II. YFC CAMPUS BASED

A. RATIONALE

True to the commission of Christ, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21), CFC Youth for

Christ (YFC) truly empowers the youth not only to be good Christian men and women, but also, to

spread the good news and “renew the face of the earth.”

Sadly, many factors in this world result in the diminishing support of a Christian environment at home.

This offers little help to the youth, who are already in need of much support and guidance. More and

more young people today are being pressured into entering immoral relationships, learning to cheat and

steal, joining gangs and literally “dying” in the very place where they are meant to learn a nd live, simply

because there is no real exciting alternative to choose from.

Moreover, there is an ongoing battle for the hearts and minds of young people today. The values of the

youth are now being wrongly influenced by different elements in society (e.g. the promotion and

toleration of abortion, premarital sex, rebellion to family and parents, corruption among student

leaders, to name a few).

In order to counter these threats, there has to be a massive evangelization and re-evangelization of the

youth today especially in the captured market within the campuses/schools. Every young person today

should know the joy of receiving the gift of salvation and of living a dynamic personal relationship with

Jesus Christ. However, this is not easy because of the many distractions, pressures and diversions that

are pulling young people away from the plan of God.

Hence, there poses a greater challenged and an urgent response to provide a healthy and exciting

environment in college campuses, where faith among students can flourish, and bonds of friendship,

brotherhood and sisterhood with other young men and women can be formed.

YFC Campus Based is CFC Youth for Christ’s official evangelization program based within College or

University level campuses. It is affiliated with the Couples for Christ Global Mission Foundation and the

network of its family ministries within the Philippines and abroad. It caters to students in their tertiary

level of education – those through with their secondary or highschool level, and is pursuing further

education in these campuses.

In order to be effective in its evangelization efforts, YFC Campus Based seeks to provide (a) a point of

conversion / re-conversion where a young person can grow as man or woman of God and be

encouraged to take responsibility and gain leadership as they lead others to God as well; and (b) a

program that accepts the vibrancy, energy, dynamism and free-spirit of the youth, and strives to re-

channel this youthful spirit for use in the mission of building God’s kingdom in their homes and

campuses.

B. CAMPUS BASED DREAM

We dream of a society very different from what it is today. People believe that this is impossible and yetwe continue to pray hard and reach for this dream. We dream of a day when husbands will be faithful

to their wives and children. Fathers will protect instead of abuse their children. Doctors will preserve


5/188

5

life, instead of abort it. Governments will serve its people, instead of exploit it. There will be less crime

because businessmen will not push their employees into the kind of poverty that breeds crime.

We believe this dream can be realized through our work in the campuses. We firmly hold on to the

hope that if we Christianize the values of the future lawyers, doctors, businessmen and professionals,

government leaders today, while they are still students in the campuses, where their values are being

formed, this vision can turn into reality.

C. CAMPUS BASED VERSE

The Mission and Vision of YFC Campus is based on the words of Scripture, to "Unite all things in Christ"

(Ephesians. 1:10). It is a response to the call of our Church leadership and our Universities and colleges

to proclaim Christ to all men, believing that change can truly happen with a united effort and consistent

transformation.

D. YFC CAMPUS BASED VISION

A Renewed and Society in Christ through the Campuses

E. VISION STATEMENT

Driven by the Holy Spirit, transformed by the love of Christ, and one with the Catholic Church,

YFC Campus Based is a youth ministry of Couples for Christ that renews the society by raising

servant leaders grounded on Christian values, witnessing God through the campuses.

F. YFC CAMPUS BASED MISSION

Empowering God’s Witnesses in the Campuses that will transform the Society

G. MISSION STATEMENT

We are YFC Campus Based. We are committed to live in God’s righteousness and holiness, evangelizing

university students through a life of love and service; we shall work for the renewal of the youth that

will embrace God and His commission, build generations of Christian leaders, in the pursuit of making

our studies relevant to our commitment to the society and to God.

