From the Church

Did you know that the Church just opened an FSY facility in Asia?

Marking a significant milestone to strengthen the rising generation, Asia’s first “For the Strength of Youth Facility” was unveiled on June 7, 2023. This unique complex, specifically designed for FSY conferences, stands as a testament to the commitment to nurturing and helping the youth have fun, strengthening their faith in Jesus Christ, and feeling joy and belonging as they live the gospel.

Nestled on a vast 24-acre property in Tanay, Rizal, approximately 65 kilometers east of Manila, the facility is poised to welcome up to 7,200 youth and leaders annually. Additionally, it will cater to around 600 participants on a weekly basis, hailing from diverse locations including Metro Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga, Bataan, Zambales, Laguna, Batangas, Lucena, Rizal, Cavite, and Quezon.

The facility’s opening day was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication event. Leaders from different faith backgrounds, government representatives, and civic figures attended the ceremony, reinforcing the community’s commitment to youth development.

The day also included a guided tour of the facility, conducted by young adults who introduced the guests to the venue’s well-planned features. These amenities include dormitories for leaders and youth, meeting rooms, an auditorium, a pavilion, an amphitheater, and a small Church History Museum that tells stories of faith and resilience.
