A Powerful Beginning: Opening Night Sets the Atmosphere 

 

From April 15 to 17, 2026, thousands of believers from across Greater Metro Manila gathered for Adult Camp 2026, a three-day spiritual event organized by Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch), held at the AATF Sports Complex. Anchored on the theme “Maturity in Christ: The Goal of Every Believer” (Colossians 1:28), the camp aimed to deepen the faith and commitment of every participant.

 

The event opened with a vibrant and spirit-filled Opening Night led by Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol. With heartfelt enthusiasm, he welcomed the attendees, setting a tone of unity, joy, and expectation. A dynamic opening production highlighted the legacy of faithful service across generations, followed by powerful praise and worship that filled the entire venue. 

 

In his message, Apostle Jonathan emphasized that true Christian maturity is rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. He encouraged believers to follow Christ’s example in every aspect of life, calling for a deeper understanding of faith and a stronger commitment to God’s purpose.

 

Day 1: Strength in Prayer and Devotion 

 

The first full day began with a solemn Morning Devotion led by Presbyter Dante Abainza. His message highlighted that true strength is found in surrender—reminding participants that even in moments of humility, such as kneeling in prayer, believers become spiritually strong by entrusting everything to God. 

 

This powerful start allowed campers to reflect, reset, and prepare their hearts for the sessions ahead, marking a meaningful beginning to their journey toward spiritual maturity.

 

Day 2: Worship, Seminars, and Ministry Empowerment 

 

Day 2 of Adult Camp 2026 was filled with impactful teachings and empowering sessions. During the Morning Worship, Bishop Aldrin Palanca delivered a compelling message on true maturity in Christ, emphasizing that believers grow not by resisting correction but by embracing it. 

 

A series of seminars followed, equipping both individuals and leaders: 

  • Presbyter Lily Ferriol shared wisdom on entrusting life decisions and family matters to God. 
  • Evangelist Leticia Ferriol emphasized effective discipleship, highlighting the importance of connection, biblical foundation, and leading by example. 
  • Bishop Reynald Sulayao addressed pastors, stressing that integrity must be a lifestyle, not just a message. 

 

One of the most anticipated highlights was the Ministries Fair Night, a vibrant celebration where various ministries showcased their calling and purpose. The event reflected unity within the Church, reminding everyone that they are one body moving in one mission. 

 

The day concluded with a powerful Evening Worship led by Archbishop Arturo T. Ferriol, who encouraged believers to strengthen their spiritual lives in order to faithfully live out the will of God.

 

Day 3: A Call to Fruitfulness and Deeper Commitment 

 

The final day, April 17, opened with a refreshing Morning Devotion led by Presbyter Mona Quillao, followed by worship services and seminars that further strengthened the faith of the participants. 

 

During the Morning Worship, Evangelist Leticia Ferriol delivered an inspiring message, reminding believers that fruitfulness is expected in the life of every mature Christian. She challenged everyone to step into a higher level of spiritual growth and faithful service. 

 

Seminars and electives throughout the day continued to equip both campers and leaders, providing practical insights for ministry and daily Christian living.

 

Dedication Night: A Defining Moment of Surrender 

 

The highlight of Adult Camp 2026 was the powerful Dedication Night, where thousands of participants gathered in a solemn moment of prayer and commitment. Kneeling together, they rededicated their lives to God—committing to grow in spiritual maturity and deepen their service. 

 

The service was led by Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, together with church leaders, emphasizing a renewed call to holiness, faithfulness, and unwavering dedication to God’s work. It was a night marked by surrender, revival, and spiritual awakening.

 

Closing Service: Sent Forth with Purpose

 

The Closing Service served as a powerful culmination of the three-day event. As the Word of God was delivered once more, hearts were stirred, faith was strengthened, and lives were transformed. 

 

Participants left the AATF Sports Complex with renewed passion and a clear mission—to live out their calling and reflect Christ in their daily lives. The impact of Adult Camp 2026 extended beyond the event, inspiring believers to continue their journey of faith with deeper commitment and purpose.

 

A Lasting Impact Beyond the Camp 

 

Adult Camp 2026 stands as a testament to the power of unity, worship, and apostolic teaching. More than just a gathering, it became a life-changing experience that equipped, empowered, and inspired thousands to pursue true maturity in Christ. 

 

As the camp concluded, one message remained clear: the call to spiritual growth continues. With strengthened faith and renewed dedication, every participant is now challenged to live a life that reflects Christ—faithfully, boldly, and purposefully.
