rejoice and be glad - YMG December update
This month marked a joyful and reflective close to the YMG year, celebrating the strength of brotherhood, the gift of fellowship, and all that God has accomplished among us. Through shared moments of laughter, celebration, and faith, December reminded us of the importance of gathering together—to rejoice, to give thanks, and to remain anchored in Christ as we prepare for the year ahead.
🎳When Fellowship strikes - Bowl Together, Win Together
📅 December 5th 2025
With the end of the YMG session for the year earlier this month, our brothers came together for a round of bowling, filled with plenty of strikes, spares, and friendly rivalry that only added to the fun. It was an awesome opportunity to slow down, enjoy one another’s company, and strengthen the brotherhood we’ve built throughout the year.
To finish the night, the brothers showcased their impressive video game skills—whether flying solo or going head-to-head—bringing lots of laughs and good-natured competition. Nights like these are a reminder of the value of fellowship and the strong bonds formed when we gather together. We’re grateful for everyone who made it such a great night and are excited for what the year ahead holds.
🎄falala - its YMG CHRISTMAS time! ✝️
📅 December 13th 2025
That’s a wrap! The men of YMG came together to celebrate the festive season with a spectacular YMG Christmas night. It was an evening filled with joy, laughter, and incredible food, creating the perfect setting for fellowship and celebration.
Throughout the night, a variety of activities took place, with groups battling it out in friendly competition to claim victory. One of the highlights was Bad Santa, which stirred a mix of emotions—disappointment, shock, joy, and plenty of confusion—as each gift was picked, swapped, and unwrapped, bringing many surprises along the way.
It was truly uplifting to see the bright smiles shared among faith-filled brothers gathered in genuine community. While the night was full of fun, it was also a reminder that this season is about more than exchanging gifts. It is a season of giving—of offering our time, presence, and hearts to one another. May we continue to bring Christ back into Christmas.
⚓anchored program ends - excellence begins
📅 December 22th 2025
The Anchored Program for 2025 has come to an end yet it all the hard work was not for nothing. What lays ahead is the journey to growth and strving for excellence, anchoring ourselves to Christ DAILY. There’s a spiritual battle we ought to face, which is impossible to do on our own - that is why we are called to cling to Christ and seek to be surrounding by brothers who will fight with and for us. This program was met with many challenges but what it taught us is the need for ongoing prayer, fraternity and discipline.
This program was a the training ground where we commited ourselves to everyday to each of the three pillars. Prayer, helped us keep our focus and developed our intimacy with Christ. Fraternity, each day we humbled ourselves and allowed our brother to keep us accountable. Discipline, we subjected ourselves to exercise and fasting not to simply say no but yes to Christ, offering our sacrifice to something greater.
This may be the end of the program but it is the start to a life of freedom which calls to mind a DAILY SURRENDER and SACRIFICE only won through GOD alone.
