II. YFC CAMPUS BASED

A. RATIONALE

True to the commission of Christ, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21), CFC Youth for Christ (YFC) truly empowers the youth not only to be good Christian men and women, but also, to spread the good news and “renew the face of the earth.”

Sadly, many factors in this world result in the diminishing support of a Christian environment at home. This offers little help to the youth, who are already in need of much support and guidance. More and more young people today are being pressured into entering immoral relationships, learning to cheat and steal, joining gangs and literally “dying” in the very place where they are meant to learn and live, simply because there is no real exciting alternative to choose from.

Moreover, there is an ongoing battle for the hearts and minds of young people today. The values of the youth are now being wrongly influenced by different elements in society (e.g. the promotion and toleration of abortion, premarital sex, rebellion to family and parents, corruption among student leaders, to name a few).

In order to counter these threats, there has to be a massive evangelization and re-evangelization of the youth today especially in the captured market within the campuses/schools. Every young person today should know the joy of receiving the gift of salvation and of living a dynamic personal relationship with Jesus Christ. However, this is not easy because of the many distractions, pressures and diversions that are pulling young people away from the plan of God.

Hence, there poses a greater challenged and an urgent response to provide a healthy and exciting environment in college campuses, where faith among students can flourish, and bonds of friendship, brotherhood and sisterhood with other young men and women can be formed.

YFC Campus Based is CFC Youth for Christ’s official evangelization program based within College or University level campuses. It is affiliated with the Couples for Christ Global Mission Foundation and the network of its family ministries within the Philippines and abroad. It caters to students in their tertiary level of education – those through with their secondary or highschool level, and is pursuing further education in these campuses.

In order to be effective in its evangelization efforts, YFC Campus Based seeks to provide (a) a point of conversion / re-conversion where a young person can grow as man or woman of God and be encouraged to take responsibility and gain leadership as they lead others to God as well; and (b) a program that accepts the vibrancy, energy, dynamism and free-spirit of the youth, and strives to re-channel this youthful spirit for use in the mission of building God’s kingdom in their homes and campuses.

B. CAMPUS BASED DREAM

We dream of a society very different from what it is today. People believe that this is impossible and yet we continue to pray hard and reach for this dream. We dream of a day when husbands will be faithful to their wives and children. Fathers will protect instead of abuse their children. Doctors will preserve

(5)

life, instead of abort it. Governments will serve its people, instead of exploit it. There will be less crime because businessmen will not push their employees into the kind of poverty that breeds crime.

We believe this dream can be realized through our work in the campuses. We firmly hold on to the hope that if we Christianize the values of the future lawyers, doctors, businessmen and professionals, government leaders today, while they are still students in the campuses, where their values are being formed, this vision can turn into reality.

C. CAMPUS BASED VERSE

The Mission and Vision of YFC Campus is based on the words of Scripture, to "Unite all things in Christ" (Ephesians. 1:10). It is a response to the call of our Church leadership and our Universities and colleges to proclaim Christ to all men, believing that change can truly happen with a united effort and consistent transformation.

D. YFC CAMPUS BASED VISION

A Renewed and Society in Christ through the Campuses E. VISION STATEMENT

Driven by the Holy Spirit, transformed by the love of Christ, and one with the Catholic Church, YFC Campus Based is a youth ministry of Couples for Christ that renews the society by raising servant leaders grounded on Christian values, witnessing God through the campuses.

F. YFC CAMPUS BASED MISSION

Empowering God’s Witnesses in the Campuses that will transform the Society

G. MISSION STATEMENT

We are YFC Campus Based. We are committed to live in God’s righteousness and holiness, evangelizing university students through a life of love and service; we shall work for the renewal of the youth that will embrace God and His commission, build generations of Christian leaders, in the pursuit of making our studies relevant to our commitment to the society and to God.

