15th International Leaders Conference of YFC: “LOVE Conference” was a blast. Attended by10,500 plus youth from all over the world. Not to mention the Metro Manila Region topped 5,000 YFCs attended the said event. Well its not a big surprise though since they are near Tagaytay but its really touching that a lot of YFC from their place attended the event, since the past ILCs only a few of them was there.
The conference was held at Tagaytay International Convention Center, basically the main street of Tagaytay since the other events was held in the schools and establishments surrounding TICC.
I went there with my whole family and the whole Lanao del Norte delegates there were only around 40 of them since most of the attendees backed out due to conflict of schedules on their graduation, which were mostly from MSU-IIT scheduled April3 and 4. We departed Iligan City at around 6:00pm April 2, 2008 and arrived at South Harbor Manila, 6am April 4, 2008. I was pretty excited for this ILC since it was rescheduled 3 times for Tagaytay, and finally for the 4th time it came true. The conference was entitled “The Love Conference”.
The theme itself is intriguing and pretty much exciting, am I right? Yes it definitely is but its actually far more than expected. It was one of the best ILC I ever been to. Not to mention the very cold weather in Tagaytay you would definitely feel a warm embrace from God. As one of the speaker says as God talked to him, God said “ I choose you to be here to feel my love and I chose Tagaytay for you to feel My warm embrace”. Hearing that from the speaker made me teary eyed. Most specially when he said “ I know you are IMPERFECT, But I LOVE you beyond that” I suddenly burst into tears.
The first day ended with a concert from SUGARFREE. They were not as entertaining as the previous guests we had way back then but it was pretty nice, cool enough to have a clean fun.
The love of God filled Tagaytay. The rain poured so hard on the second day (April5) as He poured down His blessings while the 10,500 youth praised and worshiped his name. It was very touching added with the chilling effect of the cold wind. Everyone was soaking wet, but continued praising his name. It was really an “uhh” moment. The workshops were scheduled on that day to, along with the championship games for the sports competitions and the musical competitions (band, acapella and dance fest) in the morning. In the evening there were two talks also, unfortunately due to migraine I fell asleep in talk 3 and wasn’t able to join the praise fest. It was really a terrible headache, I know it’s not a good excuse but God knows it was too painful for me to handle. But in the middle of praise fest, when the youth concurred
The third day is the last day of the conference but wasn’t our last day for Tagaytay. The conference ended with the last session and a very powerful praise fest. Then shopping for pasalubongs and a tour around the city. It was really fun! Weeeee…… Tatak ko! Tatak Kristo!!!
