Worship sessions, skits, spirit filled talks and games were given to the participants, based around this year’s theme, “Relentless” to reignite the passion for Jesus in the youth. During the half day event, the young people heard faith testimonials from the speakers. Bishop Honesto Ongtioco talked about the wrong notion of love while Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle in his inspirational message challenged the youth of today to pass on the faith and not to pass on vices, hardness of heart, discrimination, injustice and fear. He said, “Start while still young in spreading Jesus to others.” One of the participants said, “Because of my sickness I am a burden to my family. But during the talk I realized how God loves me and how He took good care of me through my mother. I need to give importance to what He has given me - my life. I need to pray and cling to Him to overcome these difficulties in life.” Another one said, “I was able to relate to a particular group called Nuggets when they gave their testimony. Like me they have gone through so many trials in life but they were able to surpass it by their faith in God.”
