeneration advocacy has three components. First, we receive Gods gift with
gratitude. Second, we cultivate Gods gift responsibly. And third, we share Gods gift lovingly. The
advocacy also presents Seven (7) Ways to Haven, which clearly identifies concrete ways to living the
advocacy.
7 Ways to Haven
PRESERVATION
a.
aircON OFFer to Gods Creation

The use of air conditioners is steadily becoming a trend. It was designed to provide us comfort in our
homes, place of recreation, and even in our work place. Even though it was intended for the betterment
of our quality of life it has its detrimental effects and so responsible use of it is a must. We usually turn
off our air conditioners at a certain time as a means to save up money by reducing energy consumption,
but we can put a deeper meaning in it. We can turn off air conditioners and offer it to the preservation
of balance in Gods creation putting a better spirit behind our act. More than just an act of saving up
budget, it is also an act of saving lives.
b. Lights OFF Life ON

Having lights in our homes, workplace or almost anywhere else is a necessity for us to do our
specific task. In our long day there are moments as well where in we dont require the lights to be on
125
but we still leave it as is. Turning off lights when not in use can promote life preservation. It lessens the
use of energy, which means lesser fossil fuels will be burned lessening the pollution in our air.
PREVENTION
c. Battling Bottles
We use plastic bottles for our convenience in expense of leading our environment to
destruction. In our annual conferences one of the major portion of our waste are plastic bottles. It is
very timely that we try to avoid the use of plastic bottles. In cases that we are to use plastic bottles we
make sure that it finds its way to the recycling centers.
d. StyroTyping
Fast-food chains that provide our food in our conferences and big gatherings have been a usual
scene. Most of the food packaging is made of styro. Aside from plastic bottles styro comprises a major
portion of waste in our gatherings. Being a non biodegradable material makes styro a threat to our
environment. It is about time we stereotyped styro as harmful to our environment thus we avoid the
use of it.
e. Dont LITTER be LITERATE
In our gatherings we usually generate a significant volume of waste. If not managed properly it
becomes litter. In gatherings like PYC, RYC, and ILC, it has been a usual scene to see a lot of litter in the
conference site despite the presence of garbage bags all over the area. We should not litter if we are
literate enough to know the difference between waste and litter. We make sure waste is in its rightful
place.
f.
SegWay
Generating a large volume of waste entails a big responsibility of properly disposing it. One way
of disposing garbage that greatly helps in solving problems of the lack of landfills to accommodate all
rubbishes is segregation. Segregating waste is not just of environmental importance, but of economic
concern too. In every gathering may it be small or big group, we should practice segregating our waste
as one of our ways in taking care of the environment.
CULTIVATION
g. erecTREEcity
In an age where technological advancement is highly valued we sometimes reduce the value of trees in
to a raw material that we are free to abuse. We replace forest trees with subdivisions or business
establishments. In exchange for industrialization we sacrifice our environment. The call to plant trees
has always been there for its effect in the balance of ecology is very significant. Erecting tree cities to
once again give power and life to our now ailing planet is a must.
Becoming responsible stewards of Earth is an equally important component of our being
good Christians, in the same way as loving our brothers and sisters, reading Scripture, or receiving
the Holy Sacraments are. Participating and advocating for the YFC Greeneration campaign is not
only important in becoming a good Christian, but is a must.
126
Activity 2
1. Group the participants in given of three (3) to four (4) people. As much as possible, the
members of each group should come from separate sectors. Each group will be given a
flipchart/large pad of paper and pen for their discussion, which will then be collected at the end
of the workshop.
2. Each group shall be asked to come up with what they think is a creative event for each of the
following:
1. ANCOP
2. Greeneration
3. 100% Free
4. Other social advocacies
3. The moderator will assign a main advocacy (from the list above) for each group. The groups will
then focus on planning for their chosen event for said advocacy. This will include:
a. Name of the event
b. Beneficiary
c. Target Participants
d. Objective/Desired Output
e. Dynamics (what will be included in the event i.e. will there be a presentation, freebies, etc.)
f. Ideas/Anticipated needs of the event (admin, logistics, finance, marketing, program etc.)
4. After the workshop session, each group shall present to the plenary the results of their
discussion, as if proposing to their own Campus EXECOMS the socio-political events that they
would like to hold in their areas.
5. The rest of the plenary will be given the chance to air their comments as well as any new
ideas/suggestions arising from the presentations, at the end of each event proposal.
Evaluation/Processing
The moderator should provide a brief yet concise synopsis of the results presented, highlighting
any topics which were particularly dominant during the discussion and presentation. The workshop
should be ended with a reinforcement of how each individual is being called by God to do their part for
society.
The moderator may choose to share The Starfish Story or any similar short reading to
emphasize the difference even a single person can make in this world
The Starfish Story

Guest Author - Deanna Joseph
adapted from The Star Thrower
by Loren Eiseley
1907 - 1977
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit
of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving
like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he
walked faster to catch up.
127
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was
not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and
throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise
man.
To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll
die."
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles
and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met
the water, he said, "I made a difference to that one!"
Few stories have gained internet popularity the way "The Star Thrower" has. Most often it's sighted as
"author unknown," but it is actually a classic from 1979 written by Loren Eiseley, who has been hailed as
a modern day Henry David Thoreau.
Loren Eiseley was both a scientist and a poet, and to this day his writing is the subject of much discussion
and inspiration. In this story he is the "wise man" touched by the innocence and determination of
another soul.
"The Star Thrower" is a classic story of the power within each one of us to make a difference in the lives
of others. And though it has appeared in many forms (sometimes it's a native american man who is
throwing the starfish into the sea, sometimes it's a grandfather, or a young girl or boy) it is none the less
a powerful reminder that we should be here for each other, and to seek to help, even in small ways,
whenever we can.
In such turbulent times as these, when we may feel alone and small and unable to make any lasting
changes we may find ourselves asking "What can I do that will make a difference?" or "What can one
small person like me do?"
In reality we don't have to be rich, talented or even particularly intelligent to make a difference in the life
of another. We just need to remember that we ARE here for a purpose, and that making small changes in
the world eventually add up to something bigger in the life of another.
When we become throwers of the stars, we too, have the power to change the world

FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP
A workshop for Campus VPs for Finance
RATIONALE:
The VPs for Finance in each campus manage and disburse all funds of the local YFC group. It is
their job to ensure that there is sufficient funding for the YFC activities throughout the year, as well as
an initial operating fund for the following school year and incoming YFC group in their campus. Beyond
raising funds and accurate bookkeeping, VPs for Finance should elevate the level of financial
stewardship in their campuses and assist the group in ensuring that their economic gifts are used in such
a way that truly glorifies the Lord through the campus-based YFCs.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To understand the importance of financial stewardship, both in their personal lives and in their
role as VPs for Finance and Marketing.
2. To be equipped with basic skills in budgeting and accounting
3. To come up with ideas and concepts for concrete fund raising and marketing plans for YFC in
their campuses.
DYNAMICS:
1. The workshop consists of an interactive discussion on financial stewardship, followed by a short
lecture on budgeting and accounting for YFC events.
2. OPENING ACTIVITY: Bid Wars
(goal of the game main lesson it wants to impart)
a.The workshop may begin with a bidding war in which the moderator distributes various
sums of play money to 3 groups of people.
b. Each group will draw lots to see who will be the first, second, and last to bid. This cycle
continues until there are no more items to bid upon, or the groups have used up all their
play money
c..Each group will select an official representative to place the bid by raising his/her hand
and shouting the amount they are willing to give in exchange for the item on deck, but the
group must decide as one as to which items to bid on and for how much.
d. The moderator will start the bidding with an item of relatively small value, eventually
moving to larger items and occasionally throwing the groups off by inserting secret
items which could either be of high or low value.
e. Sample order of items:
Ballpen
Ream of bond paper
Masking tape
Mobile Prepaid load
Secret item: Campus Manual
Songbook
Guitar
Secret item: pencil and sharpener
Voucher for one free registration to the ILC
129
f.
At the end of the bidding war, the groups can evaluate which of them got the best deal
and made the most of the amount they were given. They can also assess which groups
were more willing to take risks on secret items, and which risks paid off or not.
3. Discussion proper
4. After the discussion, the participants will be divided into groups to accomplish the activity.
5. The workshop will end with the group presentation of results from the activity followed by a
synthesis of insights.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
1. Play money and various items for sale
2. Visual aids for all discussions
3. Worksheets on Budgeting and Accounting
4. Whiteboard and markers
5. Flipchart/large pad of paper and pen for every breakout group
TALK OUTLINE
I. Introduction
Emphasize the worth of the items bid uponis it an asset or liability, as well as the challenges
encountered by the groups because of difference in priorities, as well as difference in the amount of
money they received. Knowledge on Financial Stewardship is thus important to ensure that we make
the most use out of what God has given us.
II. Main Points

Financial stewardship
According to Barrero, Canales, and Mason (2009), financial stewardship is the administrative
skills relating to money management, fiscal responsibility, finances, income, savings, credit/debt, and
property (Keeping the Cup Full: Financial Stewardship for Teens and Young Adults, p. 27). Financial
stewardship implies taking responsibility for the fiduciary or treasure part of your life and using the
money that God has given you to prudently and wisely (see Parable of the Talents; Matthew 25:14-28).
Five components:
1. Distinguishing between needs and wants Do I need a new mobile phone?
2. Concerned with savings at all levels, but particularly savings that undermines unnecessary
spending Do I spend on additional gear for my camera which I dont really need that much or
should I save for the expenses I will incur for my thesis next semester?
3. Recognizing and learning the difference between assets and liabilities in order to become
financially responsible Do I buy an X-Box which will also cost me money for electricity and
additional games, or should I buy a laptop which will help me in my studies instead?
130
4. Living a life of charity, which is far more than merely giving donations to charitable causes and
organizations Do I give only when I have excess money to spare and after I have bought even
the unnecessary wants, or should I make it a point to allot a certain amount of my allowances to
help my church and those who are in need?
5. Living a life of frugality, which is the reduction of waste, curbing costly habits, suppressing
instant gratification by means of fiscal self-restraint Do I spend my money on things that do not
last or that I get tired of easily or can I control my fleeting material desires?
*May discuss with the participants regarding their financial habits (personal and those experienced in
YFC activities)
*Sample activity: Youth Camp
A. Budgeting and Accounting for YFC Activities
1. setting realistic expectations
(expected working budget = 20 participants and service team @ Php 300/head = Php 6,000)
2. working within or under ones budget
3. anticipating and accounting for all needs
(logistics, food, kits, etc.)
4. canvassing for the best deals
(looking at as many possible venues, checking the availability of discounts, etc.)
5. maximizing available resources and purchasing only as a final resort
(borrowing necessary props or equipment as opposed to purchasing or renting)
6. keeping receipts and reimbursement forms
7. accurate and up-to-date bookkeeping
(matching credit with debit)
B. Marketing
1. determining what appeals to the target audience
(determine personalities in the campus, target specific groups i.e. dance camp)
2. maximizing the different media for gathering hype and disseminating information
(social networking sites, bulletin boards, room-to-room invitations, etc.)
3. importance of networking at the top as well as grassroots level
4. coming up with innovative marketing risks
(assign a mascot to promote the youth camp, etc.)
5. staying true to the core of YFC
(not sacrificing the values of YFC in spite of the challenges it may pose in marketing)
C. Fundraising
1. foreseeing the needs of the campus early during the school year
(must be aware of regular activities i.e. youth camps, campus tour, etc., as well as other possible
events or projects)
2. determining what appeals to the target sponsors
(target companies or brands that are interested in promoting themselves to college students)
3. ensuring a win-win opportunity for both the sponsors and beneficiaries
(dont sell the event short, but also ensure that the sponsors will be treated fairly)
4. developing a professional attitude in communicating with others
131
(business letter-writing in formal or dignified informal writing style, proper grammar, etc.)
III. Activity
1. Group the participants in groups of three (3) to four (4) people. As much as possible, the
members of each group should come from separate sectors. Each group will be given a
flipchart/large pad of paper and pen for their discussion, which will then be collected at the end
of the workshop.
2. Each group shall be asked to draw lots and come up with a marketing plan and budget plan for
one of the following YFC activities:
a. Prayer Meeting

