CPU alumni donate a cottage at Camp Higher Ground
The CPU College of Theology Batch 1988 donated a cottage at Camp Higher Ground situated near the big cross at the hill of the area. Together with some members of the batch, and some administrative officials of the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches, they held a Dedication Ceremony last January 25, 2022.
According to the CPBC General Secretary, Rev. Dr. Jerson B. Narciso, “The newly constructed cottage (Doesn’t really look like a “Tree House” as originally conceived) at Camp Higher Ground is a humble contribution of the CPU College of Theology Batch 88 Alumni to our Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches.” It is worth noting that this is the batch of the General Secretary.
Furthermore, he reiterated that “We hope that through this project we would be able to contribute towards the development of CHG so that someday it would become a place of destination and where people can go for recreation, fun, family bonding, reflection, meditation, and spiritual nourishment. It is also our hope that CHG will become self-sustaining and finally become a major source of revenue to support our varied ministries.”
Rev. Narciso also challenges the churches and institutions to donate for the improvement of Camp Higher Ground. He said, “May it also serve as a landmark of faith that will challenge other individuals, groups, churches, and organizations to also give their share for the development of our camp.” He revealed that CPU President Dr. Teodoro and Mrs. Angel Robles have already made a donation for the construction of a chapel on top of the hill near the cross.
The General Secretary is also grateful for the constant suggestions and donations of two Centralians – Mrs. Nora Gierza and Mrs. Easter Arora.
The minister who led the dedication, Rev. Jenkins Bañas, CPBC Director for Missions and Evangelism, is also a Centralian.
