Summer Camp 2025: "Ignite the Flame: A Heart on Fire for God"
On April 17 to 20, 2025, the vibrant campus of Bangao National High School became the heart of spiritual revival and personal growth as Ms. Benguet 2024, Miss Lovely Balanoy Bomowey, spearheaded the highly anticipated Summer Camp 2025 with the theme: “Ignite the Flame: A Heart on Fire for God.”
The four-day event gathered over 80 enthusiastic participants, including both campers and dedicated volunteers, all coming together to experience a journey of faith, fellowship, and fun.
As the driving force behind the camp, Miss Lovely took on multiple roles with grace and passion serving as facilitator, photographer, instrumentalist, logistics coordinator, and key speaker. Her leadership was instrumental in turning the camp into a memorable and meaningful experience. Her heart for service and ministry was evident in every aspect of the event, from the smallest details to the deepest moments of reflection.
Throughout the camp, participants engaged in a wide range of activities designed to foster both mental and spiritual growth. Each day was filled with inspiring plenary sessions, interactive workshops, group devotions, and team-building games, all centered on deepening their relationship with God and one another.
A powerful highlight of the camp was the testimony-sharing sessions, where participants opened their hearts to share their personal journeys stories of trials, triumphs, and transformation building a community rooted in empathy and faith.
The Summer Camp 2025 wasn’t just an event it was a movement. It ignited a flame in the hearts of everyone present, encouraging them to carry that light into their homes, schools, and communities.
“In the weeks before camp, I turned down other commitments choosing instead to follow the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit.
A day before the event, while helping prepare the venue, I found myself cleaning toilets. It was humbling, but in that moment I prayed, “Lord, I am Yours even in the smallest tasks.”
Though the turnout was smaller than expected, I saw genuine transformation in my small group. God reminded me that it is not about numbers it’s about hearts.
We wore many hats, but every role became an act of worship. The bonfire night was unforgettable. As testimonies were shared, mine included, God’s presence was undeniable.
This camp reignited something in me. It was not just an event rather a divine encounter.”
