Community Service- Jesus' Model
I have seen different approaches in reaching out to people to share the Good News about Jesus. It can be through cold contacts-people in the street, in mass transportation,fast food restaurants, parks, malls and other public places.It can also be through spending time with a group of friends or setting up a group activity to build a relationship with the people your trying to reach out to,may it be going to the movies or just hanging out.Another is through community service,much like Jesu's ministry.
When I moved to the province the cold contact method did not pan out.Most of the people I approached were scared or disinterested. Some would run away at the sight of the Bible,just recently I studied with someone in the mall who kept on pushing it away when I was showing a scripture,anyhow she let me do it.But it is not all in vain because when brothers and sisters from the missionary journey campaign came to invite people to attend the Sunday Service, someone responded in the person of Raymond Mora!
Our missionary team then decided to create more activities that will cater to the community and thus an avenue for proclaiming God's words.
Our first attempt was the feeding program held twice a week with the indigent and undernourished Kinder, Grade 1 and SPED students of the Lucena West I Elementary School. The program ran for the entire school year 2011 until March 2012. We saw close to 50 kids hurry to the HE (Home Economics) room with their moms to assist the volunteers in the first few weeks of the program.Attendance fluctuated and the moms did not reappear but we went on.
From that effort, the church have developed good dynamics with the school and it resulted with more programs.While volunteers are serving, God was making the seed grow in the heart of a teacher! Teacher Jercel , who would become one of the missionary's colleagues (Dianne who is now a DepEd teacher too). She was baptized in Christ today after about 2 years since the feeding program,October 6, 2013,which is also my birthday. Indeed it became a double celebration!
Another program that was sponsored by the church was the Health Through Awareness Seminar. It was conceived through the idea that people nowadays are more conscious about their health as more and more people are contracting dreadful diseases.We were joined by Dra. Milpa Fernandez (Anesthesiologist at Pangasinan Provincial Hospital) and Ms. Irene (Nutritionist-Dietitian at Lucena United Doctors Hospital and Medical Center). Renda's friend Elaine, who is a nurse was one of the volunteer nurses who helped obtain vitals of the attendees.She responded to God's call and became a disciple after a few months.Another volunteer nurse was her best friend Jennifer who followed suit soon after she got baptized.
Celebrating special events like Valentine's and church anniversaries were also geared towards having a great time with friends and families. In one of the Valentine's day themes, we had an acoustic performance,snacks and games. Friends of friends came and we were able to invite them again to other fun time activities until they became at ease with the group and a lot of them eventually studied the Bible.Unlike the others who didn't continue on, Erma and Rhona persisted. Renda had already invited Erma way way back to study the Bible but she didn't respond back then. However this second time around,she continued to take part in some of the activities in the church and invited her friends too, one of whom in turn invited Rhona who eventually became a disciple. Both just wanna have fun but in the process found the Lord, what a blessing!.
We still have a lot of activities and may God use them powerfully to reach out to people, not only meeting their needs on the outside but eventually find out that, God first and foremost want to draw them close to Himself.

Learning English
My goal in writing posts under this Label (Learning English),since I cannot make a separate Page for it, is to gather helpful online resources that:
A Evaluate
1.)evaluate the level of English of the students who want to continue practicing English
2.)diagnostics for those who are just beginning to learn English as their second language.
3.)tools to evaluate learning after taking a certain course.
Evaluation is very important.It can help in determining the level of understanding and the materials or methodologies that need to be employed to aid learning.I believe that it will also help to motivate the learner.
B Guide
1.Provide links,resources of helpful tips based on evaluation results
My Favorite sites for level tests are the following:
1.Exam English Free Practice Tests for learners of English
You have two level tests options: the Grammar & vocabulary level test and Listening level test. After getting your result,you can check to see what grammar you should know at each level.It's very useful because you'll know what to focus on in your English lessons.
2. ABAEnglish.com - Your online English course for real life
This is a great website for learning English in your own pace through video classes,short movies,exercises and pronunciation practice using their LRC (Listen ,record and compare) speech recognition technology. Registration is free but to get full access of their tools you have to upgrade to Premium subscription. I had tried the free lessons and it was great! I didn't hear my voice though, during the playback of my recording,but I didn't bother to look into it anymore.
