IVCF Central and Eastern Visayas Regional Unit

IVCF Central and Eastern Visayas Regional Unit Follow Page For More ! Since then, our conviction of working along with the churches in its ministry to students and graduates is not waning.

Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) Philippines is a movement that works to bring students and graduates under the transforming grace of God so that they might effect change in their communities and the world. And this year (2023) is also an important milestone for our movement as we celebrate Godโ€™s faithfulness in and through us the past 70 years of our existence. From then on, IVCF has pro

duced leaders serving the Philippine church, government, media, the world of art, literature and music, educational institutions, missions organizations, and community development organizations. Because we believe that IVCF is not a substitute for church involvement nor a substitute for the local church. Therefore, the IVCF chapter on campus is just an evangelistic arm of the local church. We look at the fellowship as a "mission board", the "missionaries" being the Christian students, sent out and supported in prayer by the local church. Lastly, IVCF will not start its own local churches. It is committed to help, to build up and serve the existing local churches. We hope that as we disciple students and graduates, it will be contributing to the growth of the local churches. (sources: IVCF Staff Manual, GT Handbook, Student Handbook)

In Central and Eastern Visayas Regional Unit is composed of 5 islands in the Visayas namely, Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental, Leyte, and Samar. Key cities in these islands have IVCF chapters that are led by students and supported by staff and graduates.

๐˜ฟ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐Ÿฒ marked our final day together at DLTC 2026.

The morning began with our last breakfast and memory verse sharing. After completing our final work assignments, campers took time to reflect and write their personal testimoniesโ€”capturing the lessons, encounters, and ways God moved throughout the camp.

One of the most meaningful highlights of the day was the ๐‘ป๐’†๐’”๐’•๐’Š๐’Ž๐’๐’๐’š ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ.

Through studying God's Word together, they gained new insights, experienced renewed perspectives, and deepened their understanding of Scripture.

More importantly, many affirmed their identity as the Salt and Light of the world and expressed their desire to faithfully lead Bible study groups and make disciples in their respective campuses. Truly, God's Word has transformed hearts and inspired lives.

For our final lunch together, campers gathered according to their Small Groups for our ๐™Ž๐™‚ ๐™‚๐™ค๐™ค๐™™๐™—๐™ฎ๐™š. It was a special time of sharing experiences, affirming one another, exchanging tokens, and celebrating the friendships that had grown throughout the week. There were smiles, laughter, tears, and countless memories revisited around every table.

The camp concluded with our Camp ๐‘ช๐’–๐’๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ Program, where certificates were awarded to campers and counselors who faithfully journeyed through the six-day training camp. It was a moment of celebration, gratitude, and thanksgiving for all that God had accomplished.

As DLTC 2026 officially came to a close, we lifted all glory back to God. We thank Him for His provision, protection, and faithfulness throughout the entire camp. We are grateful for every prayer offered, every resource given, every sacrifice made, and every person God used to make this camp possible.

Above all, we praise Him for the lives transformed by His Word.

Though camp has ended, the memories remainโ€”the laughter shared in the session hall, the conversations around the mess hall, the testimonies that strengthened our faith, the friendships that were formed, and the lessons that will continue to shape us long after we leave.
Distance may separate us, but our love for Christ and our shared vision of building His Kingdom will always keep us connected.

Thank you, campers. Thank you, counselors. Thank you, partners and supporters.
Until we meet againโ€”

Five days have already passed since the beginning of DLTC 2026, and what a journey it has been! As camp slowly approaches its conclusion, our hearts are filled with gratitude for all that God has taught, revealed, and accomplished in our lives.

The day began with our elective sessions, where campers were given the opportunity to explore topics relevant to ministry and discipleship. Sessions included ๐™…๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ฎ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™‡๐™‚๐˜ฝ๐™๐™Œ+ ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™™๐™ž๐™ซ๐™ž๐™™๐™ช๐™–๐™ก๐™จ, ๐™๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐˜พ๐™๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ, ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐˜พ๐™๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™–๐™ฃ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง-๐˜พ๐™ช๐™ก๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™š ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐˜ผ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ค๐™œ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™˜๐™จ. These discussions equipped campers to engage thoughtfully, biblically, and compassionately with the realities they may encounter in their campuses and communities.

