EBI & Bulabog Youth inspired by Camp getting more involved
Sister Ofel wrote on May 3rd: I am very happy to tell you that the EBI and Bulabog youth and my children are very involved in the ministry here at EBI. They are now the teachers of the Operation Christmas Child follow-up Discipleship for children that previously received gift boxes. Now some of them are staying here at EBI and preparing for our DVBS for this coming May 8-11 (27 youth were involved in teaching VBS in Gimaloto and Pamurayan!). Also Bro. Kevin is teaching them playing music instruments like guitar and drums.

EBI Summer Camps
EBI partition y
outh participated in a couple summer camps this year. On May 3-5 was a Compassion Sorsogon Cluster Camp. On May 9-10 was a Youth Retreat and Survival Camp. On April 27 – May 1, some delegates from Emmaus Christian Fellowship and Bulabog Church joined the ABCCOP Youth Camp in Barcelona. Some of these camp experiences might have been a contributing factor to so many getting baptized on May 21, which included 33 from ECF, 4 from Bulabog, and 4 from Penafrancia, with most of these 41 being youth. Pastors and workers are already planning a big all-PAMI youth camp for the summer of 2019. Read More
