The theme for this year's children camp was FAITH.. pastor asked us during the briefing on thursday how we intended to grow their faith.. he said, u must impart it throughout the whole camp, in every action, in every word, in every activity, not just as part of the game.. and i must say, God really worked throughout the camp... This year's children camp was very different from the previous year's.. Last yr was more of fun, but this year, really, Faith is evidently shown throughout the whole camp... it was so so amazing!

haha, guess how many children were at the camp?? haha... exactly 12 of them!!! hahaha... pastor william was saying, it's by no coincidence that it's 12... through this camp, as we take care of them, it's just like taking care of our 12, teaching each of them faith.. he asked us to believe that after the camp, every one of the children will be totally changed...

haha... pastor willliam said on thurs, he thinks it will rain during the camp.... boy was he righT! when we woke on friday morning, it was raining so so heavily!! BUT the rain stopped when the children came! haa... how great is our God! then.. on the way to sentosa... it started drizzling... and ade's group started cheering " no, no, no no no, it will not rain, HAVE FAITH!" hahha.... and all we had @ sentosa was a very slight drizzle that made it so cooling... haha... AMEN!

But of course, the most amazing one was on saturday @ east coast... Just after pitching our tents, it started pouring.. (haa, God waited for us to pitch our tents!!!) and so, a few hundred pple (from all the different camps and tribes) had to look for shelter.... and how The LORD provides! Because there was a carnival on sunday, there was a huge tentage just behind our campsite... which was able to accomodate all of us!! and no, we didn't even need to squeeze! There we were, a few hundred under the huge tentage, sitting in circles playing games as it rained! wow.... thank God for the free tentage!! HoW GrEaT iS OuR GoD!!

"If the LORD gave us fine weather, we will forget Him... so He gave us a StOrM, yet He provided us with ShELtER.. " - Pastor William

God is so amazing!

The children played amazing race there, and the last station was to find Wally ( William), who supposedly lost his faith and was dejectedly roaming sentosa beach... they had to convince him to find back his faith.... and WOW... it was really amazing listening to the children trying to convince him.... it was simply testimonies after testimonies shared of the LoRd's goodness! they shared about the rain, about how they won, about their group.... and they shared it so enthusiastically cuz it was part of the game!! haha... as i listened, i was just amazed...

and the most amazing part.... william asked 2 grps to go find a bible for him... at sentosa beach??? when it was drizzling?? who will have a bible there rite?? haha... BOTH groups found it... one group went to the hotel to get it! and the other group... they were amazing... for no reason, they walked into this restaurant, and there was one lady praying, with a bible on the table!!!!! hahaha.... so amazing right! u should have seen the expression on their faces when they ran back with the bible.... it was WOW.... haa.... God is GOOD!


God really worked throughout the camp.... I would say that the camp was a great success because the children defintely grew in faith and enjoyed themselves too! Joanna and William really complemented each other, working so well as the prog coordinators!! Most importantly, God was definitely over-seeing our camp.... Praise Him!
