Modules that attract and excite
CFC Youth for Christ believes that Jesus Christ is the most
exciting person a young person can ever experience. He is the
best guide a young person should have in his Christian
life. Unfortunately, he is the most misrepresented, erroneously
packaged and misunderstood person who does not hold any
interest in the minds and hearts of todays youth. He is perceived
as boring, not cool and out of fashion.
The following modules were created to begin the process
of repackaging Jesus in the eyes of the youth. It aims to
project the Christian life as fun, exciting and highly attractive to
todays youth. Team building activities, workshops, and fun
games that are used to inculcate Christian values and
teachings. These modules are arranged in no particular order
and may be used to recruit, energize or build team spirit within
the club.

Topic Outline
INTRODUCTION
The speaker may ask someone to sing When I Fall In Love to start the
talk.
Then the speaker can start by sayingnakakakilig no?!!
Who among you here has a crush already? He/She can ask them to raise
their hands.
Falling in love is one of the most exciting and overwhelming experiences
in a persons life. True love has the power to transform us into a loving and
lovable person. It can bring out the best in us and move us to do great and
wonderful things. It is they key to a lifetime of happiness if we realize that it
is a gift from God who is the source of love and object of love.
TRAGEDY OF LOVE
For those who do not know the essence of love, it can also be ugly and
tragic. What starts out as a beautiful relationship can end up with lovers
hating and hurting each other. Good people, smart people, beautiful people
are not spared the danger of love.
Maraming suma cum laude ang nagiging sumanhonor student na
nagiging horror pagdating sa love. A lot of times people fall into the trap
that they always associate love with romancethat they dont listen to
parents or friends just because he/she wants to be with this person. But
in reality romance is just an icing on the cake it is not enough to sustain
the relationship.
THE JOY OF LOVING
We must really understand what love really is so that we may appreciate
it and truly experience the joy of loving.
1. Love is special, let us not cheapen it.
We cheapen love when we change boyfriend/girlfriend as if we are

changing clothes. Courtship in the malls also cheapen love.
Girls cheapen love when they dont put value to their yes.
Page 7 of 80

Girls dont just say yes to every guy that come your way.
2. Love is beautiful, let us not make it ugly.
A dishonest relationship makes it ugly.

Avoid bawal na pag-ibig, hiram na pag-ibig.
An underground relationship does not give us peace.
BEING CALLED
WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
3. Love is for a lifetime, let us not rush into it.
Having crushes and being attracted to the opposite sex are normal in
high school. But entering into serious relationship at this age is not
wise.
This is the stage of transitionphysical, emotional, biological, etc.
Feelings and emotion are very unstable at this point.
Love is an unconditional commitment that a person in his early teens
may be unprepared.
PRACTICAL PREPARATION FOR A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP
For love to be right and life giving one needs to be prepared for its long
term consequences. How do we prepare ourselves:
1. Build friendships to as many people as possible.
This widens your horizons and it also broadens your field of choice.
2. Be the best that you can be in all important areas in your life.
As a person, be beautiful inside and out.

Keep yourself clean.
Take care of your body.
3. Develop your talents.
Allow yourself to grow in your full potential.

4. Give your best in your studies.
Strive for excellence in whatever you are in.

5. As a Christian, be a good witness in your life and service.
6. Decide to love your family especially your parents.
How can you love someone you barely know when you cannot love the
people you go home to.
7. Develop your relationship with God.
At the moment, be satisfied with your life.

SHARING/TESTIMONY
The speaker can now call on the sharers to give their testimony.

CONCLUSION
Love is good. Love is beautiful. It is God special gift to men. It can also be
forever but we must also realize that TRUE LOVE WAITS!!!!

GUITAR WORKSHOP
Topic Outline
Introduction
Music is the language of the soul. We have truly been blessed with the
gift of music. Not just in enjoying it through listening, but also by being able
to make music by playing our chosen instruments. Needless to say, to be
able to play music in praise of the Lord is the greatest calling for a musician.
However, unlike all other gifts presented to us, Music is a gift that needs
to be learned in order to appreciate it. While having technique is not as
important as playing with emotion and a deep sense of feel, we are all
compelled to learn and develop our own level of playing technique and
competence in order to develop emotion and feel. While we all cannot be as
talented as the likes of Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney or Eddie Van Halen, we
still can always make ourselves play better than ever simply by practicing
and by having even the simplest understanding of the guitar.
Basic Parts and Composition of the Guitar
1. Fingerboard
For acoustic guitars, the wood choice for fret boards are usually
rosewood and ebony bec. of their mellower tone though sometimes
maple is also used.
2. Frets
There are normally 20 frets installed in an acoustic guitar.
The 12th fret represents the octave which means that anything you play
from the 1st to the 11th can be doubled from the 12th fret onwards.
3. Strings
Page 18 of 80

Come in different gauge or thickness.

The lighter the string gauge, the easier it is to finger chords but usually
produces thin and bright sound.
Medium or heavy gauge strings are harder to play but provide deeper
tone & louder volume.
How to play the guitar
1. Posture
There are several postures in playing. Some may require strict adherence
to be able to play certain types of music. However, all postures should
achieve the same result - and that is, comfort.
When seated, try to gain a comfortable position where the guitar is
perfectly balanced while still providing you with ease when fingering
chords.
When standing, adjust your strap to levels where it is most comfortable
for you to both strum and finger chords.
BEING CALLED
2. Tuning
The rule is always... TUNE BEFORE PLAYING!
Not only do you play better when your guitar is in tune but singers also
sing better when accompaniment is in tune.
Always tune your guitar BEFORE you go on stage or in front of an
audience.
Remember that those people came to hear you play - not to listen to
you tune your instrument.
3. Strumming
The guitar is a Percussion Instrument.
This is because strumming patterns always fall in time w/ the beat of a
musical piece - whether it may be a slow ballad or a fast melodic jazz
number.
4. The Basics:
a. Feel the beat of a song. Use your foot to keep time
b. The strumming motion varies from player to player and from song to
song.
c. Hold the Pick properly
d. Wrist movements should be kept short for more control
e. Forearm and elbow support
f. Right hand coordination - just as important as the left hand
g. Pick attack for Dynamics
h. Palm Muting
i. Basic Down Stroke - dominant stroke which sets the pace
j. Upstroke - usually used for Filling the spaces left by the down stroke.
Too much of this results in a jerky tempo.
k. Combination Down and Up Stroke
Page 19 of 80

