easter camp

lik wat i hv promised....EASTER CAMP!!! lol..
easter camp was alot of fun.. i met alot of ppl and made a huge bunch of frens..anyway, apart from that...wat i realli wanted to highlight bout this camp are the speakers..but, let me juz start wit a brief intro to the camp lar..haha

it was a 3 days 2 nites camp..lol 14-16 of april..
u noe, normal camp rountine...games...sessions...makan time...sleep... the typical stuff lar..lol
but wat is so special bout this camp was actually the speakers!! we had 5 speakers all together...2 workin as a couple..lol

so the first nite's session was ps. Harold chahal aka the singing pastor...ps. harold is a very unique pastor whereby he preaches thru his songs glorifying GOD..and boy believe me!!! his voice is lik......"BOOM!!!"
anyway, we learned a few rnb songs from him^^ its something lik this..

"aint no party lik a holy ghost party coz a holy ghost party don stop"
"lean back~"
"lean back~"
"go jesus go jesus go"

anyway,its not the song tht captivated me...but its god's doins...before the camp, i received msgs from alphonsus, askin to start prayin for god to reveal something to us in the camp and what to expect...
to be honest, at first i din realli noe wat to expect..to my thinkin, this would be juz lik any other camp...similar to those tht we hv in yc..yet, i was wrong...
all this while, i hv been struggling at times wit my inner self...coz i noe i was nvr a goody two shoe christian and i sometimes do doubt tht y such an unholy person lik me is doin in a church...y am i a christian??
so during worship, i juz dunno y i hd this urge of realli praying hard to GOD, tellin him to reveal some answers to me..as i was worshipping god, i was prayin so hard..pressing on for some ans from god..and god has realli been amazing..coz as ps harold started his sermon, he talked bout this issue..unworthyness...he spoke of "nvr think to ureself tht u are unholy n unworthy to be a christian for christ has redeemed u from ure sins and he loves u..." i was strucked immediately by wat ps. harold said and a moment of shock juz linger in the air as i was thinkin to myself how can this be possible as i juz prayed to god bout this n god juz answered my prayer rite in front of my eyes!!!
afterwards, ps harold did an alter call and was praying for some ppl...i went up and when ps harold prayed for me,tears juz started flowin down from my cheeks..i literally was cryin lik a baby!! i felt god's presence lik i nvr felt before and it was such a relieve as the burden in my heart has realli been weighin me down..as i rmb someone once said, seeing is not believing, but believin is seeing..at tht point, i felt god's love is juz running thru all over my body..my heart was filled wit his love...so much so tht its bursting out of me!!

after tht, the next morning...we had another session...this time is tim bergman...he is a missionary from the US and he has been in zion for 3 years..wat struck me the most from his sermon was the video tht tim showed us..its a true story from aus...before the video started, tim told us a story...a story of a father and his son...
one day, a son asked his father...dad,will u run a marathon race wit me??
the father said, of coz son!
after finishin the first marathon race, the son got realli excited and as another marathon race comes around, the son asked the father once again, dad, will u run a marathon race wit me?
and yet again the father said yes..
after 2 to 3 races, then one fine day, the son asked the father..dad, will u join me in the ironman competition..(ironman competition requires the participants to run a certain distance, swim a certain distance and cycle a certain distance in order to complete the race)
once again, the father said yes my son...and then tim showed us a video whereby the father, hu is already in his 60s..pushing his son in a wheelchair in running the ironman race, as his son is diagnosed wit a muscle disease whereby he cant even walk or move!
the father did not juz give up den, the father after that swam accross a distance wit one hand paddling and the other hand pullin his son on a float. after they finished swimmin, the father carried his son on his arms and went on cyclin...in the end, the father carried the son and ran across the finishing line whereby the father hu is already very exhausted celebrates with the son after completing the race...
from this video, the father's love for the son is so great tht he would go thru all this for his son...to me,its lik god's love...if an earthly father can do this,wat more is my heavenly father..at tht time,i was shocked again coz god has reassured me of his love...i was so amazed by god...realli!!!!

this is the link to tht video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0daeU7Sd9c

after that, we hv the couple pastor talkin bout bgr..lol boy gal relationship..hehehe
tht is cool...pretty fnny n educational..but too short of a session..onli ten mins..

after tht, at nite we hv tony anthony...taming the tiger...tony spoke about spreading the gospel and how important is tht to a christian...tht realli hit me right on the face....lik a tight slap to myself..some find it very hardcore bu den i find it pretty good...

after tht, we had mega praise...lol but overall...this camp is uber awesome....beyond awesomeness!!
kudos to the organisers!!!

ohyeah...did i mention bout the huge amount of millipedes at the campsite?some even are on our bed!!!! hahahhahahah
