Greetings! CLAY staff are excited to introduce CLAY 2026's annual youth retreat. Our mission at the Christ-like Asian Youth camp retreat is to strengthen and encourage youth toward spiritual maturity in Jesus Christ.
This year's theme is "Not Our Home;" it reminds us that as believers of Christ, we are to look towards eternity and to the afterlife as well as the coming of Christ. The passage emphasizes that there is more to this life than just living. Hebrews 13:14 reads, "For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to our city in heaven, which is yet to come."
