    LIVE THE FULL LIFE

    One of the most thriving youth ministry today in the Philippines is happening in Pampanga City. I was given a chance to interview Pastor Ru, youth pastor of His Life City Church Pampanga on his third book Refuel. He shares some wonderful and powerful insights about the gospel, pastoring and refueling with God&#;s grace.

    1. What made you write your 3rd book REFUEL?

    Well uhm, Refuel is actually my third book with OMF Literature. The first installment is Road Trip, Your Guide to life&#;s best adventure. It is zoomed in on encouraging readers to let go and let God be the driver of their lives.

    One year after the launch of Road Trip, Back on Track&#; Shifting Back to Grace&#; came out. It&#;s a book about the beautiful message of grace, and how God, in His loving kindness, dispenses second chances to us who&#;ve experience making wrong turns in life. 🙂

    Dear Jesus Christ,

    Thank You for the cross. Thank You for the amazing love you poured out on me years ago. Thank You for the grace and for the mercy you abound on me.

    I&#;m not worthy of your love but You&#;re always here loving me although I&#;ve done things that hurts you. You love me at my best and much more than at my worst.

    Help me to love You more. Help me to desire Your presence more. Help me to treasure you more inside of my heart. To think what You will feel when I make decisions in my life. To have a heart like Yours and to have a love to others like Yours.

    Continue to correct me if I made some things that will hurt You. Continue to mold me with Your love, goodness and grace. Continue to purify me with Your love.

    You&#;re the author of my life, my journey and also my faith. Help to follow the track that you&#;ve planned in my life. Help me to keep my faith in Your name. To be more prayerful even in the midst of struggles. To seek You more even they&#;re tim

    We have heard it said so many times that the ungdom are the future of the nation. But the reality fryst vatten that they are also the hardest to reach on a spiritual and even emotional level, with the advent of a post-modern and increasingly hedonistic society. Most churches have continuously struggled with losing young members and with getting ung people to actually komma into the church, much less, be discipled.

    We sat down with youth pastor and OMF Literature author Pastor Ru dela Torre to pick his brains on his thoughts about youth ministry and the challenges it presents.

    What made you decide to go into discipling the ungdom in your church? You could have chosen kids, or yuppies, or the middle aged group, but your heart led you to the youth.

    I’ve always had a burden for young people. It’s mainly because of the fact that inom believe in them. Every time inom see a young individ, I
