The wonderful SFX Youth Camp

There's just been so many awesome stuff happening at YISS! God just being so real to me!

But on 13th June 2007, at the end of my community retreat, I asked god to grant me the wish of being the main IC of my next community camp. Then the idea of having a parish youth camp came about. I was telling god that it would be really hard to juggle everything and even if we have it, there wouldn't be much people responding to it. Then we started to plan and for 3 months, the youth council of SFX planned it and god blest us with a good response for the youth camp! And to my amazement, I was made main IC for the youth camp and my co main IC was my own community member! Throughout the past 3 months, I've had a really rush cause like got alot of stuff to remember but god has been the guide all the way, helping me to remember everything!

Jumping all the way to the week after YISS. This was the week where there was a real rush for everything because I had to study for my term tests and also i had to finish up whatever was necessary for the youth camp. Everyday from Monday to Thursday was quite a rush but I knew that god's hand was in all of this and also that the Holy Spirit was in me working. I tried very hard to squeeze in silent time but it was really very hard but I just took faith in the lord!

On the night before the camp, I had a dream that on the 2nd night of the camp which was the outpouring session, everything screwed up, where martin and his team weren't there and only sury was there. Then I woke up, feeling a little weird and then realized that I woke up late. So rushing everywhere, I took a cab to first pick up an amplifier from friend and when i reached church, I got off the cab with everything except the amplifier. Then I started to panic a little and after awhile, I just concluded that I'll work next year to pay off my friend. Really what drama on the first day of the camp for me! Then I went to pray in a quite room alone before everyone came and then concluded that all will be ok cause whatever happen to me, I know that what I have is my god and I know he'll never abandon me! Then I ended prayer and took all in faith!

As we started the camp, god gave me great joy and I just shared the joy with everyone at the camp! It was so awesome and exciting standing in front of everyone and just speak to them, it was like a dream come true man! Then about 2 hours later, my friend carried the amplifier into the session room during a time of P&W and then I just started to praise god. I feel like its cheating lah, how can like everything go my way! So awesome!

So as the youth camp went on, there was a desire in my heart which was for everyone in the youth camp to experience god. At that moment, I wanted so much for all the participants to experience god! I guess at that point I was really falling in love with all the participants which is rooted in the love of god! The feeling is just so amazing! And my sharing group was just so awesome man. I always thought why I kept reading the old testament of the bible this year and this time god showed me what the reason was, because my group asked like alot on the history books of the bible, like the time on how Moses saved the Israelites when he brought them out of Egypt. My sharing group was very curious about how god worked in the world from the very beginning of creation.

The youth camp gave me a chance to be a leader of Christ and also to practice the fruits of the Holy Spirit and really god has granted me my hearts desire to lead the youths of SFX to the light of Christ! To all youths, we shall all march on to seek the glory and light of god! AMEN!