fun run, etc.)
4. After the workshop session, each group shall present to the plenary the results of their
discussion (B & C), as if presenting a project proposal to their own Campus EXECOMS.
5. The rest of the plenary will be given the chance to air their comments as well as any new
ideas/suggestions arising from the presentations, at the end of each group proposal.
IV. Evaluation/Processing
The moderator should provide a brief yet concise synopsis of the results presented, highlighting
any topics which were particularly dominant during the discussion and presentation. The workshop
should be ended with a reminder of the limitless possibilities that Gods grace offers us.

ARCHIVING WORKSHOP
VP for Documentation Workshop
RATIONALE
Having records of the past would be beneficial for the future generations because it could serve
as a resource material and a guide to them. It also helps ensure that the legacy of the past generations
would be preserved which later could serve as a source of inspiration for those who are next in line.
Having a good archiving can be beneficial in keeping in track of the growth of a campus and its
members.
OBJECTIVES
1. To understand the importance of archiving as part of the operations in YFC Campus Based and in
the bigger mission of YFC
2. To be able to identify the basic records and documents that they should have and keep for their
campus.

4. Open Forum
TALK OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual
or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of an organization. The process of keeping
the documents in an organized and systematized manner is called archiving.
133
Importance of Archiving
It is important to manage documents and to maintain an archive to improve the quality of our
ministerial work, especially in actions which require data retrieval. Archiving is also essential in
preserving the communitys heritage and helping it account for its activities. Proper data management
and archiving also reflects the progress of a given activity from beginning to end and ensures continuity
of the work in the event of changes in leadership.
What to Archive
Any document that reflects the work of the community should be archived, especially if it meets one
or more of the following criteria.
was received or formally drawn up in the course of its activities (e.g. memos, official
communication letter, minutes of the meeting)
Manuals (e.g. Youth camp, EXERT, Campus Tour)
involves the responsibility of the YFC as an organization within the campus (e.g. attendance,
monitoring sheet, activity report, financial statements)
has significant value in the history of your respective campuses (e.g. certificate of recognition,
awards received, database of members)
How to Archive
1. Gather all hard/paper files and portable storage devices (CDs, tapes, etc.)
2. Sort according to categories
3. Scan/Prepare Back-up electronic files
4. Check if all important files have been scanned/saved
5. Keep important hard files (i.e. School recognition, certificates, communication from campus
administrator, receipts), as well as Plaques, videotapes, etc.
ACTIVITY: iARCHIVE
a. The participants will be given a box filled with different documents of all kinds, included
are some unnecessary files.
i. NOTE: The speaker should have an idea as to the content of all these documents, since questions
are to come from there.
b. They will be asked a particular question pertaining to a specific activitys preparation. To

be able to answer the question they need to find the right document that could help
them answer the question. They need to be able to answer in less than two (2) minutes.
c. For the second time they will be asked once again anything about the details that could
be found in the documents they are holding. However, before they are asked to answer
the question, they will be asked to try organizing the documents first. They are given
five (5) minutes to organize.
d. They need to answer the question in less than two (2) minutes individually.
CONCLUSION
The Lord has been faithful to us throughout the years. He has blessed us with a lot of things. To take
note of all those things is vital in taking care of all the gifts He has given to us. We are challenged to do
better each year and having a basis would be beneficial in doing so because we can learn from past
experiences especially if it is well documented. We dont just take note of the activities and
134
accomplishment of our campus, we take note of how the Lord reveal Himself in our campuses and so we
need to be diligent in taking into account all of His works in our campuses.
135
YFC CAMPUS ELECTORAL PROCEDURES

Lord, you know everyones heart. Show us which of these you have chosen to
take over this apostolic ministry.

