An Invitation:

We will be accepting and publishing selected write-ups from young people. Young people who read the Baptist Chronicle are part of the Baptist Chronicle and so we are giving you the opportunity to share and publish your thoughts and experiences with us. Here are some suggested topics: personal testimonies of how you became a Christian, experiences in attending camps or spiritual retreats, your role in the church or at home, miracles that have happened or you have witnessed in your life, or experiences of leading someone to Jesus Christ. Please send your write-ups and any suggestions to revi_pereira@yahoo.ca with the subject as “Young People’s Corner”. You may also send a photograph of yourself to be published in the Baptist Chronicle or you may simply be anonymous if you want to.

Here’s a “tula’ from one of the young people from the Philippines:

ORAS NA TAMA
By: Shaddaime Dollisen
Bethany Baptist Church, Pangarap
Kalookan City

‘’Ang oras ay mahalaga’’
Yan na nga ang sabi nila.
Pero gamit dito’y tama ba?
Yan tanong ko sa kanila.

Tanong ko din sa sarili.
Sa pagmamadali nga’y
Nnakakalimutan ko na.
Manalangin at magpuri sa Mesiah.
Magbasa at umawit nang masaya.

Gamit sa oras tama pa ba?
Diba hindi na? !
Sabi nga ni Hesus ‘Seek first the kingdom’’
At ang iba ay idadagdag na lang Niya.
O yan ha? !Isa lang yan sa paalal.a
Kaya gamit sa oras ay itama na!
