RSBYF
Camp Held
The 4th
Regional Southern Baptist Youth Fellowship (RSBYF) was
recently held last May 27-31, 2001 at Amas Pavilion, Amas,
Kidapawan City with the theme: "Youth, Stand Firm and
Let Your Light Shine Before Men...", with Ra Paul
Abraham as the Speaker. Various Lectures on different age
level were undertaken from day 2 onwards. Topics includes
Listening to God, Trusting God Even When Life Hurts, and
Soaring High. Campers experienced a fellowship where
contests were undergone in groups or family, so there were
equal distribution of delegates regardless of age group and
educational level. There were 10 families names after
characters in the New Testament.
The first
night was a Church presentation. Various talents were
presented individually and in group. The succeeding nights
were contests/talents presentations.
Campers got
that "Camp Behalf". We are proud be have named
that. We mean, special partner in the camp. During
"love notes, love thoughts", everybody wears a
smile and laughter as the desk jockey reads
encouragement messages, palipad hangin, and quotable
quotes to inspire a Behalf.
The last
night was a concert by Pastor Rolando Nuevo. Sponsors from
within Cotabato Province arrived to watch the concert.
Because that was held in the Provincial Gymnasium, and
outsiders were inevitable, the Staff and Volunteers were too
busy to offer guarding at several gates.
After the
concert, was an overnight vigil. Campers go with friends and
camp behalf for conversation, get together and group dates.
Several tokens were joyfully made by intuitive campers as
souvenir item for friends and staff who come to help for the
success of the camp. Because there were lots of pints of
paints left during the stage decoration, campers used it to
decorate on stones, woodblocks and barks as souvenir.
All glory
belongs to God.

NECBYF Celebration 2000 Held
The
North Eastern Christian Baptist Youth Fellowship (NECBYF)
has just celebrated its 20th year of Christian
service. It was a week long series of activities held at
Southern Baptist College Gymnasium, M’lang Cotabato last
December 25-30, millennium year, with the theme “Looking
Back... Moving Forward in God’s Glory!”. Rev.
Saturnino Paul Abraham was the speaker.
Thefellowship actually takes every December of the year. The
celebration was primarily participated in by youths of
Southern Baptist Churches within North Cotabato. Every
activity was an exciting mixture of varied events and
happenings. Aside from blessed worship services, lectures
were undertaken on varied topics. Among the expositors
were Pastor Rolly Delgado and Ms Elinore Bergante who
lectured on How to Have Quite Time; Bro. Mars
Llorito talked about Rock Music, and
accompanied Pastor Rolly Arenga on the Photographic
T-shirt Printing; and Mr. Ronald Agpalza on the Card
and Give-away Making.
Of
course, there were also chances for getting together.
Parlor games, ball games, treasure hunting and some funny
games were introduced, so campers get acquainted with each
other better in terms of camaraderie and teamwork. The
first morning of the day, December 26, 2000, was a town
parade around the municipality of M’lang, To the
campers, that was a first experience of bringing their
banners and flags for the townfolks to know. A flag
raising contest was then started to officially open the
camp; then follows the athletic competitions, literary and
musical competition, and workshop training.
New
set of NECBYF officers were inducted into office. Roberto
Bangoy, President; Temmy Claud, Vice-President; Welmie
Gebero, Secretary; Mary Jane Ebrona, Deputy Secretary;
Shayne Chris Gigary, Treasurer; Emilie Ignacio, Auditor;
Mazel Rama and Janelyn Arguelles, Business Managers;
Doenato Flonasca and Jovy Mission, Public Information
Officers; Zone Presidents as representatives; Pastor Rolly
Delgado, Pastor Joffry Asis and Pastor Dizon Linda,
Advisers.
The
last night was a heart- beating event of “Trust Fall”.
Every delegate were let to fall at their back from a
certain height without bending their legs. Its like taking
a plunge; and the bottom catch were hands crossing each
other. In here, Campers develop trust in their peers. And
so, the year’s special highlight was the NECBYF Fiesta
2000, an exciting event to note as this was the first time
happened in the history of the camp. A dinner was set at
the open field with the preparation manned by each church
delegation. After the judging of foods set for dinner,
campers roamed and traverse the long table for foods set
by different churches. It was a long walk so that when you
start picking food from the first table, you arrive at the
last one heavily full.
Thanks to the initiative of the officers and their
active advisers. We also thank the NECA association for
the support, and for the prayers of everybody in making
the fellowship successful. We bring back the honor and
glory to our Almighty God(WG/RBJr/MEL).
