Dear Camper,
The camp theme messages are significantly based on the book of Colossians as it possesses important criteria to guide us on our exploration of the theme ‘growing in the Son.” I will thus draw from major segments of the letter and complement them with Scripture from other parts of the Bible. I encourage you to read the book of Colossians ahead of the camp. Being familiar with the themes of the book will help to increase your learning at the camp.
The second proceeds to explore what it means to be ‘in the Son.’ What does Scripture teach us about being ‘in Christ’, and why is an understanding of this spiritual reality so crucial for our Christian growth and witness?
The third and fourth parts will explore what it means to be ‘Growing in the Son.” The third will focus mainly on a life that is saturated by Word and Prayer, while the fourth will discuss its implications for our daily living in our homes, our communities, and our world; keeping in mind that growing in the Son always bears a missional dimension in its expression.
Exploring the theme ‘Growing in the Son’ therefore holds great promise for transforming change for us all.
I look forward to seeing you at the camp, and invite you to join me in prayer as we ask the Lord to teach us.
Every blessing in Christ,
Jimmy Tan