l. Maintaining the Rhythm. Patterns may vary per song but the beat or
rhythm stays the same except in songs wherein which it is specified
that the tempo will change from slow to fast.
5. Playing with Other Guitarists:
a. Tune all guitars to the same pitch before playing
b. Select one of the guitarists to take the role of dominant player. He/She
will be tasked to set the rhythm and pace for everyone to follow.
b. When positioned side by side, listen to the player on your left and play
along with his strumming pattern so as to ensure unity in strumming.
c. Practicing together helps you become more familiar with the
strumming preferences of your partners and vice-versa.
Conclusion
Being able to play the guitar is a blessing. Treat is as such. Regardless of
whether your a good guitar-player or a so-so one, understand that the true
joy of playing a guitar comes when you play from your heart and soul. Total
happiness is when you find the Lord touching your heart whenever you play
music in His praise.

VOICE WORKSHOP
Topic Outline
Introduction
Music is truly the language of the soul. Man has always sought
consolation and refuge in music. Even in the Bible, God tirelessly speaks of
His unending love for us, His people and makes it most evident in Jesus, His
ultimate love song.
The choir has always fascinated man. He uses one to assist him in his
worship experiences, to give praise and thanks, and even to entertain him.
Many of us probably are not aware that our vocal chords is the greatest
instrument of all. So let us all try to use it in the best way possible... through
singing.
Assigning Singers to Proper Voice Sections
Voice-sectioning of every choir depends mainly on its composition,
whether it has an all-female, all-male or mixed groupings.
Singers in a choir are categorized into four basic voice classifications or
sections, namely: For the Ladies: Soprano (S) and Alto (A) and for the Men:
Tenor (T) and Bass (B).
Page 21 of 80

1.
2.
3.
4.
Sopranos are female singers with high voices preferable reaching notes
which range from C to G (middle Do to high Sol) with ease and clarity.
They are normally assigned the Melody part of the song.
Altos are female singers who sing the low female voices. Voice ranges
from G to D (low Sol to high Re)
Tenors are the male counterpart of the Sopranos. They must at least have
a voice range of A to G (lower La to middle Sol).
Bass are male singers whose voice range from F to E (lower Fa to middle
Mi)
These voice ranges are the standard & common ranges. But really good
singers are not confined to them and rather have wider limits that can be
used for truly challenging pieces.
The indicator in assigning the voice section is determining in what limit
does the individual sounds better, or in what range does one produces the
clearer, warmer tones.
The most important factor to remember for success in choir singing is the
ability of the members to absorb and remember the notes to be sung by
their section and be able to sing these notes in harmony with the singers of
the other sections. This spells the big difference between an ordinary singer
and a good choir member.
Conclusion
We have learned basically all we need to know about singing. Now,
it is time for us to learn how to use it. Singing is meaningless if we do not
use it to its highest purpose. The purpose of which is to praise & worship our
Lord, the Giver of all our talents.

ETIQUETTE
Topic Outline
Introduction
Etiquette is a set of rules that society has set up for the proper way to
behave in dealing with other people. What a person is, is of far greater
importance than what he/she appears to be. The knowledge of how to be a
gentleman and how to be a lady is essential to ones decent behavior, just as
clothing is essential to ones decent appearance.
What is a gentleman?
A gentleman is one that never takes advantage of the poor or the
helpless.
Page 25 of 80

One who is not well off does not sponge, but pays his own way to the
utmost of his ability.

One who is rich does not make a display of his money or his possessions.
No gentleman goes to a ladys house if he is affected by alcohol.
A gentleman does not lose control of his temper.
A gentleman does not show a letter written by a lady, unless perhaps to a
very intimate friend.
a man of breeding does not slap strangers on the back nor so much as lay
his fingertips on a lady nor does he punctuate his conversation by pushing
or nudging or patting people.
A gentleman is considerate of the feelings of others no matter what the
position of the others may be.
A gentleman never takes advantage of anothers helplessness or
ignorance.
Lastly, one who not only respects the property of others, but demands
that they also respect those which are his.
The rules of convention says that a gentleman, whether walking with two
ladies or one, takes the curb side of the pavement, and that he should
never sandwich himself between them.
A gentleman should always offer to carry a ladys things
What is a lady?
A lady is much the same as a gentleman.
She is equally careful about her debts.
She is also always unwilling to take advantage of others especially if her
opposition is helpless or poor
A lady is considerate of others less fortunately placed, especially those
who work for her.
One of the tests by which to distinguish between the woman of breeding
and the woman merely of wealth is to notice the way she speaks to her
employees.
Should not refuse a gentlemans offer of help especially in carrying her
things.
BEING CALLED
How a Gentleman and Lady should act:

1. On the Street and in Public
The most important rules of behavior in the street are those against
doing things that are noticeable.
Page 26 of 80

All people in the streets, or anywhere in public, should be careful not to
talk too loud.

