This made me anxious around other people. Then I became part of Campus Ministry, and God gave me friends who care, listen, and help me in my walk with Jesus.

Jesus freed me from addiction and brought me to light. He put hope in my life: I know that I have a greater purpose. I built real confidence and courage, and now I’m active in our school’s campus ministry, sharing His word with my fellow students. Thank you, Jesus.

But through campus ministry, I learned to be vulnerable and accountable and to share lives with others. I found a community of people who always point me back to God and remind me of the cross. I know now that these burdens are not mine to carry, and I am not meant to walk this life alone.

Because of the Gospel, I have come to know my worth beyond my academic standing. I’ve realized that I am loved for who I am, without needing to prove myself to anyone—even to myself. The greatest gift I have ever received is coming to know Jesus.

As I continued my journey through college, there were seasons of doubt, pressure, and uncertainty, but I learned that following Christ wasn't about having a perfect life—it was about trusting a faithful God who never left my side.

Today, by God's grace, I am a teacher, and I realized that following Jesus didn't end when I graduated—it became even more evident in my workplace. Every classroom is now my mission field, where I can reflect Christ through the way I teach, serve, and love my students. I'm still learning, still growing, and still far from perfect, but my life is living proof that one invitation to know Jesus can change everything. I was once the one being reached out to, and now I pray that God will use my life to reach others too.

Everything began to change during the pandemic. I had no choice but to stay at home with my family, and what I first saw as a limitation became God's way of changing my heart.

My parents had no work during the pandemic, yet God never failed to provide for our needs. Through the kindness of other people, I clearly saw how God was working to take care of our family. The Lord gave me a peace that I had never experienced before.

God also opened my eyes to appreciate my parents. The people I once ignored became the very people God used to lead me closer to Him. Every day, we prayed together as a family and studied the Bible. I began to understand God's character, His promises, and His incredible love for me.

The gospel transformed my heart. His grace was greater than my failures, and His love called me to repentance and a new life. Instead of living only for myself, I desired to honor God and obey Him.

Looking back, I can confidently say that my life has been changed not because of my own efforts, but because of God's amazing grace. All glory belongs to Him.

Today, as part of a campus serve team, I am grateful that God allows me to reach students who, like me before, have not yet fully understood His love and the hope found in the gospel. My prayer is that they, too, will experience the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

At 12 years old, I was diagnosed with major depression and severe anxiety. For four years, I struggled with depression. I pushed people away, even my own family, because I didn't want to get hurt anymore. There was even a time when I decided to end my life, but my brother was able to save me. Looking back, I believe God didn't let me die because He still had a purpose for me.

When I was 16, someone invited me to Victory. That's where I encountered God again. I prayed, "Lord, if You really have a plan for my life, then lead me and change my heart." I didn't try to change myself because I knew I couldn't. I simply chose to seek Him and know Him more.

By the time I was 17, people who hadn't seen me for years told me how much I had changed. That's when I realized that while I was simply getting to know God, He had already been transforming my heart. He restored my relationships with my family, gave me hope again, and made me truly feel alive.

Today, I'm the one encouraging my family to go to church. I'm doing a One-to-One with my mom, and my dad is asking me to help him find a leader for his own One-to-One. By God's grace, I also have the privilege of serving my campus, IETI College Alabang, as part of the campus ministry team. That's why I chose to be baptized, not just to tell people that I belong to Christ, but to declare to the enemy who once tried to take my life that God has the final say.

After the pandemic, life became really difficult for me. I struggled with anxiety, depression, and questioning my worth. I also questioned my faith after my dad suffered two strokes. Seeing my mom carry so much pain and responsibility hurt me deeply as an only daughter, and there were moments when I didn’t understand why God would allow those things to happen to our family.

Everything changed when I attended a recollection of PEDHS in 2024, I tagged along with one of my mom’s former students. During the preaching, I felt God speaking to me in a way I never experienced before. I cried, reflected, and realized that even in my darkest moments, He never truly left me.

