Graduating students of Maranatha Christian College, Bacolod City interacted with SMO Bacolod Staff and Bible Training Institute students on love, sex, and abstinence. Maranatha has been regularly inviting SMO to conduct these kind of talk to their fourth year students as a way of confronting prevaling liberal standards of today’s youth. “True Love Waits”, locally published by Church Strengthening Ministries (CSM) is the main material that is being used.
Forty first-time campers participated in Camp Forever 14 at Hacienda Kaftrees, Murcia last December 26-30, 2008. We thank our speakers who delivered powerful messages and our sponsors for their generosity and heart of sending a young person to the camp. Our gratitude also goes to our hard-working student leaders. God be praised!
