Youth Pep Talk Speaker

During the Youth Pep Talk last August 1, 2026, we were reminded that finishing well begins with being rooted in Godโ€™s Word. In a world filled with harmful influences and difficult choices, we are called to let His Word guide our hearts, decisions, and actions.

Until out next gathering! See you all! ๐Ÿฉตโญ๏ธ

On the afternoon of August 01, 2026, the ICCF Youth gathered students from different campuses across Zamboanga City for the Youth Pep Talk, held at Immanuel City Center Fellowship Church.

The afternoon was filled with table discussions, brainstorming, and conversations that allowed the youths to interact with one another and share their thoughts on present-day issues, all while being guided by the Word of God.

Beyond the activities, the youths were reminded of the importance of keeping Godโ€™s Word close and allowing it to guide their choices and everyday lives through Ate Hannah Natalie Machadoโ€™s encouragement, anchored in Joshua 1:8.

โ€œThis Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.โ€ โ€” Joshua 1:8 (NKJV)

With 61 youths gathered, the afternoon ended with joyful fellowship and meaningful moments shared with one another. Indeed, it was a beautiful reminder that finishing well begins with staying rooted in Godโ€™s Word and faithfully walking in His ways.

From the meaningful conversations to the fun and memorable moments, take a look at what took place during the Youth Pep Talk through the photos below!

To God be the Glory!

Every day, violence steals the future of countless young Filipinos. In Zamboanga City alone, police have recorded numerous crime related incidents involving minors this year. Behind every statistic is a name, a family, and a future worth fighting for.

Violence doesn't begin with fists. It begins with wounded hearts, harmful influences, and choices made without hope. But violence doesn't have to define this generation.

Following the successful and spirit-filled 7th Annual Youth Retreat, 14 young followers of God shared their testimonies on how God moved in their lives brought by this event.

With the theme, โ€œDismantling AI (Artificial Image), anchored in Ecclesiastes 12:1,โ€ we were reminded to dismantle false identities shaped by the world, and embrace the original design God has in store for us from the very beginning.

Ecclesiastes 12:1
โ€œRemember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, 'I have no pleasure in them.'"

To God be all the glory!

As the retreat came to its final moments, the ICCF Youth ended the journey with exciting activities filled with adventure and fellowship. While the rain poured, everyone first enjoyed the swimming pool, making the most of every moment of fellowship despite the weather.

Then came the moment we had all been hoping and praying for: the rain stopped, the skies cleared, and the zipline activities were finally able to push through. All were both excited and nervous at the same time as they will conquer the fear of heights and uncertainty.

As they soar around the sky and stood before the breathtaking beauty of Godโ€™s creation, they were reminded of the peace that comes from fully trusting Him.โ›ฐ๏ธ What started with uncertainty became a beautiful testimony of Godโ€™s perfect timing.

This retreat is indeed filled with strengthened bonds, surrendered hearts, and above all spiritual renewal. This memories will indeed be cherished.

Indeed, we ended this retreat with a blast! We give back all the glory to our living God! ๐Ÿค

As the first light of dawn slowly touched the mountains of Southern Heights Recreational Park, our youth gathered together in silence and prayer for Morning Watch. The air was cold and fresh, filled with the peaceful sound of birds chirping from every direction, soft melodies echoing through the trees as if creation itself was worshipping alongside us.

Surrounded by lush green foliage, towering trees, and the breathtaking scenery of Godโ€™s creation, we watched the sky transform from darkness into warm shades of gold and orange. The sun gradually rose over the hills while gentle winds brushed through the leaves, creating a moment of stillness and awe that words can barely describe.

We began praying before the sun rose, and by the time daylight filled the park, we were reminded of the very revival we are believing for, that the youth of today, once surrounded by darkness and confusion, would also encounter the light of Christ rising in their hearts.

Together, we cried out for God to redeem this generation from the distractions and schemes of the world that pull young people away from His truth and presence. We prayed for moral and spiritual revival, that the youth would rise boldly as light and salt in this fallen world, fully surrendered to the Great Commission, armed daily with prayer, grounded in the Word of God, and faithful in the calling He has entrusted to them.

Just as the morning sun broke through the night, may this generation experience spiritual awakening, renewed passion for God, and hearts fully surrendered to Him. ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ”ฅ

โ€œWhy embrace an artificial image when you were created in the image of God?โ€

During Pastorโ€™s Time on Day 2 of the ICCF 7th Annual Youth Retreat 2026, we were reminded that true strength and stability are not found in standards created by the world, but in the truth of who we are in Christ.

Four groups and one goal thatโ€™s The Amazing Race. Challenging each groupโ€™s strength and strategy, this race allowed us to build perseverance and teamwork to reach a common goal through each otherโ€™s different strengths and abilities.

Followed by a challenging team building session, the youth were indeed intrigued of what reflections these activities bring. Divided by 2 groups, male and female, everyone was given the opportunity to share their personal experiences and reflections from the activities. The Breakup Session taught them that every team building activity was never just a simple game, but a reflection of how strong our foundation in Christ truly is.

These experiences gave them the lesson that God has a purpose for them by dismantling the artificial image and remembering that we are created in the image and likeness of God.

To God be the Glory!

โ€œWhat are the things we are privileged to have that we want to dedicate unto God?โ€

The ICCF Youth were once again ignited to use their privileges for the Gospel during the bonfire session of the ICCF 7th Annual Youth Retreat 2026.

Taking inspiration from Estherโ€™s privileges, the youth were encouraged to serve the interests of God and advance the Gospel through their personal calling.

โ€œGod does not work by coincidence, but by appointment.โ€
