Mountain View College, Philippines \u2013 In a moving vesper worship service during the SSD-Wide Camporee, Elder Roger Caderma, President of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division (SSD), delivered a compelling message titled Rebuild the Altar<\/em>, challenging campers to embrace spiritual renewal through the REACT<\/em> principle. The evening service, held under the theme of rebuilding and restoration, left a profound impact on the hundreds of young Adventists gathered at Mountain View College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder Caderma\u2019s sermon revolved around the REACT<\/em> principle, a five-step framework for spiritual growth and action. He urged campers to first reflect<\/em> on their spiritual journey and relationship with God, encouraging them to examine their lives and identify areas needing renewal. Next, he challenged them to explore<\/em> deeper truths and opportunities for growth in their faith, emphasizing the importance of studying God\u2019s Word and seeking His will. The third step, assist<\/em>, focused on fostering a spirit of community by helping others in their walk with Christ. Elder Caderma then called on the campers to construct<\/em> a stronger foundation of faith by rebuilding personal altars of devotion, symbolizing a renewed commitment to God. Finally, he emphasized the need to take action<\/em> by making tangible commitments to live out their faith in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing inspiration from the life of the prophet Elisha, Elder Caderma emphasized three key principles for spiritual transformation: discipleship, mentorship, and transition to a new life. He encouraged campers to seek guidance from mentors, embrace their calling, and step boldly into a life fully dedicated to God. The sermon also highlighted four significant biblical locations that symbolize stages of spiritual growth: Gilgal, representing the cutting away of sin and old habits; Bethel, the house of God where one encounters His presence; Jericho, a place of overcoming challenges and obstacles; and Jordan River, symbolizing the crossing into a new life of faith and commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder Caderma concluded his message with a heartfelt call for baptism, inviting campers to make a public commitment to Christ. The response was overwhelming, as many young people stepped forward to answer the call. Dr. Bienvenido Mergal, SSD Education Director, offered a special prayer for those who committed to be baptized the following day, asking for God\u2019s guidance and strength as they prepared to take this significant step in their spiritual journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vesper worship service left a lasting impression on the campers, inspiring them to rebuild their spiritual altars and deepen their relationship with God. The event at Mountain View College continues to be a transformative experience for young Adventists across the Southern Asia-Pacific Division, as they gather to worship, learn, and grow together in their faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