H. YFC CAMPUS BASED CULTURE

YFC Campus Based aims to teach its members how to live a secure and Christian life. This is done through reinforcing the YFC seven (7) identities that are being reflected through different teachings within the ministry. The YFC seven (7) identities are:

a) Being a Missionary

This is our distinct desire to deepen the living out of our Christian faith for the love and service for others. It is an expression of our great appreciation to the work of evangelization, formation and mission of our community, taking it as our duty, our call and our privilege. We want our youth members to be missionaries by heart, allowing them to be true evangelizers, introduce His love as their top priority in life.

b) Source of Unity to the Family

This is our deep aspiration to uphold unity and God’s plan for the family and for His domestic church. We want all our YFCs to be a source of love and healing in whatever brokenness their families might be experiencing. We want them to be a source of peace and an

(6)

advocate of love and in promoting better relationships. We believe that all our YFCs should be active in their homes doing their responsibilities and acting out their roles as members in their own respective families.

c) Model of Excellence

This is our yearning for personal holiness in our work with Christ. Our focus is to develop and hone our own talents and skills for God’s glory and mission. Our goal is to be excellent in all our endeavors, encouraging them to be excellent in every aspect of their lives, especially in their studies, work, mission fields and in being good sons and daughters to their family.

d) Single-minded for God

Our desire is to form men and women who will whole-heartedly minister and serve God. Our goal is to uphold and appreciate the importance of loving and following the teachings of Jesus in becoming His true followers and disciples. Through this we aim to understand our call and vocation, following only the plan and purpose of God to our lives.

e) 100% Free

This is rooted in our desire to protect life for the continuance of God’s work. Our goal is to instill the Christian lifestyle among the youth by emphasizing on the sacredness of life and defend the culture of life vs. the culture of death.

f) Champion of the Poor

This is our desire to protect the value and dignity of the poor by putting out faith into complete action. Our goal is to bring out our heroism as ordinary men and women imbibing the value of unity and team work in order to exude love for the poor. Through this we are establishing caring relationships and upholding the value of selfless giving and sharing.

g) Patriotic

This is our desire to cradle our love for God in active love for our country. Our goal is to strengthen the value of excellence, dedication and total commitment in making a difference in the lives of others and contribute greatly in making this world a better place for the future. The YFC seven (7) identities are incorporated through the culture of the program. YFC Campus Based has aims to teach and instill these three cultures: Culture of Passion, Integrity and Excellence into the life and growth of the youth in the campuses.

Culture of Passion.

A culture of Passion for the Lord: A cliché but a true meaning of the identity of YFC campus based. It means the willingness to bear the zeal of focusing on the Lord and what the Lord is asking for us to do. To have a culture of passion also means being champions of the poor and being patriotic not only towards their campuses but also towards the country. To be in a culture of passion means expressing our love for the Lord by having a missionary heart at all times.

Culture of Integrity.

A culture of Integrity is a culture where every student should uphold, understand, and live out. These days it is a shaken issue of every student, where from time to time many have been tested on it. It is a test of character and valued. YFC aims to create a culture where their Christ-like

(7)

values are not compromised for worldly wants. In YFC Campus Based, we are formed to be firm in our faith and in the things that we believe in, living it out in the different aspects of our lives.

The struggle of being pure and chaste also defines the battle in the different campuses. The transformation of many people who are now freed from the bondage of vices and sins serves as the living example of Christ love through brotherhood and sisterhood. A campus based member should be proud to share his/her conviction of being 100% Free.

It is in this culture that we set our minds that the Lord deserves nothing more but the best of us. Thus, exemplifying to be single minded for God at all times.

Culture of Excellence.

A culture of Excellence is our way showing how we do our mission and live our life for the Lord. Both excellences in studies and in service is one way of showing other people how great God is in our lives. Each campus based member is called to be a model of excellence in their campuses – striving to be the best that they can be.

However, embodying the culture of excellence not only in our studies and service but it also means bringing it in our families. As we become the best sons/daughters we can be at home will make us an instrument of being a source of unity in our family.

III. STARTING UP YFC CAMPUS BASED

A. STEPS IN STARTING YFC IN THE CAMPUSES 1. BUILD A TEAM / FORM A CORE GROUP

 Look and gather for possible existing YFC members in the Campus. Coordinate with the other YFC Programs in the area and look for their members list for a possible contact person to start the YFC Campus Program. These YFC members may be potential and can be appointed as leaders for the initial start – up

Identify Key people in the campus that can help in opening the campus

Alumni members of the campus

Members of the community who are part of the campus. 2. PREPARE AND PRESENT

a. Prepare all necessary materials for presentation

 YFC primer

 Proposal Letter

 Endorsement letter (from alumni / community members that are part of the school) if needed

b. Set an appointment with the Campus Administration for the presentation – this may be done by the Campus Program Volunteer, Campus Program Head, Couple Coordinator NOTE: The presentation should be done at the very start of the academic year so that the administration will have enough time to go over the materials.

c. After meeting with the administration, ALWAYS TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING DETAILS for future follow ups:

(8)

