Last year, LWA, for the very first time, got the nod of Notre Christi Academy of the Philippines officials to facilitate its yearly retreat for their college-bound 4th year high school students. This year, we did again. The retreat, like last year, was held at Amber Trail Resort and Hotels at Pampanga last Sept. 1-3. LWA was given a free hand to organize the retreat, from the games, accommodation and all the way to the lectures. The team saw this as another opportunity to share the Gospel to students.The theme for this year's retreat was "Warning: Danger Ahead." The theme aimed to bring to the knowledge of students dangers in the college life that may bring away their focus, not only from their studies, but more importantly from God. Arvin Cunanan did a lecture on "Peer Pressure", Andrea Amor Franco talked about "Fads, Fashion, Philosophies, etc., in the College Life", and Dennis Mark Y. Aglosolos talked about "The Dangers Beyond this Life." Andrea and Kimphy Desiderio handled the morning devotions where sin, righteousness and judgment was the main topic. The whole retreat was described by the attendees as fun, informative and eye-opening.
The Sunday after the retreat, about eight of the more than fifty attendees attended a nearby Bible-believing church in the area of the school. Praise the Lord for seeds that have been planted in the hearts of young students!
