One Thing Philippines is an annual event where christians all over the city gathered together to honor the name of the Lord Jesus. This event does not talk about RELIGION nor denomination but your RELATIONSHIP to the Lord. Therefore, it has been participated by almost a thousand of young people for the past couple of years since it started to kick off last 2014.

This conference is a three day event where International Speakers from International House of Prayer or IHOP at Kansas City are invited. They tackled today's generation's issues like depression, pornography, social media addiction and among others. The general aim of this conference is to set apart a generation for Jesus where they effectively affect the community they live in. They are aspired to disciple young people pulling them away from worldly vices that may destroy their future.

Moreover, through this conference, it aims to ignite hope to these young people who have been screwed up with their personal struggles like having a broken family relationship, bullying and inaccessibilty to education.

That's we are truly honored, blessed and privilege to a part of this one amazing conference.

Ptr. Rue Dela Torre, one of the speakers and crowd favorites because of his comical and lively gestures during preaching. He talks about how important your relationship to God in keeping you away from anything that corrupts your character and your future. It was indeed such a powerful preaching from him.

Right after the preaching, our team had a dance presentation entitled Deliver Us, a Jewish song depicting the lives of jews during their slavery from the Egyptians. Good thing that the Lord has indeed sent their deliverance through these Angels in Red.

Pastors laid their hands to these young people as they pray them over of their struggles and pains feeling on the inside. They were just all crying like a small child as if they were carried by the arms of God. Such a heart melting sight, right?

The River of Life Symphony Orchestra team doning their smiles and approval of the beauty of such conference. They were now even in anticipation as early as now of next year's One Thing Conference.

For us, there is really no security as secured than having God in your life. Again it's not about religion but a relationship to God who gives peace in the inside that no amount treasure can ever suffy. You may be the richest person in the world and most popular but the at the end of the day, you will still feel that longing in the inside that only God can truly satisfy.

Shalom everyone. Be blessed.