Avoid conspicuous manners, conspicuous clothes, a loud voice,
Staring at people, bumping into them, talking across any one.
One should never call out a name in public, unless it is absolutely
unavoidable.
Never take more than your share; whether of the road in driving a car,
of chairs on a boat or seats on a train, or food at the table.
2. In a Restaurant
when one lady, passing another seated at a table in a restaurant, stops
and shakes hands, the one who is seated does not rise unless she is
very young and the one passing is quite old. All the gentlemen at the
table of course rise and stand until the visiting lady has departed,
whether she is known to them or not.
(This detail of behavior is one that every lady should take seriously,
since every gentleman MUST stand as long as she stands. It doesnt
change the situation a bit for her to say Please sit down)
Conclusion:
We can enumerate so many more instances and examples of how one can
be a gentleman or a lady. The most important thing to remember about
etiquette, is that, whether it be applied to a man or a woman, or to a halfgrown child, it is all about having the code of instinctive decency (honesty &
trustworthiness in every obligation), ethical/moral integrity (a delicacy of
motive and of fairness in judging the motives of others), self-respect and
loyalty (faithfulness not only to friends but to principles).

DANCE WORKSHOP
Topic Outline
Introduction
Dance, patterned and rhythmic bodily movements, which is usually
performed to music, often serves as a form of communication or expression.
Human beings express themselves naturally through movement. Dance is
the transformation of ordinary functional and expressive movement
into extraordinary movement for extraordinary purposes.
Dance can be art, ritual, or recreation. It goes beyond the functional
purposes of the movements used in work or athletics in order to express
emotions, moods, or ideas; tell a story; serve religious, political, economic, or
social needs; or simply be an experience that is pleasurable, exciting, or
aesthetically valuable.
Primary Elements of Dance
1.
2.
3.
4.
The use of SPACE

Floor patterns, the shapes of the moving body, and designs in space
made by the limbs
The use of TIME
tempo, the length of a dance, rhythmic variations, and the attitude toward
filling time, from taking one's time to making quick stops and starts
The use of the BODYS WEIGHT
Overcoming gravity to execute light, graceful movements, surrendering to
gravity with heavy or limp movements, or exerting the body's weight
against gravity with strength
The use of ENERGY FLOW
Tense, restrained, or bound movements or freely flowing motion.
Dance and the Human Mind

Besides giving physical pleasure, dancing can have psychological effects.
Feelings and ideas can be expressed and communicated; sharing rhythms
and movements can make a group feel unified. In some societies, dancing
often leads to trance or other altered states of consciousness. These states
can be interpreted as signaling possession by spirits, or they may be sought
as a means to emotional release. A state of trance may enable people to
perform remarkable feats of strength, endurance, or danger, such as dancing
through hot coals. In some societies, shamans dance in trance in order to
heal others physically or emotionally. The modern field of dance therapy
Page 29 of 80

developed as a means to help people express themselves and relate to
others.
BEING CALLED
Dance Workshop
The physical and psychological effects of dance enable it to serve many

functions. It may be a form of worship, a means of honoring ancestors, a way
of propitiating the gods, or a method to effect magic. Dancing is mentioned
in the Bible, and until the Middle Ages it was often a part of worship services
and religious celebrations. Although the Christian church later denounced
dancing as immoral, it continued to be important in various Christian and
non-Christian sects.
Dance and Society
Dance often occurs at rites of passage, or ceremonies performed when an
individual passes from one role to another. Thus, birth, initiation, graduation,
marriage, succession to political office, and death, may be marked by
dancing. Dance may also be a part of courtship. In some societies dances
may be the only events at which young people of different sexes can meet.
In contemporary society, dances also provide important occasions for young
people to socialize. Work too may be in the form of dance. Rhythmic
movements may make the work go more quickly and efficiently, as in
Japanese rice-planting dances. Dance is an art form in some cultures, and in
the 20th century some dances that originated as elaborate religious rituals or
court entertainments have been adapted to the theater.
Conclusion
As mentioned earlier, dance was often a part of worship services and
religious celebrations until, in the Middle Ages, the Christian church later
denounced dancing as immoral. Now, having the concept of creative
evangelization in mind, we believe that dancing is a very powerful tool which
we can utilize to its full capacity. So lets not waste any more time and let
us start transforming our ordinary functional and expressive movement
into extraordinary movement
for extraordinary
purposes; and
that extraordinary purpose is to use dance to bring others closer to God.

BEING FORMED
Modules that deepen and form
The YFC Club aims to create a more stable Christian
environment for its members in the high schools. The structure
provided by the schools enables them to work within a fixed social
setting, which allows for a more concrete and consistent support
relationship among its members. As high school students, there
is a need to understand and fully grasp what is happening around
them. Given the right support, they will be given the chance to
realize their true identity as sons/ daughters of God, and their
significance in the world today.
The following modules aims to provide an opportunity for the
YFC Club members to see their roles as students, as children of
God and as members of society. It is YFCs mission to put
substance in the lives of each member and to instill in them the
values they need to live fruitful and meaningful lives. Although
there is no guarantee that they will lead perfect lives, it hopes to
equip them with the elements needed to make decisions, discern
for their future and face the challenges that life will bring.

Topic Outline
INTRODUCTION
The family is so important to God that when He decided to come down
and become man, He came through a family. Jesus was born of Mary by the
power of the Holy Spirit and was raised as the son of Joseph.
In essence, God takes care of us through our parents. Our parents
support us through our growing years and play a major role in forming our
character. As we grow to be mature and responsible, our parents teach us
how to care of ourselves. As we finish our education, and become more
independent, our parents give us the support we need to start our careers
and start our own families. When we become parents ourselves, we pass on
the same knowledge and wisdom to our own children.
THE CHALLENGES FAMILIES FACE TODAY
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Parents and children spend less time together to communicate and build a
loving relationship with one another.
Values which we normally learn from our families are being replaced by
external factors; media, peer pressure and advertisements.
Misunderstanding and miscommunication between parents and children
due to fears brought about by an increasingly dangerous environment.
This cause rebellion and disobedience of children to their parents.
Parents demand for personal excellence and perfection fosters an
atmosphere of competition among siblings. This causes sibling rivalries
and resentments among them that they perceive biases or favoritism on
the part of the parents.
There is an increasing number of broken families and hurting people who
are afraid to love and receive love and to trust people.
CLAIMING THE VICTORY IN YOUR FAMILY
Page 35 of 80

1.Accept
your parents and make a decision to love them unconditionally.

