The Life in the
Spirit Seminar is composed of a series of talks leading the
students through the basic message of salvation and helps them
yield to the action of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The
seminar is simple, informal and introductory in format, balanced
with teaching, personal testimony, Scripture and prayer. There are
small group discussions that provide an important opportunity for
the participants to discuss and share their experience.
The LSS
was facilitated by a group of persons who belong to different
renewal communities and prayer groups in Metro Manila led by their
shepherd Mr. Arun Gogna, a Theology professor from De La
Salle-College of St. Benilde, who has been ministering to the
youth for many years.
The last group of third year college students
(316
A and B, AB Pol3, AB Eng3, BFA SPD3, BFA3, BSID3, Eco3, BS Math3,
MM3 A and B, BSE3 and BSND3)
will have their LSS on
February 19-20,
2004.

The LSS
has been part of the recollection and retreat program of the
College Campus Ministry since last school year. All third year
college students of SY 2003-2004 experienced the power of the Holy
Spirit through the LSS and many of them have expressed how
wonderful it is to experience God’s presence through the Holy
Spirit. With this experience, they hope that The Holy Spirit
would empower them with the gifts they need to become effective
witnesses of Christ.

Students sharing life experiences |

As a follow up to the LSS, the College Campus Ministry
Office (CCMO) is planning to organize a prayer meeting in October
for all the LSS graduates. This activity will also be open to the
other
members of the
community who would like to join the group in worshipping and
praising God. Small prayer groups will also be organized by the
second semester where students can have Bible Study and faith
sharing sessions.
CCMO is currently in need of students who have had their
LSS to help in organizing similar future
activities. Interested student volunteers can visit the CCMO.
Let this be an opportunity for you to share the
gifts you have received from the Holy Spirit
so that we can truly say that in all things God may be glorified.
