JAMINDAN Capiz- Joining the joint
young people and young teens summer camp at Camp Peralta in Jamindan, Capiz was
a new and fun experience to me. It was my first summer camp outside the church
and I never regretted joining. I was blessed at the lessons learned and enjoyed
the five-day camp.
Our first day was very tiring. We
tried to catch the first trip to Iloilo so that we won’t be late. Then, rode a
bus to Jamindan. I was amazed by the number of campers there. There were at
least delegates coming from
church all around the Philippines. I was blessed by the new friends met,
get to know with and mingle. I also bonded with my manangs (sisters) and manongs
(brothers) well and enjoyed the closeness to nature (especially during the
trek). I was also blessed upon hearing the testimonies of the campers, hearing
God’s word, and during the praise and worship. The campers did not mind the
remoteness of the area, the distant from the session hall from the camping
ground nor the heat of the sun or coldness as long as they can worship the Lord
as one. I can see in everyone’s faces the eagerness to know God better, to
fellowship with Christians, and praise God.
It
was truly a fun experience. I would always remember the incredible camp
experienced this summer. My heart would always keep hold of the great memories
we all shared together as one for the glory of God.
Young
Teens Camp: Evolution 2002

GUINTUBDAN,
Bago City- A three-day and two-night young teens summer camp was held in Rafael
Salas Natural Park, Guintubdan, Bago City, Negros Occidental, May 9-11, 2002.
Even
for only short time being with the group God revealed numerous blessings. Yes,
"God is good- everything happen for a reason."
The
camp was themed, "Camp Evolution", an Italian word means evoluzione,
which is English language means growth. It aims to instill to each camper
the responsibility of growing as a Christian.
Not
just only numerous campers, He also blessed us with competent, honorable and
skilled camp directors, counselors as well as guest speaker.
The
fresh and greeny campsite also blessed the campers feeling the presence of God.
He showed us great provisions through abundant food.
The big
group and small group session as well devotionals gave us lots of insight and
challenge us to grow as mature Christians. The campers enjoyed the activities,
such as the banquet night and team challenges. The team challenges (guro, ameba,
relay, etc...) helped build our unity and cooperation as a group.
Indeed,
it was a good experience. The young teens had a lot more to learn and experience...
happiness, trials and temptations, etc,... but with the help of the Holy Spirit
we can overcome all of these. "Trials are not reasons to give up but
challenges to improve ourselves. Deficiencies are not excuses to back out
but inspiration to move out." I pray that anyone whose reading this will
blessed as I am... To God be the glory!