H. YFC CAMPUS BASED CULTURE

YFC Campus Based aims to teach its members how to live a secure and Christian life. This is done

through reinforcing the YFC seven (7) identities that are being reflected through different teachings

within the ministry. The YFC seven (7) identities are:

a) Being a Missionary

This is our distinct desire to deepen the living out of our Christian faith for the love and

service for others. It is an expression of our great appreciation to the work of evangelization,

formation and mission of our community, taking it as our duty, our call and our privilege. We

want our youth members to be missionaries by heart, allowing them to be true evangelizers,

introduce His love as their top priority in life.

b)

Source of Unity to the FamilyThis is our deep aspiration to uphold unity a nd God’s plan for the family and for His

domestic church. We want all our YFCs to be a source of love and healing in whatever

brokenness their families might be experiencing. We want them to be a source of peace and an


6/188

6

advocate of love and in promoting better relationships. We believe that all our YFCs should be

active in their homes doing their responsibilities and acting out their roles as members in theirown respective families.

c) Model of Excellence

This is our yearning for personal holiness in our work with Christ. Our focus is to develop

and hone our own talents and skills for God’s glory and mission. Our goal is to be excellent in all

our endeavors, encouraging them to be excellent in every aspect of their lives, especially in their

studies, work, mission fields and in being good sons and daughters to their family.

d) Single-minded for God

Our desire is to form men and women who will whole-heartedly minister and serve God.

Our goal is to uphold and appreciate the importance of loving and following the teachings of

Jesus in becoming His true followers and disciples. Through this we aim to understand our call

and vocation, following only the plan and purpose of God to our lives.

e) 100% Free

This is rooted in our desire to protect life for the continuance o f God’s work. Our goal is to instill

the Christian lifestyle among the youth by emphasizing on the sacredness of life and defend the

culture of life vs. the culture of death.

f) Champion of the Poor

This is our desire to protect the value and dignity of the poor by putting out faith into

complete action. Our goal is to bring out our heroism as ordinary men and women imbibing the

value of unity and team work in order to exude love for the poor. Through this we are

establishing caring relationships and upholding the value of selfless giving and sharing.

g) Patriotic

This is our desire to cradle our love for God in active love for our country. Our goal is to

strengthen the value of excellence, dedication and total commitment in making a difference in

the lives of others and contribute greatly in making this world a better place for the future.

The YFC seven (7) identities are incorporated through the culture of the program. YFC Campus Based has

aims to teach and instill these three cultures: Culture of Passion, Integrity and Excellence into the life

and growth of the youth in the campuses.

Culture of Passion.

A culture of Passion for the Lord: A cliché but a true meaning of the identity of YFC campus

based. It means the willingness to bear the zeal of focusing on the Lord and what the Lord is asking

for us to do. To have a culture of passion also means being champions of the poor and being

patriotic not only towards their campuses but also towards the country. To be in a culture of passion

means expressing our love for the Lord by having a missionary heart at all times.

Culture of Integrity.

A culture of Integrity is a culture where every student should uphold, understand, and live

out. These days it is a shaken issue of every student, where from time to time many have been

tested on it. It is a test of character and valued. YFC aims to create a culture where their Christ-like


7/188

7

values are not compromised for worldly wants. In YFC Campus Based, we are formed to be firm in

our faith and in the things that we believe in, living it out in the different aspects of our lives.

The struggle of being pure and chaste also defines the battle in the different campuses. The

transformation of many people who are now freed from the bondage of vices and sins serves as the

living example of Christ love through brotherhood and sisterhood. A campus based member should

be proud to share his/her conviction of being 100% Free.

It is in this culture that we set our minds that the Lord deserves nothing more but the best

of us. Thus, exemplifying to be single minded for God at all times.

Culture of Excellence.

A culture of Excellence is our way showing how we do our mission and live our life for the

Lord. Both excellences in studies and in service is one way of showing other people how great God is

in our lives. Each campus based member is called to be a model of excellence in their campuses –

striving to be the best that they can be.

However, embodying the culture of excellence not only in our studies and service but it also

means bringing it in our families. As we become the best sons/daughters we can be at home will

make us an instrument of being a source of unity in our family.

