Youth Camp Ignites ‘Maturity in Christ’: Historic 1st PH AMP Graduates, Ministry Fair, Missionary Initiatives Thrill Thousands

IMUS, CAVITE – Thousands of young watchers of the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) gathered at the AATF Sports Complex in Malagasang Locale, Imus, Cavite, for the annual Youth Camp themed “Maturity in Christ: The Goal of Every Believer.” Held April 12-14, 2026, the event united Greater Manila Districts in worship, seminars, morning devotions, and evening services that deepened their faith and service commitment.

Under the guidance of Chief Executive Minister Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, the camp immersed youth in church ministries, spotlighted revived programs from the International Young Watchers Department (IYWD), and issued a powerful call to join the two-year Apostolic Missionary Program (AMP) and Maranatha Bible School International (MBSI).

Bishop Osinando Quillao reaffirmed that once a young watcher and a believer became spiritually mature, the church is now ready for Christ’s second coming.

“If we will be mature or perfect in our spiritual stature no one will despise us, we will be effective instrument of God for His mission and we will [be] presented worthy in Christ’s 2nd coming in the rapture,” Bishop Osinando Quillao said during Day 2 Morning Worship.

Historic AMP Milestone Unveiled

It is through the AMP Internship that the service unto God of most of the young watchers increased; most of them even entered the MBSI as a response to their greater calling.

This camp marks a historic event for the program and the whole church. With a total of 73, the first-ever graduates of the AMP Philippines – Watchmen Evangelizers of the Apostolic Legacy – commenced their graduation during the last day. 

Batch President and Leadership Awardee Sister Berylle Shane Domeyec voiced profound thanks to MBSI Chancellor Apostle Jonathan.

“We would like to take this moment to sincerely express our deepest gratitude and we are truly blessed to experience not only the struggles of the ministry but especially the beauty of it and Apostle, we are truly grateful that you gave us this avenue for us grow in apostolic faith and partake in the mission across the Philippines. And as we move forward we will truly take the lessons and the passion that this dedication has instilled on us.”

Apostle Jonathan, in like manner, assures the young watchers of a safe and good experience upon entering the internship and the Bible school as he delivers his message entitled “Christ’s Ambassadors.”

“Hindi ka pagkukulangin ng Panginoon, Dios pa kaya. God will always provide the greatest care for his ambassadors, huwag niyong katakutan yan. Tayo ay nasa pamahalaan ng Dios hindi niya tayo pababayaan especially now as your head, I will not abandon you, I will take care of you. God will take care of you,” he said.

Missionary Initiatives for the Greater Call

Even before the church was established, young watchers had been a great asset in preaching the gospel, making God known throughout places around the world, and being involved in the ministries in the church.

The IYWD, headed by its Department Adviser Ptr. Abigail Ferriol-Pascual, recently launched three programs: specifically, the Wavemakers or the Discipleship Committees of the young watchers, making them teachers of the foundations of the church; the Cadets, wherein youth will now lead and guide the cadets in serving God as they move towards their maturity in faith.

“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 because we believe, a single disciplined life can create a ripple that changes many,” Ptr. Aby Pascual said during the Pitch Deck session, Day 1 Ministry Fair night.

Rounding out the lineup, Radically Saved Summer. This will bring young watchers to a month-long summer ministry. Through this program, the groups which will be sent to places within Visayas and Mindanao will share the gospel through personal evangelism, exhibit discipleship, and help to establish the locale churches.

Call for Ministry Involvement

One of the major highlights of this year’s Youth Camp is the Ministry Fair and booths prepared by the church’s departments and ministries that will lead and guide the young watchers in excellent service unto the Lord.

Every booth showed great efforts that built enthusiasm and excitement for the young watchers to roam around the inside and outside lobbies. This serves as a testament to God’s abounding grace to His church.
