This is the
story of my PKA GG Family camp in Stella Maris from 1st March to 3rd
March.
Around
4.30pm, everyone needs to gather at RST guard house. Around 4.50pm, the bus
arrived and picked us up, then we started our bus journey to Tanjung Bunga.
5.20pm, we reached there, Stella Maris, a tall building with a huge area too.
Looks BIG wor ~ |
Dinner
time, the food looks awesome. I ate 2 drumsticks, but I saw Derek Ooi ate more
than 2, maybe 3-5? After dinner, we started our first section is “high” praise
and worship. Cool man, we sang a lot of songs, we used our voices, shouted to the
Lord. Before we start our “word”, we reflect what we did in the past semester,
how I overcome my difficulties, what I like to thank God for. After this, our
group gather together and discuss about our Cheers. I’m glad I’m in “Chevy”
group, and our cheers is so simple, we just say “ARE YOU READY, “CHENVY!” YES…
Around 11pm, everyone is “forced” to go back to our room to rest. But, I know
that I sure won’t sleep so early. I went in to Derek’s room and pillow chat
with them, which are Derek, Daniel Lim and Daniel Teoh. The Daniel Teoh is
funny and shared a lot of stories to us. His mind are matured enough, maybe
because he studying law. I still remember 1 phrase he had mention to us, we all
laugh until wants to DIE, especially Derek. This phrase are:
“Older man
is just like Vine, older woman is just like milk.” Vine will last long, while
milk doesn’t.
The next
morning, we have to wake up early at 6.30pm, we started our first activity is
call “prayer station”. There a total 5 stations, “prayer for CF; prayer for
family members; prayer for thanksgiving; prayer for myself and prayer for
others” respectively. I experience a very nice moment with God on that moment,
I feel God wants me to do something through him. Next, we do morning devotion
together in group. Around 8.30am, we have our Roti Canai as breakfast. At
first, I thought I only can eat 1 piece of Roti Canai, manatao… I ate 3… After
breakfast, I tried to play this instrument that I wish to play long time ago –
Cajon.
AWESOME nice ! I can play liao !!! |
YEAH! It’s
AWESOME fun! I wish I could play this during P&W session.
Next, our
first “word” session by Mr.Goh – Christian life-Living it out. I can’t expect
that this Mr.Goh, our beloved invited speaker is already a 66 years old old
man. Wow, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC, AWESOME, an old man still doing youth
ministry. I feel bless by him, because I saw his energetic, the passion of
serving the youths. The first word that he touched me is, “your quite time
should not be awake by alarm.” It means I have must the initiative to seek God,
to be quite alone for some time. Not by the external conditions that make me
remember to seek God, I must trained to be more disciplines to build
relationship with God through his word. In order to release the light of
Christ, we need to be good student of God’s word. If not, don’t talk about
worship, don’t talk about serving, don’t talk about sharing the Gospel.
Session 2
of word – Christian as a community. As a Christian, we need to know how to care
our friends around us. We live as a community, we need to love each and other,
just like what did the Bible says so.
During the sharing session, I share my first impression in PKA. It is so
comfortable to stay at PKA to learn God’s word, build relationship among us,
and share love to public, especially “Bless Campus”. It is an awesome
experience that I learn a lot there, and share God’s love there.
Around
2.30pm, everyone were excited with the games session. LOLX… I still remember
got 1 games conducted by Tze Shaun, the cans and the spaghetti. That time, my
partner, Rowena and I need to use a spaghetti stick to carry up a can, and then
walk for a certain distance. In order to let me focus, avoid laugh, so I closed
my eyes. MANATAO, Tze Shaun still laughed at me, because my weird and stupid
action are annoying, and the funny thing is I walked to the wrong direction. After
games, we enjoy playing captain ball. YEAH…
BEACH time ~ :P |
Don’t know
why, camp comes to an end, the dinner is always the best meal. Delicious…
The first
time I’m the backup singer for the P&W, thanks to Debra inviting me.
Session 3
of word – Deal with it, enjoy Jesus Christ. Here, I can see his passion towards
Jesus Christ, his life experience God and keep telling us how he encounter God.
So, I must learn from him, always have passion in Jesus Christ, love him just
like u love you lovers. J
After that,
I spend a little time to write some encouragement words to my fellow PKA
members. It seems I wrote a lot and thanks them for being part of my university
life. During the late night, we spend time together chatting, playing card
games, and most memorable is to do MUS together. MUS stand for “moral uplifting
society”. Here we share positive things to each and other. When it’s me, I
received a lot of people say I’m an outgoing, involved, fun, easy going people.
Hmm… Looks like I’m the person who can easily interact with each and other, is
a good follow-uper. Thanks to them. J
What they wrote for me, and I wrote for them. |
So memorable ... |
The next
day, early in the morning, I woke up for the prayer meeting, after that, I went
back to sleep and I skipped the morning devotion. Opps… During P&W,
Benedict is a very good song leader, he lead us dance some simple moves, very
easy and interesting. I enjoyed a lot, I hope one day I will be on the stage,
lead them dancing to praise lord. Later on, our last word from Mr.Goh – Being salmon.
Here, he reminds me the importance of being a salmon, to share the Gospel.
Times flies
very fast, we took a lot of group pictures and someone just said that our
T-shirt looks like Football team when we took the group pictures. AWESOME…
CHEVY group ! |
First year student ~ YEAH ... |
In sum, I
experience a lot and know a lot of new friends there. I also learn a simple
thanksgiving prayer for food, thanks to Nicolas. The prayer is:
“Whatever u
call, I follow, whatever u eat I swallow, whatever u meet I fellow, in Jesus
name, Amen.”
Enjoyed la…
The most important thing is, this camp help me to reflect myself in the past
semester, and start our journey again with God all the time during my this new
semester. I miss CAMP so much … J