III. STARTING UP YFC CAMPUS BASED

A. STEPS IN STARTING YFC IN THE CAMPUSES

1. BUILD A TEAM / FORM A CORE GROUP

Look and gather for possible existing YFC members in the Campus. Coordinate

with the other YFC Programs in the area and look for their members list for a

possible contact person to start the YFC Campus Program. These YFC members

may be potential and can be appointed as leaders for the initial start – up Identify Key people in the campus that can help in opening the campus

Alumni members of the campus

Members of the community who are part of the campus.

2. PREPARE AND PRESENT

a. Prepare all necessary materials for presentation

YFC primer

Proposal Letter

Endorsement letter (from alumni / community members that are part of the

school) if needed

b. Set an appointment with the Campus Administration for the presentation – this may be

done by the Campus Program Volunteer, Campus Program Head, Couple CoordinatorNOTE: The presentation should be done at the very start of the academic year so that the administration will

have enough time to go over the materials.c. After meeting with the administration, ALWAYS TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING

DETAILS for future follow ups:

Names of direct contact Person within the Campus


8/188

8

Telephone numbers and e-mail address (if any) of the campus

3. ESTABLISH AND EXPAND

a. Appoint initial leaders in the Campus (President, Senior Sister Etc.) and establish initial

structure in the campus both pastoral and functional.

b. Coordinate with the Campus Moderator and conduct the following:

Expectation Setting

Orientation on the basics of YFC and Campus Based Program

c. Integrate the appointed leaders to the existing campus household in the area headed by

the Campus Program Volunteer / Campus Sector/Provincial/Country Youth Head /

Couple Coordinator

d. The Campus Core then plan the program of activities for the year with the guidance of

the Campus Program Volunteer assigned to them and with proper coordination and

involvement of the assign Campus Moderator.NOTE: The Campus Calendar of Activities and YFC National Calendar of Activities should be considered in

plotting the activities inside the campus.e. Gather all existing YFC members (strategize membership campaign through room to

rooms, setting up registration table, flyers etc…) Divide the present membership into

Households. Establishing households are crucial to the work in the campus.

f. Conduct initial Prayer Meetings (refer to the Prayer Meeting Guide and Checklist)

g. Once the regularity of households and prayer meetings becomes stable. The Campus

may plan on conducting a Youth camp (refer to the Youth Camp Manual)

B. SUSTENANCE STRATEGY FOR YFC CAMPUS BASED PROGRAM

To ensure the attendance and participation of YFC Campus Based members, strategies may be

created in order to sustain them in the program. This sustenance can be ensured through:

1. Building a relationship and identifying a hang-out place (if available) where YFC can be found

anytime.

2. Setting a regular household meeting for it to be a primary point of gathering of the YFC

Campus Based members. Be guided by the YFC Household Manual for choice of topics.

3. Regularity of Prayer Meeting. You may find topics in the YFC Chapter Assembly Manual.

4. Seeking for Campus Recognition and Accreditation so as to conduct university wide activities.

5. Working with other organizations for possible partnerships and tie ups.

6. Implementation of all YFC formation and training tracks.

C. LEVELS OF GROWTH WITH STRUCTURE

YFC Campus groups vary in different levels depending on their growth as a group in their

campus. This is done for the following reasons:

a. To give the group goals to work for. This will give them a sense of achievement and growth.

(In essence, this can serve as a motivation for the group to reach greater heights).

b. To ensure that the basic culture of YFC Campus is observed.

c. To provide easy reference as to the size and general capability of each YFC-Campus group

Below is a diagram of each structure and the conditions of how a campus will be categorized as

such. Campuses should make sure that they are following the guidelines and principles in terms

of expanding their structural growth.

STRUCTURE WITHIN THE CAMPUS

1. HOUSEHOLD LEVEL

Household level is defined as the first level in the growth of a campus. There are no solid

base members yet. The president is being established as required by the school ADMIN in

acquiring recognition of the program. The president, together with the senior sister, conducts

households with the members. YFC is in process as an organization within the campus. The

gathered members may be seen as potential officers for YFC Campus Based

In this level, there is a president and a senior sister. Both are attending their upper

households with the campus program volunteer. Officers in the campus based structure may be

installed, especially if this is required in order to gain recognition by the school administration.

