GCI in the Philippines recently held one of its youth camps (called SEP) in Luzon at the Alta Rios Resort in Alfonso, Cavite. There were 151 campers representing about 20 GCI congregations in Luzon.
The camp theme, Make Your Mark, encouraged participants to discover their unique God-given potential and make a difference in the world. When campers were asked if they would like to be part of SEP again next year, they shouted “yes!” and were excited to pray for it, to prepare early and to invite friends to join in.
In addition to camps held already in Luzon and Mindanao, others are scheduled for this summer in other parts of the Philippines. According to national director Eugene Guzon, the SEP program is one of GCI Philippine’s highest priorities in that it helps young people grow in their relationship with God and with the church. He commented further: “As our youth realize their identity in Christ and the ways that they can participate in his work, I know that their generation will make a wonderful mark in the church and in the world. To our young people—we love you and we praise God for you!”
Beautiful. Always enjoy reading about continued growth in the Philippines and the outstanding example set there.
