Young people all over the world, just like you, have taken a valiant step of faith as believers in Christ. You bravely follow His word no matter how much the world teases and taunts you.
I’m not going to lie. It can feel lonely as a Christian, especially as temptations call out to you. Many teens struggle to avoid falling into the massive amount of media temptation and negative pop culture influence.
It can be challenging to keep your fire strong for Christ, especially when your friends make fun of you and temptation is all around you. But, the simple fact that you’re even reading this letter means you’re interested in becoming stronger in your faith and making a difference in the world for Christ.
Imagine being part of a global movement of young people from all over the world who’ve linked arms and hearts to make a difference in their church. Would you join?
After meeting with leaders from over 100 nations, we’ve seen some amazing examples of youth becoming leaders of their generation as they take an active part in church leadership, bringing their friends and family to Christ. We’ve witnessed as youths have stood up to become the backbone of their church and become the key to growing the congregation all over the world.
Leaders from all over the world are coming together to talk about this very issue at Jesus Global Youth Day in Manila, Philippines.
Hundreds of thousands of youth will be coming together to learn how to stand up and lead, and you need to be right in the middle of them. Finally, there’s a place where you will find friends from all over the world uniting to become strong and impact the world together.
We invite you to come and join hands and hearts with your peers from all over the world and become a changed generation, a generation that makes a difference when it seems like all hope for the church is lost.

Welcome to Jesus Global Youth Day.
Senior leaders from all over the world have come together as a Global Advisory Council to present the first-ever Jesus Global Youth Day. These leaders have recognized the need to effectively disciple the next generation, and they are inviting pastors and church leaders from all over the world to bring their youth group and youth leaders to Manila for Jesus Global Youth Day. Together, we will learn from successful world leaders as they teach us principles that we can take home and apply to our communities.

For the first time in history, leaders are coming from all over the world to be inspired and equip themselves with practical insights that will grow their youth groups and churches.

Some hostels and most hotels have internet access, and more and more cafes and retailers are providing Wi-Fi for their customers. It is not always free, however.
We recommend using apps like Skype, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger. Keep in mind that data charges will apply if the phone is not connected to Wi-Fi.
Most cell phones work in the Philippines. Call your phone company for the details of whether your particular phone is set up to work there, and what an international plan will cost you.
We advise each church group to set up an email list or a Facebook group to provide quick updates to parents back home.
It is recommended to be current on routine vaccinations. The CDC and WHO recommend the following vaccines for Philippines: typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and influenza.
We do not provide medical insurance. Please note that travelers are required to have proof of International medical insurance coverage. If your insurance is not international, please contact us and we can refer you to an organization that can supply it for the period you are overseas.
You should check with your insurance company to see if and under what terms you have coverage in the Philippines. If you do not have coverage, you can buy travelers’ medical insurance online. We can also refer you to an organization that can supply it for the period you are overseas.
If you are bringing prescription medication with you to Jesus Global Youth Day, you should bring the medications in their original bottles. If you are taking a critical medication, you should try to bring a backup prescription order from your doctor in English just in case you lose your medication.
It is a good idea for someone in the group to have a first aid kit containing diarrhea and constipation medication, as well as medications for cold and flu. Airborne or Emergen-C may be helpful supplements for travel as well. It is also important to prepare your body in advance for the demands of the event by eating healthfully, exercising, keeping hydrated, and getting plenty of sleep during the weeks leading up to your trip.
Mosquito repellent is relatively necessary in the city, and very necessary when going outside the city, especially when visiting the rainforest areas. Stronger repellent containing DEET is recommended.
The Philippines uses various outlet types from around the world. When booking your hotel, we advise asking if power plug adapters are needed. Also, electricity in Philippines is 220 Volts, alternating at 60 cycles per second. If you travel to Philippines with a device that does not accept 220 Volts at 60 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter. Using equipment at the wrong voltage is a sure way of destroying them.
The Philippines is a well-developed country. Everything you need will be available there, including toiletries and clothing.
A laundry facility is almost always available in hotels—a sink and your two hands. (Hand washing clothing may not be feasible in simple accommodations.) A good rule is to wash one or two things per night and let them hang to dry. If you are in need of a washer and dryer, availability varies by location. Laundromats/laundry services are also everywhere.
You will be able to leave your belongings at your lodging during the day and during the event. But, remember, never leave anything behind that you cannot bear to lose.
Our Jesus Global Youth Day Youth organizer will email your group leader with a suggested packing list before the event.
The Philippine Peso(₱)(PHP) is the official currency and is typically the only currency recognized for normal transactions.
Money changers are common in the Philippines, especially in large cities and at the airport.
Ask yourself: How many meals will I need to buy? (Keep in mind that most hotels provide breakfast depending on the hotel package you choose.) The amount needed will vary by tastes and spending habits, but roughly $500 for the basic itinerary should be more than enough.
