Scouting for A Camp Site

On July 19, the high school ministry team visited a Christian camp site for next year's summer camp. The camp is located in Batangas, a province south of Manila. It sits on a terraced hill that stretches down to a flowing river. The students can look forward to new experiences, such as sleeping in tents on the terraced slope and a trek through the river. The high school team will return early next year for a trial run.

Before we left the camp, we read Scriptures and prayed over our new National Youth Coordinator, Jerry Francisco. Jerry is a product of REACH's high school ministry, worked for a number of years as a technical assistant in the REACH office, and served in the REACH high school ministry. He will be encouraging local REACH ministries to establish their own high school ministries and coordinate national activities for the youth in REACH.

We ended our time before going back to Manila eating Vietnamese food at Bawai Restaurant in nearby Tagaytay City. We had an enjoyable time of fellowship and trying out new food. 

The school year is now underway, and the high school team will be gearing up to reach out to new students while following up students from the previous two years. Please pray for wisdom from the Holy Spirit to guide the team in the coming weeks and months.
