Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
Psalm 2:8
The name โ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ถ ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ตโ means โ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐โ, but this economic heart of Vietnam has yet to know the Light of this world.
So, let's partner with our Expeditioner through prayer as she goes! Prayer Points:
- Pray for God's favor that she will pass through immigration smoothly.
- Pray for divine connections in Vietnam.
- Safety and protection as she and another Expeditioner does a prayer walk
- Godly wisdom and discernment on what the Lord wants them to do in Ho Chi Minh
Luke 15: 4-6
4 โSuppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesnโt he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, โRejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.โ
More than 3 billion people do not even know they are lost. Let's not forget the unreached. Groan for them. Greet them in your neighborhood. Gather people, so more are aware of the lost here in the Philippines and beyond. Give and partner with our workers in the field. Go to where the unreached are. May we have the heart of the Shepherd, longing to find the lost and bring them home.
Isaiah 45:22
โTurn to Me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
Declare this over every nation you know, Expeditioner. It is about time that every tribe turns to our Lord Jesus and is saved from sin and death.
Praise the Lord; He gave EVERY NATION the chance to be saved! How can we share this good news to those nations? Anyone willing?
------------------------
Acts 10:34-35 Then Peter began to speak: โI now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, โSet apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.โ 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
Acts 16:2-3
New year, same command:
Be a light and share the Good News of salvation to every tribe.

Jesus is the reason why nations are being loved, prayed, and saved. We thank God for the hope he has given and grace he has poured, and we will continue to go beyond borders so that more people will get to experience His unfailing love.
Merry Christmas! โค๏ธโ๐ฅ

The most awaited season is coming.
24 days to go before Christmas!
As we celebrate this season, let us always remember (and share ๐) the reason for this season, Jesus Christ.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; -Isaiah 9:6a
"From M, one of our Expeditioners who was able to go to Indonesia
Going to Indonesia, I just prayed that God would allow me to see His heart.
Our first ministry was to do a prayer walk around the campus of UKSW, which we learned was actually a Christian school because it has a department for theology majors. Nonetheless, the school's major population consists of Muslim students and staff and fewer than zero Christian workers. We passed a spot in the campus where there was a big cross, and Ka Yoshi, our local friend who is also a Christian, told us a story connected to that big cross. He said that long ago, there was a psychology student who they'd discovered was an atheist. That student tore off pages of the Bible and buried it on that very spot where the cross was placed. Days went by, and the student became crazy and wasn't able to graduate because of what had happened. For me, it was so scary standing in front of the cross and I got chills after I've learned about the story.
As we were about to wrap up our prayers, I heard a still small voice for the very first time. And it said, ""This was originally Mine"". It troubled me because I didn't know what it meant. We went back to our dorm, and I prayed to God that He would give clarity to what He really meant.
The next day, we facilitated English club sessions in a government junior high school in Salatiga. Although I was so nervous as it was my first time to handle an actual class,I praise Jesus for His help. We taught ninth-grade students the elements of a story, using the Parable of the Prodigal Son as an example. Now, it was not an accident we shared it with them because that's when God spoke to me again in a very small voice, saying, ""They are originally Mine"". I could never imagine that moment, a moment of breaking and trying to grasp the Word of God. It actually connected to the parable, and for the first time, I felt the Father's heart. God longs for His children to come back to Himโthe children, the students, the people in Indonesia. He is crying and longing for them to come back to His arms. God would willingly embrace them like the prodigal son coming back to his father.
All throughout the days we spent in Salatiga, Indonesia, there was never a day where God reminded me of His heart for the people. Why Indonesia? The answer remains the same, no matter where it is: God loves the world for which He gave His only begotten Son. It was worth it to send Jesus, so that His lost children can come back to where they were originally createdโback to His embrace.
The challenge is who would dare to look for God's heart? To those who accept His calling, know that He promised to be with us. Now that we know His heart, heard His command, and have His promise, what more do we need? Let's ride every wave until the whole earth knows His Name that saves.
When we go, we do it with the LORD. We share; HE SAVES.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:14

๐Missions and salvation of all people is God's plan, will, heart, and dream.
๐In the great commission, Jesus commands us to reach all peoples in the world.
๐People without Jesus are eternally lost and Jesus is the only one who can save them.
So, let us continually pray for the salvation of those who haven't heard the gospel yet.

NextGen Chi Alpha Expeditions Ph
WHAT ARE OUR MAIN GOALS?
Love God & Disciple Nations. Our main goal is for our young people to know God, love God, and wholeheartedly obey God. Everything we do in Expeditions must always point back to this priority. Out of the overflow from an intimate and growing relationship with Jesus, we are then able to go and do the work God has prepared for us to do.