As of this point, installed officers will initially have evangelistic responsibilities (e.g. inviting

people and setting up a youth camp) and will fully carry on further responsibilities at a later

level.

PRESIDENT

MEMBERS

SENIOR SISTER


10/188

2. CHAPTER LEVEL

In the chapter level, the campus is able to conduct their first youth camp. At this point, the

campus conducts regular assemblies, prayer meetings, and households. The Vice-Presidents who

comprise the entire Executive Committee (EXECOM) can now fully operate on all their

responsibilities and are now household heads to the new members of the campus. As the YFC

Campus Based organization grows in its members, Assistant Vice Presidents (AVP) may be

appointed as household heads.

In this level, there should be four (4) to seven (7) members present in one household (whether

brother or sister). A chapter is then composed of three (3) to five (5) solid households. VPs can be

installed as chapter heads when the organization reaches at least six (6) households, thus having

at least three (3) households each chapter. This level may reach up to ten (10) solid households.

The president and the senior sister are attending its upper households with the campus program

volunteer. The president, together with the senior sister, is able to conduct households with the

CAMPUS EXECOM.

3. CLUSTER LEVEL

A campus is considered on a cluster when it has reached at least eleven (11) solid households, or

three (3) chapters. VPs now have pastoral roles as “chapter heads”, having three (3) to five (5)

solid households each. This implies that there can be a maximum of five (5) chapters since there

are five (5) pairs of EXECOM.

The president and the senior sister are attending its upper households with the campus program

volunteer. The president, together with the senior sister, is able to conduct households with the

CAMPUS EXECOM.

NOTE: Campuses with college divisions can have college presidents and senior sisters as heads of chapter and each

college acting as one chapter. If some numbers of households within college department are not big enough to act as

chapter, two colleges can be joined to act as one chapter having one college president and senior sister (e.g. college of

education having one household and college of science having two households can be combined to have one chapter). In

this setting, a campus on a cluster level may have more than five (5) chapters.

D. YFC CAMPUS BASED AREA STRUCTURE

Campus Based Program structure is designed to manage and provide the best possible

organizational flow of campuses in the area in terms of its growth and sustenance. Hence, each

campuses handled is assigned with a consideration of availability and proximity of the ass by each

person to ensure its growth and sustenance.

i. BASIC STRUCTURE (Pastoral and Service)

The basic structure in the Campus Based Program is composed of the Campus Based Couple

Coordinator and Campus Program Youth Head as the top leadership of the program in the area.

Under them are the program volunteers who handle at least two (2) to three (3) campuses at most.

A program volunteer is needed to fully carry out the formation and sustain the program in each of

the campuses assigned to them. Program Volunteers (PV) are picked and assigned with the following

considerations:

a. Availability of the Volunteer’s schedule

The sector/province/country must consider whether or not the volunteer can be present in all

activities of the campuses assigned to them.

b. Area of Proximity

The sector/province/country must also consider if the volunteer is located (whether residence,

school, or work location) near the school assigned.

NOTE: in order to consider faster and easier building of relationships, the area can have special considerations in

assigning the PV based on how well they can fit in the crowd of the school assigned to them.

The PV will conduct lower households to the presidents and senior sisters in the area. This

means that a household will consist of:

o Two PVs (of the same gender) who will take turns in leading the households. This

implies that the Campus Based Couple Coordinator and Campus Program Youth Head

should choose one (1) PV as the head, and another as the assistant. The PV assigned to

a specific set of schools still maintains their pastoral accountability to the schools

assigned.

o Given all PVs are preferably brothers in order to fully uphold male empowerment and

leadership. PV sisters are only assigned to exclusive girl schools.

o The sisters household which is composed of senior sisters and female presidents (for

exclusive girl schools) in the area will be handled by female campus program youth

head.

o In cases that the senior sisters/female presidents are more than five (5), a female PV