 Telephone numbers and e-mail address (if any) of the campus 3. ESTABLISH AND EXPAND

a. Appoint initial leaders in the Campus (President, Senior Sister Etc.) and establish initial structure in the campus both pastoral and functional.

b. Coordinate with the Campus Moderator and conduct the following:

 Expectation Setting

 Orientation on the basics of YFC and Campus Based Program

c. Integrate the appointed leaders to the existing campus household in the area headed by the Campus Program Volunteer / Campus Sector/Provincial/Country Youth Head / Couple Coordinator

d. The Campus Core then plan the program of activities for the year with the guidance of the Campus Program Volunteer assigned to them and with proper coordination and involvement of the assign Campus Moderator.

NOTE: The Campus Calendar of Activities and YFC National Calendar of Activities should be considered in plotting the activities inside the campus.

e. Gather all existing YFC members (strategize membership campaign through room to rooms, setting up registration table, flyers etc…) Divide the present membership into Households. Establishing households are crucial to the work in the campus.

f. Conduct initial Prayer Meetings (refer to the Prayer Meeting Guide and Checklist) g. Once the regularity of households and prayer meetings becomes stable. The Campus

may plan on conducting a Youth camp (refer to the Youth Camp Manual)

B. SUSTENANCE STRATEGY FOR YFC CAMPUS BASED PROGRAM

To ensure the attendance and participation of YFC Campus Based members, strategies may be created in order to sustain them in the program. This sustenance can be ensured through: 1. Building a relationship and identifying a hang-out place (if available) where YFC can be found

anytime.

2. Setting a regular household meeting for it to be a primary point of gathering of the YFC Campus Based members. Be guided by the YFC Household Manual for choice of topics. 3. Regularity of Prayer Meeting. You may find topics in the YFC Chapter Assembly Manual. 4. Seeking for Campus Recognition and Accreditation so as to conduct university wide activities. 5. Working with other organizations for possible partnerships and tie ups.

(9)

C. LEVELS OF GROWTH WITH STRUCTURE

YFC Campus groups vary in different levels depending on their growth as a group in their campus. This is done for the following reasons:

a. To give the group goals to work for. This will give them a sense of achievement and growth. (In essence, this can serve as a motivation for the group to reach greater heights).

b. To ensure that the basic culture of YFC Campus is observed.

c. To provide easy reference as to the size and general capability of each YFC-Campus group Below is a diagram of each structure and the conditions of how a campus will be categorized as such. Campuses should make sure that they are following the guidelines and principles in terms of expanding their structural growth.

STRUCTURE WITHIN THE CAMPUS 1. HOUSEHOLD LEVEL

Household level is defined as the first level in the growth of a campus. There are no solid base members yet. The president is being established as required by the school ADMIN in acquiring recognition of the program. The president, together with the senior sister, conducts households with the members. YFC is in process as an organization within the campus. The gathered members may be seen as potential officers for YFC Campus Based

In this level, there is a president and a senior sister. Both are attending their upper households with the campus program volunteer. Officers in the campus based structure may be installed, especially if this is required in order to gain recognition by the school administration. As of this point, installed officers will initially have evangelistic responsibilities (e.g. inviting people and setting up a youth camp) and will fully carry on further responsibilities at a later level.

PRESIDENT

MEMBERS

(10)

2. CHAPTER LEVEL

In the chapter level, the campus is able to conduct their first youth camp. At this point, the campus conducts regular assemblies, prayer meetings, and households. The Vice-Presidents who comprise the entire Executive Committee (EXECOM) can now fully operate on all their responsibilities and are now household heads to the new members of the campus. As the YFC Campus Based organization grows in its members, Assistant Vice Presidents (AVP) may be appointed as household heads.

In this level, there should be four (4) to seven (7) members present in one household (whether brother or sister). A chapter is then composed of three (3) to five (5) solid households. VPs can be installed as chapter heads when the organization reaches at least six (6) households, thus having at least three (3) households each chapter. This level may reach up to ten (10) solid households. The president and the senior sister are attending its upper households with the campus program volunteer. The president, together with the senior sister, is able to conduct households with the CAMPUS EXECOM.

SENIOR SISTER

EXECOM PRESIDENT

EVP

HOUSEHOLD HOUSEHOLD HOUSEHOLD

(11)

3. CLUSTER LEVEL

A campus is considered on a cluster when it has reached at least eleven (11) solid households, or three (3) chapters. VPs now have pastoral roles as “chapter heads”, having three (3) to five (5) solid households each. This implies that there can be a maximum of five (5) chapters since there are five (5) pairs of EXECOM.

