What a privilege it was recently to join our NTMPI co-workers at the New Tribes School of Missions (NTSM) for their Summer Youth Missions Camp. Along with just one other NCLA student, we travelled to the NTSM training center in Bataan about 3 hours NW of Manila where we joined our Filipino ka misyenero (co-missionaries) as counsellors for the four day camp. With anticipation that we would somehow be a blessing and an encouragement to sa mga kabataan (Filipino Youth), it was quickly made evident that we would be equally blessed and encouraged by the passion and ferver they bring to Christendom.
Despite a late summer typhoon that brought more than two straight days of hard rain, our spirits were not dampened as we joined together to consider what the Lord has for each of us in regards to building His kingdom. The theme of this years camp in just it’s third year of existence was “ETHNOS: Isang Hamon sa Kabataan” (a challenge to the youth). As it were though, this was just as much of a challenge for those of us already in missions to consider where and how the Lord would continue to use us.
