Summer Camp 2010 with St. George +

Izak and I went to camp with my brother's youth group and other youth groups from Arizona. I was mostly apart of helping out in whatever ways I could, like cleaning up to helping lead worship and also being leader/counselor.

The main focus or theme of the camp was entitled Organic: Rooted and Grounded in Love. The camp verse was Ephesians 3:17. The difference that I saw in this camp, that made it the best summer camp that I have ever been to, was that there was a realness to it. because often times as i have seen it become and I'm sure a few can vouch for the same that camp can be come a bit of a show. The name of the camp was appropriate in that we should as believers understand that the church is not something mechanic it is very much organic. Along with the fact that as Christians there is the elements of simplicity, sincerity, rawness, and realness that we should have. The worship and the devos were great and the teachings were awesome and refreshing. The Lord was doing a real work in the kids' lives because of the real Christ centered fellowship most of them got to see. There is so much more to say but all there is left to do is give glory to the Lord for changing and transforming lives and giving us such a beautiful hope in Christ Jesus.

CCBC Graduation: Murrieta Version

It has been about a month since the actual event but it is worth blogging. Faith and I graduated from the Bible college with our Associates in Theology along with my siblings, Ivan and Iza, who received their B.A. and walked with us. In the list of students two filipino familys (the Abads and Amargos) all walked to begin with and sitting right next to us was Sosimo. It was a good ceremony. s.God has been good to keep us walking with Him seeing that He is truly faithful in every generation with saving my parents, with bringing us up in the Word and giving us the desire to know more about Him through His Word that we might be thoroughly equipped for every good work. photo credit: 1st pic my self, 2nd & 3rd Ray Abad

Departure and Arrival

The trip back home was an interesting adventure in itself. I got

dropped off by John Bonner at the airport along with another student. Samuel, who headed home for the break in between semesters. Maggie as well dropped by to say good bye she had been a great sister during my stay in Peru. All I can say is how faithful the Lord has been to assure me that He has a plan set out for my life and that as long as I am yielded to Him He will take care of me and direct me. I was so grateful to be used of God and had the opportunities to share the love of God with some of the lost.

<[pic with the dude with glasses] This is Marco he is Italian I got to share the gospel with him during my wait for my connecting flight in Houston, it was a testimony of the Lord because I was able to talk to Him about the gospel in Spanish. He was very interested though he shared that he was a materialist and believed that he wouldn't go to heaven. I suggested that he read his Bible that he had back in Italy (he was going back home from Honduras). Pray that he seeks and finds the Lord.

^ [pic on the plane] (man right of me) Jehovah's Witness Joel. i talked with him and

basically talked about the deity of Christ. they don't believe in the trinity at all so we disagreed; (guy left of me): filipino Christian Aaron: did't really know that me and Joel were arguing or what we were discussing exactly because he said that he agreed with what Joel was saying ( he didn't realize Joel was JW until the end of the flight) .

^ [the last pic, off the plane] both of these men sat behind me during the flight, they are creation evangelists: Man in the suit: Kevan who sat directly behind me apparently was listening to my conversation with Joel because at the end of the flight he gave me a booklet entitled, Be Prepared how to win your Jehovah's Witness etc friends to Jesus, he said, "I was trying to find the most inconspicuous way to hand it to you" he gave me his card for his ministry and wrote a bit of encouragement on the back of it to the affect of encouraging me to continue to stand fo rhte name of Jesus; Man in the white shirt: Eric Hovind, Kent Hovind's son check out the website http://www.drdino.com/ , he had come out to California to teach at various SoCal churches his new series entitled Beginnings of which he gave me a free dvd of the series, after learning that I had just graduated from Bible college, he said it was a Graduation present.

God is good to have allowed me to have such an adventure by no means could i have seen what i had seen without putting my trust in the Lord. He really does reward those who put their trust in Him. I just was witness to all the things the Lord orchestrated from me missing my connecting flight to sitting down in the right spot in starbucks to perchance talk to a Spanish speaking person about the gospel after being in a Spanish speaking country studying the Bible for a few months. Talk about God's sovereign hand
