The United English Summer Camp 2026 was initiated by the couple of our new Head Pastor as an opportunity for inactive 2nd Generation members from Japan to learn and practice English while experiencing the warmth of the church community in the Philippines.

The main purpose of the camp was not only to provide an English-learning experience but also to help the participants reconnect with the church, build meaningful relationships, and experience a positive and welcoming community with local 2nd Gens, brothers, and sisters. Based on the experiences of previous batches, some Japanese participants returned to Japan with a renewed heart and became more active in church activities.

This year, three precious Japanese 2nd Gen sisters participated in the camp from August 3–27, 2026, together with six staff members. During their stay, they were able to experience the community beyond the English classes by attending Sunday Services, Holy Day celebrations, and other church activities. They also had opportunities to interact with and build friendships with fellow 2nd Gens and members of the Antipolo Family Church.

Through this camp, we hope that the participants will return to Japan with good memories, meaningful relationships, and a renewed connection to the church and their faith community.
