It is indeed a sad fact that 60% of the Philippine population do not own a Bible! This is an alarming result from a survey conducted by A.C. Nielsen to measure how many Filipinos are reached by God's Word. Imagine our shock when we learned that 70% of this 60% population are teenagers and young professionals. And to think, the Philippines is called the only "Christian nation in Southeast Asia".
Nowadays, the youth no longer find God's Word relevant to their lives so they don't even bother to open a Bible. And this is something to ponder on....
Kung ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan at hindi sila bilib sa Biblia--anong kinabukasan meron ang Pilipinas?
It is in response to this realization that notable Christian organizations and churches united to rally the Y generation for God's Word. This birthed the--
YOUTH EXPLODE SERIES:
THE BIBLE ADVENTURE BEGINS!
A FREE event for all the youth, young at heart and young once. Join the battle cry of this generation as they own, read and live God's Word.
So we ask you...
...WHY DO YOU LOVE GOD'S WORD?
