Who would ever expect that the "Just Chill," most relaxed MVC-SN batch would be able to  get together as early as 3 years after graduation and do something life changing?

Sunrise Over Angkor Wat

by Regin Reyno

One of the most famous sunrises in the world, is the sunrise over Angor Wat. A Hindu temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia which was built in 1112 AD by King Suyavarman II of the Khmer Empire. The most powerful empire in Southeast Asia during the 9th century. Many people actually wanted to witness this sunrise, as it is so stunning and a breathtaking experience. Many postcards being sold in Siem Reap, regarding Angkor Wat, depicts the sunrise. Paintings of the famous temples being sold in the market also portray the marvelous sunrise. It is so famous that, according to blogs that I've read, thousands of tourists flock early in the morning, in Angkor Wat, with all their tripods, cameras, video cams, just to witness the sunrise.

As a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, we talked and discussed about the topic, "Creation Care", in our Sabbath School on February 25, 2012.


And I am impressed to write about my feelings toward caring for the creation which God made for us to "dress and keep" (Genesis 2:15).

11 days, 2 Countries, 1 Mission

by Regin Reyno

On July 23, 2012, we will embark on an 11-day backpacking and ministry trip. Our destination? Thailand and Cambodia. In backpacking, the destination is not just the main point but the journey itself. Most of us will start from Mindanao then all the way to Luzon before flying to Thailand. Here's an interactive map of our trip.

10 Reasons to Join the Backpacking and Ministry in July

by Regin Reyno

Feet First. Klement's Male Chorus

     1.     The Holy Spirit tells us so. The Lord is soon to come. We must work while the day lasts; for the night is coming, in which no man can work.

The Lord calls for every talent of means and ability to be put to use.--Ellen G. White, Manuscript page 308

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8

God calls for volunteers to work in His vineyard. In Cambodia we will be doing church services programs, tract and book distribution, home visitations, and orphanage feeding program. Meanwhile we will offer songs of encouragement to patients in Bangkok Adventist Hospital.  By doing these small things, the Lord will bless it and it will reap great results. 

Ministry to Cambodia

by Regin Reyno

   Klement Backpacking and Ministry plans to go to Cambodia to minister there. What will be our ministry there?

   Last May, Jessielyn and I had a chance to visit an SDA church in Siem Reap, Cambodia. We were able to attend their Sabbath services. It was a heartwarming experience to know and witness that there are SDA’s in that predominantly Buddhist country. But at the same time, it’s sad to know that there are only a few of them. And their Sabbath service needs “life”. Since then, it became my burden to minister to them. To be an instrument of the Holy Spirit in strengthening the spiritual lives of the members so that their light may shine more brightly till it reaches other souls.

Why Klement ’09?

by Ephraim Arriesgado

   You may have this question in your mind right now, “Why Klement ’09?” To answer this, let me introduce to you this special group of people.

   Klement ’09 is the name of our batch who has graduated last March 2009 at Mountain View College, Valencia City, Bukidnon, Philippines with the degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing. In short, we are nurses by profession. As far as I can remember, we are 120-plus individuals who come from the different parts of the Philippines (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) and around the world (some are from the U.S.A. and Korea).

          St. Augustine, a theologian and philosopher once said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” Travelling indeed imparts wisdom to the traveller. The experiences encountered along the way, the sights, the sounds, the emotions, all contribute to the traveller’s knowledge, which will enable him/her to become a better individual because of his/her travels. 

            That's what I love about travelling. It's the important lessons that you get along the way. It's your experiences, your newly explored sights, the discoveries that you make, that will transform you into a better individual.  

            Your once naive mind sheltered in a cocoon, but because of travelling, will have broader horizons. You'll have better idea of what the world is and your perception will widen. So wide that you realize that there are vast amount of things not taught in school.
