Evangelistic Camp

From August 16-18, we had our very first joint Evangelistic Camp. We were all thrilled to have seen 831 people gathered at the Rawlings Institute Campsite. This is a unique camp as about 65% of the participants were unbelievers some of which have never ever heard the Gospel from anyone before. Needless to say, we have run into some difficulties as we were prepared for a maximum of 600 campers only. However, the difficulties vanished when we saw over 300 souls saved and over 100 baptized at the camp swimming pool. We can not express our appreciation enough for the efforts and labor of love done by our friends from Community Baptist Church in Pasig City, Philippines under the leadership of Pastor Greg Lyons in helping us both in the preparations and in the actual execution of the programs during the camp.
