Yes!!!!!! YES-Hatyai had its 1st Anniversary already... a year of blessings!
What is YES-Hatyai?
"YES! - Hatyai" is the acronym of Youth Empowerment Service in Hatyai. It is a Youth Ministry under the Cornerstone Chapel Hatyai.
YES!-Hatyai dreams to establish a youth ministry whose members cleave to a strong sense of purpose to serve God and His people through their God given gifts and talents.
It aims to empower the youth and prepare them for the work of service through regular Bible study meetings, discipleship training, mentoring, and in fellowshiping with one another.
We thank God for what He has done in the lives of the youth through this ministry. I am thankful to be part of this.
And yah last February 2 we celebrated its 1st Anniversary. Actually the exact date that it started was January 27, 2013. But since February is a heart month, we decided to join these two events last Sunday. :) so we had this.... "1st YES Anniversary & Heart Day Special Celebration"
Part of the program was the opening salvo by the Eksilah dance Team. and yahhhhh..we presented the dance "Joy Unspeakable" of Mandisa.
if we had the "GOD GIRL" of Jamie Grace last year, now here's the "JOY UNSPEAKABLE" of Mandisa. another memorable dance that we have! :)
