Massive greetings of congratulations to the World Student Christian Federation from SCM Philippines!

We're very proud and honored to be part of a worldwide ecumenical youth community that upholds human rights, economic justice, gender equality, rights for education, and many more that actualizes our faith in a God that is the God of history, justice, and struggle who is and works with the poor and the downtrodden.

We give many thanks for the opportunities that the WSCF has given us and for many more opportunities in the future. As the world faces a multipolar world, continued economic crises, imperialist aggressions, and effects of the pandemic, we must, as a global community, re-discover our faith that is not only part of the material world, but seeks with other sectors and groups to systematically change the world to a new kind of structural model towards peace based on social justice. Let us study and live our faith. Let us remember that Christ, while He is God, was born poor, struggled with the poor, and executed as part of the working class.

The world continues to face a revolutionary situation that requires our solidarity and action. Let us do everything that we can and we must towards peace and collective strengthening (Rom 14:19).

We hope to connect and work with many more SCMs around the world!

Let us preach the Good News that there is hope among struggle.
Let us be the fishers of the people.
Let us carry the cross of the oppressed.

Follow Christ, love thy neighbor, serve the People!

#helping each other #learning #openness #dialogue. Wishing everyone to share what you have & bringing to the assembly and receive what is around you! One story from the assembly is today clearer than all other moments...a meeting in 2008 in Montreal  WSCF Assembly. And then almost 14 years afterwards, February 2022, without a meeting in between, an outreach and reconnecting for months and months due to the Ukraine war till now and today. May WSCF continue to be the place of connection  possibilities for you! Blessed time of presence of each other! "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ". Gal 6,2

May Gods blessings be with us all.
Ecumenical work is super important.
To meet and greet. We have so much to learn from each other, and even more important: we have so many relationships to live out.
We are all children of God, and as such we live out our God given relationships as a confirming of our faith. In a similar way as we do rituals in church that mirrors and confirms our faith.

In Matthew 7:12, our Lord summarize the law and in Luke 10:27, the Gospel is summarized. But think not of it as the double commandment of love, but at least as the tripple commandment.
I argue for a tripple commandment of love, for one should not only love God and our neighbor, but the very last words tells us that our love should also include ourselfs. "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Hence, we are not to forget about loving ourselfs. Selfcare, selflove, selfrespect - it is the Gospel.
I said that we at least should count them as a tripple commandment of love for there is one more thing I reckon we forget, and that is to veiw the creation as our neighbor. As St. Francis of Assisi would preach and as the story of creation teaches us: we are all created equall in the eyes of God. The Bible does not say 'and God saw that the fowls that fly above the earth was better than the cattle'; everything ever created by God, was good independent of everything else. Equally good, humans, bugs, trees alike. Hence, the juniper bush and the savannah elephant are as much a neighbor as any random human being.

We meet with experiences of a world that suffers in so many ways and we bear the collective guilt of man's devastating contribution to life. We meet because as long as we come together, as long as we pray together, as long as we live out the love spoken about in the Gospel - there is hope.

Pax et bonum

This year's anniversary marks our 127th anniversary as an advocacy organization for Christian students globally, and I extend my heartiest anniversary wishes to you, The World Student Christian Federation. The WSCF had been an essential part of our life's journey and success. I am eternally grateful for the dedication and passion you have shown for us as Christian Students worldwide, especially, the Student Christian Movement of Liberia. Thank you for being with us, WSCF for the years under review.
We cannot thank you enough, because words are inadequate to express how much we feel your impacts and commitment to justice for all, especially, Christian Students. May God Almighty continuously renew our strengths, favor, blessings, commitment, unity, and make us more zealous in being prophetic witnesses to the church and society. Happy Anniversary to all of us.

National Chairperson

Anniversaries are a time to celebrate where we come from, but they’re also to celebrate how we’ve changed. This timeline does a fabulous job narrating the prodigious, century-long odyssey that continues today, and emphasizes the strength of a visual identity that, despite the consistent and considerable change, has been persistently recognizable over the span of more than 127 years.
Happy 127 anniversary. Wishing our WSCF the organization of our souls more success in the upcoming future. Thanks to everyone for making the journey smooth and easy. Our best regards to our founder for his initiatives. And Our respect and love to all former and today's leaders.
Many thanks to Almighty God because we have seen this success because of his grace.

In Solidarity and Peace,
Monika Biswas

Brethren, SCMers, Senior Friends,
Ecumenical Greetings! Indeed, staying and working missions together
for over 12 decades leaves me with nothing more to say than, “It Got To Be God”.
We testify to the goodness of God for these 127 years as WSCF family. And all that we have come to learn and give through the WSCF. To how many have come to Christ and have experience the goodness of God. His Mercies are indeed new every morning. And God’s Grace according to 2 Corinthians 12:9 --- But He said to me (Us), “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I (we) will boast all the more gladly about my (our) weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me (us). (NIV)
As we observe this 37th GA, may we remember in our hearts and actions that as in Psalm 100:5 — the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

Here to it, Galatians 5:22 -23 - The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Peace and Love
- Facia Boyenoh Harris

In 1988 my mother went to a WSCF conference in Berlin. At that time the Berlin wall was still up. Even though the Berlin wall is no longer up there are still a lot that divide us but as the late MP Jo Cox once said

"We Are Far More United Than The Things That Divide Us". I hope that we can share in that unity while celebrating our differences that make this organisation so wonderful.

Looking forward to seeing you all there and am praying for your safe travels.

It is 37 years since I joined SCM in college. I remember my first meeting with WSCF friends in Bangkok in 1987 at HRD. What I gained in knowledge and understanding remains with me even today and helps strengthen my faith in meaningful existence. As I work with YMCA I am proud to say it all began with SCM. I sincerely hope that we will continue to inspire the coming generations with our work. Emanuel Sarfraz (Pakistan)

Greetings and best wishes for the General Assembly 2022 from Pakistan. SCM Pakistan began here in 1961 and since then has played an important role in shaping the structure of all Church organisations. Most of the Christian leadership has been part of this ecumenical movement and continue to keep the true SCM spirit alive while serving in different capacities in Church and Parachurch  Organisations. SCM Pakistan is proud of being part of WSCF family. We strongly believe SCM brings hope in the lives of Christian students and would continue to do so in coming years.

Regards,
Daud Abdia
Honorary General Secretary

Dear friends,
May we continue to walk together in faith, hope and love. The WSCF has added so much to so many lives. May it continue to be strong and dynamic, walking with Jesus with all who are marginalised and heavy-laden, bringing fresh insights to church and community.
I have been staff and Chair of the Australian Student Christian Movement and Vice-Chair and Chair of the WSCF Asia-Pacific and continue to try to support both, as well as the Constitutional Commission of the WSCF.
In Sydney I work as a barrister and am active in my local Anglican church and the NSW Ecumenical Council.
In Australia it would be the 136th anniversary of the ASCM this year, as John R Mott travelled to Australia in 1896 and the Australasian (Aust and NZ/Aoteoroa) Student Christian Movement began.
Congratulations WSCF!!

Warmly
Mandy Tibbey

Ecumenical humility, critical faith, reasoned dialogue, active and open methods, all these principles of the WSCF are inspired by the compassionate ethical vision of Jesus Christ in the Gospels for planetary transformation to build the reign of love. The immensely rich heritage of WSCF as the church ahead of the church will continue to grow.
See you in Berlin!