Acts 1:24
136
APPENDIX 8
ELECTORAL PROCEDURE
RATIONALE
The leadership of YFC Campus Based is composed of a) the Campus Core (President, Senior
Sister, and EVP), b) the Executive Committee (EXECOM) is composed of all Vice-Presidents and Assistant
Vice-Presidents, and the c) household heads. The YFC Campus groups find it necessary to have a set of
officers in order to help the institution (both the administration and the student body) understand the
YFC structure by providing offices and titles that follow campus organizational language (e.g. President,
Executive Vice President, Vice President for Finance etc)
There are two basic reasons for institutionalizing the process of choosing a new set of officers in a
Campus:
1. A campus officer only has one (1) year to serve in the position he/she is in. For this reason,
there is a need for a Campus Election to ensure smooth succession of leaders for continuity
of the vision and mission of YFC Campus Based program.
2. We believe that it is God who empowers the constituents to lead through His anointing
thus we allow the members to pray and discern well for their future leaders.
Unlike other secular and government elections, the YFC Campus Election provides a venue for
the leaders and members to grow in their prayer life as they learn to discern for the next leaders in their
Campus. This also guides the members to have complete trust and confidence in their leaders when
elected. Through proper prayer and discernment in the election process, the members learn to honor
the anointing of their leaders.
DEFINITION OF TERMS

APPOINTED
139
ELECTION PROCEDURES FOR CHAPTER LEVEL CAMPUSES

1. Election for these campuses will be for the EXECOM and Executive Vice President (EVP)
positions.
2. For Co-ed schools, the offices of the President, Executive Vice President and EXECOM Vice
Presidents shall only be filled in by brothers. The offices of the Senior Sister and EXECOM
Assistant Vice Presidents shall only be filled in by sisters. For All girls schools, all positions can
be filled in by sisters. For all boys schools, all positions can be filled in by brothers except there
will be no senior sister position.
3. The current EVP automatically becomes President for the following school year. As such there
are no elections for President.
Exceptions:
In cases where before the election, the EVP signifies he is incapable to serve as the next
President for the following year(e.g. transfer of school), the current President may be
retained as long as he/she will still be studying in the next school year/term.
If the current President is also incapable (e.g. graduating), a snap election for the office of the
President will be conducted before the election of the EVP and EXECOM. (see Appendix C for
Snap Election Guidelines)
4. In another case where the President and/or the elected EVP is incapable of continuing his
service in the current position, for reasons such as, transfer of school or health problems, an
emergency election will be conducted for that position, following the same procedure as that of
a regular Campus Election.
5. The current EXECOM members who are qualified to be candidates, but for some reason cannot
take on the responsibility as an EVP or EXECOM, should submit a letter to the head of the
COMELEC explaining why he/she cannot be an officer the following year. This letter should be
submitted no later than 5 weeks before Election Day to prevent any hindrance to the electoral
procedure.
6. The Senior Sister position will be appointed through proper discernment of the current Senior
Sister. There will be no elections for this position because her role in the campus is purely
pastoral. The succeeding Senior Sister must be from the current Assistant Vice President (AVP)
positions of the EXECOM. If in case all the current AVPs are graduating or will not be able to
serve in the next school year or term, the current Senior Sister must choose from any of the
household heads.
140
7. Vice-Presidents in the EXECOM who will not be graduating in the next school year/term will are
automatic candidates for the EVP position.
8. There shall be no campaigning of any sort apart from the Election Candidates Information
Summary Sheet to be distributed by the COMELEC to the electorate. This is because YFC
believes in the gift of discernment that is in every member of the organization. There is also the
possibility that campaigning can lead to conflicts between candidates. Competition and selfpromotion must be avoided.
9. All members of the electorate are required to attend and listen to the Election talks which will
be given during the Election Day.
10. At least four (4) weeks before the Election Day, the COMELEC Chairman will meet with the EVP,
Senior Sister, EXECOM and Household Heads to nominate all qualified candidates for EXECOM

approved by the Campus Moderator and Campus Program Volunteer.
Note:
Household Heads and Members can be nominated for EXECOM positions.
As each voter submits his/her ballot, the COMELEC immediately tallies it in a confidential
tally sheet. This tally sheet may, from time to time, be checked by the Campus
Moderator, Program Volunteer and the Campus Couple Coordinator. Once the last ballot
is in, the COMELEC should double-check the tally. The Program Volunteer and Campus
Moderator will audit the tally of the COMELEC. After the tally, the COMELEC will then
turn the results over to both the outgoing President and Program Volunteer (each of
them will be given a copy of the results).
Announcement of the new set of officers will be done in the Induction Party.
11. In the Election ballot counting, in the event that two or more candidates have the same highest
number of votes, hence a tie or multi-way tie, these candidates will each be given a chance to
share to the electorate their conviction and dreams for the campus (3-5 minutes each). This is
done at the Election venue. After listening to the candidates sharings, the electorate will be
given a chance to vote again.
12. If in case, after the second voting is done and there is still no winning candidate, discretion will
be given to the Campus Moderator, together with the Campus Program Volunteer, outgoing
President and Senior Sister as to who will hold the position.
13. Announcement and presentation of the new EVP and the new set of EXECOM will be done on
the Induction Party.

ELECTION PROCEDURES FOR FULL BLOWN CAMPUSES

FULL-BLOWN campuses are Campuses that are big enough to have Presidents and Senior Sisters in the different
colleges. For a campus to follow this type of Election Procedure they must have more than ten (10) colleges with
Presidents and Senior Sisters, if not, they must use the Chapter Level Election Procedure. This is because Full-Blown
Campuses are also Cluster Level Campuses with College Presidents and College Senior Sisters as Household Heads.
1. Election for the Full Blown campuses will be for the EXECOM and Executive Vice President (EVP)
positions.
146
Exceptions:
In another case where the President and/or the elected EVP is incapable of continuing his
emergency election will be conducted for that position, following the same procedure as that
of a regular Campus Election.
procedure.
household heads.
7. The College President and College Senior Sister positions will also be appointed through proper
discernment of the current College President and College Senior Sister. If no successor has been
tapped before the end of the term, it is the discretion of the EVP and President as to who will
hold the position in the next school year/term. There will be no election for these positions
because their role in the college is also purely pastoral. Both the College President and College
Senior Sisters act as Household Heads in their own college.
147
10. At least four (4) weeks before the Election Day, the COMELEC Chairman will set a meeting with
the EVP, Senior Sister, EXECOM, College Presidents and College Senior Sisters to nominate
candidates for the EXECOM positions from the College Presidents and Senior Sisters. All
nominated candidates for EXECOM will be reviewed and approved by the Campus Moderator
and Campus Program Volunteer.