Forgive them for the hurts they have caused you.
3. Parents are not perfect so do not expect a perfect relationship. Some
have been broken during their childhood and may be experiencing
brokeness in the present relationship.
4. Be open with your communication with your parents. Treat them the way
you treat your friends. They are your friends and not your enemies.
5. Make a decision to be a loving presence to your family especially to your
brothers and sisters.
BEING FORMED
PERFECT MOMENTS
Decide to be happy. As you go through life, there will always be

difficult times. You can choose to be miserable everyday, or you can
choose to learn from the situation and remain optimistic that you will
eventually resolve your differences.
7. Pray for the family, that the Lord may guide all the members in building
up the relationship. Make God the source of your strength.
6.
REMEMBER: When you engage in harmful activities out of rebellion

& disobedience, you not only hurt your parents, YOU ALSO HURT
YOURSELF and you suffer the consequences of your actions,
compromising your happiness and your future.
CONCLUSION
God has a beautiful plan for our families. Our family is the building block for
our future families.
No one is perfect. There are no perfect relationships not even with our
families. However, there are perfect moments with them. Moments when
we laugh together, we have fun together; we are there to support each other
in times of need. Perfect moments are good to look forward to, because we
know that after the darkness, God will bring us to the light.

EGG ACTIVITY
GOAL:
1. Divide the members into smaller care groups which will serve as their
discussion groups in the Youth Camp and as their households later on.
2. Prepare the members for the Youth Camp.
3. Exhort the members to participate and invest in YFC and in the YFC Club.
MATERIALS:
Eggs
Newspaper
Masking Tape
DYNAMICS:
1. Ask the participants to divide themselves into groups of 5 (five) members
each.
Take note of these groupings. It is likely that the groups they form are
with the people they can most relate with. It would be a good idea to
maintain these groupings the whole school year; during their Youth
Camp and afterwards to serve as households or care groups
2. Give each group an equal allocation of the materials. Limit the materials.
1 pc egg
2 pcs sheets of newspaper
2 pcs yard strip of masking tape
3. Instruct them that their main objective is to protect the egg in the best
possible way using only the limited materials that you have given them.
Tell them that the egg will be tested for quality control. It may be tossed
around and dropped later on. Encourage them to strategize and plan
together. Ask them to come up with a name for their group. Give them 3
minutes to do this.
During this time, go around and observe those who are actively
participating in the activity and those who are not. Note some names
of those who are involved. You can refer to them later on when
wrapping up the activity.
4. When the time is up, gather them and explain that you will call one group
at a time to challenge the egg they have prepared. Simultaneously,
have members of the group toss the egg to each other with a
considerable distance between them. Then, have each group stand in
front of the whole club to introduce themselves. Take the groups egg,
stand on a chair and drop the egg to the floor. Create as much suspense,
tension and excitement as you can. There will be 10 groups. Be conscious
of the time.
Page 40 of 80

Notice that those who participated actively in the preparation are

the ones most excited and affected by the tossing and dropping of
the egg. They are more interested in what happens to the egg
because they took part in protecting it.
BEING FORMED
EGG ACTIVITY
5. After each group has had their turn, ask them to check the condition of
the egg.
: Affirm everyone for a great time. Congratulate those who were able
to protect the egg. If there is time ask them how they were able to do
so. What strategy did they use?
6. Gather them together and get them to settle down for the wrap up.
PROCESSING THE ACTIVITY:
Have you ever read the book, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint
Exupery? (This book is usually given as book report assignments for high
school students) In this book, the Little Prince was from a different planet and
had one rose that he protected and loved very much. Then, he came to earth
and saw a whole garden full of roses just like his rose. He was disappointed
to see that his rose was not as special and as unique as he thought. But, as
one other character in the book said,
Its the time you wasted on your rose that made it so important
It was funny to see all of you so excited and worked up over an ordinary
egg. Some were nervous, others were even shouting. (Mention some names
of those you noticed were particularly involved in the activity. For example,
look at ______. He was close to tears when the egg was being dropped and
tossed around! He was so involved in the planning and wrapping of the
egg) This is because you spent time on the egg. What made the egg
different from any other egg was the time and energy you gave into
protecting it. As with anything you will ever be involved in, you will only
get what you put in. You reep what you sow.
Here in the YFC Club, we, along with your moderators and your officers,
will try our best to make the whole year fun, exciting and meaningful. Just as
what the Christian life should be --- fun, exciting and meaningful. But, you
will have to be involved. You will have to give of your time and energy. Just as
with the egg.
We dont want to waste your time. We definitely dont want to waste ours.
The only way youll ever get anything out of (the Youth Camp or) this Club
this whole school year is if you give. Thats the irony of it. Its your call.

(Dynamics of the Activity/Activity Proper)
Leadership
1. Coming up with something as beautiful and as creative as our banners
requires full attention, planning and commitment. Being able to immerse
ourselves with the project allows us to not just desire to succeed but
experience the process that leads to success.
2. Since the beginning of time, leaders have been the people who create
order. For as long as we can remember, they have been seen as role
models. These leaders strive to lead excellent lives and are driven by the
passion to fulfill their responsibilities.
3. Many times, they lose whatever moved them in the beginning when all
the fame and success get in the way of their service. A number of great
leaders end up in defeat because their involvement is not as deeply
rooted. They easily lose focus and forget the reason why they began in
the first place.
Service
1. Jesus Himself was motivated to live an excellent life. Despite all the
temptations from different elements in His surroundings, He held on to His
lifes mission.
2. Jesus was great enough to command people to follow His steps. He was
strong enough to force them to do what He wanted them to do. However,
Page 43 of 80

