Testimonies to our Great God!

Wednesday, 6th June 2007

Today was the 4th (and final) day of the camp. Choon Seng, our Camp Commandant asked who wanted the camp to go on, and quite a number of us raised our hands. We could not get enough of the LORD.

I have a confession to make. When I found out that we could not get Pastor Benny Ho to be our speaker at the camp, I was initially rather disappointed. But praise be to God because Rev Peter Koh and his wife Jenny did an excellent and marvelous job as keynote speakers! In fact, the fact that everything was run "in-house" and not by "outsiders", so to speak, gave the camp a homely feeling, and underlined the theme that our church was one big family.

During the time of corporate sharing and edification, there was a testimony about how our PIC showed his shepherd's heart once again. When he heard that one of the church members had some car trouble, he left the comfort of his hotel room to attend to the matter.

There were also testimony after testimony about how God was moving in our midst, and taking our church to another level of spiritual maturity. For example, one sister shared about how the hotel staff had commented about how organised and well-behaved we were as guests. Another brother shared about how patient everyone was, despite some hiccups regarding rooming on the first night. Yet another shared about how his clan members showed more concern for his son than about the telematch game they were participating in.

Just like what the theme song mentioned, God is indeed a great God! Amen?

It was with a tinge of sadness that the camp had to come to an end, but everyone took away with him pleasant memories of community life in the body of Christ.

I'm already looking forward to the next camp in 2009 and my sincere prayer is that those who could not make it this time around will be able to do so the next.
