On the way to lumut, we played mafia just as usual. We argued, trying to deceive one another (because this is what the game is all about) and laughed like nobody's business :D.Arrived at lumut, perak in the afternoon. Had our lunch in KFC. The 1st thing we had was station game. We were divided into 5 groups n they are kalansanan, kalangadan, guminawo, peneka and ingin. These are names which means "desire" in different dialects. N i'm in peneka! Btw we won the 2nd prize :D After wash up, we had our very 1st session with Pr.Bobby from SIB Likas.

We had great time cheering, laughing and winning! oh yeah! Peneka Rocks! :) After dinner, we had our 3rd session with Pr.Bobby. And praise God there were 4 salvations!!!! :D WOOHOO!!

Third day of camp. We had morning prayer as usual. We then had the 4th session with Pr. Bobby. He preached about "loving one another". And his question is this, "Are you a convert or a disciple?". Followers of christ are the ones who achieves to the teaching of Jesus. Pr.Bobby shared about his testimony. He was once a gangster, took drugs, smoke and a pornography suppplier. But now, God has changed his completely, used him for God's glory. I'm so amazed :) Many times when we said "I'm just bla bla bla....I can't..." God wants to use these people because God uses the weak to lead the strong. After that, we had workshop about grooming and health.Oh my, this was the funniest thing ever! We were supposed to come out with our own comments on what to wear during certain occasions and then we also had to state down what we dislike about guys' dressing. All of us keep complaining about the opposite gender's dressing and it was just so funny. :D At night, we had the last session with Pr.Susan.. She shared on a very basic yet important topic that is "Knowing God". Some of us know God through head knowledge and through our emotional experience. But not many of us, know God completely. Knowing God involves adjustment in our lives, change in our character, be more like Him. Knowing God will allow God to take control completely, giving up our own desires. Because we know that God purposes for us is beyond what we can ever imagine. Pr.Susan ended her session by calling for an altar call. I bowed my head and closed my eyes, focusing on God. Suddenly Wai wai put her hand on my shoulder and I turned to her. Sarah was standing beside Yi Lin and she said, "I asked Yi lin whether she's ready to accept Christ into her life, and she said yes." When I heard this, tears kept rolling down from my eyes and I was so happy. I really don't know how to describe my feelings but I just want to praise God! I'm so happy for you, Wong Yi Lin!!! :D Presence of God was just so amazing!
Yi Lin's salvation reminded me about the power of prayer! Many times when you think God isn't listening, He is! When you think God is far away from you, He is just right beside you without you realising it! When you think that it's hard to preach the gospel, God moves! When you cry, every tear that you drop is so precious to God! God is just so amazing!! My family may not understand why am I serving this God called Jesus, but I know and I believe that at just the right time, all my family will be saved. Because with God, nothing is IMPOSSIBLE.

Back to penang. I'm very thankful that I've signed up for this camp :)
"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek :
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple."
Psalm 27:4
