GY Camp 2008

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to
the ends of the earth."-Acts 1:8

Theme: TNT (Transform aNd Trend-Set) the world

This years' camp comprised of a little over 200 campers barging into Peace Haven campsite at Genting from Monday to Thursday. Many teams had funny names-among them oBOMBa, Ka-Bloo-Ie, Ka-Pow, Roti Bom and Chatan (mine mine!). got 11 groups overall. I was given the privilege of being a group advisor to David Poh and Vyonne Ann's Chatan (in Hokkien it means bomb) and the dorm leader of D-4-3 with my lovely assistant May Choo (didn't get her email add =()

It's always a different experience you get when you meet God face to face-There's never the SAME kind of thing that happens when the Holy Spirit moves through you.
You get a unique experience.
God reveals to you different matters that you need to know about.
And the Holy Spirit will manifest in you either by speaking in toungues, in dreams and visions-and all this will strengthen your faith by leaps, bounds and steps.

(Speaking in tongues is a manifestation of God's power in you. It's a prayer and praise to God in a language you do not understand and is proof that the Holy Spirit is living)

Personally, I've never spoken in tongues before.
On the second night, Pastor Gurmit asked those who've been baptised in the Spirit to pray for those who have not.
I stood behind one of my group members (i don't know if i can use her name here) and prayed for her-praying for the Holy Spirit to be anointed on her, to flow within her like a gushing river-and really, really ask God for her to have an encounter with the Holy Spirit. Transform her life so that she will trend-set the world. And praise the Lord, she did! She started speaking in tongues.
Proof that God used both of us as instruments for His glory.

I really thank God for that-because I've been having thoughts that God had lost faith in me. So here i am blogging as a testimony of God's faith and grace in a sinner like me-He can do the same for anybody. As long as you have faith in HIM.

I've got MORE to blog about. Among them:
The abscence of Perky and Emo and the intro of SuSam in the News Crew!
Hydrowar, when ALL them teams allied to "kill" us off (but we managed to get the committee's help for defense)
The last night, at 1 in the morning, when we lied on the cold tar road in darkness, looking at the millions of stars in the almost-clear sky.
Vanessa and Evelyn bodek-ing their hearts out for Chatan! Cute psycho button mushrooms, they are.
Pastor Henry's sharing.
The food that gets cold really, REALLY fast in the cold weather.