it was in His humble service that people were inspired to do as He did.
His simple ways touched their hearts and moved them to believe.
3. Even when He was recognized as the Son of God, He would take time out
to be with His followers. Even when He was glorified as the King of all
Kings, He would stoop low and on His hands and knees, humbly serve His
apostles.
4. With Christs great love for the world, He was able to move entire nations
to follow in His footsteps. With His faithfulness, which He held on to even
until death, He changed human life as we know it.
BEING FORMED
Servant Leaders
1. Our mission as Youth for Christ members is very important indeed. We
are blessed as stewards of Gods creation and chosen to bring to those
who are not privileged enough, the message of Gods promise.
2. However, our service may be far greater than any worldly position but it is
in serving humbly that we achieve our goal. Christ, our model, showed us
that the key to happiness is in our humility and our willingness to serve,
even the lowest of our members. Once all our efforts are coming
sincerely from our hearts, our service becomes part of our nature and we
become deeply rooted in it.
3. Let us put our hearts and our souls in this mission. Let us get involved.
Let us immerse ourselves and keep in mind that our service is to love.
Conclusion
Ours is a great mission. His is the greatest of all love. Let us be inspired
to move our lives excellently towards Him in love, in the fulfillment of our
mission, and in the humblest of all services.
For extended club periods, the activity proper and/or the time for
sharing / discussion / exhortation may be lengthened.

Experiencing Christ Within Us
We are privileged to be given all the blessings we enjoy now in our lives.
We have been given all the opportunities to grow and in the process serve
as an example for other people.
3. Christ effectively works through us whenever we achieve success in all
our endeavors (studies, relationships, other activities)
4. We are driven by the knowledge that other people support us.
5. We strive to do our best when we are aware that people appreciate what
we are doing.

Sharing Christ to Others

1. As Gods children, we have experienced the joy of serving in His kingdom.
We should take on the attitude of being an inspiration to other people, an
effective instrument in bringing others to Him.
2. This appreciation should not only be for ourselves but for others.
Page 46 of 80

3. People need affirmation from others in order for them to know that they
are affecting others in a positive way.
4. Through encouragement, we reinforce whatever good behavior they have
and provide a venue for them to properly channel their service to God and
to others.
5. Even in the event of something undesirable, we strive to see Christ in
every situation. Instead of noticing what is wrong, we focus on what we
can learn from what we do well.
Relating with Each Other as a Family in Christ
1. It is our duty to build lasting relationships with each other because we are
all working towards the same goal of sharing our experience of Christ to
others.
2. It is our privilege to be serving Him in a manner that no other person can
unless he/she believes Christ exists within.
3. Let us uphold one of the best values YFC can instill in us, the value of
honoring.
4. To honor is to recognize the significance of each other, the love of Christ
and the glory of God in each individual.
For extended club periods, the activity proper and/or the time for

Topic Outline
Trust & Reliance
1. We go through life without fully knowing what will happen next. We may
prepare for lifes challenges but there is always a big part of our future
that we have no control of. We try so hard to put our life in order but
everything but we still are not guaranteed of a 100 %, risk-free operation.
2. We dream of big things, things that are bigger than us. However, most of
the time, we lose ourselves in the pressure on ourselves. Spiritually,
physically and emotionally, we get tired. We run out of motivation and we
lose hope.
Page 49 of 80

3. God knows that we love to think big all the time. Theres no objection to
that . He created us to be dreamers. He wants us to go beyond what is
normal and step up tp the challenge of something better. But He also
wants us to recognize His hand in whatever we do.
Who do I Listen to?
1. This is why He placed us in the care of people who will love us; people
who will always be there by our side to get us through lifes obstacles. He
gave us important people to aid us in the significant stages of our lives
(studies, friendships, relationships, love life, career).
2. Aside from the people around us , He never fails to give us directly what
we need support, guidance and strength. He uses other people to give
you this but at the same time, He wants us to rely on Him too.
3. We have to recognize God as the highest authority and that He can speak
to us in many ways, most especially in prayer. We have to be patient and
to remember to be sensitive to His word.
What happens if I do not listen?
1. The most obvious thing that can happen to us if we do not listen is that
we can get hurt. We can stumble, we can bruise ourselves, and we can fall
down and fail.
2. Not listening means not accepting Gods will for us. We have to remember
that it is not His will to torture us but to purify us. Once we get through
Page 50 of 80

the obstacles, we shall come out stronger and better individuals. This is
His What He wants for us.
Gods Will
1. We know that we have listened to God and His will when we are blessed
with peace.
2. We know that we have overcome our trials when we are happy about
ourselves and about what we have done.
3. We believe that it is God who worked in us when we emerge as stronger

and better individuals. This is His will. Let us continue to pray that may
only his will always be done.
For extended club periods, the activity proper may be lengthened.

your activity venue. If possible set up a lectern. This will help them have
fun while taking the activity seriously.
2. After the opening prayer the leader introduces the activity.
3. Ask them to write their eulogies. As much as possible make them picture
the event. At the moment of their death, someone will come up in front of
everyone and give a eulogy. Ask them, If you were to write this eulogy,
what would be in it? Then, tell them to write it. Tell them that the eulogy
should only be 2 intermediate pad pages long.
4. Clarify that you are giving them only 15 minutes to do this and that they
will be asked to read this later on. It is important to tell them this so that
they will know what to expect and be able to pace themselves.
5. After the 15 minutes are up, ask them to divide into their smaller
groupings (their care groups) and have them share. Each one must be
able to share in this discussion. Again, tell them that they only have 10
minutes for this. Every once in a while announce how many more minutes
they have left.

6. When the 10 minutes are up, gather them together and tell them to
choose 1 or 2 from their groups to share in the big group. If time permits,
you can choose additional sharers. You may also ask for volunteers. Pray
and be open to the Lords prompting. He may be leading someone to
share.

