Assembly Youth Camp 2027

14–17 Jan 2027 Jacob Gardens, Kil-Padappai, Chennai

Theme

Awake! Prepare To Meet Thy God!

விழித்திடு! உன் தேவனை சந்திக்க ஆயத்தப்படு!

Romans 13:11 & 14:12: "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed." "So then each of us shall give account of himself to God."
ரோமர் 13:11 & ரோமர் 14: 12: "நித்திரையைவிட்டு எழுந்திருக்கத்தக்க வேளையாயிற்றென்று, நாம் காலத்தை அறிந்தவர்களாய், இப்படி நடக்கவேண்டும்; நாம் விசுவாசிகளானபோது இரட்சிப்பு சமீபமாயிருந்ததைப் பார்க்கிலும் இப்பொழுது அது நமக்கு அதிக சமீபமாயிருக்கிறது." "ஆதலால் நம்மில் ஒவ்வொருவனும் தன்னைக்குறித்து தேவனுக்குக் கணக்கொப்புவிப்பான்."

Camp objectives

  1. 1To help youths understand that they need to set a godly example, as their lives influence others.
  2. 2To encourage, motivate and equip young hearts and minds with God's Word, and help them achieve improved spiritual maturity in their personal lives.
  3. 3To counsel youngsters and guide them in the problematic or struggling areas of their practical life, and to direct them to the Lord — so that they might use their life, inherent talents and abilities ultimately for Him and His church.
  4. 4To offer youngsters an opportunity to grow and be moulded into spiritually mature role models at home, in church and in society.
  5. 5To present the gospel to the unsaved, to guide them to become children of God, and to lead them into the care of the leaders of their assemblies.
