Ang Aming Kuwento Hanggang Ngayon
Mula sa Maliit na Misyon sa Kampus Tungo sa Pandaigdigang Pagsasamahan ng Kabataan
Ang Youth Evangelical Fellowship (YEF) ay nag-ugat noong 2002, nang itatag ang Apostolos Campus Ministry (ACM) ni Dr. David Jang kasama ang mga estudyante mula sa Olivet Theological College and Seminary (OTCS). Noong 2003, nagsimulang umunlad ang ministeryo tungo sa magiging Youth Evangelical Fellowship, na may lumalagong pananawing abutin ang mga estudyante sa unibersidad sa pamamagitan ng Salita ng Diyos, pagiging alagad, at pangangaral.
Isang mahalagang bagong kabanata ang nagsimula sa New York City noong 2009, nang itatag ang YEF kasama ang mga estudyante mula sa Columbia University na inudyukan ng Espiritu Santo na magtipon para sa maliliit na pag-aaral ng Bibliya at ibahagi ang ebanghelyo ni Jesu-Cristo sa kanilang mga kapwa estudyante. Mula sa mga unang pagtitipong ito, lumago ang YEF na may malinaw na tuon: abutin ang mga estudyante sa unibersidad na uhaw sa Salita ng Diyos, tulungan silang lumago bilang mga alagad ni Jesu-Cristo, at magpalaki ng batang henerasyon na handang lumahok sa misyon ng Diyos.
Sa biyaya ng Diyos, nagpatuloy na umunlad ang ministeryo sa internasyonal. Pagsapit ng 2015, naabot ng misyon ng YEF ang mga kampus sa North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific, Southeast Asia, at South Asia. Ang paglago ng YEF ay sumasalamin sa paglalarawan ni Hesus sa Kaharian ng Diyos:
“It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the air can nest under its shade.” — Mark 4:31–32
Ang misyon ng YEF ay magpalaki ng batang henerasyong iibig sa Krus ni Jesu-Cristo, buong tapang na ipapahayag ang Kanyang sakripisyo at ang kapangyarihan ng Kanyang kaligtasan, at sabay na mangangarap para sa Kaharian ng Diyos. Matatag na naniniwala ang YEF sa internasyonal na paglago at sa paghahanda ng mga kabataan mula sa iba't ibang pinagmulan upang iukol ang kanilang sarili kay Jesu-Cristo at sa Kanyang Dakilang Utos. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtuturo ayon sa Bibliya, pagiging alagad, pangangaral, pagpapaunlad ng pamumuno, retreat, kumperensya sa misyon, at lokal na buhay ng pagsasamahan, layunin ng YEF na tulungan ang mga batang mananampalatayang masigasig na isabuhay ang pamumuhay na nakasentro sa Kaharian. Ang Youth Evangelical Fellowship ay kasapi ng World Olivet Assembly at kaanib na kasapi ng World Evangelical Alliance.
Mula sa mga unang ugat nito sa ministeryo sa kampus tungo sa internasyonal na pagsasamahan sa mga kontinente, ang kasaysayan ng YEF ay patotoo sa biyaya at katapatan ng Diyos.
Ang nagsimula bilang maliit na binhi ay patuloy na lumago sa pamamagitan ng mga pag-aaral ng Bibliya, pangangaral sa kampus, retreat, sentro ng misyon, kumperensya sa pamumuno, internasyonal na pakikipagtulungan, pagsasanay ng misyonero, at ang pag-aalay ng mga batang mananampalatayang tumugon sa tawag ng Diyos.
Ngayon, patuloy na tumitingin ang YEF sa hinaharap nang may pananaw para sa mas maraming kampus, lungsod, sentro ng misyon, at bansa. Habang itinatatag at pinapalakas ang mga chapter sa mahigit 60 bansa, nais ng YEF na magpalaki ng mga kabataang hindi lamang tatanggap ng ebanghelyo kundi magiging mga alagad, lider, at misyonerong magdadala nito sa iba.
Bawat estudyanteng naabot, bawat pag-aaral ng Bibliyang nabuksan, bawat lider na napalaki, bawat misyonerong naisugo, bawat kampus na napasimulan, at bawat bansang naabot ay nagiging isa pang kabanata sa kuwento ng gawain ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng YEF.
Mula sa maliit na butil ng mustasa tungo sa lumalagong internasyonal na misyon, patuloy na sumusulong ang YEF nang may pananampalataya—nagpapalaki ng susunod na henerasyong iibig kay Cristo, maglilingkod sa Kanyang Iglesya, at magdadala ng ebanghelyo sa mga bansa.
