Youth Camp 2026 Inspires Thousands to Pursue Maturity in Christ

Youth Camp 2026 gathered thousands of young watchers of the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) at the AATF Sports Complex in Malagasang Locale, Imus, Cavite, from April 12-14, 2026, for the annual spiritual gathering themed “Maturity in Christ: The Goal of Every Believer.”

Representing the Greater Manila Districts, the youth participated in three days of worship services, seminars, morning devotions, ministry activities, and evening gatherings designed to deepen their faith and strengthen their commitment to serving God.

Under the guidance of Chief Executive Minister Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, the camp highlighted renewed ministry involvement and spiritual growth among young believers. Special emphasis was given to revived initiatives from the International Young Watchers Department (IYWD), along with a strong call for participants to join the two-year Apostolic Missionary Program (AMP) and Maranatha Bible School International (MBSI).

Youth Camp 2026 Calls Young Believers to Spiritual Maturity

One of the camp’s key messages centered on spiritual maturity as essential preparation for Christ’s return.

During the Day 2 Morning Worship, Bishop Osinando Quillao emphasized that spiritual growth makes believers effective instruments in God’s mission.

“If we will be mature or perfect in our spiritual stature, no one will despise us. We will be effective instrument[s] of God for His mission and we will be presented worthy in Christ’s second coming in the rapture,” Bishop Quillao said.

The message reinforced the camp’s central theme that every believer must pursue maturity in Christ as part of their spiritual calling.

Youth Camp 2026 Marks Historic AMP Graduation

A historic highlight of Youth Camp 2026 was the graduation of the first-ever 73 graduates of AMP Philippines – Watchmen Evangelizers of the Apostolic Legacy during the final day of the camp.

The Apostolic Missionary Program internship has become a powerful avenue for young watchers to deepen their ministry involvement, with many graduates continuing their calling through enrollment at Maranatha Bible School International (MBSI).

Batch President and Leadership Awardee Sister Berylle Shane Domeyeg expressed heartfelt gratitude during the graduation rites.

“We are truly blessed to experience not only the struggles of the ministry but especially the beauty of it… we will truly take the lessons and the passion that this dedication has instilled on us.”

In his message entitled “Christ’s Ambassadors,” Apostle Jonathan assured young believers that God would sustain those who answer His calling.

“God will always provide the greatest care for His ambassadors… God will take care of you,” he said.

The International Young Watchers Department (IYWD), under the leadership of Department Adviser Ptr. Abigail Ferriol-Pascual, introduced several programs aimed at strengthening discipleship and ministry participation among young watchers.

Among these initiatives was Wavemakers, a discipleship movement designed to train youth to teach the foundations of the faith and influence their generation for Christ.

“Wavemakers is not just a program, it is a discipleship movement designed to raise a generation that will stand firm in their faith, live out their calling, and influence their generation for Christ,” Ptr. Abigail Ferriol-Pascual said during the Day 1 Ministry Fair Pitch Deck session.

Another featured initiative was Cadets, where youth leaders are given opportunities to mentor younger members and guide them toward spiritual maturity.

Completing the lineup was Radically Saved Summer, a month-long ministry outreach that will deploy young watchers to various areas in Visayas and Mindanao for evangelism, discipleship, and church-establishing efforts.