INDUCTION PARTY
The last task of the COMELEC is to organize an induction party in order to present to the whole Campus
its new set of officers. The format and theme of the party is the discretion of the COMELEC, with the
approval of the Campus Moderator, as long as there is a 30 minute portion where the new set of
officers can be presented, inducted and anointed (prayed over).
Induction Ceremony Sequence
1. The present President gives a short exhortation on servant-hood, explaining that in YFC, leadership
is not ruling but serving and caring for Gods people.
2. Induction: Washing of the Feet Ceremony
After the out-going Presidents explanation of servant-hood, he will then call on stage the new
set of officers starting from the EXECOM to the President. As each person is called, the outgoing
officer will share a short honoring for the newly elected officer that will succeed him/her.
Before the ceremony a pre-selected group of preferably new members are asked to sit in front
one for every new officer. Each new officer stands behind.
The Gospel narrating the time Jesus washed His disciples feet is read.
After the Gospel narration, each member of incoming EXECOM washes the feet of the person in
front of him. Each EXECOM member should say a prayer of commitment to the Lord and for the
group as he / she washes the feet of the person assigned to him / her.
3. Once all the new EXECOM members have expressed their commitment to serve through the
washing of the feet, the outgoing president leads the whole campus in praying over the new Core
Group and EXECOM.
4. After the pray-over, the incoming President may give an exhortation / response on behalf of the
new EXECOM that leads to a Praisefest.

THE ELECTION REMINDERS

(To be given along with the Election Candidates Information Summary Sheet and the Election schedule
and venue information)
1. Read and review the Election Candidates Information Summary Sheet well so you will be guided in
choosing whom to vote. Do not base your vote SOLELY on the candidates titles and achievements in
this sheet.
2. Choose someone who can Lead, Guide and be a Witness; someone with a good relationship with
Jesus.
3. Set aside a special time to pray for the elections every day. You may add a few extra minutes to
your prayer time. Pray for at least one week before the elections.
4. Make a decision only on the day of the elections.
5. Choose the person whom you believe in your heart that God is choosing to lead the group. Our
prayer (Acts 1:24): Lord, you know everyones heart. Show us which of these you have chosen to
take over this apostolic ministry.
6. No campaigning for a candidate. You can have open discussions about the candidates, but you
cannot reveal whom you will choose (because that is equivalent to endorsing a particular
candidate).

THE COMMITMENT
st
1 Session of the Campus Election

OBJECTIVES
1. To have the electorate realize the importance of being committed to the Vision of Couples for
Christ.
2. To have the electorate realize that through commitment can we truly move forward in the
mission.
SPEAKERS PROFILE
1. A Campus Program Volunteer (CPV), Mission Volunteer or Fulltime Pastoral Worker.
2. An EXECOM Vice-President who is a good advocate of commitment in his service.
DYNAMICS
1. Opening AVP Presentation. This is optional; if the COMELEC can make a video that depicts
scenes of individuals showing great commitment.
2. Talk Proper.
3. Sharing
4. Reflection.
TALK OUTLINE:
I. The Vision
CFC VISION: Families in the Holy Spirit renewing the face of the earth.
YFC has a very ambitious goal. Together with the rest of the CFC Community, it plans to change
the world! Imagine this no more wars, no more crime, no more indifference! It will all be replaced by
love. It will do this by introducing everybody to Jesus Christ. It plans to conquer the world.
However, to conquer the world, it needs committed soldiers. What does commitment mean?
II. Three Stories to Help Explain Commitment
A. Involvement vs. commitment the Continental Breakfast.
A continental breakfast is made up of bacon and eggs. Two animals are needed to
create it a chicken and a pig. A chicken is involved in making the continental breakfast. A pig is
committed. The chicken offers its egg while the pig offers its entire self.
To be truly committed, our call is to be just like the pig; to give our all and to offer
everything to God. Commitment is giving our whole lives, heart and mind, to the mission.
B. Perseverance Burn your boats.
In 1519, the conquistador Hernando Cortes set sail for the Americas with 600 Spanish
soldier. He landed on the east coast of Mexico, the land of the Aztecs. His men heard stories of
3
ferocious Indians and asked him to turn back. Instead, he ordered all their ships burned. Left with
no means to retreat, his men were forced to conquer, and conquer they did. Hernando Cortes came
to be known in history as the greatest conquistador of the Americas.
When we commit, we dont play safe. We dont think, Ill only stay here while its
comfortable, but Ill get out when its not. You jump in and fight for the mission until it is achieved,
whether its fun or not. Commitment is accepting how difficult it may get but still saying yes to the
Lord without always looking back.
C. Commitment encourages others to be committed The Civil War Story
During the American Civil War, the Union army was pinned in a town by Confederate
artillery positioned on an overlooking hill. The officers of this Union army decided to send a unit to
make a diversionary charge up the hill while the rest of the army would escape. The unit was bound
to be completely destroyed it was a suicide mission. In the middle of the diversionary attack, one
man in the unit decided, If Im going to die, I might as well make this a real attack. He charged up
the hill for real. The other men in his unit saw him and were encouraged by his act, so they charged
up the hill, too. The Confederate forces were weaker than they thought, and upon seeing the
charge, thought it was a full-scale attack. The Confederate forces retreated, and the diversionary
unit took the hill.
To be committed is to know that you are not alone in this mission and that you have
others with you. Our commitment must be an example for others to follow, so that they too will be
committed. Our commitment must bring out the commitment of others.
III. Commitment at its fullness.
A. Commitment means truly pursuing the mission and vision of YFC. Here are some examples of
commitment:
1. If you are an officer of another organization, does that mean you have to quit being active in
YFC? No, on the condition that you can justify that you are pursuing the mission and vision by
being an officer in that organization. Are you introducing Jesus to the people you come in
contact with in your organization? Are you being a good example?
2. Being committed is letting the officers of YFC know what kind of work you are good at so they
know where best to assign you.
3. Being committed is to be able to do work assigned to you even if youre not in the mood to do
it.
4. Being committed is working and bonding with your brothers and sisters whether you get along
with them or not.
5. If you are a household leader, being committed means loving your members whether you get
along with them or not, and being faithful to conduct your household meetings twice a month.
6. Also, if you are a household leader, it means being willing to be a candidate for elected office.
B. Attitudes of a committed person:
1. I will not wait for things to happen. I will make things happen.
2. I will not wait for the work to be exciting. I will make it exciting.
3. I will not wait for somebody to tell me what to do but I will seek what I can do.
4. I do not have to know everything to be effective. I can learn as I go along.
4
5. I do not have to like the people I work with but I can love them nevertheless.
IV. Our response today