(whether as provision or not) can be assigned to take care of the remaining senior

sisters.

o All PVs will be having their upper household with the Campus Program Couple

Coordinator and Youth Head of the sector/province/country or the Area Program

Couple Coordinator (APCC) and Area Program Youth Head (APYH), if applicable.

ii. FULL BLOWN STRUCTURE

As evangelization continues to thrive in the area, the area might go through certain difficulties in

order to handle its growth. Issues like lack of manpower in leading the schools, and geographical

location of schools may arise as a province/sector/country begins to increase in its number of

schools. As this happens, the sector/province/country may consider handling the program

through the following:

As the number of schools continues to increase, the area (province/sector) may add a Campus

Area Couple Coordinators (CACC) and Campus Area Youth Head (CAYH) to accommodate the

additional schools and provide better handling of these schools in an area.

The province/sector/country may now appoint a Campus Area Couple Coordinator and Youth

Head within its structure to handle at least four (4) program volunteers. This implies that one

area handles eight (8) schools.

Assigning of Campus Area Couple Coordinators and Youth Heads may arise due to the following

needs: A Sector/Province/Country reaches more than 10 schools, thus, being too much for the

A Sector/Province/Country Campus Couple Coordinator and its Youth Head to handle.

A Sector/Province/Country has schools that are difficult to reach in terms of its

geographical location thus needing to appoint a person that is closer to that area.

The Campus Base Area Couple Coordinator and Youth Head will have the following roles and

responsibilities:

a) Conduct lower households with the program volunteers in their area

b) Collect and consolidate all reports and updates with regard to its status in the schools,

from the program volunteers

c) Reports to the Campus Youth head and Campus Couple Coordinator

d)

Acts as a resource person to the schools in their respective areas

iii.

AREAS WITH FULLTIME WORKERS/MISSION VOLUNTEERS

In order to further our mission on evangelization, fulltime workers and mission

volunteer are assigned specific roles and responsibilities in order to assist us in our growth. In

this structure, there is specific link between the fulltime worker and mission volunteers to the

area that they are serving in.

Note: This structure is applicable if there is a fulltime pastoral worker’s presence in the A Sector/Province/Country

In this setting, Campus Fulltime workers are to be divided in order to target two specific goals of

the campus program:

NOTE: Strategic schools are defined as schools that are considered prominent, can have a

great influence through its students in an area, and has a great potential for growth. The goal is to sustain the growth of the strategic schools though consistent households,

constant implementation of pastoral formation tracks, thorough application of program

directions, and innovation of strategies for the mission.

The FTW is assigned at least three (3) to five (5) campuses.

Expansion

Handles the opening of all campuses

The goal is for them to initiate and start-up schools, work on it until it reaches the CHAPTER

level.

Once it reaches the Chapter level, the school handled is to be handed over to the

sector/provincial/area program youth head to assume responsibility over it.NOTE: The Chapter level is defined s schools where in the YFC organization has a complete set of officers, has

been able to conduct a youth camp, and ahs regular households and prayer meetings.

There are instances that an area may only have one (1) FTW and one (1) MV. In these cases, both

major responsibility may be divided among the two, handling only one (1) to two (2) campuses

each.

In some cases, an area may have either one of the two. In these cases, the one present in the

area should take up both major responsibilities, and have one target school for each

responsibility. (e.g. one flagship school and one school for expansion)

Vice President – Documentation Assistant Vice President for Documentation

Vice President for Socio Political Assistant Vice President for Socio-Political

Vice- Presidents have the prerogative to create sub-committees, depending on their needs. (e.g.

Documentation Committee can create a Newsletter Committee, or Member’s Care Committee just to

make sure everyone’s birthday is celebrated, or that special theme days – like a “letter day” or

“graduates’ honoring nights” are institutionalized.) However, these committees will be headed by non-

elected officers and will be placed directly under the authority of the VP who initiated the creation of

this committee.

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Who will I look for if I plan to start up YFC in my campus?

