Blackaby Seminar at CCM

Yesterday (Friday, February 29th) we had the honor of hearing from Dr. Richard Blackaby and his son Daniel at the City College of Manila.

The title of the seminar was Students as Future Leaders. Dr. Blackaby and Daniel spoke to the students about overcoming adversity, making your life count, and living with no regrets.

Many of the students who attended were from the City College of Manila, the host campus. We also had (college and high school) students from other nearby campuses. I am sure that this event was a blessing and inspiration to all who came.

What did the students have to say about this seminar? Here are a few quotes from their feedback forms:

“I’ve come to realize that an ‘average’ person just like me could make a difference.”

“God always has His purpose in everything that’s happening in your life. We should make a difference while we are alive, remembering to live according to God’s will.”

“God is a God of hope.”

“We must think positive and always believe that God is there to guide us.”

“Live your life in such a way that you won’t regret it when you look back.”

“Don’t settle for mediocrity–live a life that will influence others.”

Thank you, Richard and Daniel Blackaby, for inspiring us! Special thanks also to CCM for hosting this event!
