SYM now facilitates retreat for students. Just like what they did for the 4th year students of Notre Christi Academy of the Philippines (Bustos, Bulacan) last September 2-4, 2008.NCAP, on a yearly basis, bring their students to a retreat where the students can be prepared for the demands of college, at the same time, get to hear a clear explanation of the gospel. This year, they hired the services of the Star Youth Ministries. This is the first time SYM did this. Through the leadership of Lester Cabais, the retreat director, the event held at Amber Trail Kingdom Hotel and Resort was a big success. Helping in the event are SYM members Andrea Amor Franco and Paul Desiderio. They conducted morning devotions for the 92 students.
Lectures on "Coping with College Life", as well as "Love, Courtship and Dating" were delivered by Lester Cabais and Dennis Mark Y. Aglosolos. The gospel, as adapted from the Living Waters pamphlet, "Why Christianity?", was also delivered by Dennis Mark Y. Aglosolos. Interaction by the students was allowed during the lectures that's why their questions and objections about the gospel were answered by the speaker. Several of the students claimed to have responded to the gospel. Only God knows how true that was. But what the SYM team is sure of is that seeds were planted in the hearts of the students.
