POWERHOUSE CAMP!!!!

it was a straight 3 day of beautiful weather in Bongawan Resort!!
Praise God!
the camp was GREAT!!

57 young souls was gathered for this camp.
A lot of young ones!!!
Praise God!!!

the camp had a great intensity of word, very in-depth....solid FOOD!!
the right stuff at the right time!
was praying before the camp and was praying for a camp this time round that would serve some REAL spiritual food, something solid, no more those "bonding -bonding" camps...its time to get serious!!!
and PRaise God, it happened this time!
GOD's presence was really strong throughout this camp, even in the worship.
awesome time of just feeding!

was helping around in the camp as an advisor!!
hahah, felt really old about being an advisor!!...hahah, but it didnt felt that bad after all...
hahah, the guys treated me just the same as before...
hahah, but there was time when we (the advisors together with Bob, Susan, u.michael, a.Elizabeth (hahah..no mistakes this time), u.andy & A. mary) were praying for the camp, and seeking God for His direction, and even praying for these youths!!
it really did touched me!, being there myself in this situation, reminded me that when i was then, someone else was praying for me! someone else was pleading to God on my behalf, someone else was concern and CARED bout my salvation, SOMEONE ELSE LOVED me!!!
and that was just amazing!

and in my heart i wanna be that SOMEBODY, who impacts ppls lives!
it is because of someone else's invested thier lives on mine, that i am who i am today!
and nothing beats impacting lives for JESUS CHRIST!!!

many young ones were in this camp, pre-teens!
was a bit worried that they might be easily distracted , hahah , was also thinking that some of the older ones would just start forming groups of thier own.
haha, praise God.
the age gap groupings didnt really occur. Of course, naturally gettin together was just "unnatural"

but i noticed that the leaders, handled the situation very well!
great job guys!
noticed some of the guys really matured themselves!
Ying really gave me loads of encouragement, seeing her wanting to serve, her passion, she grew!
Gabe, ever postive, ever encouraging. Praie God.
Daniel Yap, the fervent heart of servanthood!
Shen, awesome leadership by example!
Justin, Daniel CHOW, Belinda, Peng!!!
younger ones such as lil Jessica Chen, Ah boy, Matthew Lok, Daniel chen, Andrew Dillon, Aaron Heng!!!
you guys have been a real encouragement!
KEEP GROWING IN HIM!!!

during free time, you could see AH boy playing football with high school mates, daniel chen was joinging, with the college students, and also the young adults!
in the pool, high school peeps were bonding very well with the pree teens peeps! hahah...lil clement joinging in the fun!!
and young adults such as queenie, finding no problem with her younger roomates!!
wow! that's just amazing! Praise God for that!
SIB Likas A TRULLY FAMILY CHURCH!!!

learnt a lot in this camp. could feel and knw that God is really doing something!!
hahah...so excited!!!!
and the "hunger" is just sooo strong!!!

ppl, do pray for powerhouse, especially the young ones, that they woudl continue to seek for God, for that great adventure, for that intimate relationship, for knwing HIM personally, as the truest friend, and savior.
thanks!

Great job Bob and susan!!
...its just the beginning!!!.....
as i always remind myself and others,

"Its not how good we start the race that matters, its how well we END it that counts!...lets end it in style!"

God bless
