DAY 1
Thursday kicked off with vibrant energy as campers arrived by bus, full of conversation, anticipation, and the joy of finally stepping into the space God invited us to. After receiving name tags and settling into cabins, we gathered for our first meal together: a warm, home-style dinner that marked the start of a weekend rooted in communion, rest, and freedom.
We eased into the evening with a series of meaningful icebreakers. Campers were assigned Love Partners: a camp tradition where each person anonymously writes daily love letters to someone assigned to them. Everyone also penned a Letter to Self, which was sealed and returned at the end of camp. It represented a personal time capsule of reflection and growth. The Haven board was also unveiled as a quiet, anonymous space where campers could post sticky notes to share prayers, confessions, encouragements, or thoughts they didn’t have words for aloud.
Dinner was followed by our first session: a powerful opening night of worship, where God met us with His presence in an undeniable way. Before worship began, the Holy Spirit through Ennie welcomed us to the encounter we sought. We paused to pray and invite the Holy Spirit to take over. As voices rose in raw, unfiltered adoration, the room shifted. We were reminded why we came: to pour out everything before our Audience of One.
The Holy Spirit through Abi Oladesu shared a powerful word based on our theme verse, 1 Corinthians 8:3. She unpacked what it truly means to love God and to be known by Him in return, offering three practical expressions of love based on the amplified version: affectionate reverence, prompt obedience, and unending gratitude.
What followed was a deeply moving time of unfiltered worship. Hearts pouring out before the only One that matters. As voices rose, bodies knelt, and tears fell, the atmosphere shifted. We ended the night in prayer, already sensing the work God had begun, and the freedom He was inviting us into for the rest of the weekend.
DAY 2
Friday began early as cabin captains gently woke everyone up for 6 AM quiet time. There was something special about starting the day in stillness, choosing to meet with God before anything else. We followed with a peaceful prayer walk as a group, and then came together for a powerful morning devotion. Campers shared scriptures and personal reflections, and without any coordination, every message flowed together in a way that only the Holy Spirit could have orchestrated.
After devotion, we took time to freshen up before morning service. Love letters were delivered, and campers quietly read the handwritten encouragements sent to them. Each note reminded them that they were seen, deeply loved, and being prayed for by someone in the room.
As part of the camp-wide fast, everyone was encouraged to skip breakfast and continue fasting as they felt led. We then gathered for service, where worship and prayer flowed freely. The Holy Spirit spoke powerfully through Abbie on the importance of having a personal altar. We were reminded that before public fire comes private surrender. The altar begins in secret, and intimacy with God is something we must choose daily.
Following service, we paused for intermission. Some took time to eat. Others continued pressing in. Then we came together again for another moment of stillness and reflection, letting God minister to our hearts in quietness.
In the afternoon, we divided into men's and women's sessions. The women took part in a physical health session led by the Holy Spirit through Angel. It was a beautiful space where we moved our bodies, encouraged one another, and talked honestly about what it means to honour God through wellness and lifestyle. At the same time, the men gathered for a heart-to-heart session about things that often go unspoken. That conversation led to a deeply moving moment on the beach, where the men embraced, prayed together, and rediscovered the beauty of godly brotherhood. The session was led by the Holy Spirit through Ennie.
Later that evening, we gathered again for our group unfiltered session. Over dinner, we dove into real conversations about faith, culture, and walking with God in today’s world. We talked about the shame some people feel when posting about God, how worship can be confused with vibes, the role of artificial intelligence and how it may be replacing God in certain areas, whether Bible villains deserve second chances, and if God can lead someone into a relationship that is not meant to last forever. The conversation was honest, thought-provoking, and Spirit-filled.
We ended the night with a powerful time of worship and a word on spiritual restoration through Temmy. As the day came to a close, campers slowly returned to their cabins. Some stayed behind to journal, pray, or write more love letters. The atmosphere was quiet and tender. There was a shared sense that God had done something deeply personal, and that it was only just beginning.
DAY 3
Saturday began with another early morning as campers rose at 6 AM for quiet time. We headed out together for a beachside prayer walk where the rhythm of the waves created a calm and expectant atmosphere. We gathered afterward for a powerful devotion led by the Holy Spirit through Fola on the theme You are still known, even if you go astray. It was a tender reminder of God’s unwavering love and how deeply He sees us, even when we wander.
After devotion, campers took time to freshen up while continuing their fast. We returned for a deeply moving session of worship and prayer, followed by a word from the Holy Spirit through Ennie on Clarity. The message explored the tripartite being, God’s perspective, God’s voice, and the tug of war between flesh and spirit for the soul’s attention. It was a moment of divine insight that challenged us to realign and listen.
In response to the word, campers were invited to find a quiet space and take time to listen for the Holy Spirit as they felt led. Across the camp, people sat, stood, and waited in silence, leaning in to hear from God. After that personal time, the fast was broken and we gathered for lunch.
The afternoon shifted into joy and play as the AO1 Olympics began. Campers came together for lighthearted group activities including tug of war, knotted hands, egg races, sprinting, soccer, badminton, and more. The energy was high, and the sense of community was even higher.
As the sun began to lower, we gathered again for another time of worship. There was no rush. Just an open room filled with voices, stillness, and surrender. This flowed into a word from the Holy Spirit through Abbie which continued to emphasize the importance of the personal altar. The call to daily intimacy with God echoed once more with weight and clarity.
Later that evening, campers had a bit of downtime, but worship continued to rise organically. There was no set structure, only people choosing to pour out everything before God.
We ended the night around the campfire. It became a sacred space of reflection where campers shared testimonies and honest words about what this weekend meant to them. Some wept. Some smiled. Some were quiet but present. But the message was the same. God moved. And we are not the same.
DAY 4
Sunday morning came quietly. After three life-changing days in God’s presence, it was time to pack up and head home. Cabins were cleaned, bags were loaded, and hugs were exchanged. Campers boarded the school bus with full hearts, tired eyes, and testimonies they’ll be carrying for a lifetime.
We didn’t leave the same way we came. Something shifted. And it’s only the beginning.