The president and the senior sister are attending its upper households with the campus program volunteer. The president, together with the senior sister, is able to conduct households with the CAMPUS EXECOM.

NOTE: Campuses with college divisions can have college presidents and senior sisters as heads of chapter and each college acting as one chapter. If some numbers of households within college department are not big enough to act as chapter, two colleges can be joined to act as one chapter having one college president and senior sister (e.g. college of education having one household and college of science having two households can be combined to have one chapter). In this setting, a campus on a cluster level may have more than five (5) chapters.

D. YFC CAMPUS BASED AREA STRUCTURE

Campus Based Program structure is designed to manage and provide the best possible organizational flow of campuses in the area in terms of its growth and sustenance. Hence, each campuses handled is assigned with a consideration of availability and proximity of the ass by each person to ensure its growth and sustenance.

i. BASIC STRUCTURE (Pastoral and Service)

The basic structure in the Campus Based Program is composed of the Campus Based Couple Coordinator and Campus Program Youth Head as the top leadership of the program in the area. Under them are the program volunteers who handle at least two (2) to three (3) campuses at most. A program volunteer is needed to fully carry out the formation and sustain the program in each of the campuses assigned to them. Program Volunteers (PV) are picked and assigned with the following considerations:

a. Availability of the Volunteer’s schedule

The sector/province/country must consider whether or not the volunteer can be present in all activities of the campuses assigned to them.

b. Area of Proximity

The sector/province/country must also consider if the volunteer is located (whether residence, school, or work location) near the school assigned.

CAMPUS YOUTH HEAD

(13)

NOTE: in order to consider faster and easier building of relationships, the area can have special considerations in assigning the PV based on how well they can fit in the crowd of the school assigned to them.

The PV will conduct lower households to the presidents and senior sisters in the area. This means that a household will consist of:

o Two PVs (of the same gender) who will take turns in leading the households. This implies that the Campus Based Couple Coordinator and Campus Program Youth Head should choose one (1) PV as the head, and another as the assistant. The PV assigned to a specific set of schools still maintains their pastoral accountability to the schools assigned.

o Given all PVs are preferably brothers in order to fully uphold male empowerment and leadership. PV sisters are only assigned to exclusive girl schools.

o The sisters household which is composed of senior sisters and female presidents (for exclusive girl schools) in the area will be handled by female campus program youth head.

o In cases that the senior sisters/female presidents are more than five (5), a female PV (whether as provision or not) can be assigned to take care of the remaining senior sisters.

o All PVs will be having their upper household with the Campus Program Couple Coordinator and Youth Head of the sector/province/country or the Area Program Couple Coordinator (APCC) and Area Program Youth Head (APYH), if applicable.

(14)

ii. FULL BLOWN STRUCTURE

As evangelization continues to thrive in the area, the area might go through certain difficulties in order to handle its growth. Issues like lack of manpower in leading the schools, and geographical location of schools may arise as a province/sector/country begins to increase in its number of schools. As this happens, the sector/province/country may consider handling the program through the following:

As the number of schools continues to increase, the area (province/sector) may add a Campus Area Couple Coordinators (CACC) and Campus Area Youth Head (CAYH) to accommodate the additional schools and provide better handling of these schools in an area.

The province/sector/country may now appoint a Campus Area Couple Coordinator and Youth Head within its structure to handle at least four (4) program volunteers. This implies that one area handles eight (8) schools.

CAMPUS AREA COUPLE COORDINATOR AND CAMPUS

AREA YOUTH HEADS

PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER

(15)

Assigning of Campus Area Couple Coordinators and Youth Heads may arise due to the following needs:

 A Sector/Province/Country reaches more than 10 schools, thus, being too much for the A Sector/Province/Country Campus Couple Coordinator and its Youth Head to handle.

 A Sector/Province/Country has schools that are difficult to reach in terms of its geographical location thus needing to appoint a person that is closer to that area. The Campus Base Area Couple Coordinator and Youth Head will have the following roles and responsibilities:

a) Conduct lower households with the program volunteers in their area

b) Collect and consolidate all reports and updates with regard to its status in the schools, from the program volunteers

c) Reports to the Campus Youth head and Campus Couple Coordinator d) Acts as a resource person to the schools in their respective areas

iii. AREAS WITH FULLTIME WORKERS/MISSION VOLUNTEERS

In order to further our mission on evangelization, fulltime workers and mission volunteer are assigned specific roles and responsibilities in order to assist us in our growth. In this structure, there is specific link between the fulltime worker and mission volunteers to the area that they are serving in.

