I can't express how GRATEFUL and OVERWHELMED I am with my IGNITE experience! Last May 26-28, I was able to attend a 3 day campus conference for the very first time. Although I cut some of my classes (oh no), it was truly worth it!! :)

It's not every day that I get to worship and praise God with 7000 other people! This experience has truly made me realize how many Christians there still are among this scary deceiving world. It has encouraged me to serve God even more. Truly, we can't do it alone and we need to surround ourselves with people who will bring out the best in us-- those who will spur us and and convict us to better Christians!
I am overwhelmed by the different campuses and I saw how God has truly been working in each and every one! We are a chosen generation and we are all called out to reach out to those who are in need of a Savior and lead them to the right path.
This was truly a powerful experience for me and I believe, for everyone else that attended! God was truly in the place and His grace and Holy Spirit was upon all! I had so many revelations and which has made me realize that my walk with God is just full of surprises! We will never have enough of His love because He reveals us new things every single day. We just need to continue to seek Him more no matter how far or how long you've already been a Christian.
Here are just some take homes from the talks :)
"Do you wonder why "superhero movies" are such blockbuster hits? It's because people would love to have their own supernatural powers! And the usual story line of these movies is: from normal or ordinary people, they turn into superheroes! For example, in Spiderman, he was just a nerd or what other people regard as the "typical loser" but who knew that he will turn out to be a superhero? In the same context, we are all made for more! God will use each and every one of us no matter what or who we are. He will equip us with the Holy Spirit and give us spiritual gifts, which is our very own spiritual power!"
"People around you affect the flame inside you."
"God is glorious. And by definition, glory means weight. By seeing and experiencing God's glory, everything else becomes light-- all our worries, problems and doubts in life."
"Spread the good news! Tell your friends, relatives, classmates-- everyone!! Don't doubt and ask 'What if noone will listen?' -- I ask you, What if someone responds?"
"1 Corinthians 10:13: No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. -- God doesn't promise that once you're a Christian, you will be free of temptations but He promises that even if you do, He will provide you a way out of it."
"God, drugs ka ba? High na high na ako siyo eh! Nakaka adik ka!"
These are just some of the most striking things for me and if you're interested in listening to the actual talks, check out Ignite's podcasts! :)

During the last day of Ignite, the La Salle Cluster all gathered in Cafe Breton! I felt so blessed to have such a Christian family!

I got goosebumps while watching these post Ignite videos! It did a great and wonderful job in capturing the powerful Ignite experience! But if you think the videos are amazing, it's not even half of the real experience :>
