Zephaniah Youth Retreat 2025
Theme: “Ignite and Let It Shine”
📍 Sitio Alang-Alang, Lucsoon, Naval, Biliran
📅 June 6–7, 2025
In preparation for the upcoming P1 Camp 2025, the Lucsoon Zephaniah Youth gathered for a meaningful 2-day spiritual retreat with the theme: “Ignite and Let It Shine.” The goal was to revive our spiritual fire, build deeper friendships, and prepare our hearts and minds to serve Christ faithfully.
The program started with an introduction with a twist, fun, and interactive to break the ice and welcome everyone. This was followed by a heartfelt devotional, which challenged us to reflect on our personal relationship with God.
The afternoon continued with fun and engaging Bible-related games and relays including Bible role-playing, message relay, Bible verse hunting, and creative storytelling. Each activity was designed not only to entertain but to help the youth explore God's Word in dynamic ways.
After dinner, we gathered around the bonfire for our evening devotional. One of the most powerful moments was when each youth wrote down their personal commitments, prayer requests, and burdens on pieces of paper. We then surrendered them to God by burning the papers in the fire, symbolizing our desire to be renewed and set ablaze for Christ.
Our second day started early with marching and drilling exercises, led by Ms. Melisa Abad as part of our preparation for P1 Camp. This was not only for discipline and coordination but also to instill a deeper sense of unity, teamwork, and spiritual readiness among the youth.
We thank the Lord for the success and safety of our Youth Retreat. Our hearts are full, inspired, challenged, and ignited to shine for Christ in our homes, church, and community.
A big thank you to all the sponsors, prayers, volunteers, and church leaders who supported this retreat in every way. This wouldn’t have been possible without you!
Let’s continue to let our light shine!
