I was told that i am going to be a leader just one week before the camp.
Surprising but true. i was taken aback.
Firstly, i just came back from step out camp not long ago, was physically drained.
Secondly, i wanted to go for hunger camp as a member to receive rather than give.
thirdly, i had to prepare devotions during the Christmas week which was already super packed!
I felt very inadequate and stressed! i mean, i needed time to reflect and prepare myself spiritually too!
the day before the camp, i stayed at sal's place to discuss the devo and activities.
the devo no model ans one hor! hahah!
and it was slightly deep, esp since my members are only 15-16.
Honestly, i was grumbling a lot before the camp, i asked God why me?!
But i really wanna thank God, during the camp i learnt a lot from my members.
They were so open, transparent, and willing to learn more abt God.
It was so easy sharing with them.i was really amazed.
There was once, my member, joleen prayed for me.
She thank God for using me to bless them.
i almost teared.
my member praying for me. i was very touched.
And the boys and girls hit it off very well.
no gender discrimination, haha! woodlands mixed with tamp very well too!
The last night of the camp, the whole group didn't want to sleep!
and they didnt! we played games in a tv lounge, laughed every 5 mins.
i am not being sarcastic here. We just kept laughing.
THE JOY of the lord! haha
Before we set off, i told me members to pray for each other. just walk around and pray for each other.
:)
it was a moving sight for me.
i truly hope they will bring back everything they've learnt: devo, work shops, sermon. back with them!
Thank you Jesus for giving me such an opportunity to work with these amazing lighters.
And for working thr me and in me during the camp!
:) it has been a privilege
