YYAM Leader: ROMMEL BALANDRA

Goals of YYAM

• Connecting with Jesus Christ – to foster the personal and communal growth and education of young adults toward a relationship with Jesus Christ leading to Christian maturity.

• Connecting with the Church – to make contact with youth and young adults and to invite and welcome them to participate in the life and mission of the Christian community, which proclaims Jesus Christ by preaching the Gospel.

• Connecting with the Mission of the Church in the World – to invite young adults, through healthy relationships, work, and studies, to embrace the mission of Christ to promote the building of the kingdom of God in the world today, thereby bringing about the transformation of society.

• Connecting with Peer Community – to help young adults develop relationships with peers who share similar values and beliefs which nurture and strengthen their faith, thereby creating communities of support.

Plans of YYAM

• Separate the youth from young adults – youth and young adults have different circumstances and experiences that lessons and activities need to be appropriately taught based on their levels.

• Encourage parents to be more supportive of the activities of the youth.

• Regular prayer meetings, bible studies and peer to peer outreach

• Organize events for community gatherings and engagement

• Continue the “Go Big and Go Home” project

• Youth: Parent – youth night; hiking, tubing and camping, etc.

• Young adults: game nights, book review, food crawl, night market, etc.
