WEFC Youth Camp MMV is over. all the hard work for the past one year and all the preparations are finally over. what is my reaction? im still groggy after lack of sleep and just waking up. i dun really miss camp but i do miss preparing and planning programmes, helping in making props, running about trying to find the keys to Shiloh room, and spending time with the camp com and doing stupid things like making a snowman out of rice and other stuff during dinner.
im going to miss the prep talk and vitamin C tablets that sam gives, the way farand's face light up whenever tiger comes to our table in the kopitiam, the way eunice try to make a snowman and a christmas tree out of the food that she didn't finish eating. u guys have make a impact in my life and i have a lot of fun working with u all. im going to make a commitment to talk to u guys once in a while.
this year camp is really special and different. not becuz this is the first year that im in camp com but becuz i really see God work in the camp. i was really happy to see ppl taking the step of obedience in coming to the front and saying that they will commit their lives to Him. they were broken but His spirit was there to heal them. they were feeling guilty but His love reminded them that their sins is no more in account
. i was broken but His spirit was there to heal me. i were feeling guilty but His love reminded me that my sins is no more in account. Life change. the testimony of life change is amazing. its more than amazing. ppl experiencing the touch of God personally, make a commitment to submit to God and not live like childern of darkness but instead children of the light, authentic children of the most High King. how can u describe something like that in just mere words? the third day sermon was esp endearing and it tugged at my heart just thinking abt it. seeing them cry, i feel the dynamics of Youth Ministry lifting. this was a side of the brothers, the older youth that we have never seen. the bond that held them close and make them cry when one of them has back slidden. i think it shown us all the importance of living in the Spirit.
like everyone in the camp, i've known much more about the Holy Spirit. He is our
guide, our
counselor, the one who aids us in winning the many unseen battles in our lives. and we can
grow to love Him, just like how we love God and Jesus. im still learning about Him and about living in His Spirit, but what i want is to know Him personally.
of course the whole camp have its own moments of fun and laughter. lol, the time that we did the dance to 'Jesus, You're My Superhero' and then on Omega Night, we did it again with more funny dance steps (all thanks to Pastor Jabez and both Marcus and all the army guys) and shrieks of laughter. not forgetting the time when wei xiang and the guys tekan andrew. that was hilarious!
all in all, i've learned and grown in this camp. if it wouldn't for this camp, i wouldn't have the chance to work and get to know the camp com better. i wouldn't have seen the other side of the brothers and P.Jabez. i wouldn't have learned more abt the Holy Spirit and also abt living in Him. i wouldn't had seen a glimpse of my strengths and weaknesses. most imptly, i wouldn't have
experienced the touch of God."Dear God, i wanna praise and thank You for everything that You have done and have worked in our eyes. i thank You for the wonderful weather and for the programmes, that we could have fun and bond with our teams. Oh Lord, i thank You for my TL and my ATL, Jie and Tiffany for their hard work and for making my team so fun. for my team, that they have not only had fun, but they've known more about You and just grow in Your Spirit. i just wanna pray that those friendship that we have formed in camp is not just something that will fade away when camp is over, but is something that we will hold on and cherish for the rest of our lives. Oh Lord, the passion that we have felt for you, let it grow and let each and every one of us hold fast to you. that we will not just have a spiritual high, but this is something that we make a commitment to. to love and submit our lives, to continue living in the Spirit so that You may use us for Your glory. Oh Lord, may we not feed the black dog in our life but feed and nurture the white dog. Oh Holy Spirit, thank You for dwelling in our lives and also for guiding us through our lives. Aids us so that we may win the unseen battles. Oh God, i commit my life to You into Your hands. In Jesus name, Amen"Thought of the day: Youth camp may be over but the unseen battles continues on. a battle of faith. are you ready for it?
