Trials and Triumph

Just yesterday, me together with my church mates (Jomar, Kuya Michael, Ptr. Benjie, Ptr. Arroyo and his wife Tchr. Norma) attended a whole day bible conference about “Fundamentalism in the Last Days” in Manila Baptist Church somewhere in Ermita. It was a special consultation in the Philippines by the International Council of Christian Churches (ICCC). We arrived there at about 9:45 am and the program started at 10:00 am. I never suppose that I will be joining with well-experienced pastors in the Philippines and we’re the only youth there.

The conference discusses about Fundamentalism which is a religious belief based on literal interpretation of the word of God in regard to faith and moral. It’s the very foundation of Christian Churches which they want to give more emphasis and to be highlighted in today’s advancing generation. The conference encourages Baptist churches to still practice the value of Fundamentalism despite of the changes in today’s way of service.

It’s a two-in-one conference actually. A conference for spiritual growth and a conference for coffee break and heavy food break for physical healthiness. When we arrived there, the conference welcomed us with a coffee for free. With my crafty mind, I discover a Starbucks-taste-like coffee when I mix a one pack of Milo and a half sachet 3-in-1 Nescafe and it taste WOW! Splendid!

After the morning session, it’s a coffee break again and I made a Starbucks-taste-like coffee again together with a biscuit. And then we ate our bottom-less lunch and go back to the seminar after we take another coffee break (so much coffee! Actually I can’t sleep there!). In the afternoon session, they talk about ICCC and we can’t relate ourselves to the topic. So we chatted with each other and a frequent coffee break wandered our ambiance. And since we have nothing to do, pinapapak nalang ni Jomar ang Milo and then we’re texting while the speaker talks. Hahaha.

After that session, it’s a coffee break again! And we filled our tummy with so much coffee that day! We ate a bottom-less lunch again and waited for another session. After that session, we decided to go home and not to go again the next day because we have no more money to pay for the transportation.

I will miss the COFFEE BREAK and the Starbucks-taste-like coffee I frequent prepare!