Today, we will choose the leaders of this army, this chapter. We believe that if you choose a set
of leaders, you must be willing to bleed with them. If you want the privilege of voting for next years
EXECOM, you must promise to be willing to fight by their side.
V. Sharing and Reflection

After the talk, one or two pre-selected sharers will be asked to share how they experienced
commitment. Afterwards, volunteers from the audience may also be allowed to share.
After, participants in the election will be given time to reflect on their commitment to the Lord
and the Campus Chapter and if they are ready and willing to be committed and support whomever the
Lord chooses to lead the group, whether its the person they vote or not.
Reflection Songs may be sung during the reflection.

TALK OUTLINE:
I.
INTRODUCTION
Acts 1:15-26 The Choice of Successors

In the past, YFC leaders were chosen by the discernment of the full-time workers or couple coordinators
in- charge of the YFC group. Now, though still practiced, this tradition has proven to be inefficient
because of how YFC has rapidly grown, in parishes and in the campuses.
Every school year we see the need to choose leaders from among us to be witnesses of the Lords
goodness. Just like the apostles, we are called to take on the responsibility of ensuring the continuation
of the mission in our campus. Thus the responsibility of choosing the right leaders to continue leading us
towards the vision is put in our hands.
II.
How Do We Choose?
a. Three criteria:
Someone who can LEAD, someone who can GUIDE, someone who can WITNESS.
1. Lead with Leadership skills. Someone who can bring people together to accomplish work. Can
motivate, can organize.
2. Guide has a pastoral mind and heart. Knows how to take care of people. Knows how to love.
3. Witness can lead people to Jesus, largely by example.
Although LEADING, GUIDING and WITNESSING is important in a leader, we must also NOT overlook the
candidates academic standing, and the candidates over-all character in the school. Though this can be
also regarded as witnessing, this shows the candidates reputation with the administration and faculty in
the school, to other organizations and to the campus in general. Does the candidate have good rapport
with the administration or other organizations he/she is in? Does the faculty see the candidate as
academically sound? Is the candidate consistently excellent with his/her academics?
III. The Anointing of David

1 Samuel 16:1-13
The Lord said to Samuel: How long will you grieve for Saul, whom I have rejected as king of Israel? Fill
your horn with oil, and be on your way. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have chosen my
king from among his sons I myself will tell you what to do; you are to anoint for me the one I point out
to you.
Samuel did as the Lord commanded As they came, he looked at Eliab and thought, Surely the Lords
anointed is here before him. But the Lord said to Samuel: Do not judge from his appearance or from
his lofty stature, because I have rejected him. Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the
appearance but the Lord sees the heart. Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him before Samuel,
who said, The Lord has not chosen him. Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, The Lord
has not chosen this one either. In the same way Jesse presented seven sons before Samuel, but
Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not chosen any one of these.
Then Samuel asked Jesse, Are these all the sons you have? Jesse replied, There is still the
youngest, who is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for him; we will not begin the
sacrificial banquet until he arrives here. Jesse sent and had the young man brought to them. He was
ruddy, a youth handsome to behold and making a splendid appearance. The Lord said, There anoint
him, for this is he!
Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand, anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and from
that day on, the spirit of the Lord rushed upon David.
God does not judge the way man does. In choosing our leaders, we may have our own wants bu
knowing what God wants is best for us. Just like Samuel, let us constantly pray to God so that He may
speak to us and guide us to choose the leaders that He wants for us.
IV. Conclusion
As Jesus modern day disciples, let us all learn from His disciples long ago and pray the same prayer that
they used long ago: Lord, you know everyones heart. Show us which of these you have chosen to take
over this apostolic ministry.

V. Reflection and Elections

After the talk, participants are given time to pray and ask to Lord to affirm or correct their
decisions on whom to vote into office. The Music ministry will be playing songs of reflections until the
end of the voting process.

