Youth camp - pictures

Before camp began, we surrounded the campgrounds with banners, declaring the place as belonging to the Lord.

Every morning began with a Bible study. Here I am teaching...I was a counselor for a group of ten 13-15 year olds.

A good friend came to visit and we sang together - Mark Schultz's "Remember Me." This was during one of the evening services.

Cheer dance competition! Every afternoon we (in four random groups) played games. In our counseling groups, we also participated in a singing competition and a spiritual cheer competition. It was definitely..interesting, to say the least.

Our bonfire on the last night....Before the bonfire some campers and leaders reenacted the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal.

With my and another counseling group - this was our group for the singing/cheer competitions.

Water baptism in the South China Sea took place on the last afternoon. Around 15 kids were baptized.

Every evening we of course had a service and praise and worship. We had a guest speaker from another church in Laoag come and speak for three nights -- wonderful teaching, but I could only understand some of what he said because he preached in Tagalog and I speak Ilokano. (Tagalog is a language, Ilokano a dialect, for those of you who don't know.)

And of course, we had lots of time to just have fun! Here we are on the beach before going to take a swim.
