Speaking as the main speaker of the Sunday morning worship service, Jackson Siipunii deliberated on the theme "The Bible", describing it as the pathfinder for believers.
He explained that the Bible, written by more than 40 authors over a span of 1,500 years, comprises 66 books - 39 in the Old Testament, which foretell the coming of the Messiah, and 27 in the New Testament, which testify to His arrival on earth.

He emphasised that the Bible is not a record of ordinary history but of salvation history, encompassing the truths of God's kingdom, human fall and redemption, salvation through Christ, and the eternal destinies of heaven and hell.
Citing Paul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, Siipunii urged the faithful to reflect on what God wants them to become.
He further stressed that knowledge of the Bible should lead to transformation, providing believers with the strength to resist temptation and cultivate a Christ-like character rooted in love, understanding and obedience.
Highlighting challenges in present-day society, he remarked that many religious leaders had betrayed Christian values, contributing to discord and unrest.
Against this backdrop, he questioned whether Christianity and education had failed the people.
He reminded the congregation that reading the Bible is futile unless its teachings are lived out in daily life.
Rev Th Loly Awuh, PMWU, conducted classes on "God's Warriors", "The Trinity", "Sin and Salvation", and "Set Apart: Living a Holy Life in a Loud World" .
Connie Leivon, youth director of the MRNBA Centre Church, led sessions on "Strategies for a Balanced Life", "Ethics of Christian Dating and Marriage", and "Devotion" .
Jackson Siipunii conducted classes on "Life After Death", "Hope Restored: Overcoming Depression, Stress, and Anxiety Through Faith", "Rooted: Growing Deep in Christ in a Shallow World", and "Final Challenge" during the camp.
Around 70 youths participated in the Bible camp.
