WildSONs: The New Breed of Youth Party!
[ A Descriptive (Event) Feature ]
Nowadays, most of the young people are engaged in worldly pleasures such as bar hopping or going to night parties, drinking liquors and will go home wasted.
Those things are becoming normal in the modern times. But what they don’t know is they are exchanging the worth of their time in insignificant things. That’s why most of the youth don’t grow.
But there is one party that surely won’t get you drunk, won’t get you lost, and won’t get you wasted!
The super hyper youth party experience that I’m talking about is WildSONs or Wild Seeds Of the Nation! It is a youth gathering held in Cinema 5, Isetann Cinerama Complex, Recto every week from Wednesdays to Fridays with two service times every day from 3:00pm to 4:30pm and 4:30pm to 6:00pm. It is attended mostly by students from U-Belt 1 and U-Belt 2 such as PUP, FEU, RTU, TUP, PNU, PLM, Adamson, CEU and many more.
It is a service where the young people can experience the overflowing goodness and love of God in a very lively way!
First, there’s an icebreaker (sort of games and challenges) that also helps enhance the skills and thinking of the youth and helps boost their confidence, and for them to gain new friends as well!
Then there’s a band or called the praise and worship team that ministers and leads the youth to worship God through music. “There will be dancing, there will be singing, upon injustice we will tell of our God,” as the Christian song ‘The Hope of All Hearts’ says.
For the regular attendees, it’s already normal seeing them in a fashion of dancing and rocking out, praising and worshipping Jesus; but their common experience somewhat leaves a shock to new comers or they call them first timers, putting them into two categories – shocked new comers who are new to it and remain clueless of what’s happening; and shocked new comers joining in the hype in which the lyrics of the songs may also affect them. Either way, there is power in praise and worship because it sets the ground for people to ready their hearts upon receiving the Word.
After the praise and worship session follows a short teaching and prayer for giving thus giving way to the preaching delivered by a pastor.
This is the peak of the gathering; the most awaited; the most talked about – the Word. In every service, there’s a topic that is relevant to the youth and is always based on God’s Word. That’s why the youth attendees can always relate to what is being preached. It may be about and be applied to their studies, family, peers, ministry, love life or personal life.
Everything is rooted in the Word of God – in the Bible. And that’s how it really strikes the hearts of the young people that also gives them time to reflect and evaluate their selves while listening to the preaching.
As the preaching ends, there follows an altar call for those who came for the first time, telling what Christ has done for all of us, and inviting them to go to the front to show their selves to God as a symbol of response to His call. Then the pastor will be leading the prayer for them to accept Jesus Christ and make Him the Lord and personal Savior of their lives, not just to have a commitment to the church or to the organization or event, but a commitment to God. And that is the greatest decision that one should make in his/her life.
Then they will be welcomed by the regulars for them to feel the belongingness, that in WildSONs, they are one family, one church (people), and one body of Christ.
Before the gathering event ends, there will be a victory song as praise and thanksgiving and a way to bless our God as He blesses the young people by His Word. As they glorify God, you will witness the wildest and craziest people – singing, dancing, and jumping in an undignified praise!
If in a normal party, you’ll get drunk and tired, there in WildSONs, you’ll experience the hype of the party as never before! It empowers, strengthens, and uplifts your spirit! It is one of God’s tools to renew you and change your life!
WildSONs then is a party for God and a life-changing event which has a vision to win souls and make disciples, and has a goal to make every believer a leader of leaders, all for one purpose – to love God and to love people!