Christ (YFC), and will often have its own activities as a campus considering the schedules, needs
and character of the Institution and its students.
ARTICLE II: Declaration of Vision and Mission

Sec. 1
MISSION AND VISION

The Mission and Vision of CFC Youth for Christ _________ Campus is based on the words of
scripture, to "Unite all things in Christ" (Eph. 1:10). It is a response to the call of our Church
leadership and our society to proclaim Christ to all men.
The Vision is A Renewed and United Society in Christ through the Campuses.
Driven by the Holy Spirit, transformed by the love of Christ, and one with the Catholic Church,
YFC Campus-Based Program is a youth ministry of Couples for Christ that renews the society by
raising servant leaders grounded on Christian values and witnessing God through the campuses.
The Mission is Empowering Gods Witnesses in the Campuses that will transform the Society
We are YFC Campus Based. We are committed to live in Gods righteousness and holiness,
evangelizing university students through a life of love and service; we shall work for the renewal
of the youth that will embrace God and His commission, build generations of Christian leaders,
in the pursuit of making our studies relevant to our commitment to the society and to God.
Sec. 2
OBJECTIVES
2.1 To provide a healthy and Catholic Christian support environment for its members in the
Campus. (E.g. Through prayer meetings, teachings, peer counseling etc.)
2.2 To help establish a foundation based on Christian values and principles on its members and
students, in general to prepare them for the challenges they will be facing in their professional
career and life in general during and after they leave the campus. (E.g. through "Career
Direction Seminars" by connecting them to Singles for Christ).
2.3 To evangelize and re - evangelize students by providing avenues where Christ and His gospel
can be proclaimed.
2.4 To be of service to the Church and the educational institution that I am in by supporting and
participating in its endeavors.
Sec. 3
PHILOSOPHY
We in CFC Youth for Christ believe,
3.1 That God is calling everyone to a personal relationship with Him through His Son Jesus
Christ,
3.2 That this call is not exclusive, but is shared with all sectors of society, regardless of age,
color, nationality, status and beliefs in life;
3.3 That the youth have a very special place in God's heart, and that they in return could
cultivate a very deep sense of love of God, and that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is
something that they truly desire,
3.4 That the youth have a vibrant, energetic, dynamic and free-spirited nature rather than
denying this nature and forcing the youth into a mold that satisfies our own perception of
Christianity and holiness. We accept their nature, not curtailing it, but re-channeling it into an
active expression of submission to and participation in Gods call to evangelization,
3.5 That the youth who detached themselves from God have not done so because of their own
liking or plan, but also because of societal deficiencies in family life, education and government
structures;
3.6 That the youth are full of ideas and are blessed by the Lord with talents, that the youth are
in need of friends and role models, and therefore should be given the opportunity to develop
these skills and relationships in a healthy Catholic Christian environment.
10
3.7 That the youth realizes the need to make decisions in life but they should also know that as
they do so, God should always be an inseparable part of these decisions knowing also that they
are future leaders of families and societies; we realize that their future depends on how they are
molded today as God's children;
3.8 That the youth can be responsible as long as they are aptly guided, taken care of and loved.
3.9 That the youth grows, not only from what they receive, but more through with what they
are able to share with others,
3.10 That the youth are at the forefront of a spiritual battle and that the evil one knows just as
much; that evil intends to deceive, confuse, mislead, and even initiate the youth into his evil
plans which comes in the form of day to day experiences in family life, school, society,
relationships, values and practices, music, language and ideals;
3.11 But we also believe that as the plan of God unfolds for the youth, there is nothing and no
one that can separate us from His love in Christ Jesus (as said in Holy Scriptures in Romans 8:3839). His love is our source of wisdom and His life becomes our model in helping build this
present and future life for the youth.
3.12 Our Philosophy is a statement of victory for Christ's youth. It is a declaration of active
submission to the will of God - primarily believing that the true purpose in life is to serve God
above all things.

ARTICLE VI: YFC Campus Based Electoral Procedure and Guideline

Lord, you know everyones heart. Show us which of these you have chosen to take over this apostolic
ministry. Acts 1:24
THE CAMPUS-BASED ELECTORAL PROCEDURE
The number of households determine the level of the campus. Secondly, the growth level of the campus
determines the electoral procedure to follow. Hence, not all YFC campus groups can practice the
electoral procedure. Only Campuses with established chapters and clusters are eligible to have
elections. It is important to determine your campus growth level. (For more information, refer to the
YFC Campus Based Program Manual to determine the campus growth level.)
The following procedures are for the YFC Campus Groups eligible for elections (Chapter and Cluster
Level).
Sec.1 DEFINITIONS
THE ELECTORATE. The electorate refers to the group of people who are entitled to vote. The
people involved in the electorate vary depending on the Level of Growth the Campus is in. (Eg.
Household Heads, Chapter Heads etc.) Members who are part of the electorate must be active
members who are regularly attending Households and Prayer Meetings.
THE CANDIDATES. These are members or current leaders of the organization who are qualified
to hold specific positions in their Campus in the coming year. Their eligibility to run for a position
depends on their pastoral growth and their growth as a leader.
THE EXECOM ELECT. The EXECOM Elect refers to the winning candidates of any position.
THE COMELEC. The Commission on Elections will be an ad hoc office created by and placed
under the VP for Documentation.
ELECTION DAY. Elections must be held before the last month of the present school year.
ELECTION VENUE. The venue for the election must be formal in setting and big enough to
accommodate the entire electorate body. It is advisable for the campus to conduct the election
in a classroom or school function room or convention room.
TERM OF OFFICE
Refers to the length of time the EXECOM-elect serves in a particular position of office.
Sec.2 RATIONALE
A YFC Campus group has a set of officers or EXECOM apart from its core group (its Household
Heads up). YFC Campus groups find it necessary to have a set of officers in order to help the
Campus institution (both the administration and the student body) understand the YFC structure
by providing offices and titles that follow campus language (e.g. President, Executive Vice
President, Vice President for Finance etc)
21
Comment [C5]: What does this mean? Growth

