Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – We thank God for blessing the Covenant Youth Group as it held the youth summer camp 2026 with the theme “MARKED” from July 2 to 4, 2026. Thanks to the church’s prayers, giving and support, the camp took place in peace, joy and abundant blessing. Every program, every activity and every moment of fellowship became a precious mark in the campers’ hearts.

Theme Verse
“See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.” (Isaiah 49:16)
Through this verse, the camp helped every teenager recognize that they bear the mark of God’s love. At an age when they are searching for the answer to “Who am I?”, knowing they are inscribed on the palms of God’s hands is a firm foundation for their whole life.
Four Lessons on Being “Marked”
The camp was built around four lessons to help the teens reflect on their lives:
- Marked by love: each of them is loved by God unconditionally, not because of achievements or appearance.
- Marked as belonging: they belong to God and to the church family; no one has to walk alone.
- Marked by power: God gives power to live in a way that pleases Him amid the pressures of school, friends and social media.
- Marked by a calling: each person has a unique calling from God, and youth is a beautiful time to start responding.
God Provided Everything Needed
Cool weather with light rain made for good Bible study, fellowship and play times. Tasty meals and a happy, warm atmosphere helped bond the campers throughout the camp.
With 6 leaders walking alongside them, four camp groups took part in games, activities, discussions and quiet times together. Each group became a small family where the teens learned to listen, share and pray for one another.
Hearts Touched by God
Through each lesson and the sharing of God’s Word, many hearts were moved by the Lord. Some boldly decided to follow Jesus, many made new commitments to Him, and others were comforted, encouraged and strengthened in their faith. The church believes God is continuing to work in each teenager’s life, so that His mark will be shown ever more clearly in their lives, words and actions.
Thank You
The Covenant Youth Group sincerely thanks the whole church and all members who wholeheartedly prayed and gave for the camp. Thank you to the organizing committee, the leaders, the volunteers and all the campers who worked together to make the camp a success.
Let Us Pray for the Next Generation
- That God will give each young person strength and zeal to serve Him faithfully.
- That God will use the Covenant Youth to become fishers of people, sharing the gospel and building up their friends in faith.
- That God will raise up more adults with a heart for the next generation, ready to walk with them on their journey of following Him.
May each young person always remember the mark God has placed on their life, grow more and more like Jesus, stay faithful to His calling and become a blessing to many.
