November 28, 2009 at IVCF Building, Don Antonio Hts., Diliman Quezon City

One hundred twenty seven (Sixty-five students and sixty- two graduates) young and young-looking dugong IV geared their flashy generation colors para Salubungin ang Bukang Lliwayway, the 56th IV Anniversary. Hugs, infectious laughter, giggles with snap shots and spiced –up the real picture of an IV event.

A breakfast fellowship over coffee and pandesal started the program. Kuya Erickson, National Director welcomed students and graduates from Metro Manila, Cavite and Los Baños. Then Tanglaw Christian Fellowship Chapter of PNU led the group in songs of worship.

A timely message on Nehemiah 1 from Kuya Frank Narra, volunteer graduate on Missions Team of IVCF, shared his reflections on our role as part of the ruined nation. The community responded in prayer for country and our leaders especially for the coming election.

Since IV day was intentionally an NC promo, we (Rein and Raff) introduced some of its session and speakers through a game and trivias. Everybody participated with enthusiasm and glee as they outwit each other with their great performances! Some were encouraged to pre-register and availed the freebies. The NC promotion ended with group prayer for the National Conference.

Another part of the program was the launching of IVCF National Library. IVCF recognized the big participation of MEANS, USA who funded and supported the library. Kuya Ramon Rocha represented MEANS received that plaque of appreciation.

A simple snack-lunch was served to complete and culminate the celebration.
