“ Born 2 Win ” ( Report of Halo , a 3 day camp for youth boys held at Sitheri hills , Tamil Nadu )
The Sitheri Campus was teeming with college students on the very first day of the three day camp . 1346 boys from all over Tamil Nadu had registered for this camp . We even had participants from Bangalore and Gujarat . The camp started with much fanfare and cultural programmes . But as the sessions proceeded the crowd started to become sombre and reverent . Many experienced a direct encounter with God and many more were blessed through one or the other sessions of the camp .

Testimonies I attended the camp for the first time . I was filled with the Holy Spirit and have committed for full time ministry .
I felt the presence of God in this camp .
I learnt a lot about holy living . I also got many friends .
