TESTIMONY from Boot Camp 2011

Jerome Gaditano Testimony

 

The Lord has spoken to me on the camp. I've been running away from the calling of the Lord all this time, and I was doing all things by my way. And all was so heavy and they were just not right, everything was falling out of place. But one night, there at youth camp, the Lord came upon me, it was so clear, He said to me, Come to me Jerome, give everything you have to me, all my sins even the most secret sins that I did, I gave it all to Jesus that night, all my plans, my dreams, my heart, my pride, everything that is within me, I gave it all to Jesus. And Jesus took everything I have that moment, everything that bounded me and chained me down, it seemed that all my burden inside my heart has been gone, Jesus took it away, and for that I now feel the peace inside me, the feeling of just trusting Him in everything, and everything is going to be alright. The Lord reminded me of how to serve Him with all my heart, how to worship Him with all I am. I thank Jesus for His mercy, grace to me. and that ever big big love that He have for me, for He truly loves me, because He didnt let me go down, he rescued me, and for that reason, I will live for Him. All glory to Jesus. THank you and Godbless Project Acts Team!

 

 

Jam Collado Testimony

Ow my hahahah first of all I don’t know what to say! I’m shocked that ate joy pm me and she said 

“jam do u have a testimony from boot camp? make one then send to me.. we want to hear ur testimony”

I hesitated to reply on that message because I don’t know what I’m supposed to say but God wants me to share my life with other people. Hmmm so  as far as I know I joined this camp  a few years and the venue,  is in Los Banos that’s where I start matured in word of GOD but on that years had been passed by there’s still a hindrance in my life.I want to be on fire with Gods presence but there’s this one person or let’s say special someone that I need to give up and God said that I must surrender that person! but I didn’t listened to God I still go with the flow and as I go with that flow I felt so miserable and I don’t have peace of mind. so as I went to this year’s camp, I realized that God surrender His only begotten son for us to be saved and me I only need to surrender that special person but I can’t do it. I’m still doubted if I will surrender that special person then I felt I can live without that person but I can’t live without GOD. And there’s a question that pop up on my mind “In doing this things, DO YOU THINK YOU’RE PLEASING GOD?” then Pastor David preached about “THIS IS THE REAL THING” I cried to God and repent to Him.

God’s really amazing because everyday Satan always tempting me to go back with that special person but God always talking to me through worshipping and God said that I should be an OVERCOMER! God wants me to be saved before He comes because He promised me that HE WILL NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME!

 

 

Paul Ramos Testimony

Being a part of the Project Acts Camp (Forerunner) 2011 was really a great blessing. Even before we went to the camp, there have been hindrances: firstly, the expenses (fare and fee); secondly, the young people’s conflict with their schedules (graduation, clearance completion, etc.); lastly, the lack of preparation. It was only the afternoon of Sunday when my teammates decided to go at it because of different reasons, but God is indeed faithful. He made a way for us to experience HIM through this camp.

I praise God for using me as an encourager. It is both a privilege and a blessing. I thank God for His strength, and though I have weaknesses, He still used me for His glory. Such a lovely picture the young people painted as they pursued the “REAL THING.” As they raise their hands, jump, cry, and sing, I’ve seen how the Lord moved in them. I’ve learned a lot from the pastors I’ve been with, even through our devotions time with them. I know God is preparing me for bigger and exciting challenges in my life.  know God changing me into a person he wants me to be.

There are three things that God has shown me (there’s more).

1. We are one in the Lord. Different churches, denominations, lifestyles, and perspectives, God united us for one purpose – to worship Him. 

2. Jesus loves us so much. I believe that the only reason why we exist is because of LOVE. “Faith, hope, and love will remain; but the greatest of these is LOVE.” The story of the Samaritan woman is really heartwarming. This woman, though sinful, hasn’t been rejected by Jesus. Instead, He showed her that she needed a SAVIOR and a REAL LOVER-JESUS. Whatever you are experiencing right now, remember that HE loves you. It is not because of who you are (your past, sins and failures), but because of WHO HE IS.


3. He can and will use us. I’ll forever have this child, Tintin, in mind. She’s the girl with no eyes who sang during our crusade. There are many young people who are complete in body, but are using their bodies for vices and for their own luxuries. This is a reminder for me that my body is solely for His glory and for His use. It’s a decision that we need to make. God can use you, us. He doesn’t look at what we lack of, but He looks for a heart that is willing to follow Him and to be under His Lordship. He can use us in our community, family, school, and respective churches. “Let your light shine before men, so that they will glorify your father in heaven…”

“Don’t let the fire die.”
God bless us all.
To GOD be All the glory!