Note: This structure is applicable if there is a fulltime pastoral worker’s presence in the A Sector/Province/Country In this setting, Campus Fulltime workers are to be divided in order to target two specific goals of the campus program:

Flagship

 Handles all strategic schools in the area throughout their term in the program CAMPUS COUPLE COORDINATOR CAMPUS YOUTH HEADS PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER

CAMPUS/ES CAMPUS/ES CAMPUS/ES

FULTIME PASTORAL WORKER AND MISSION

VOLUNTEER

FLAGSHIP / EXANSION

(16)

NOTE: Strategic schools are defined as schools that are considered prominent, can have a great influence through its students in an area, and has a great potential for growth.

 The goal is to sustain the growth of the strategic schools though consistent households, constant implementation of pastoral formation tracks, thorough application of program directions, and innovation of strategies for the mission.

 The FTW is assigned at least three (3) to five (5) campuses.

Expansion

 Handles the opening of all campuses

 The goal is for them to initiate and start-up schools, work on it until it reaches the CHAPTER level.

 Once it reaches the Chapter level, the school handled is to be handed over to the sector/provincial/area program youth head to assume responsibility over it.

NOTE: The Chapter level is defined s schools where in the YFC organization has a complete set of officers, has been able to conduct a youth camp, and ahs regular households and prayer meetings.

There are instances that an area may only have one (1) FTW and one (1) MV. In these cases, both major responsibility may be divided among the two, handling only one (1) to two (2) campuses each.

In some cases, an area may have either one of the two. In these cases, the one present in the area should take up both major responsibilities, and have one target school for each responsibility. (e.g. one flagship school and one school for expansion)

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who will I look for if I plan to start up YFC in my campus?

The YFC Campus Based Program Team or Any YFC Mission worker c/o the Couples for Christ. Look for your Campus Program Head and/or Couple Coordinator; or the Fulltime Mission worker in charge of your area.

Do we need a Fulltime Pastoral Worker assigned to us before we can start to establish the YFC Campus Program in our school?

NO! All that is needed is a YFC student, professor or employee within the campus who feels the calling to bring Christ to his/her campus. The YFC Fulltime Mission worker will be your resource and will just assist you in establishing YFC in your school. The initiative must come from within the campus.

Who will oversee and guide us as we set up YFC Campus?

Once a person initiates establishing YFC in his/her campus, and has contacted the local Campus Based Program Team for the necessary information and guidelines, he/she is inserted into a Campus Household. The household head of this group takes on the role of overseeing the set up of YFC in that Campus. The household head may be a Campus Program Volunteer, Campus Program Head, Mission Volunteer or a Fulltime Pastoral Worker.

We are having problems gaining official recognition from our school administration. Can we still set up a YFC Campus group?

Yes! YFC Campus Based may be established with or without official recognition from the campus administration as long as they are connected and guided by the Campus Program Team of the area. However, YFC Campuses without official recognition may experience limited access to school facilities and support from their school administration.

APPENDIX 1

YFC CAMPUS FRESH PROGRAM

RATIONALE:

Every year there are YFC members who graduate from High School and move on to universities or colleges to pursue their studies. During this transition, many of the youths lose contact with their former area of service, thus sometimes lose pastoral care. This is especially true to those who are moving to study in another area or city. In support of the belief of CFC, YFC also believes that the community is a womb to tomb ministry. This means that pastoral care is different and needed in every stage in life.

With the youth entering into a new world in college, it is necessary for them to have a stable and reliable support group, and strong relationship with God as they venture further into their academic life. Thus, the YFC Freshmen Care Program is designed to create a support environment for our brothers and sisters who are moving on to a different level both in the area of service and in their education, specifically in the campuses where there is YFC.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To let the freshmen experience the YFC Fundamentals of Fun, Friendship, Faith and Freedom in the campus setting

2. To provide pastoral care and continuous spiritual growth as they move up to a higher level of education

3. To create a support environment for the freshman through establishing strong and trusted friendships through YFC as they start their campus life

GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING THE PROGRAM:

1. The Campus Fresh Care Program is implemented as a support program for both incoming YFC and Non-YFC Freshmen in the Campus with the following elements:

a. Spiritual and Peer Support. The households in the campuses will play a very important role in the whole program. Each household will adopt an appropriate number of incoming freshmen to pastor. The household head is accountable for the nourishment of these freshmen.

