wow this camp is so unexpected.
before camp i wasn't really looking forward to it, not saying that i don't want to go, just that it doesn't feel like its camp. but wow i was taken aback. it was so fun, so fruitful, unlike any other camp i've been to.
this camp allowed me to learn alot definitely, to interact with people and even leaders from different campuses to share about our lives, to have hands on activities instead of just teachings, to dream dreams, to get back with God, and to bond with my group.
i really love the activities. this camp has 7 activities and only 2 teachings in total. i love the Walk of Faith. it was a 3 hour night walk. the instruction was to only take instructions from the chief commander, we weren't suppose to listen to anyone else, even our group leaders. we were allowed to buy food, buy whatever, go anywhere, but only with the chief commander's permission. at first i thought this walk would have obstacles or what, but there wasn't, we just walk around the neighbourhood for 3 hours talking to one another. until my group leader, nel, shouted "who wanna buy ice cream?", my entire group went like "me me me" excited and tagged behind her, away from the group, towards
esso station, into cheers to buy ice cream. after eating our delicious ice cream, some of us realise it was a trap. i mean, we weren't suppose to listen to our leaders, only the commander's. oh no. when we reach our destination, all of us just sat on the floor to wait. then nel came along and asked "who say you all can sit down?" we sat down because other people sat down, the commander didn't say we could.
i learn alot from this activity, that we should only obey God's instructions. if our leaders do something that isn't right, we shouldn't blindly follow, which some of us did when nel asked us to buy ice cream. also its easy to fall into temptations around us even without knowing, we fell into nel's trap without even knowing it was a trap. and to persevere throughout the walk. its tiring. 3 hours just walking without knowing where we're heading, its tough, but we've got to persevere.
another activity i love is Dream for the Stars. we went to henderson waveform to dream. it wasn't at night though. it was a peaceful time where we all dream big for our personal goals and campus goals. the experience is really indescribable.
i know my dream - to lead a huge, grand choir to perform all over the world, that people will come to listen to us. our songs and singing will touch them, and after the performance, there will be altar call for people to come to accept Christ into their lives. i can see it. its magnificent!
and also to be an evangelist for God. i can't stand people leading meaningless lives, they need God, and i want to be the one that brings them to Him.
but for now, i want to lead people. by end 2009 i want to be a CL for God, leading 10 people. yeah i wanna make it happen!
there are many other activities, but i can't share all 7 here, come to me and i'll tell you. but this 2 are my highlight activities.
this entire camp i got to talk to different ULs personally. it was really cool. i talked to nel, jen, ace, ritchie and pastor jasmine. i got to ask them about their lives, their past struggles, their turning points, and also questions in leading people better and how to have a more fruitful walk with God. its really very fruitful because i learn alot from these leaders. it was something i never got to do. i also interacted with people from different campuses, like people from ns, di, nyp, rp, sp, np. wow i love this camp alot.
this camp is really indescribable. the only sad thing was it ended too early. i wanted more, it wasn't enough. i love it. i love getting back with God, being reunited again with my Father in heaven. my problems and struggles were somewhat settled. now i'm back to the real world, its time to put everything i've learnt into action. i'm ready, bring it on! |
