On May 13 the youth of Grace Christian Church boarded on a bus at 6AM and took the long drive to the Graceland Estates and Country Club in Tayabas, Quezon. Over four days the group consisting of high school and college students learned about how to be potent, instead of potentials.
The students learned that the maximized life looks from God's perspective, leads to true success, is when Christ is seen in our lives, comes with great responsibilities, brings blessings to others, and is a life of integrity. And over the course of their stay they learned about how they should search for friends who are wise and not fools, as Proverbs 27:17 states, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
But the summer camp was all about sitting in un-airconditioned halls. The students had the afternoons off to do whatever the estate had to offer, including boating/fishing, swimming, horse back riding, etc. On the second day, the group even overcame the rain and took a boat to cove with clean sands and a small cave to explore. And despite the rains, everyone arrived back at the camp site safely.
Two students accepted Jesus into their lives as their Lord and Savior. Over ninety committed to living a maximized life, and other even committed to serving God full time. At our last meeting, we were told to be flames for God, to have a burning passion for His cause and to be a light unto the world. On May 16, the students were ushered home with "FLAME ON!"
