Wednesday, December 10
Hey Everyone!! Sorry for not posting for so long! Because I wish to leave a posting that would only encourages others and build each and everyone of u who had read my post and going to read my posting!! After going thru 2months plus of planning for our BPYM very own Seeker Friendly Camp: GAM-PONG! It was finally commence on the 5th December! It was a great FUN CAMP!
Day1: God Calling His Servants/ God’s PLAN for His people.
We went thru the first day with strings of Ice Breaking Game! After we had our dinner and think of group cheers in the evening! Then we went into worship to prepare ourselves for the GBO (GAM-PONG BOX OFFICE). We watched Evan Almighty! I believe for most of you had watched this show, for Christian this is things that I had learn while watching this Movie. But 1st I would like to say this is really a great show if some of you had not watched it yet. Even as I watch this Movie God make use of it to speaks to me… We as Christians always for God for things we want. (E.g. Parents to be more understanding towards us, Getting of good result for our Major Exams, Having a good relationship with Him) But often when we don’t get what we want after praying we would be asking God: Why You doesn’t give me what I asked for. Often we complain but never we realize that God has been providing Opportunities for us to get what we asked/prayed for. God doesn’t give what we ask for directly, but he provides opportunities for us to achieve what we ask for! In the Evan Almighty, God ask the wife of Evan, When u asked for a closer relationship with the FAMILY do you think God will gives you what you want or does God creates opportunity for you to achieve what you asked for.
Day 2: Seek and Find!
As we come into the second day of the camp we went thru activities like Capture the Flag, Team Jump, Dog & Bone Captain’s ball, Battleships, Lazy Volleyball, Heroes, Chaotic Captain’s Ball, and DOTS (Defend Of The Soldiers). We had Fun! But the important part came at night when we went thru the experiential activities planned by Kelvin and Zhe Hao. We played a game, named: Win as much from the Banker as possible. But during the game we often win and lose money to each other Groups. As the game was being round up I actually learnt that we always has been seeking God for all the things that we want, and while doing that I was always lost focus of what God wants me to do. Just like the game that was named: Win as much from the BANKER as possible. The objective is to win money from the banker but due to our selfishness we wants to cause other group to lose that’s why we often tries to win money from other groups! Same in life there is things that God wants us to do but often due to our selfishness we lost focus of what God wants us. Now it causes me ponder on “Is God more IMPORTANT than any other things in our life?”
Day 3: God WORKING in His Servants!
Now coming into our day at the beach. It’s started off quite well, we went to the beach for our games. Starting off with passing the bomb bags then after that game we went into a time of building sand castle. Then went for lunch after lunch we starts off with holey pipe game, at that point of time is where I lost my temper due to some reasons. But as I goes on I realize what I had learnt for the first day as I had ask God for patience to handle a particular person in my group, God did gave me opportunity to be patience towards that person but I didn’t seize the opportunity to get what I asked God for. As I didn’t give God the chance to mould me even thru this situation. Things in life that we often had done it wrong, do we ask God to help us and direct us back to His plan? A quote from the day devotion: Be patient God is not finished with any of us yet! Thru out the camp I face troubles, pressure, tired, and stress. But I thank God that he had gave me strength and encouragement from my group, as each day goes by they are more and more bonded together as a group!
Something that I felt really encouraged is Chrisll! She as an AGL helped me a lot with handling of QAHAL (my group name) and leading them in discussion question and stepping out of her comfort zone to do crowd control. She is a wonderful assistant to me! Also not to forget Daniel & Schubert! They helped me and Chrisll out in control and for Schubert he really helped my out with handling of his cousin. I felt really encouraged to see these people who used to be a back stage people came to step out of their comfort zone to serve others!
Not forgetting my beloved GAM-PONG committee! They are Kelvin, Zhe Hao, Jasper, Arnold, Wei yang, Gerald, Lois, Amelia, Alyson and Shuyi! Working with them together a committee I felt really honored. Hahaz!! Because they are really fun to work with and especially during the retreat we had lots of Fun! I believe God has bonded us well as a group QAHAL and also as a GAM-PONG committee!!
This camp is officially ended on Monday! Life is more than just Fun and Games! It’s about putting God into every detail of our lives! In everything we do, is God able to be glorified thru it?!
I sincerely thank God for all those friends that I had encountered with! God place you in my life to make a difference, and you guys had did it! I loves you all my friends!!
