AM USA Chapters Prepare to Launch 'No Greater Love' Valentine's Day Event
Apostolos Missions International in the U.S. is preparing to launch a Valentine's Day event called "No Greater Love." Valentine's Day is a holiday that focuses on horizontal love, particularly in romantic relationships. However, U.S. chapters will use the opportunity to testify to God's love.
The fellowship event title, "No Greater Love," comes from John 15:13--Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. Valentine's Day can be a time where university students feel lonely or distanced from others because they lack deep relationships of love. However, human love can never fully satisfy man. What man longs for is the love of God to quench the innate thirst of our souls.
The event is designed to teach students about God's love that is incomparable to man's love. Man's love is conditional, selfish, and sometimes painful. Many young people have deep scars because of imperfect love. But God's love is unconditional and sacrificial. There is no love in the world like the love of God. He lays down His life for us so that we may know Him and be drawn deeper into His presence.
The AM HQ is providing flyers to U.S. chapters who request them. The flyer, created by AM Harvard leader, Ahran, can be printed and used to post around the school so that students can join the event.
The event can begin with a Bible study about God's love. It can come from John 15, or a passage of the minister's choice. Afterwards, students can share their reflections and experiences. Valentine's Day candies can be prepared with a verse taped to each candy. Everyone can pick their verse and share the message God has given them.
Please pray that the event can be an opportunity for mass evangelism so that students can come to know God's love and a community of Christ through AM.
