Isle of Patmos Baptist Camp Site Experience
Last December of 2010 I am one of the participants in the Independentl Baptist Missions for Asians (I.B.M.A.) National Camp Meeting 2010 held at Isle of Patmos Baptist Camping Site located in Barangay Culipat, Tarlac City, Philippines. The camp was started on December 27, 2010 to December 30, 2010.
Me and my church-mates participated in the event and we are representing our home church which is the Ambassador Baptist Church in Tanay, Rizal.
At first our Pastor, Pastor Felipe Flores knew that only Three Participants in our church was attending (I am not one of those).
I really do not have any plans attending the camp also together with my fellow church mates because we do not have enough money for it.
But after the evening service in our church (The night before the event) we sacrifice some money and decided to join the camp.
Actually my money that I sacrifice is for our new microwave oven at home.
And some of my church-mates lend money.
The three participants of our church was well prepared and they will ride a van together with our Pastor going to Tarlac City (Less hassle).
We are five that decided very late to come and participated in the camp.
We do not have a choice but to travel by commute just to go there.
We also decided not to tell our pastor and our three fellow church-mate that we will come because we really want them to surprise.
December 27, 2010 (First Day)
It was really a challenge for us to commute because we have big bags to carry with us but thank God give some comfortable sits for us in the Bus.
We try to sleep and get some rest in our way to Tarlac City.
We arrive in Mabalacat Bus Terminal for the Stopover. Usually bus have the stopover because some passengers need to get some food or use restrooms.
The time we arrive in Tarlac City we noticed this sign maybe it means “male” or “female” ??
We eat before we go to Isle of Patmos Baptist Camp Site at Siesta nothing special with the food, just to give us enough energy for the whole day.
After we eat we ride a tricycle and Honestly I find their tricycle very unconformable it was so small and unsafe but I have no choice.
We are now in Isle of Patmos Baptist Camp Site and I noticed the front entrance was so nice. At first I thought that there is a swimming pool but when we are near there it is just a fish pond.
We thank God because five of us arrived safely in Isle of Patmos Baptist Camp Site. It was really a long travel it took us four hours just to get there and This is my longest travel by Bus in my whole life.
We surprised our three church-mates that are already on their room and they are so happy that we come also.
We walk around the camp site, we fix our things and rest. The evening service was started around 6:00 p.m. after the messages and special numbers the first night was very special because the local baptist college in Tarlac, Tarlac Christian College performs their Kantata Titled: “Everlasting Light”.It was well-organized and very beautiful.
This is also the first time I saw Pastor Emanuel Quizon, He is the person behind the Isle of Patmos Baptist Camp.
I find Him a happy person and a person that is full of Ideas.
We also eat balut in the Camp site’s canteen before we sleep.
December 28, 2010 (Second Day)
We woke up early in the morning still wearing our pajamas at 6:00 a.m. in the morning for the Devotion and the speaker teaches us how to talk to God, the speaker give some tips on how to pray for at least one hour and it was very useful for our Christian life.
Morning Service Started 8:30 in the morning and we hear again special numbers and messages provided by the Pastor and Missionaries.
The preaching that day was very challenging for us and we learn something new and it was blessing.
This is the first time we meet our Pastor and He was surprised that we are there.
The night service was also the first time we saw and heard the preaching of Pastor Walker and Pastor Kelly Marshall from United States of America.
December 29, 2010 (Third Day)(Last Night)
We are energize again because of the morning devotion In the following Morning Service I will not forget The Pastor from Pasig which is Pastor Cunanan He delivers strong voice during his preaching again it was a challenging preaching from Pastor Cunanan most of his preaching are about the bad influence of the world for the Youth.
There is the Great Adobo Challenge in the camp but we do not participated because we are luck of resources and materials.
In the evening service Pastor Benny Abante arrived in the Camp Site and it was a great privilege to hear his preaching for the first time because I’ve heard good things about Pastor Benny Abante for a long time.
And it was good opportunity to have Picture with him together with my church-mates
After the preaching of Pastor Benny Abante the Everlasting light “Kantata” was performed again that night.
And the final night in the camp site ends the night service with the five minutes spectacular fireworks display.