We also celebrated ๐ˆ๐…๐„๐’ ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ, where campers proudly wore their university uniforms to represent their respective campuses. Together, we prayed for different prayer concerns and ministry opportunities, reminding us that we are part of a larger movement of students seeking to make Christ known in campuses across the nation and beyond.

During lunch, we received our final campus report from ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ซ๐š๐ง. Hearing how God continues to work in different campuses encouraged us to keep praying, supporting, and partnering in His mission.

One of the most anticipated moments of the day was finally hereโ€”Manuscript Bible Study Facilitation.

After days of learning, observing, and preparing, campers were given the opportunity to facilitate their own MBS sessions. It was a meaningful experience as they applied everything they had learned throughout the camp and witnessed God's Word being explored and shared within their groups.

Following the facilitation, campers gathered for the Scripture Engagement Culmination, where they shared their experiences, reflections, and evaluations with their Co-Areas. It was a joyful time of testimony, learning, and praise as we celebrated God's faithfulness throughout the MBS journey.

As we shared our final dinner together at camp, the mess hall was filled with conversations, laughter, stories, and smiles. The days seemed to pass by so quickly, yet every moment was filled with God's goodness and grace.

To conclude the night, campers participated in the ๐…๐ข๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐ž. Through various stations presenting real-life situations and struggles faced by people living in darkness, campers were challenged to reflect on how they can become the Salt and Light that God has called them to be. The challenge reminded us that our faith is not meant to stay within the campgrounds, it is meant to impact lives wherever God sends us.

As we prepare to return to our campuses, we pray that the lessons learned, friendships formed, and truths discovered will continue to bear fruit in the days ahead.
We can't wait to see how God will use each of you in your respective campuses and communities.

And always remember:

๐˜ฟ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐Ÿฐ was a day of deepening our understanding of God's Kingdom and His mission for His people.

The day began with ๐™Œ๐™ช๐™ž๐™š๐™ฉ ๐™๐™ž๐™ข๐™š, breakfast, and our assigned work responsibilities, reminding us that worship is not only expressed through words but also through faithful service.

Our morning session featured ๐™€๐™ญ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ 2: ๐™‡๐™ค๐™ง๐™™๐™จ๐™๐™ž๐™ฅ ๐™ค๐™› ๐˜พ๐™๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ.. Together, we reflected on three important truths: Christ is Lord over all creation, the Lordship of Christ requires total surrender, and true submission to His Lordship results in a transformed life. The session challenged us to examine whether every area of our lives is truly under Christ's rule.

Following our Small Group discussions and break time, campers returned to their Manuscript Bible Study Workshops, where they continued to dive deeper into God's Word and sharpen their observation and facilitation skills.

During lunch, we were encouraged by another campus report, this time from Leyte. Hearing about God's faithfulness and ongoing work in their campus ministry reminded us that He continues to move powerfully across different campuses and communities.

The afternoon was spent continuing our MBS Study Time before gathering for ๐™€๐™ญ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ 3: ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™†๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™™๐™ค๐™ข ๐™ค๐™› ๐™‚๐™ค๐™™. Through this session, we learned that the Kingdom of God is the reign of Christ, that God continues to advance His Kingdom in a fallen world, and that His Kingdom gives believers hope for the future. We were also challenged to consider the vital role of the Church in God's mission to reach the nations.

To put these lessons into practice, campers participated in the ๐™ˆ๐™ž๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™ˆ๐™š๐™–๐™ก, an activity designed to help us understand the realities of missions and cultivate a heart for reaching the unreached, including international students and people from different cultural backgrounds within our own campuses.

The day's learning culminated in ๐™ˆ๐™ž๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™‰๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ, where campers rotated through five different stations featuring realistic campus scenarios. Each station challenged us to think critically and respond biblically to situations we may encounter in ministry.

Through these activities, we were encouraged to stand for the oppressed, journey faithfully with others, respect different cultures and beliefs, and boldly share the grace and salvation found in Jesus Christ.

As ๐˜ฟ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐Ÿฐ came to a close, we were reminded that God's mission is not only for missionaries overseasโ€”it is a calling for every believer. Wherever God has placed us, we are called to be His witnesses and make disciples.

Thank You, Lord, for expanding our hearts for Your Kingdom and Your mission. May we continue to say "yes" to Your calling and faithfully proclaim Your Gospel wherever You send us.