Level or LEVEL only.or STATUS,
There are two basic reasons for institutionalizing the process of choosing a new set of officers in
a Campus:
1. A campus officer only has one year to serve in the position he/she is in. For this
reason, there is a need for a Campus Election to ensure smooth succession of
leaders for continuity of vision and mission of YFC Campus Based program.
2. We believe that it is God who empowers the constituents to lead through His
anointing thus we allow the members to pray and discern well for their future
leaders.
Unlike secular or public elections, the YFC Campus Election provides a venue for the leaders and
members to grow in their prayer life as they learn to discern for the next leaders in their
Campus. As there is no campaigning, this also guides the members to have complete trust and
confidence in their leaders when elected. Through proper prayer and discernment in the
election process, the members learn to honor the anointing of their leaders.
Sec.3 COMELEC GUIDELINES

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) plays a very vital role in the Campus Election. They are
an ad hoc office created by the Vice President for Documentation.
1. The Campus Moderator and Campus Program Volunteer will serve as overseers of the
COMELEC.
2. The outgoing President will automatically become the COMELEC Chairman of the Election.
This will be the last responsibility of the President before the end of the school year/term.
3. For Chapter and Cluster Level Campuses, the Chapter Heads must recommend two (2)
persons from their Chapter to be members of the COMELEC Roster. They must preferably be
graduating students. Non-graduating students may be assigned if there are not enough
graduating students in the Chapter.
4. For Full-Blown Campuses, the College Presidents and Senior Sisters must recommend one
(1) person from their college to be a college representative and member of the COMELEC.
They must preferably be graduating students. Non-graduating students may be assigned if
there are no graduating students in the college.
5. The COMELEC Chairman must submit the recommended COMELEC roster to the Campus
Moderator and Campus Program Volunteer at least 8 weeks before Election Day. (see Time
Frame)
6. The COMELEC becomes officially active at least 6 weeks before Election Day.
7. The COMELEC Chairman must hold regular meetings with the COMELEC.
8. Members of the COMELEC are not qualified to vote as they have the privilege to see the
details and results of the election first hand.
Sec.5 ELECTION PROCEDURES ACCORDING TO CAMPUS LEVEL OF GROWTH
22
5.1 HOUSEHOLD LEVEL CAMPUSES

a. There will be no election for household level campuses.
b. The President and Senior Sister will be appointed by the Campus Program Volunteer
and/or Fulltime Pastoral Worker through proper discernment.
c. As the campus grows into a Chapter level campus, the President and Senior Sister,
together with the Campus Program Volunteer will need to discern and appoint an EVP
and EXECOM before the end of the school year/term.
d. The newly appointed President and Senior Sister are required to attend the
Campus Summit that is usually conducted before the start of the new school
year or term.
5.2 CHAPTER LEVEL CAMPUSES
a. Election for these campuses will be for the EXECOM and Executive Vice President (EVP)
positions.
b. For Co-ed schools, the offices of the President, Executive Vice President and EXECOM
Vice Presidents shall only be filled in by brothers while the offices of the Senior Sister
and EXECOM Assistant Vice Presidents shall only be filled in by sisters.
c. The previous EVP automatically becomes President for the following school year. As
such there are no elections for President.
d. The current EXECOM who are qualified to be candidates but for some reason cannot
take on the responsibility should submit a letter to the head of the COMELEC explaining
why he/she cannot be an officer the following year. This letter should be submitted at
least 5 weeks before Election Day, to prevent any hindrance to the electoral procedure.
e. The Senior Sister position will be filled in by appointment through proper discernment
of the current Senior Sister. There will be no elections for this position because her role
in the campus is purely pastoral. The succeeding Senior Sister must be somebody from
the Assistant Vice President positions of the EXECOM. If in case all the current AVPs are
graduating or will not be able to serve in the next school year or term, the current
Senior Sister must choose from any of the household heads.
f. There shall be no campaigning of any sort apart from the Election Candidates
Information Summary Sheet to be distributed by the COMELEC. This is because we
believe in the gift of discernment that is in every member of the organization. There is
also the possibility that campaigning can lead to conflicts between candidates.
Competition and self-promotion must be avoided.
g. All members of the electorate (voters) are required to listen to the Election talks which
will be given during the Election Day.
h. At least four (4) weeks before the Election Day, the COMELEC Chairman will set a
meeting with the EVP, Senior Sister, EXECOM and Household Heads to nominate all
qualified candidates for EXECOM and review the list of qualified candidates for EVP as
submitted by the COMELEC. All nominated candidates for EXECOM and the identified
candidates for EVP will be reviewed and approved by the Campus Moderator and
Campus Program Volunteer.
i. In the Election, when two or more candidates have the same highest number of votes,
these candidates will each be given a chance to share about their conviction and
dreams for the campus (3-5 minutes each). Then, a tie-breaker voting shall be
conducted right after. In case no decision has been arrived, discretion will be given to

Senior Sister. If no successor has been tapped before the end of the term, it is the
discretion of the EVP and President as to who will hold the position in the next school
year/term. There will be no election for these positions because their role in the college
is also purely pastoral. Both the College President and College Senior Sisters act as