Since then, I started attending small group and worship services, learning more about God, doing One2One, and rebuilding my faith little by little. Looking back now, I know that God met me in the middle of my pain and slowly helped me find hope again.

Now I am now a grade 12 student at Sucat Senior High School, still part of the ENC SSHS community.

I know how important it is for students to have people who will genuinely listen, encourage them, and remind them that they're not alone as they go through the different challenges of college life.

One of the things I love most about serving is building genuine relationships with students. Whether it's through our serve team, planning activities together, or simply sitting down for a one-to-one conversation, I get to see how God moves in their lives. Those moments may seem simple, but they can have a lasting impact. Seeing someone become more open, grow in their faith, and discover their purpose is something that always reminds me why I continue to serve.

Serving in the campus is not just about organizing events or leading activities. It's about being present, walking alongside people, praying for them, and pointing them to Jesus through both words and actions.

As long as God gives me the opportunity, I want to continue investing in students and serving alongside this community. Even though I've already graduated, my heart for campus ministry is still the same because I believe every student deserves to know that they are loved, valued, and that God has a purpose for their life.

As the youngest in a family of already-successful siblings, I chased medals and honors, hoping to make my parents proud and finally feel seen. But despite every accomplishment, there was an emptiness I could never fill. Growing up with an absentee father, I unknowingly searched for that love in friendships and relationships that lacked real commitment—my life looked good on the outside, but underneath it was messy and broken.

In 2018, a classmate invited me to a youth service. I wasn't expecting anything life-changing—I just enjoyed the worship. I saw it as a one-time thing, but God had greater plans. Fast forward to 2022, I attended my first face-to-face youth service, met my first leader, completed One-to-One, and eventually attended Victory Weekend. Step by step, God began revealing Himself and transforming my life.

The emptiness I'd spent years trying to fill was finally filled by Him. He healed wounds I'd carried for so long and restored parts of my heart I thought would never be whole. For the first time, I understood my identity was never meant to be found in achievements, relationships, or others' approval—it was always meant to be found in Christ.

Today I'm still growing, but I walk with the confidence that I am deeply loved by God. I no longer have to prove my worth or earn acceptance; His love is unconditional, and His grace is sufficient.

Looking back, what I was truly searching for all those years wasn't success or recognition—it was Him. Jesus did not simply improve my life; He transformed it, taking a broken, empty heart and giving it purpose, peace, and a new identity. My greatest desire now is no longer to make a name for myself, but to live a life that honors the One who saved me and showed me what true love really is.

I learned of His love and sacrifice, and I surrendered my life to Him as Lord and Saviour. The journey since has been rough—trials, pain, attacks—yet also filled with joy, peace, and healing. He is faithful and righteous.

The storms still come, but He continues to mold and love me. My life is still messy, with much to work on, but now He is here. I am His mess. I am His work in progress. I am now His child.

Formerly from TNHS, a current student of MNHS

My friend Augustus, with whom I once debated the Bible's legitimacy, brought me to Youth Service in September 2025. Something about the sermon touched me, though I wasn't yet saved. There I met my first leader, Ate Len, who pursued me for six months to help me begin a relationship with God.

I truly accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior the night my first boyfriend betrayed me, and I begged God to save me from the pain.

By His grace, I picked myself back up with a strength I knew wasn't mine, and something compelled me to buy my first Bible that week. Christ has granted me a kind of peace I'll never be able to put into words. Now, I'm happier than ever, surrounded by a loving, God-fearing community that helped me grow closer to Him. I began attending Victory Youth weekly, praying nightly, and finished my One-to-One sessions with Ate Alo. God never gave up pursuing me, and He still continues to do so as I navigate my new life as His follower.

Grabe yung culture shock; coming from a private school, I was surprised by how intense the competition was. I was a wreck, merely surviving, but deep inside I knew something was missing.

Thankfully, I had my circle of friends, and one of them invited us to Victory. At first nothing felt new since I grew up as a Christian, but I was wrong. Napadalas yung pag-attend namin as a friend group—campus huddles, kamustahan, discussions about the preaching, simply doing life together.

