Being a Christian in a Non-Christian World.

the theme for the camp just past me. it was at sofitel. a place that diana and i have fond memories of. but on the last day, uncle yau seng reminded me of another thing to remember of this resort. 9 years ago, i went with my sister and my grandmother to our first church camp at sofitel. my parents weren't there.

on the last night, popo went to the front during a time of open sharing and prayer to offer a prayer to God. that night, she prayed that my father will give his life to Jesus.

years later, God answered that prayer. Papa accepted Christ and got baptised as well. Thank God for that. This year, Uncle YS reminded all with this example that God answers prayer. He then asked us to present our heart's desire to God that morning on the 5th of dec.

i did. God, please hear me. Amen.

apart from this, there were, surprisingly but not regretably, few highlights of the camp:

1. the messages.

2. the time spent with diana.

3. the time spent with the guys, esp during swimming. that was crazy, i really enjoyed myself.

4. my new levi's redloop jeans. and that shameless t-shirt i bought for Rm39.90. :P

5. seeing how God has worked and had a hand in Theon's life.

6. seeing God repairs and mends broken relationships.

7. the effort made by some youth leaders to be closer with their youths.

8. umm.. playing with the twins david & bryan and moses & joshua and also leah and noah (not twins).

9. soccer with the guys and children and captain's ball thereafter.

the list seems like quite a lot to be happy about or thankful for.. well, spiritually, yes. it's quite a good list.. but nothing much in terms of relationships between peers. i think overall, i was very disappointed with the way certain individuals view relationships/friendships with others.

think that's all for the list lah. yeah, a boring camp in terms of activities and all.. but an exciting one in terms of the spiritual lessons to take home.

cheers.