1. As young people, we have so many dreams and aspirations. We plan to
succeed in life, earn money, establish a career, and live a stable and

2. However, we do not know if we can, live to see all our dreams come to

we get into an accident and all our chances of leading wonderful lives are
suddenly put to a halt?
3. Pretend you died, what do you want people to hear or to say about the life
you led? Given these circumstances, write a self-eulogy of how you want
to be remembered.
(Activity Proper)
Life is Short
1. Life is not forever. Before you know it, it has gone. We live our day to day
lives not fully aware of the things to come. We may have dreams and
Page 54 of 80

aspirations but we do not fully know if we will be able to live long enough
o see all these plans come to life.
2. Many people take for granted the time that they have now to live out
even part of their dreams thinking that there will always be time to do it
later.
3. if the of the house knew that the thief would come by night around the
certain hour, he would stay awake to prevent his house to be broken
into (Mt 24:43)
Leading Excellent Lives Now
1. We may be thinking, how significant am I that I have to do now what I
want to do in the future just to feel I am prepared for death? Every
person is significant and we affect each others lives in a manner we
cannot fully grasp. We do not know it but this early in life, we are creating
experiences and rich memory banks for each other.
2. This is why it is important for us to see what we have to at least strive for
excellence in what we do now in order to actualize even part of our
dreams and help them come to life.
3. We dont have to wait forever in order to realize that we should leave our
mark now and succeed in all our responsibilities as students,
sons/daughters, friends, brothers/sisters.
Giving Our All
1. Stay awake, then, for you do not know on what day your Lord will
come. (Mt. 24:42)
2. Let us not waste our time. Let us avoid regret while we still can. Let us act
now and believe that the Lord has placed us on this earth for a reason.
That purpose is meant to be served now and believe that the Lord has
placed us on this earth for a reason. That purpose is meant to be served
now, not yesterday, not tomorrow.
3. We study not just for ourselves but for the possibility that we can help
others more effectively. We finish our household chores not for ourselves
but for the fact that we can be excellent mothers and fathers in the
future. No matter how difficult the task is, we strive to put our efforts into
it because we know that it will benefit other people more than it will
benefit ourselves.

4. And if we are not able to reach the dreams we have set for ourselves, we
shall be at peace knowing that the lives we led were made excellent.

Living Controlled Lives
1. We are taught to always be prepared for we know not what will happen
next. This trains us to have foresight in preparation for our future.
Page 57 of 80

However, most of the time, we are caught up in planning and in making
our plans work that we lose the spirit of adventure and taking risks; we
fail to see Gods plan for us.
2. Whether it is for a particular situation or the state of our lives, we focus on
what we think is right and we think should take place.
3. Most of the time, we are not adventurous. We take control of everything
that we are blinded by what the world see fit for us and not what God
wants for us. In effect, we limit ourselves to the possibilities of this
worlds standards and not of Gods.
4. Oftentimes, we forget that we are here to carry out not our own plans but
Gods plans for us. Our purpose is not for self-gain but for Gods glory.
5. The dreams that we have, we dream them not because we want them but
because God wants us to set a standard of dreaming excellent things. If
ever these things do not fit into His plans, He has His own way of showing
us that.
God is In Control
1. The more engrossed we are in doing one thing, the more blinded we
become that we fail to see the bigger picture, we fail to recognize that

1. The talk is meant to lead the members into the prayer-healing session
later on. Since the prayer session may take much of the club time, it is
advisable not to have a game or activity for this meeting.
2. Arrange the seats in a circle wherein everyone is inside the circle. The
speaker can move around inside or sit with the group. It would be good for
the group to be in this arrangement so that there will be no need to break
the momentum and go straight to the healing session.
3. Music can play a big part in this activity. Invite a music team to assist or
prepare songs that can help the members into a prayerful mood during
the prayer-healing session. Reflection songs may be a big help as well.
Also, jubilant praise songs may be played for the mini worship after the

INTRODUCTION
Page 59 of 80

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 is not arrogant
or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it
does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (RSV 1
Corinthians 13:1-7)
Being in YFC is exciting. You get to meet many different people and travel
to different places. You get to learn and do things you have never done
before, like perform, model or act. You get to help people and serve your
brothers and sisters. But above and beyond all these things, is love. Without
love, none of these things we do in YFC means anything.
But, its not always easy to love.
a. When we are judged or misunderstood.
When people criticize you for something that you did, it hurts. You
begin to feel alone. You want to hit back.
We have to remember that hitting back never solved anything. It
only makes things worse.
Realize that we have to forgive just as Christ did when people
treated Him wrongly.
b. When the people depend on disappoint us.
Your friends, group mates, even your leaders can disappoint you. It
hurts doubly to be put down by someone you rely on and trust. You
can get disillusioned and angry and forget to love.
Understand that people make mistakes. No justification here, just
compassion and understanding, just as Christ did.
BEING FORMED
Choose to forgive.
Page 60 of 80

Realize however that forgiveness is the only way we can ever have peace.
No one has ever lived a happy peaceful life in anger and pride.
a. Seek to understand.
When someone wrongs you, seek first to understand that persons
situation. Give him/her the benefit of the doubt. Rather than
indulging in your anger and contaminating everyone else with your
anger, go find solutions.
b. Loving and being right
It is more important to protect your relationships than to have the
last say.
Everything you have ever and will ever learn in YFC is as important as
learning to love
Loving even when you are hurt, even when the person does not
deserve it.
Jesus loved us beyond measurement, without limit, even when we
didnt deserve it.
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. After a song that can create the proper environment for prayer, 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. 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.
A few reflective songs may be sung by the music team during the pray-over
which will end with a time of exuberant worship.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE
GOAL:
1. To teach and pass on the YFC culture of brotherhood/sisterhood in
friendship. (walang iwanan)
2. To exhort each one to become a better friend to others
MATERIALS:
The activity should be held in an area with enough space for racing, and
where the members can make noise.
Handkerchief
Candies or chocolates as prizes
DYNAMICS:
1. Divide the group into 2 groups of 25 members each. You can put care
groups together to form the bigger group.
2. Ask them to form a straight line with their hands on the shoulder of the
person in front of them. Then ask them to form a circle by having the first
person in the line reach out for the shoulder of the last person in that
same line.
3. Then instruct them to bend their knees and sit or lean on the lap of the
person behind them. This will be the basic stance for the whole activity.
Explain that the objective of the game is to keep the circle intact in that
stance.
4. While in this stance, each group will follow your instructions for
movement. You can make them move 3 steps back and 5 steps forward.
You can also ask them to move sideways, from left to right. You can even
ask them to go around.
Make sure each person is really leaning on the lap of the person
behind him/her. It is so easy to get away with just bending their knees.
The success of the activity lies in that they rely on each other to
maintain the circle. It is important that you make sure they follow the
stance.
5. It would be more exciting if you keep score. Award a point to a group for
each time that group accomplishes your command without breaking the
circle. In the same way, deduct points from the group that breaks the
circle.
6. Then, for the final contest. Stand up on a chair and hold out a
handkerchief. Designate a starting line and at your signal have both
Page 62 of 80

