Hi
Confused Camper! Thank you for informing us about what you feel sa SEP
in Camiguin. We appreciate your courage and honesty. Guess you've shown
that we are a family and that we should be open to one another about our
feelings. Thank you.:) Well, about the "weren't acting like
Christians", we have to think that one of the missions of our
church is REACHING OUT to others-- who haven't really known Jesus
Christ. We are to mold them through the Holy Spirit to become true
Christians. We don't know who are their influencers. Guess we should
take the camp as a total blessing nalang. like a paper which has two
sides to it. :) blessing-- for we have gained many friends, some who've
grown in the church and others whom we are trying to reach out; and we
have seen some of them accepted Christ as their Personal Savior.:) -adelle

Hello
confused camper!! I am saddened to read that you felt that way about the
previous camp. But you must remember that first and foremost Christians
are sinners too. We make up the body of Christ, but through faith in him
and by the Lord's grace we are forgiven for our transgressions and are
molded to become like him. Indeed it was a horrible thing that those we
know have acted "un-Christianly" towards others, but it is now
in the Lord's hands to hold judgment on them, not ours. Rather than
emphasizing on the negative aspects of the camp, why not accentuate the
positive outputs) instead? Didn't everyone in the camp enjoy? Weren't
there some who got baptized? Wasn't it memorable for those who have
never been to Camiguin? Haven't you made more friends? Finally, what
have you learned from all the activities? Because trust me, if you
scrutinize every detail about the camp, it will only boil down to this:
it isn't perfect! Not even you! There is not a perfect camp in the
world, no perfect counselor, no perfect camper! No matter how much you
look for one, you won't find it in a gazillion years.
I would just like to make a comment though about the "stuff that
really matters" (and this just my opinion really hehe). Isn't
following Christ in a fast-paced, selfish world more important than
"sex, vices, [and] relationship"? If we don't know how to be
good ambassadors of the Lord 'out there', then we're really in big
trouble! Temptation would be within arms reach and we'll be driven into
the negativities of these things you mentioned. Yes, temptation around
us is strong. But the Lord is stronger and he will not let us be tempted
beyond what we can bear, and when we are tempted, he will provide a way
out (1 Cor. 10:13). That is the 'prize' of knowing the Lord's will and
following Christ all our days: we will be guarded, armored, shielded and
strengthened from all these by Him from whom we came. :D
But I thank you, Confused Camper, for your bravery to speak out your
mind. I wish you have written these down in the evaluation we handed out
last camp so that we can improve future camps, as well as ourselves. I
hope to see you and meet you next time. For now, remain in the Lord and
delight in him. God bless! --- veejay

thanks
for the comment 'confused camper'. be patient with the staff my dear,
they are also in God's grinding board, no one is perfect right??Ü
however, even if we scold or talk to some of the campers, we can't
really control them all of the time. they have mind of its own, they
know how to decide. we can only teach them what is right and wrong, not
control or choke them. its up to them to listen by heart or listen by
ear.Ü

comment
lang on the summer camp in camiguin...i noticed that some campers and
even counselours weren't acting like Christians. Hindi it was soppose to
show that Christians dont care for outside appearance? How come I heard
some counselours talk about a certain camper like she wasnt human? They
even tolerated other campers from calling her names like Jopay that is
meant to ridecule...i'm really confused...and the topics...i can't, and
i guess most of the others too, can't relate to them. the camp didnt
discuss stuff that really matters like sex, vices,
relationship...there's nothing wrong about discussing the biblical stuff
but its different when ur in the camp and when your not! temptations are
abound in the outside, we all know that..i guess next time the camp will
be much better...confused camper
Comment:
There were 73 campers and 47 of them attended camp for the
first time. Many of them are non-church members, do not attend church or are attending
occasionally. The reason why we have a camp is
to reach out to these youths (including counselors and staff) so that
they will invite Jesus into their lives and become Christians. I am not
surprised if some "weren't acting like Christians" in these
camps. We cannot change in four days what character they have developed
for many, many years. But I'm sure God will work in each one of them in
His own good time. Let us give them a chance to grow. It takes time
(years) to come to maturity.
Have
you invited Jesus into your life? If so, then congratulations and thank
God that He is patient too with your mistakes every now and then.
By
the way, 14 of these teenagers decided to invite Jesus into their lives
and got baptized. That's something worth celebrating! To me, that is
really the "stuff that really matters" -- that the youths
think it's important to accept Jesus into their lives. Sex and vices
will become of less importance and will eventually become no longer a
problem if we have a deep relationship with Jesus.

information of everybody.. before the camp, sarah went on for an
immersion somewhere in the outskirts of cebu. so on that day when she
made up her mind to attend the camp, she needed to take a bus to go to

Madel. Just enjoy your teenage years. Without realizing it, you'll soon
be a "single" also pagdating ng panahon. Look at the singles

Comment: The Davao
youths and singles actually had one last December 2004 at Epol falls at
the Marilog District in Davao City. It's cold there like Baguio City.
Gusto n'yo ba sa December? Since wala tayong winter, tawagin na lang natin na Youth
Christmas Camp or something like that.