When things got harder, doon ko na-realize kung gaano kalaking blessing ang magkaroon ng spiritual family within your own campus, people who genuinely understand your struggles and always point you back to Jesus, the true source of life.

Whenever I felt lost, nandoon ang ENC-CDM to share their light with me. Then someone asked, "Do you want to know Jesus more?", and the rest is history.

They became my safe space, my second family, reminding me my worth would never be measured by academic success. Now serving in campus ministry, it pushes me to extend the same grace I received, to reach more lost souls, just like I once was.

I grew up in a Christian family. The world says we come with nothing and leave with nothing—not half wrong, since I was born with nothing, yet given everything. My parents invested in our education; I topped math tests, competed for our school, and joined the robotics club. But my achievements came with a hunger that lasted for years, until I felt both physically and mentally tired.

When ENC became a Senior High School organization in 2024, I wanted to join but didn't dare approach their booth. That afternoon, I believed God spoke to me: "Why not sign up for the Finance Committee?" Suddenly I found myself standing right in front of ENC's booth, feeling exciting. I thought of running away, but God had a different plan. A year later, I became Auditor of FEU-ENC.

Looking back, I realize God planned to involve me in a real, God-fearing community. I underwent One-2-One and had water baptism. I got out of my isolation and met people with very different stories; from being a regular online debater about my faith, I gained a new perspective, learning gentleness and patience. God didn't call me because of my achievements or money. He called me because He wants me. I may have entered the world with nothing, but I know I'll leave it following God. Praise God!

Reading Scripture gave me a different perspective. I encountered stories of people who had fallen, suffered, and made mistakes, yet were never beyond God's love and mercy. Seeing how Jesus welcomed, forgave, and transformed broken people gave me hope that He could do the same for me.

That hope became my strength. It didn't erase every challenge, but reminded me I never had to face them alone. Academic burnout, my struggles with identity, and the weight of my past gradually grew lighter as I learned to trust God more deeply. The Gospel taught me that my mistakes do not define me—God's love does. It continues to shape me into someone who chooses faith over fear, hope over despair, and perseverance over giving up.

My journey is still ongoing, but because of the Gospel, I no longer walk it without direction. I walk it with Christ, trusting that His grace is enough and that He is continuously transforming my heart into the person He created me to be.

It has helped me understand my true identity: I am a child of God, never alone, because He is always with me. It has given me a heart to care for others, especially my classmates, and a passion to reach those who have not yet experienced God's love.

Most importantly, it has taught me to encourage others, have meaningful conversations about faith, and remind people they are deeply loved by God.

I met Jesus again when I asked a preteens coach to do One2One with me, moving from just going with the flow to having a purpose and identity in Christ.

Knowing who I am in Christ, I reached out to friends, family, and my campus. In high school, I joined the work God is doing in MunSci, finding community serving alongside students and missionaries.

Through serving, God strengthened me with wisdom and courage. It’s fulfilling to experience Him put words in my mouth, encourage me to reach out to my schoolmates, and also let me see His work in nurturing the seeds that we planted.

Nakilala ko si Ate Kem nung Grade 7, kasama sila Maria and Ashley. Lumapit sya samin at pinakilala si God, nakipag kwentuhan sya samin tungkol kay God.

Thankful ako kase ginamit ni God ang pagkakataong iyon para ma-share sa amin ang love Niya. Noong malaman kong mahal na mahal ako ni God, mas nakapagshare na ako ng problem, at naramdaman ang comfort Niya sa small group.

Simula noon ay nagbago ang buhay ko. Natuto akong mag pray kay God, at ngayon ay naramdaman ko na yung love na hinahanap ko dati. Gusto ko na ring ipakilala si God sa family ko.

At 14, Jeff was exposed to vices like drinking, smoking, relationship hopping, and truancy that led to school discipline.

His story changed in Grade 11, when he met a brother in Christ who coached basketball. From basketball came a discipleship journey, as his coach introduced him to Every Nation Campus in Cupang.