groups race to get the handkerchief from your hand. They should still be
in the basic stance.
PROCESSING THE ACTIVITY
Ask everyone to form a circle and sit with them in the circle. Tell this
story.
A few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine
contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the
starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun they all started out,
not exactly in a dash, but with the relish to run the race to the finish
and win.
All, that is, except one boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled
over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the
boy cry. They slowed down and paused. Then they all turned around
and went back. Every one of them. One girl with Downs Syndrome
bent down and kissed him and said, This will make it better. Then
all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line.
Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for 10
minutes.
In your own words, give this exhortation.
In YFC, when we talk about friendship, we mean brotherhood/sisterhood in
Christ. We may be different in many waysin the way we think and do
things, in the things we like and dont like. Many times these differences can
and will get in the way of our friendship. But, one thing we definitely have in
common is how much Jesus Christ loves us --- to death.
Jesus is the foundation of our friendship. The reason why you people are
together now is because He made it that way. That is why, we should make a
commitment to care enough to go back for someone who has fallen behind,
to care enough to stop whatever it is were doing and to see and attend to
one who has been hurt. Because thats how Jesus defined friendship --laying ones life for a friend ( ). In YFC, others will come first. We will think
of our friends before we think of ourselves.
Being alone is a painful experience. It is everyones fear to be rejected
and unwanted. Thats why we try so hard to fit in.
Let us make it our prayer that in this YFC Club, we will be known for being
real friends to each other and to other people --- where everyone will have a
place, where everyone will belong, no one will be judged or laughed at or
Page 63 of 80

made fun of --- that you will be known to have true friendships. Comrades.
Kasangga. Kakampi.
That is how they will know you are mineif you love one another (
Then, ask them to lay their hand on the person to their right and pray for
them. Make a commitment to that person that you will be a real brother or
sister, the way God intended you to be. Pray that they be real friends to the
people around them.

God has called us in Youth for Christ to a highly evangelistic life.
We are called to make a radical response to Jesus directive stated
in Mt. 28:19 Go out and make disciples of all nations.
Therefore, YFC club aims to bring its members into the level of
being empowered and commissioned to share Christ to their
fellow students in their own school.
Being sent means
To inspire the members with the vision of witnessing and
sharing Christ in the local school by addressing the following:
a. school issues (e.g. cheating, excellence in studies,
integrity, sexuality)
b. work with the poor (e.g. resource generation)
c. evangelization (e.g. youth camps)
To give young people a sense of purpose & mission, as
they see themselves being used by the Lord to make a
difference in the lives of other students in their local school.

Introduction
There are a lot of good ideas and good plan that we have seen gone to
waste. Which makes us wonder why? God gave us the gift of intellect for us
to be able to be excellent in everything that we do. He wants us to be
successful but He does not want to spoil us by doing all the work for us! We
have to do our share. Any successful activity can be attributed to good
planing techniques or process. The process of planning is as important as
the idea itself. The process actualizes the idea!
Characteristics of a Good Plan
1. Is Organized
A good plan must be very well organized and easy to understand. Clearly
define the different stages, establish the strategies and actions, and state
the responsibility for the completion of each action.
2. Fulfills the needs of the group
The members must receive the some benefits like learning new skills or
simply enjoying the satisfaction of helping others.
Page 66 of 80

3. Offers the opportunity for each member of the group to
contribute with his skills
Each member must be able to identify some activities in the plan to which
he can contribute his particular talents. Al task must be divided among
the members according their abilities, skill, and desires. Avoid
overloading some skilled members and leaving others who want to help
without anything to do.
4. Is achievable
A
good
plan
must
be
practicable
and
indicate
that
is
achievable. Members of the group must believe in the possibilities and
success of the plan. They must be able to see the goals and the final
results they will help to achieve.
5. Is simple
The language of the plan must be simple to be readily understood by
every member of the team without consulting a specialist.
6. I clear specific and precise
The plan must indicate quantities, deadlines, quality responsibilities, cost
etc.

PROJECT PLANNING
7. Is flexible
Things may change after the plan is completed. The plan must be flexible
to adapt to changes.
8. Must be complete
The plan must include all possible details. Nothing should be left to the
imagination or chance. All circumstance must be considered.
Conclusion
After the plan has been completed, it should be offered to the Lord for He
is the source of all wisdom. Since we can never be 100% sure that we are
doing His will, we have to invoke Gods presence in everything that we plan
to do. So that God will bless us and if the plans are not according to His will,
then He will just redirect us. (Prov. 3:6)

destination. If the captain does not know how to manage the trip then the
ship cannot reach its destination or if ever it can reach its destination it
would have taken them quite a while. This is the reason why it is important
for us to be good project managers as early as now if we want to be
successful in our studies or even for our future career
Critical areas for good project management
1. An over-all goal should be known
2. Specific objectives (key result areas) should be identified to achieve the
overall goal of the project distributed in a time line
Page 69 of 80

