Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – Youth Camp “ALIVE” 2025 of Covenant Youth has closed with joy and gratitude. For the young people who attended, it was not just a few days away from home, but a camp that God wonderfully ruled over, so that each person could be renewed and find new life in Him.

The Vietnamese theme “SINH” carries three layers of meaning for the young people: being lively in the Lord, the value of every living soul God gives, and spiritual revival.
1. Lively: A Vitality Only God Can Give
Many young people came to camp tired. Studies, work, the pressure of making a living and daily routines can easily leave young people weary, unmotivated and sometimes distant from God. Through the camp, they were reminded that true life, freshness and energy do not come from what the world promises, but from Jesus Himself:
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.” (John 10:10)
The world is full of trials, temptations, wrongs and sin. But the young people came to see that when God walks with them, nothing is impossible. Jesus is the perfect example for young people to learn from, follow and live their whole lives by in this world.
2. Living Soul: Valuing the Life God Gives
An important part of the camp was helping young people see the immeasurable value of every life. Every person is created, loved, cherished and provided for by God. So young people were taught to care for one another and to value others’ lives as well as their own.
This is a very practical lesson for young people today, as many carry pressure, loneliness or a feeling that they are worthless. Knowing that God loves them and that their lives are precious in His sight is the foundation for living with purpose.
3. Revival: Renewed in Community
The camp was also a place for young people to connect and gather in love. Times of worship, Bible study, group sharing and play helped many experience powerful spiritual revival. New acquaintances became close friends, and hearts that had grown cold were rekindled with love for God.
Young people were not made to walk alone. A healthy youth community in the church is a place where they are supported, counseled and encouraged to keep following God.
Thanks From Covenant Youth
Covenant Youth thanks God for a blessed camp. They also sincerely thank the pastors, deacons and all the grandparents, brothers and sisters of VECC who quietly prayed, contributed and walked alongside them so the camp could be complete and fruitful. Thank you to all the teens and young adults who attended and made beautiful memories together.
Let Us Pray for Young People
Please keep remembering Covenant Youth in prayer:
- That God will open the way for young people in their studies, work and important life decisions.
- That God will help them keep the fire of camp alive in daily life, living vibrant and fruitful lives in Him.
- That God will raise up young people willing to serve and witness for Him among their peers.