Jeff came to understand that Jesus came to save him and give him new life. He now serves in Muntinlupa Business High School campus ministry, preaching the gospel and discipling others.

Senior High Student, Cupang Senior High School

As a student, I often felt pressured and anxious, believing my worth depended on my grades. Campus Ministry taught me my identity is found in Christ.

The gospel changed how I see myself. I do not have to earn God's love; Jesus already made a way for me. Even when I fail, God remains faithful, and that has given me peace.

I am still growing and do not have it all figured out, but the gospel now lets me face life with hope instead of fear. Whatever season I am in, God is with me, and that is enough.

I used to avoid bad things only out of fear of hell. But through God's Word, I learned to do good out of love for God, not fear. His Word reminds me I am never alone; He is always guiding me, and I face every challenge with courage, knowing He is there to help.

One day, a friend invited me to Victory, and for the first time I felt I belonged and that God was calling me. I was learning and growing with Christ, and that's when I truly found Him and began having a personal relationship with Jesus. I once was lost in the mindset of being a good Christian just because I attended church every Sunday, but now every day I'm growing and learning with Christ.

That was until I was reached out to through the scholarship. I wasn't sure if I was serious about listening to the Gospel, but God was so patient, He used people around me to share the truth.

The transformation in my life wasn't instant—I'm still progressing. I learned to wait and to have humility, and became optimistic instead of someone who always felt like the world was against me.

I learned to be hopeful for reconciliation with my parents, and to understand that they were going through something too. I learned to forgive them, and that's the transformation I'm most thankful for.

When I attended that event, I realized God sees what I am going through and wants me to rest. I felt His love. For the first time, I realized God worked through the campus ministers to make it know that His rest is always available. From there, my mind found peace whenever I remembered that moment.

She joined Youth Service and felt warmly welcomed. As she attended discipleship meetings, she found freedom from fears and insecurities, becoming more confident, joyful, and hopeful. ENC helped her realize her life has purpose and motivated her toward discipline in her studies.

“Being part of the Every Nation Campus Alabang family was one of the best decisions I ever made. It helped me build a genuine relationship with God, grow in my love for people, and study hard for excellence in my studies. It helped me discover my identity and purpose in Christ. I want to keep learning more about Our God, and may I grow in his knowledge.”

Spending time bonding and fellowshipping with them lit a fire in me for the lost, especially my friends and classmates. Having tasted the joy that only Christ gives, I started sharing the Good News and eventually led some of them to accept Him as Lord and Savior.

My changed life slowly encouraged my family too. My mom and I do campus ministry together because she also has a heart for students who are lost, while my brothers serve in their respective ministries as well. My testimony is a story of God's grace by changing one life of a student to changing a family, changing the campus, and changing the nation.

I grew up in a religious family, but did not truly understand the gospel until God used the campus missionaries to reach me during college. Through church and the Real Life Scholarship Program, I encountered Christ and found mentors who guided me. As I surrendered my life to Jesus, He transformed not only my heart but my family. Today, I serve in the medical ministry, lead a small group, and witness my parents and brother grow in their relationship with Christ.

What inspired me most to join is seeing students encounter God for the first time and discover how deeply He loves them. Witnessing lives transformed through His grace reminds me how God also changed mine. Knowing He can use ordinary people to lead others to Him encourages me to keep serving with joy and purpose.

I began measuring my worth by how proud others were of me rather than by what Jesus had already done on the cross. But as I grew closer to Jesus through my tears and prayers, I understood His love for me is not based on my performance. He loves all of me, flaws and all.

One question used to follow me: Am I enough?

Through personally knowing Jesus, I realized the answer was never in myself. His grace is sufficient, His love unconditional. Seeing life through having an Audience of One changed how I live, giving me a heart to serve and remind others they are deeply valued by God.

I still have moments of doubt and grief, and losing my father is not something I simply move on from. But I no longer face those struggles alone, because Jesus is more than enough.
