Numerous approaches are used to reach out to high school
students. In cases where a REACH member is a schoolteacher,
a natural link to the students is established since Filipino
culture still respects the authority of teachers and elders
in society.
Teachers are finding increasing freedom to inject values
and spiritual inputs in class. They also invite students to
after school fellowships and Bible studies where students
are helped to sort through issues in their lives with a biblical
foundation and find security in Christ and with each other
as a body of believers.
Film showings and values seminars on campus or an evangelistic
video showing in a REACH member's home have introduced many
young people to Jesus Christ. Interactive sessions help instill
the main point of each lesson.
Home visitation introduces the ministry and workers to the
parents. A highlight of each year is the annual high school
summer camp, which mixes fun with further teaching and allows
students to develop new friendships with students from other
ministry areas.
