Youth, Choir, and Mission: A Journey of Saying Yes to God

Kumusta, mga kaibigan! In this special episode of JOSh Friends, Josh Malalis, a dedicated campus minister from Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan, shares his reflections on Balik Lantaw by Fr. Mateo Sanchez, SJ. As someone who has served the Church for 18 years—starting as a youth leader and choir member at a young age—Josh deeply connects with Fr. Mat’s inspiring journey of mission and service. Fr. Mat’s diary entry from February 3, 1996, captures the excitement of awaiting his mission assignment to Bukidnon and the burning desire to serve the Lumad community. Josh draws parallels to his own calling, sharing how service is about showing up, being ready, and saying 'yes' to God’s plan, no matter how uncertain the path may seem. ✨ Be inspired by stories of faith and dedication.
