STUDENT METHODIST ACTIVE IN CAMPUS KIRK (SAMCK)

SMACK is one of the mission arms of the NUMYFP. Its vision is ”“A UMC-initiated campus ministry that seeks to establish a caring community, relevant scholarship and a strong Church. SMACK is derived from the dictionary meaning of “smack” that means “a fishing boat especially one with a well for keeping the fish alive”; and “a strife with a loud soun

d”. SMACK is an initiative of the National UMYFP in April 2006. It was formally launched on July 30, 2006 at UMC Good Samaritan, Quezon City. Around 60 students attended the first SMACK General Assembly. And in 2007 the SMACK Handbook was published with Mighty Rasing and Earlie Pasion, former NUMYFP presidents, as authors. University of the Philippines (Diliman) Methodist Student Movement (UPMSM) became the pioneer Campus Ministry under SMACK. It was established in June 2006 and was immediately recognized as a student campus organization by the Office of the Students Affairs. The first forum was held last May 20-23, 2009 at Wesleyan University – Philippines. It was attended by around 100 Campus Ministers around the Philippines. The Vision of creating SMACK came from the general observation that there is an apparent decrease in number of college students who attend UMYF activities. One of the reasons identified is that college age young people feel too old to join the youth activities and mingle with the increasing numbers of youngsters. In addition, more young people are leaving their provinces to pursue college education in the cities. With the large number of UMYFers moving to metropolitan areas for college, most of them cannot fully integrate themselves in the UMYF chapters in the city churches. Also, there are few or no UMC-initiated campus ministries reaching out to these young people. As such, they look for other young people’s ministries or organizations where they can be involved. They join ministries that reach out and cater to their spiritual needs. As a result of their integration, they become members of new churches and later on forget their Methodist Heritage.
