Solving the People Puzzle

“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made . . ." (Psalm 139:14)

Earth Shakers (ES) was launched (Oct 2007) with the intent of making a difference among our circle of influence for Jesus.

Last April 26-27, 2008, twenty-nine (29) persons joined the "Solving the People Puzzle" (SPP) Camp at the Rizal Re-creation Center (Rizal, Laguna). 13 campers are CAFÉ members, while 12 campers are invites of ES members.

Through the compact overnight camp, we were able to ...

• Travel seven (7) hours (Manila to Laguna back & forth)
  
• Learn the three (3) sessions of understanding, appreciating & working with the four different personalities (DISC); Neil Ty & Kats Tan taught the SPP seminar
• Discover our physical skills & Stretch ourselves to the limit through the rough, tough & challenging Obstacle Course
• Discuss & Share "Life Issues" in Care Groups
• Hang-out & Chat with new friends at the bonfire
• Chew Up three (3) buffet, eat-all-you-can meals
• Slide through & Play basketball game on the swimming pool
• Spend our free time ... playing the super-sized chess match, climbing up the tree house, playing in the sandy beach volleyball, shooting hoops in the basketball court, passing & flying the freeze-bee on the huge green field and taking countless of pictures!

How were we able to do all of these? By the grace, strength & protection of our great God alone! We deeply praise Him for touching the hearts of the campers. We discovered that the only way we can develop versatility & build stronger relationships with other people (in spite of differences in personalities) is by opening up our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ and allow Him to live His life in and through us! (see Philippians 2:5-11) Praise be to God, eight (8) persons have indicated that through the camp, they received Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior! We give God all glory & honor that we could take part in God's kingdom expansion in our little way!
