I was given an opportunity to attend a camp, “Senior Youth Camp 2015” last May 10-15 at the Higatangan Island Beach Resort, Naval, Biliran, with the camp verse Colossians 3:12-7 / Timothy 2:1-7.
The theme set apart means being holy, forgiving and loving. Being set apart for the God is the thing that I really desire and the thing that reflects to me the most is the words of our God.
This was my first time to attend a camp and for that I was thankful to God for giving me a chance. When we were already at the camp, at first, I feel like I was kind of out of place with everyone but still I was blessed for what God wants me to carry out.
I thought it was going to be a little bit boring but as time passed, I enjoyed my days at the camp and with the other youths and it was the most memorable and treasured part of my life for I have learned and experience things I have never done before in my entire life.
Our cell group leaders asked us on what are we going to entrust to our God? I told the leaders that I will keep on going to be commited and setting apart with God.
After the sessions and preaching during the Testimony Time I have then realized, that I would entrust my whole life to God as my savior and redeemer. I also realized on how much God loves us because of his son “Lord Jesus Christ” died on the cross for our sins so that we could be forgiven and go to be with the Lord.
During the Testimony Time, I always asked God to gave me strength to share with everyone.
I have shared to them about the things that happened on the entire camp and the words of our God, and on what I have learned on the Youth Camp.
I will treasure this memories forever and I want to express gratitude to those people who has been a part of my stay on the camp.