๐˜ฟ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐Ÿฏ was filled with deeper encounters with God's Word as campers immersed themselves in learning, studying, and applying the Scriptures together.

The day began with a session on the ๐‘จ๐’–๐’•๐’‰๐’๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’š ๐’๐’‡ ๐‘บ๐’„๐’“๐’Š๐’‘๐’•๐’–๐’“๐’†, where campers explored the origins of the Bible, its inspiration, the contents of both the Old and New Testaments, and the historical context behind its writings. Through interactive activities and discussions, we were reminded of the reliability and significance of God's Word.

Each Small Group was then assigned to expound on one of the ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ ๐™๐™š๐™–๐™จ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™ก๐™ž๐™š๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™ž๐™—๐™ก๐™š. As groups shared their insights, we discovered the historical, geographical, prophetic, and scientific evidences that affirm the Bible's credibility. More importantly, we were reminded that the Bible is God's living Wordโ€”true, trustworthy, endorsed by Jesus, and powerful enough to transform lives.

The highlight of the day was our ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐ฎ๐ฌ๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ ๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐’๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ (MBS) sessions for both Narrative and Discourse passages. Through careful observation and group discussions, campers uncovered rich truths from Scripture and were amazed by the insights shared within their groups. It became evident that the Holy Spirit was guiding each participant as we encountered God's Word personally and collectively.

During lunch, we were blessed to hear another ๐’„๐’‚๐’Ž๐’‘๐’–๐’” ๐’“๐’†๐’‘๐’๐’“๐’•, this time from Eastern Samar. Learning about God's work in different campuses encouraged us and reminded us to continue praying for fellow students and ministries across the region.

In the afternoon, campers participated in ๐‘บ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’๐’ ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’๐’–๐’‘ ๐Ÿ’: ๐‘ถ๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’„๐’๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘บ๐’Š๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ป๐’†๐’Ž๐’‘๐’•๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’. Together, we learned about the journey of the Christian life through Justification, Sanctification, and Glorification. The session challenged us to take sin seriously, flee from temptation, and continually depend on God's grace as we pursue holiness.

The learning continued as we returned to our ๐‘ด๐‘ฉ๐‘บ ๐‘พ๐’๐’“๐’Œ๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’‘๐’”. Working together on the same passages allowed us to sharpen one another's observations and gain deeper understanding of the text. Every discussion revealed new insights and strengthened our appreciation for Scripture.

And then came one of the most energetic parts of the dayโ€”๐‘น๐’†๐’„๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐‘ป๐’Š๐’Ž๐’†!

Campers suited up in their sports attire and enthusiastically participated in various challenge stations. Cheers, laughter, teamwork, and friendly competition filled the atmosphere as work groups encouraged one another and overcame each challenge together.

To cap off the day, campers returned to their MBS Workshops, this time focusing on crafting meaningful, thought-provoking questions that could be used in facilitating future Bible studies. It was a fitting way to end a day centered on knowing, understanding, and sharing God's Word.
Indeed, God's Word is alive and active. As we continue this journey together, may we not only study the Scriptures but also allow them to shape the way we live.

Thank You, Lord, for a fruitful Day 3. May Your Word continue to transform hearts, renew minds, and equip us to become faithful disciples and leaders for Your glory.

Continue to pray with us as DLTC 2026 unfolds. More lessons, breakthroughs, and God stories await!

Our Day 2 began with a meaningful time of ๐‘ธ๐’–๐’Š๐’†๐’• ๐‘ป๐’Š๐’Ž๐’† ๐’•๐’๐’ˆ๐’†๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“, allowing us to start the day in God's presence. This was followed by a special Harana from our male campers as part of the preparations for the evening's highlight.

The morning session featured ๐‘ฌ๐’™๐’‘๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐Ÿ: ๐‘ป๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’š led by our expositor, Ptr. Jonathan. Through this session, we gained a deeper understanding of the biblical doctrine of the Trinityโ€”one of the foundational truths of the Christian faith.

We were also blessed to hear about the work of the Lord through IVCF Cebu and to listen to the powerful testimony of one of our campers. Her story of God's saving grace and transforming power reminded us of His faithfulness and His ability to change lives.

