Happy new year everyone!<br />
Happy New You!<br />
I pray and claim that 2019 will<br />
be our year <strong>of</strong> breakthrough and<br />
victory. A year <strong>of</strong> stepping out <strong>of</strong><br />
fear and accomplishing our dreams.<br />
A year <strong>of</strong> peace and prosperity. A<br />
year <strong>of</strong> amazing service and relentless<br />
love.<br />
I am excited as 2019 is <strong>the</strong> year<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> youth! I declare that this<br />
will be our year! Tapos na ang<br />
panahon ng hearbreak, this will be<br />
a year that we will be made whole<br />
through <strong>the</strong> radical and reckless love<br />
<strong>of</strong> GOd. Tapos na ang panahon na<br />
iniisip mo na ikaw ay limited, it’s<br />
time to proclaim that we are God’s<br />
Beloved, we are privileged to be<br />
His mighty servant, and that we<br />
are empowered to be His powerful<br />
champion!<br />
Iwan mo na ang dapat mong iwan<br />
sa 2018, I declare a NEW YOU this<br />
2019. A better, greater, bolder,<br />
stronger, wiser and a good lookinger<br />
(pinilit ko lang para lahat may er)<br />
you! Get ready for your amazing<br />
and wonderful new year.<br />
Be mightily blessed,<br />

A look back in our year 2018<br />
Fullness: How to Begin with <strong>the</strong> And in Mind<br />
Fullness <strong>of</strong> life happens when we acknowledge<br />
that blessings come in <strong>the</strong> “in-betweens”<br />
because when Jesus died for us, He already<br />
tore <strong>the</strong> veil and made a way.<br />
Loud: Listening to <strong>the</strong> Voices <strong>of</strong> Today<br />
Regardless <strong>of</strong> our generation, we have to<br />
walk beside each o<strong>the</strong>r, express <strong>the</strong> love <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Lord, and expand and spread this love to<br />
everybody through commitment and service.<br />
Unleashed: Breaking Free From <strong>the</strong> Shackles <strong>of</strong><br />
Unforgiveness<br />
We are already free in God. He easily forgives<br />
us when we repent, so we should also forgive<br />
ourselves and our neighbor. Doing so will give<br />
us peace and set us free.<br />
OFW: Overcoming Family Worries<br />
God is always with us, so we are never alone.<br />
He will help us with our plans and dreams for<br />
our family, and He will restore what is broken<br />
and turn things into good.<br />
Superpower: The Fire to Live A Great Life<br />
The Holy Spirit is our friend, our helper,<br />
comforter and prayer partner. Having <strong>the</strong><br />
gifts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit is necessary, but<br />
<strong>the</strong>y don’t matter if we don’t produce <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
fruits. We are nothing without love.<br />
Workaholyc: Taking Charge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Daily Grind<br />
We learned that that OT is not life and God<br />
is our boss! Our work and worship don’t have<br />
in-betweens, and that taking charge <strong>of</strong> our<br />
daily grind is easier with God in <strong>the</strong> center.
News Feed: How to Really Connect<br />
When we connect with people, we have to be<br />
genuine by removing <strong>the</strong> unnecessary filters<br />
and by setting aside envy. We always need to<br />
choose God’s voice, so we may connect well,<br />
not only with God, but also with people.<br />
Breaking News: Your Story According To…<br />
4 evangelists wrote <strong>the</strong> journey <strong>of</strong> Jesus<br />
here on earth, and through <strong>the</strong>se gospels, we<br />
understood that God has bigger plans, He is<br />
doing something new, He is chasing us, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>se are all because He is so into us.<br />
Bleedership: How Leadership is Sacrifice<br />
A great leader is just like Jesus. Regardless<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> position, he or she is a good influence.<br />
However, to be one, we need to lose<br />
something, acknowledge our struggles, connect<br />
with people, and understand that we live in a<br />
place bigger than ourselves.<br />
I Believe: Created. Redeemed. Empowered.<br />
We believe in one God in three personas.<br />
We believe in our Fa<strong>the</strong>r in heaven, who will<br />
always love us even if we continually sin. He<br />
sent His only son Jesus, who redeemed us,<br />
and washed away our sins. He wants to be<br />
our best friend. Jesus left His Holy Spirit to<br />
empower us in experiencing <strong>the</strong> fullness <strong>of</strong> life<br />
<strong>the</strong> Lord wants us to have<br />
G: Winning <strong>the</strong> Game <strong>of</strong> Money<br />
In winning <strong>the</strong> game <strong>of</strong> money <strong>the</strong> Jesus way,<br />
we have to recognize our God-given gifts and<br />
reach our dreams by getting our goals through<br />
grit. Our purpose should not be in vain, but<br />
ra<strong>the</strong>r for God’s Kingdom here on earth.
#ThankYouJesusMoments for 2018!<br />
Thank You, Jesus sa blessing na binigay Mo<br />
sa’kin noong 2018, which is, ‘yung lagi kong<br />
dasal sayo: nakapag-apprenticeship ako... Thank<br />
you rin sa The Feast SM Manila dahil andiyan<br />
kayo lagi sa mga oras na down ako. –Mark<br />
Jairo Paderogao<br />
This 2018, naging part ako ng JGC Philippines<br />
(MyTargetCompany) as a Mechanical Engineer.<br />
And finally, I became a part <strong>of</strong> spiritual<br />
community through The Feast SM Manila.<br />
Grabe ang journey <strong>of</strong> failure, disappointment at<br />
confusion before I realized that those things are<br />
pathways for more blessings to come this year!<br />
Praise God! -Neilryan Nunez<br />
Thank You, Jesus dahil kumpleto kaming nagcelebrate<br />
ng mga special occasions, sa stability<br />
ng financial status ng family namin, sa mga<br />
successful projects sa work, sa regularization<br />
ko, sa mga bagong spiritual sisters who are<br />
always willing to pray for me, sa mga kaibigan<br />
na nag-stay at hindi nagsasawang mahalin ako,<br />
sa chance na makatulong sa nangangailangan,<br />
at sa ‘di Mo pagsuko lalo na sa mga oras na<br />
nawawalan na ako ng gana sa buhay. -Marla<br />
Eniong<br />
Kahit sobrang hirap ng mga nangyari sa buhay<br />
ko, blessed pa rin ako. God removed what<br />
needed to be removed, and added what needed<br />
to be added. Nakakuha pa ako ng scholarship<br />
for my masters, which was way more than I<br />
expected -Ruemer Santillan<br />
I started <strong>the</strong> year with fears and doubts that I<br />
would be able to write a research paper. Now,<br />
by <strong>the</strong> grace <strong>of</strong> God, I will be presenting my<br />
research paper in an international conference<br />
this March 2019! -Faith Jovellanos<br />
I’m 4th year and college, and I’ve been through<br />
a lot <strong>of</strong> emotional breakdowns due to a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
school works and personal problems. I thought I<br />
wasn’t going to make it, but little did I know<br />
that I would be ending my final and toughest<br />
first semester with a high GWA! I am thankful<br />
for <strong>the</strong> gift <strong>of</strong> family and friends, and for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
support. And I am thankful for my faith in<br />
Jesus Christ who streng<strong>the</strong>ns me. -Karl Robles
