A Summer Full of Faith, Growth, and New Beginnings
As soon as the final preparations for our Summer GoCamp 2026 were complete, our campgrounds began filling with children, teenagers, and staff from all of our ministry locations. This year, we were blessed to welcome 260 participantsfor an incredible week of fellowship, growth, and God's presence.
Each day was filled with worship, Bible teaching, personal development, workshops, and joyful community. Every morning began with small group devotions before everyone gathered for a dynamic time of worship. In age-specific groups, we explored the lives of biblical men and women, discovering valuable lessons we can apply to our own lives.
The afternoons were just as exciting. Creative, athletic, and hands-on workshops gave everyone the opportunity to discover and develop their gifts and talents. At the same time, small teams of our teenagers and staff went out each day into different neighborhoods to lead children's programs filled with games, songs, and biblical values.
The evening services were especially powerful, as many experienced a deep encounter with God. We witnessed great joy, healing, personal transformation, and spiritual growth throughout the week. One of the highlights was our baptism service at the beach, where 12 children and teenagers made the decision to publicly declare their faith in Jesus and be baptized. Year after year, we see this camp become a life-changing spiritual milestone for many young people.
During the second part of the camp, our older teenagers and staff traveled to Bantayan Island, where they partnered with local churches for outreach events in schools and on the beach. Through dance, music, and drama performances, they joyfully shared the message of God's love with many people.
In the middle photo below, you can see Alon (name changed). He first came to our children's home as a young boy in desperate need, carrying deep wounds—both physically and emotionally—from a very difficult past. At first, he struggled greatly, often scratching and biting other children, throwing stones at staff members, and repeatedly running away from school. But with God, no life is beyond hope. Today, Alon has been wonderfully transformed. He enjoys learning, is kind and helpful, and has become a blessing to those around him. His decision to be baptized is a beautiful testimony to the life-changing work Jesus has done in his heart.
Thank you so much for your prayers and faithful support. Your partnership makes stories like Alon's possible.
