ALREADY HISTORY

Close All

Yeah! Today marks the end of Youth Camp 2005 R2M2, but it's just the beginning of something special! Haha... Please grab some pop-corn and find a comfy chair to sit, coz I think this is gonna be one looooooonnnnnnnnnng post. Most of it will just be a summary of what happened, but those that are color coded are really cool testimonies that I think God shows how much he provided for this camp. =)

Well, on Sat I took cab to Hope Center, coz I've to bring lots of stuff. After everyone arrived and all that, we broke into 6 groups and did briefing. And the first activity was to design the group flag and do a group cheer.

Oh... Before that when I was at home, I was panicking coz on the first day we were suppose to design group flags as the first activity. But I forgot to buy mahjong paper! So I MSN a few people if they can help me buy, I told them to buy 10 mahjong paper if they can but everyone couldn't find anywhere that sold them. So I prayed and left the house, turns out that nearby my house the mama shop got sell! And they exactly left 10 pieces of mahjong paper! When I arrived at the place, Marcus managed to get 2 pieces, so we have 12 pieces in total, just nice can give 2 to every group! We also didn't get markers to design the flag with! But the place where we went to already had 6 markers ready for us to use! All this cannot be coincidence, and all the prompting to be mindful of God's presences by various people before the camp, I think is God's way to prepare me for this camp. If not I would've just ignored small things like this as just 'luck' or something else. =)

So the first activity was a success I guess? Hehe... Then we had dinner and the first Worship and Word session.

The word was good, it was sort of a confirmation of what I have set out to do. You know for the past few weeks, I've heard so many sermons, sharings, and testimonies, all emphasising on reading God's word. So many times that it can never be a coincidence, mindful mindful.

This youth camp is so special, so different! You all know whenever we have camps, it's always the last day then we all really let loose and pray for everyone and just let the spirit flow right? Our first night we already lidat liao lor! Haha... So nice, the way God works. And it's so apt that the theme of the camp is Recharge and Reach Out, I can see that most of them were all Recharged after going for prayer!

The 2nd day, was kinda like a disaster in terms of games, coz I didn't really planned fully for the Sunday water bomb games, I'll elaborate later on. We skipped the morning workshop to go buy stuff for the games on Monday. After that we went to labador park for 3 hours and finished our water bomb games in just one hour. I was totally at a lost, I didn't know what to do! So we just played ice breaker games until the bus came, the games on Sunday was a flop. Yea... I kept asking Barny "what time is it?" like every 5 minutes, I just couldn't wait to get out of that place and forget abt it. Ate dinner at Tiong Bahru Market, nice stuff. Then had worship and word again.

After that had altar call again, and same thing happened everyone got touched by the Lord! You could really see the spirit flowing in the place, really powerful stuff.

I did some QT after the service, and I felt God prompting me to read the Martha and Mary story. I know it's a very common story to everyone else, but on that night it was like totally different for me. For most people, they would interpret it like this; we should always put God, and not doing work for God, first. But that time when I read it, a different message came out from that story. Basically what I gather from it is that, I shouldn't use this very same meaning to this story to make an excuse for what I do.

Most of the time when I say "God I leave everything to you!", I don't really mean it. It was just me being lazy and saying this overused line to sort of comfort myself. It was for this very reason that the Sunday water bomb games were a flop, I just said "Let God be in control" and stuff like that, and did nothing about it. No prayer, no planning, nothing. So in that small little corner I repented and tried to make things right again. I gathered my Monday games people team and tried my very best to brief them, and after that Mabel, Ethel and me went to prepare the stuff needed for it. After everything was over, I just prayed.

Monday came and I went to school, really anxious about the games and all that. I really thought it would be a total flop just like the Sunday games.

Then the killer came when Grace called me, she told me it was raining. I didn't know what to do! Haha... So I just told her to call me back in 30 minutes to see if it's still raining. After I put down the phone, I prayed very hard to the Lord, to show me what to do. I prayed for alot of things, like for the rain to stop in 30 minutes, and I just got the impression that God allowed to rain to occur so that the games will not be held anymore and thus we'll prevent a flop from taking place. But don't care la, just prayed hard. Then around 30 minutes later, Grace called me to say the rain has stopped! Wow! PTL man! Haha... Really nice.

So I went to join them halfway thru school, and turns out the whole things was going quite well! The clues, especially the nunnery one, were kinda tough as we planned it to be. The game didn't end like hours before the bus came, and I guess everyone had fun. Really thank God for making this happen, THANK YOU LORD!!

Then the final nite of the camp, we had worship all the way. Really cool man, Auntie Karen said "It was the best youth worship in the history of KFC", Alvin said "The atmoshpere is very comparable to Hillsongs conference". You guys should've seen the people! They were like so happy and going wild doing silly things, being fools for Christ! Everyone was like shouting ans singing and jumping around. And even tho we didn't practice at all, we could see God's provision and love around us. Even tho we played the wrong chords and all that, the people didn't cared and their voices just drowned out the music. If it were like last time youth service, I guess they would just stop singing and just stare at the guitarist or something, hahaha...

Didn't slept until 3am, we played dunno wad slient heart attack, stupid game la, hahaha... Then just chilled and stoned and then slept. Today we had worship, shared our testimonies and gave out the games prizes, then we broke camp. Went to Plaza Sing to eat lunch and played arcade. Sorry I 'pang seh'ed you all watch movie, coz I know I confirm pay $7 to go in the cinema and sleep one. Haha.. Sorry la, I still owe u something huh? Find one day go eat swensens la. =)

Super tired, I got running nose and sore throat. Maybe I can get a MC for tomolo? Dunno... See first la. Bye bye. Good nite. =)

Btw, I took about 2 hours to write this quite long post, and I didn't write abt every single thing that happened. If you want a very comprehensive blog entry about the camp, please head over to Jeremy Ling's blog in my blog links. Hehe... =)