December 30, 2010 (Last Day)
In the morning Service which will be the final service Pastor Quizon tell us the real life story of Pastor Roger Williams who dedicated his life to God.
The International Baptist Missions for Asians give honor to the special preachers from United States which are Pastor Walker and Pastor Marshall they are given the “Doctor of Divinity”.
Pastor Walker and Pastor Marshall Preaches again one more time.
I cannot believed that the camp was ended after Pastor Miles declare that “the camp is now dismissed”.
Truly the camp was over and we are now going outside the campsite facing the world again. Thank God we learn something new and it made me different after the camp my spiritual life was improve and it makes me happier and excited in serving God.
The camp was over and we need to get back to Tanay, Rizal.
We thank Pastor Israel Flores of Ambassador Baptist Church, Taytay, Rizal (The son of our Pastor) treat us to the nearest resort in Tarlac.
The food was so special!
Pastor Israel also tour us around Hacienda Luisita and in Clark Freeport in Pampanga.
Pastor Israel Brings us to the nearest Bus terminal which is the Mabalacat Bus Terminal and at first we are concerned about the current situation in the bus terminal because it was full of people because of New Year Rush.
Thank God there are few good people who guided us the to the Van that is now headed to manila.
The van just bring a VIP from Clark and it now headed back to manila. The driver decided to bring us on-board so He can earn some little.
And it was a bonus because the van we are in is a Ford E150 which is a VIP type of Van the travel was very convenient and fast.
We said Good Bye to Pastor Israel and thank Him for the his Guidance together with his wife.
In our way to manila Our fellow church mate Sis. Janet Soul-win the driver, and the Driver accepts God to his heart as his savior.
The driver brings us directly to the Edsa Central which is the terminal for the jeeps headed to Tanay. Yup after we experience indulgence we are now back to real life hehehe.
We thank also Pastor Felipe Flores and Mrs. Flores for the great dinner that night after our journey to Tarlac.
We are nine souls during the camp One camper with us is Sister Joyza of Quisao Fundamental Christian Baptist Church.
We thank God for the great opportunity that he give to us and the unforgettable experience that we will bring until we our final life.
I cannot wait for the next camp year, see you there!

Banda Kabataan 77 Bailen Rocks!
Nakapunta kami sa Tanay Park around 3pm. That time talagang siksikan na at wala ng magandang pwesto, wala kaming choice kung hindi makipag siksikan din, wala naman kasi kaming kakilala na official doon that can give some good views for us 
Anyway tuloy parin ako sa pagkuha ng pictures at video for my website nakapwesto kami sa kanang bahagi ng stage malapit dun sa mga nakabilad na Hurado. Para kaming nasa MRT dahil sobrang init at may umu utot pa, nasira ata tyan nun sa fiestahan, kung sino man iyon mag yakult ka!
Lalong dumami ang mga tao ng tawagin na ang banda kabataan from Cavite biglang lalong dami ng Tao at biglang nasisigawan ang lahat ng tao marami ang nabuhayan ng magsimula silang mag perform. Maganda nag performance nila buhay na buhay lalo na ng tugtugin nila ang Poker Face pati iyong manong na lider nila sa banda (iyong mukang strikto) sumasayaw din.
Ang Pasaway na Manong sa Harap namin
At ang nakakainis lang is ng meron matandang lalaki na super yabang sa may harap namin, ang ganda na nga na pwesto niya nakukuha pa niyang tumayo, marami siyang na perwisyo pag siya ay nakatayo at ng pinapakiusapang umupo sumasagot at siya pa ang galit sa mga nakakarami na, nape-perwisyo niya.
At ito ang pinaka matindi ng magsimula ng mag perform ang majorette nila mas marami ang natuwa dahil sa ipinamalas na galing lalo na ang paggamit ng may apoy na baton at hula-hoop na may apoy walang ibang banda ang nakagawa noon kung hindi sila lang, kaya naman sila ang over-all champion sa bandrill na ginanap sa Tanay Park masaya rin ako dahil sila ang representative ng barangay namin, January 24,2010, Happy Fiesta sa mga taga Tanay, Rizal!
Sorry for the lowquality of video files, we have only limited file size. and poor video location, no VIP sEATS FOR us eh