The YFC Campus Based Program Team or Any YFC Mission worker c/o the Couples for Christ. Look for

your Campus Program Head and/or Couple Coordinator; or the Fulltime Mission worker in charge of

your area.

Do we need a Fulltime Pastoral Worker assigned to us before we can start to establish the

YFC Campus Program in our school?

NO! All that is needed is a YFC student, professor or employee within the campus who feels the calling

to bring Christ to his/her campus. The YFC Fulltime Mission worker will be your resource and will justassist you in establishing YFC in your school. The initiative must come from within the campus.

Who will oversee and guide us as we set up YFC Campus?

Once a person initiates establishing YFC in his/her campus, and has contacted the local Campus Based

Program Team for the necessary information and guidelines, he/she is inserted into a Campus

Household. The household head of this group takes on the role of overseeing the set up of YFC in that

Campus. The household head may be a Campus Program Volunteer, Campus Program Head, Mission

Volunteer or a Fulltime Pastoral Worker.

We are having problems gaining official recognition from our school administration. Can

we still set up a YFC Campus group?

Yes! YFC Campus Based may be established with or without official recognition from the campus

administration as long as they are connected and guided by the Campus Program Team of the area.

However, YFC Campuses without official recognition may experience limited access to school facilities

and support from their school administration.

APPENDICES

APPENDIX 1

YFC CAMPUS FRESH PROGRAM

RATIONALE:

Every year there are YFC members who graduate from High School and move on to universities or

colleges to pursue their studies. During this transition, many of the youths lose contact with their

former area of service, thus sometimes lose pastoral care. This is especially true to those who are

moving to study in another area or city. In support of the belief of CFC, YFC also believes that the

community is a womb to tomb ministry. This means that pastoral care is different and needed in every

stage in life.

With the youth entering into a new world in college, it is necessary for them to have a stable and

reliable support group, and strong relationship with God as they venture further into their academic life.

Thus, the YFC Freshmen Care Program is designed to create a support environment for our brothers and

sisters who are moving on to a different level both in the area of service and in their education,

specifically in the campuses where there is YFC.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To let the freshmen experience the YFC Fundamentals of Fun, Friendship, Faith and Freedom in

the campus setting

2. To provide pastoral care and continuous spiritual growth as they move up to a higher level of

education

3. To create a support environment for the freshman through establishing strong and trusted

friendships through YFC as they start their campus life

GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING THE PROGRAM:

1. The Campus Fresh Care Program is implemented as a support program for both incoming YFC

and Non-YFC Freshmen in the Campus with the following elements:

a.

Spiritual and Peer Support. The households in the campuses will play a very important rolein the whole program. Each household will adopt an appropriate number of incoming

freshmen to pastor. The household head is accountable for the nourishment of these

freshmen.

b. Physical support. The household should also look after the physical needs of freshmen

assigned to them. (e.g. Familiarization of the area, showing them the affordable places to

eat, how to take public transportation, where to buy groceries, etc.) It is the responsibility of

the household to orient the freshmen on the peculiarities of their school culture.

c. Academic Support. The household should help the freshmen on the academic aspect, such

as giving tips on how to get better grades, assisting them in their enrollment or school

transactions, looking for people who can lend them textbooks and other references etc.

2. This program operates even before the school year starts. There are two things to consider in

implementing the program:


29/188

29

For YFC Freshmen:

a.

Coordination with the other YFC programs by the campus programsector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads (e.g. Community Based, HS Based

etc.) is essential before the school year starts.

b. The Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads may

coordinate to the other YFC Programs to gather list of incoming freshmen from their areas.

Information sheets should be filled out and submitted to the Campus program

sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads. (see attached sample Information

sheet)

c. Once the names of the incoming freshmen are submitted, the Campus program

sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads may now endorse the names to the

respective campus leaders to communicate with them.

d. The YFC Campus Core /EXECOM will now take charge in assigning the freshmen to a

respective household. The household assigned will be in charge of helping and assisting the

freshmen until they are fully transitioned in a permanent household.

