Each LTC I’ve been to spawns anticipation and excitement inside me. Maybe because most of who I have become and what I am doing right now have been largely influenced by the first LTI I went to some 30 years ago. Every LTC echoes the urgency of bringing the lost world back to God. Countless have been changed after a simple presentation of the gospel. God indeed prepares the leaders oftomorrow using the curriculum inside the “camp”.

The meat of the this year’s LTC for me, I would say, was my personal journey with God while studying and reviewing the talks I was assigned to give. One talk that stood out was meditating and rediscovering the implications of what GRACE really means for us who have come to know the Lord. It was both very humbling and awesome at the same time. That when we were His enemies, when we were dead in our trespasses and sin, when everything about us was just the exact opposite of good, He took the initiative to reconcile and bridged the gap. It was a very costly move on His part. His own blood was the payment. Where in the world can we find someone who pursued an enemy relentlessly

to be reconciled and paid for it with his dear life?