In the afternoon, campers participated in ๐‘บ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’๐’ ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’๐’–๐’‘ ๐Ÿ‘: ๐‘ญ๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’š, where we creatively expressed our relationships with our family members through drawings and symbols. As stories were shared, we became grateful for the families represented in our groups and were encouraged to continually lift them up in prayer.

This was followed by ๐‘ท๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’๐’๐’‰๐’๐’๐’… ๐Ÿ‘: ๐‘ฐ๐’๐’๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ฏ๐’†๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, a session that explored how experiences, values, and patterns are often passed from one generation to the next. It challenged us to reflect on our own stories and God's healing work in our lives.

The most anticipated event of the day was ๐˜ฝ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฆ๐™ช๐™š๐™ฉ ๐™‰๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ: ๐™‡๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š, ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™จ๐™๐™ž๐™ฅ, ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ง๐™ง๐™ž๐™–๐™œ๐™š, ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™Ž๐™š๐™ญ. This session provided a biblical perspective on relationships, purity, sexuality, and God's design for love and commitment. It encouraged us to honor God in every season and to wait on His timing and purpose.

Banquet Night quickly became one of the campers' favorite moments, filled with laughter, memorable stories, meaningful conversations, and valuable insights that will surely stay with us beyond camp.

As Day 2 came to an end, our hearts were filled with gratitude.

Thank You, Lord, for the grace You continually pour out upon Your people. Thank You for the lessons learned, the testimonies shared, and the lives being transformed. May we carry these truths back to our campuses and communities, living as faithful witnesses of Your love.
Only two days into camp, yet You have already done amazing things in each of our lives.

Welcome to DLTC 2026 with the theme "๐’๐š๐ฅ๐ญ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‹๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ" based on ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ฌ ๐Ÿฑ:๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฏโ€“๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฒ.

We praise the Lord for a blessed and successful opening day of camp. We thank Him for His protection over every camper as they safely arrived at the venue, and we celebrate every heart that courageously responded to God's invitation to be part of this journey. We praise the Lord for 60 campers and 31 student counselors.

After settling in, the campers entered into Spiritual Retreat 1, taking time to listen to God's voice and prepare their hearts for the days ahead. During lunch, they experienced a monk mealโ€”a simple yet meaningful moment that allowed them to eat in silence, recollect themselves, and find rest after their travels.

The afternoon continued with reflection sharing, where campers openly shared the fruits of their retreat experience. Recreation 1 followed, featuring the Acquaintance Program, Camp Orientation, and Theme Talk led by our OAD, Ate Andria Joy Galla.

Laughter filled the halls, new friendships began to bloom, and curiosity turned into meaningful conversations during our Small Group Getting-to-Know-You sessions. As the day progressed, campers also faithfully embraced their work assignments, learning the value of service and responsibility within the camp community.

A major highlight of Day 1 was Personhood 1: Self-Image and Leadership Struggles.

For the Discipleship Track, the session became an opportunity to discover more about themselves and their God-given purpose. For the Leadership Track, it served as a space of affirmation and encouragement, where campers realized that they were not alone in their struggles and were equipped with biblical perspectives on overcoming them.

As the day came to a close, campers retired for the night with grateful hearts and renewed strength.

We thank the Lord for the lives of our Ates and Kuyas, for every student who worked hard to raise funds, and for everyone who made this camp possible. Above all, we acknowledge that none of this could happen without God's grace, provision, and faithfulness.

Thank You, Lord, for a fruitful beginning. We are excited to witness the many ways You will continue to reveal Yourself, transform lives, and renew hearts throughout this camp.

May you continue to pray with us as the camp unfolds. See you around, campers!

๐˜ฟ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐Ÿญ was filled with spiritual retreat and sharing, praise and prayer, getting-to-know-you activities, team building, personality assessment through D.I.R.T., and sessions on how to effectively counsel and minister to campers.

๐˜ฟ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐Ÿฎ began with quiet time, followed by a talk on facilitation, camp orientation, committee preparations and presentations, and practices for our special events. Every activity was designed to help us prepare to serve, guide, and warmly welcome the campers.

More importantly, these two days reminded us that our service is ultimately for the Lord. As we continue preparing for ๐˜ฟ๐™‡๐™๐˜พ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ, we praise God for His guidance, provision, and faithfulness every step of the way.

May you also continue to pray with us as we prepare for this camp and for every life that will be part of it. We are excited to see what God has in store for all of us.