b. Physical support. The household should also look after the physical needs of freshmen assigned to them. (e.g. Familiarization of the area, showing them the affordable places to eat, how to take public transportation, where to buy groceries, etc.) It is the responsibility of the household to orient the freshmen on the peculiarities of their school culture.

c. Academic Support. The household should help the freshmen on the academic aspect, such as giving tips on how to get better grades, assisting them in their enrollment or school transactions, looking for people who can lend them textbooks and other references etc. 2. This program operates even before the school year starts. There are two things to consider in

(29)

For YFC Freshmen:

a. Coordination with the other YFC programs by the campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads (e.g. Community Based, HS Based etc.) is essential before the school year starts.

b. The Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads may coordinate to the other YFC Programs to gather list of incoming freshmen from their areas. Information sheets should be filled out and submitted to the Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads. (see attached sample Information sheet)

c. Once the names of the incoming freshmen are submitted, the Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads may now endorse the names to the respective campus leaders to communicate with them.

d. The YFC Campus Core /EXECOM will now take charge in assigning the freshmen to a respective household. The household assigned will be in charge of helping and assisting the freshmen until they are fully transitioned in a permanent household.

For Non-YFC Freshmen:

The YFC Fresh Care Program can also be a tool in evangelizing freshmen who are not yet members of the community. Before the end of the program the campus should see to it that Non-YFC registrants are informed and encourage attending the nearest possible schedule of youth camp in the campus.

a. YFC’s in the campuses can set up a YFC Fresh Care Booth on the first week of classes and prepare signup sheets with proper coordination and permission with the school administration. e.g. letter to administration

b. The YFC Fresh Care Booth should create attraction especially to the freshmen. YFC’s can make simple giveaway’ freebies or giveaways to those who will sign up. (E.g. Campus Map, List of suggested Food Shops, Campus Tips etc)

c. At the end of the sign up, the NON-YFC freshmen will also be distributed to the households, allowing them to experience the culture that we have in YFC.

d. Non-YFC freshmen are encouraged and followed up to join the Youth Camp at the end of the Fresh Care Program.

3. The Fresh Care Program will be implemented on the first month of the opening of classes on a per campus level and should be monitored by the campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth head / Campus Program Volunteer.

4. The Fresh Care Program will end with the Campus FRESH Party. 5. Suggested Line up of Activities for the Month

APPENDIX 2

CAMPUS TOUR

RATIONALE

The traditional means of attracting people, especially the young, to a Christian way of living no longer appears to be effective. The changing times and trends also require change and added dynamism to the way we craft our communications and activities that we use for evangelization.

The Campus Tour is basically a celebration of Christ’s love in each campus. This is YFC’s version of College week, Business week, Organization week wherein a series of activities are conducted to promote an organization or a particular cause. YFC’s, however, promote only Christ in the Campus Tour, nothing more, and nothing less. It is an evangelization tool to creatively introduce Christ in the campuses through a series of activities done within the campuses where YFC is present.

Activities created for Campus Tour target to bring awareness to, involve, and evangelize other student organizations, student body leaders, niche groups, varsity players and other students. The primary purpose of this activity is to market Jesus to everybody in the Campus, most particularly to those not yet members of YFC. Thus, the activities included in the Campus Tour should be made appealing even to the non-YFC members.

The Campus Tour should also serve as a tool that will motivate and help YFC members to live by God’s direction not only in action and words, but most importantly, in character.

OBJECTIVES

1. To introduce Jesus to Non-YFC members through a series of activities conducted in the campuses.

2. To provide a starting point for non-YFC members to deepen their faith

3. To create a venue for YFC members to express and share the God’s love that is celebrated during campus tour

GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING THE EVENT

1. The Campus Tour happens every last quarter of the academic year. 2. Activities during the duration of the Campus Tour can happen:

 Within each Campus involving their own set of officers and Campus tour teams.

 Within the vicinity of other campus within the area. It can, then, be an area wide activity spearheaded by the Campus program sector/provincial/country coordinators and youth heads / Campus Program Volunteers with the involvement of all YFC campuses. 4. The theme will be different each year. The theme will come from the direction of the

international campus based team, also coming from the yearly direction of the bigger community in Couples for Christ. However, in certain agreed upon areas and up to extent, the YFC campuses can tailor fit their themes to their respective setting.