For Non-YFC Freshmen:

The YFC Fresh Care Program can also be a tool in evangelizing freshmen who are not yet

members of the community. Before the end of the program the campus should see to it that

Non-YFC registrants are informed and encourage attending the nearest possible schedule of

youth camp in the campus.

a. YFC’s in the campuses can set up a YFC Fresh Care Booth on the first week of classes and

prepare signup sheets with proper coordination and permission with the school

administration. e.g. letter to administration

b. The YFC Fresh Care Booth should create attraction especially to the freshmen. YFC’s c an

make simple giveaway’ freebies or giveaways to those who will sign up. (E.g. Campus Map,

List of suggested Food Shops, Campus Tips etc)

c. At the end of the sign up, the NON-YFC freshmen will also be distributed to the households,

allowing them to experience the culture that we have in YFC.

d. Non-YFC freshmen are encouraged and followed up to join the Youth Camp at the end of

the Fresh Care Program.

3. The Fresh Care Program will be implemented on the first month of the opening of classes on a

per campus level and should be monitored by the campus program sector/provincial/country

coordinators and youth head / Campus Program Volunteer.

4. The Fresh Care Program will end with the Campus FRESH Party.

APPENDIX 2

CAMPUS TOUR

RATIONALE

The traditional means of attracting people, especially the young, to a Christian way of living no longer

appears to be effective. The changing times and trends also require change and added dynamism to the

way we craft our communications and activities that we use for evangelization.

The Campus Tour is basically a celebration of Christ’s love in each campus. This is YFC’s version of

College week, Business week, Organization week wherein a series of activities are conducted to promote

an organization or a particular cause. YFC’s, however, promote only Christ in the Campus Tour, nothing

more, and nothing less. It is an evangelization tool to creatively introduce Christ in the campuses

through a series of activities done within the campuses where YFC is present.

Activities created for Campus Tour target to bring awareness to, involve, and evangelize other student

organizations, student body leaders, niche groups, varsity players and other students. The primary

purpose of this activity is to market Jesus to everybody in the Campus, most particularly to those not yet

members of YFC. Thus, the activities included in the Campus Tour should be made appealing even to the

non-YFC members.

The Campus Tour should also serve as a tool that will motivate and help YFC members to live by

God’s direction not only in action and words, but most importantly, in character.

OBJECTIVES

1.

To introduce Jesus to Non-YFC members through a series of activities conducted in the

campuses.2.

To provide a starting point for non-YFC members to deepen their faith

3.

To create a venue for YFC members to express and share the God’s love that is celebrated

during campus tour

GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING THE EVENT

1.

The Campus Tour happens every last quarter of the academic year.

2. Activities during the duration of the Campus Tour can happen:

Within each Campus involving their own set of officers and Campus tour teams.

Within the vicinity of other campus within the area. It can, then, be an area wide activity

spearheaded by the Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth

heads / Campus Program Volunteers with the involvement of all YFC campuses.

4.

The theme will be different each year. The theme will come from the direction of the

international campus based team, also coming from the yearly direction of the biggercommunity in Couples for Christ. However, in certain agreed upon areas and up to extent, the

YFC campuses can tailor fit their themes to their respective setting.

PRAYER MEETING

RATIONALE

Prayer meetings are part of the culture of Youth for Christ, the youth arm of the Couples for

Christ community. YFC Campus Based in particular, had realized the need for the prayer meeting as a

culture to be a lifestyle among its members.

This guide aims to orient the campuses about the basics of prayer meetings. It also intends to give the

campuses the adequate materials and documents for a paralleled spiritual growth through the pastoral

tracks, and basic teachings that is specially designed for YFC Campus-Based.

OVERVIEW

A meeting of YFC members in the campuses held at least twice a month in the premises of their

college or university. It is a time to come together to worship the Lord, hear His words and share the

goodness and blessings He has given the group. It is an affirmation to everyone that truly God works not

only in their individual lives but also to other members of their campus as well.

Prayer meetings are also used as a venue to respond to the spiritual needs or address the

different concerns of the members. Therefore, each campus should strategically select the time and day

they will conduct the prayer meeting to ensure that the members are able to attend and participate in

it.
