From July 31 to August 12, CFAI once again hosted the long-awaited Summer Camp. The first week was on the CFAI grounds, where the more than 250 participants were able to use our newly renovated multipurpose hall for the first time. This year the focus was on how we as Christians can stand with a pure heart in a world full of compromise. Social media is all about outward appearance; but God looks at the heart. We want to encourage the younger generation to not make lazy compromises and to keep the heart pure. After the participants were equipped in the first week, all 250 people went on various evangelistic outreaches to the north of the island of Cebu in the second week. Divided into three teams, several thousand people were reached in a total of 12 locations.

The children and staff shared their personal experiences in life and how they found new hope in God for their lives. It is amazing to see the spiritual maturity and courage with which even the younger children approach strangers, tell them about God and pray for them. Many people were deeply touched by the testimonies of our children and wanted to learn more about this God who changes lives. All outreaches took place together with local churches, to which the people reached were invited.

Special this year was the arrival of a team from Germany who visited CFAI with 20 young people for 3 weeks. They were part of the camp and then did other evangelistic outreaches – working on the CFAI farm, food distribution and also outreaches on small remote islands.
