Simply Amazing
Can you believe it?! While we were in Sentosa the whole 4 days, it didn't rain at all! Well only in the night, but that's ok cos we were all under shelter and it didn't affect our programmes. THANK YOU GOD!So many things could have gone wrong during the camp, like the weather, no space on the beach for programmes, injuries, etc. God really provided for us, and we really had to have faith that everything would proceed smoothly. It did. =)Attendance was worrying at first cos on Monday, we only got back 30 application forms, but on the day itself, the turnout came to more than 60,
Was in charge of the games for the camp, and I'm really glad that everything turned out so perfect. We had this beach relay that took place on Friday morning. We needed a lot of space for it so I was worried that the beach goers would get in the way. But on Friday morning, Palawan Beach was almost COMPLETELY deserted, and even more amazing was that the minute we ended our programme, the crowds started coming in. Talk about perfect timing!
The whole theme of the camp was "Surviving With The Saviour" and we got Pastor Glenn to be the speaker. He was from True Way a few years back and used to lead the youth group here. He's since moved to Melbourne to be based in a church there. It was nice to see him back, remember seeing him in church when I was back in pri school.
His messages were really good for the teens cos they were peppered with a lot of anecdotes and stories to keep them interested. It was a good refresher for me, but it's a pity I couldn't sit through all the messages, cos' I had to prepare for the programmes beforehand.
The last night we had this massive waterbomb fight. The whole thing lasted less than 5 minutes, although we took like an hour to prepare 500 water bombs. Haha. It was mayhem. They didn't even wait for me to state all the rules. I was unwittingly caught in the crossfire, and eventually got dunked in the sea by Druce and gang. Mmm...salty.
Just as the campers thought the day was over, we took them to the jungle trail for them to do a solo walk. It was quite dark and some of the campers were nervous at the thought of walking through the dark jungle trail alone. They all made it through, even though some were quite intimidated. Thank God no one got injured. The route was quite rocky at certain parts.
John, Yee Lin, Shiwei, Ben, Theva, Kien Seng, Yilin, Serene, Weiliang, Suye, a big thank you for helping out with the organisation.
All glory back to God for watching over us and just providing EVERYTHING.THANK YOU!!!