3. The specific objectives should follow a logical build up pattern
4. The resource for the project should be identified
How to manage the project
1. Deadlines are important. If one deadline is not met then the whole
project is affected.
2. Motivate the people who are working. Rally them to the final goal of the
project and that their contribution is as important as the highest -ranking
worker is.
3. Make adjustments after evaluating the progress of the work
4. Being early, from the deadline is not always good. Timing is important.
5. Know in advance the needs of the project at a particular time of the work
schedule.
6. If there are delays, try to address the problem without affecting other key
result area. Isolate the situation
7. Be flexible in the unexpected results or unexpected difficulties.
Attitude of a good project manger

Be patient. Since you are following a programmed work schedule, do not

allow panic to set in.
Yes to Gods direction. Yielding to His leading which simply means one is
open and obedient.
Keep your cool. Situation may get out of hand. It is important for people
to see that the manager is composed in times of difficulties.
Do not be overconfident although we have to trust that God has prepared
a victory for us
Conclusion
Individuals who have good discipline, dependable and can see things in
perspective, makes good project managers. All can become one, we just
have to be true to our dependency upon God and have the confidence that
God is always with us!

UNAMBITIOUS LEADERSHIP
Topic Outline
Lets take a look at the important balance between natural and spiritual
leadership. A leader, obviously, must have some God-given natural qualities
that cause others to respond to his or her influence. At the same time, the
Christian leader must possess a marked degree of Spirit-directed humble
devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ...before he falls into a self-appointed,
ambitious individual who simply loves the spotlight (give examples).
A true and safe leader is likely to be one who has no desire to lead, but is
forced into position of leadership by the inward pressure of the Holy Spirit
and the pressure of external situation (give examples like David, Moses, Paul
etc.) It might be a fairly reliable rule of thumb that the man who is ambitious
to lead is disqualified to lead. God makes it His responsibility to prepare,
nurture, train and promote certain people into leadership. Thats His
business, not ours. (Read Jer. 45:5)
All of us here are gifted, capable and qualified to lead, but God has not yet
promoted you. A warning against selfish ambition: Quietly and in subtle
ways you can manipulate others to notice you, to be impressed with you.
God knows what He is doing. You just remain faithful, flexible, available and
humble. God is preparing you as His chosen arrow, He will reach for you at
the precise moment and launch you to that place of His appointment!

MARKETING ESSENTIALS TO CHRISTIAN LIFE

Topic Outline
INTRODUCTION
Christ has lost His central place in peoples lives. Most people especially
the young think of Him as the consolation of the dying, the sick and the
hopeless.
Page 73 of 80

People, who claim to represent him, misrepresent him by the negative
image people project about Him. Christian brothers molesting boys, Jimmy
Swaggart seen in a prostitution den etc, are just some concrete examples of
people who misrepresented Jesus. As a result, people get turned off.
Jesus has lost ground. No television shows or movies are made about
Him. Less and less people talk about Him. Fewer books written about Him
are becoming bestsellers. Jesus has lost His centrality in homes, schools,
offices and the mass media.
Our goal is to bring Christ back in His central place in our lives. Our
methodology is to market the best product in the world Jesus Christ through
revolutionary techniques.
MARKETING CHRIST AND THE FOUR Ps OF MARKETING
We are all marketing people. Whether it be in sharing and idea with a
friend, asking a girl out or convincing our parents to buy us a cellphone, we
are unconciously marketing ourselves or our ideas with others.
CFC is geared towards the work for total human liberation. We are
establishing a church of the home and a church of the poor through our work
of evangelization and social communications. The community is coming up
with a lot of exciting and radical strategies to win the world for Christ. We
want to create more excitement in the church today.
THE FOUR Ps
1. Product
We have the best product of all Jesus Christ

We offer new life, new hope and new opportunities
2. Promotions
Through our different programs and activities (youth camp, power

camp, conferences, etc) we should be able to project an exciting
Christian life.
Do you strongly believe in the product, enough to die for it.
There is a lot of competition in a world which is after material success
and comfort, we need to make our lives attractive so that others will
choose to live the way we do.

MARKETING WORKSHOP
3. Place/Distribution
The best way by which we can market Christ is through the way we
live. Are we becoming good witnesses of Christ?
Page 74 of 80

We are the best distribution network of Jesus Christ

We need to convert our 1Million strong membership into effective
evangelizers who are in touch with people
4. Price
The product is free for our taking but we need to spend our whole lives
telling others about Jesus. He is too good to be kept to ourselves.
The only way by which we can get more of Him is by sharing Him with
others.
CONCLUSION
The way we live our lives is our best marketing tool. Invest on worthwhile
and meaningful relationships and activities. Do not rest until your goal is
done. If people see you, will they follow you?

Introduction
Our job... to take territories from Satan and bring them back to the Lord.
God is truly making us an army.
Ezekiel 37: 1 and ff The Valley of Dry Bones
We used to be a valley of dry bones but through Gods anointing we have
become a vast army ready to conquer the world for Him. Yes! Thats what
we
are! - a VAST ARMY!
Paradise lost
Problem: We didnt see things the way God wants us to see them.
(State basic issues in the newspaper or magazines to clearly describe
this).
No value for life - abortion, violence
No value for marriage - pre-marital sex
Paradise Regained
(How do we grow with the vision?)
1. Claim that the victory of God can happen now and for the rest of our lives.
Deal with all the basic issues of our lives. (e.g. family, friends, lovelife)
2. Believe that you are anointed! Because of this, we are accountable for
every soul that we tried and we didnt try to get.
3. Do not waste time. Whenever we waste time, we waste every single drop
of blood that Jesus shed for us.
4. Believe in the cause of Christ - that God has a beautiful plan for us. And
He can restore that plan by cooperating with Him in making this world a
better place to live in our own small ways as YFC members.
Conclusion
May the God of hope fill you with all joy in believing so that you may
abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
