What the world will NEVER Take

Ahh...that sweet sense of camps. Clouds my memories! Shuush!! Just listen to the shouts of praise, and then cry of the heart...How great is our God, sing with me how great is our God.

Truly God is great, His presence was so strong and clear for the 5 days of the camp! Swamping in was about 120 campers and 20 odd helpers! Off we departed from our respective churches and down the way to Kuala Kubu Bharu, Kem Bina Semangat. Don't think I'll babble about the minuet details. Tho, i've somethings to share here...

Throughout the 5 days in camp, God was at worked. As a matter of a fact, God begun His work I believe even before the camp started, the first nite of plenary session was just mind blowing. We saw God's hand moving so mightily people just swamped up to the front of the hall as the altar call was made, and the presence of God just fell on many of them as they were prayed for. This went on for the next 5 days. I've seen people just fall one by one as they were prayed for but i've never seen 4 fall at once in the presence of His majesty!! What a site, Praise God.

Lets look at some pictures before i continue with my own testimony....

My Testimony.

(Backtrack) When i was at the age of 14, i had a calling from God to go full-time ministry for Him. With that calling , i carried it with me through my teen-years as i grow older, that desire seems so sure for me that every other career paths seems unappealing to me. I was so sure that i was going to go to a bible college after my SPM. But just when I thought that everything was planned out well, God said "wait...you're not ready". SO here i was at the verdict of my life, ready to choose the career that I've always wanted, and God said i have to wait. I begun to seek God, and ask for His guidance and trusted in Him. It was during National service that i found out what God wanted me to do first, culinary arts. Tho i have always ponder how in the world would culinary arts and ministry work can co-exists, i decided to trust in God for this.

A night before YLDP. I received a call from Herbie, asking me if i would agree on being a nominee for the presidential post of the national trac myf. I was taken aback! It came as a surprise which i had not prepared myself for!! From that night i was asking God for sights and sights to confirm if this was what He really wants me to do. All the signs He gave before the AGM on saturday morning showed me to the right direction which is to take up the challenge, and so i went ahead and gave herbie my permission to be a nominee. Friday night approached and i was still having doubts about all this presidential stuff, so i told God one last time. "if you want me to REALLY take this up, show me something, speak to me!" Well, i learn something beautiful, that God is superbly patient. He was more than willing to give me His answer. That friday nite, an altar call was made for those who have the calling to go full-time, and i knew that moment, as my spirit acknowledge God's.

I am Honoured to elected as the president, and am looking forward to an exciting year ahead. Tho i am afraid for i have never held such a big post. But i wanna believe in God to show me the way, to keep me humble. I thank Him for a team that i believe is strong and is God fearing! Lawrence Chin, Ruth Wong(1st vice-president, 2nd vice-president), Samantha Tan(secretary), Chris Sam(Treasurer).

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
