For His Kingdom...
Our God is always faithful, and His mercy towards us are everlasting. He is good,and provide us with more than what we would deserved.
It's my first Kids' Camp as Kids Pastor, and seriously it's very daunting and stressful, as all eyes are on you (well, at least i felt that way). Nights leading up to camp, was very restless, and very little sleep, as you keep running through the things to do in your head. That was just tip of the icing, there were many countless stressful moments that especially Quentin had to out up with =)"Thanks Sayang for being so understanding and putting up with me" Anyway, i learned that God has His own plans, and so it is in this instance.
Out of the many activities that were planned, we barely did any of them, as the kids spent more time with God, at P+W, with friends,and the leaders. Funny tho, the kids and leaders seemed to think that it is one of the best camp =)
There were many countless prayers and fast that went into praying for souls at this camp, and out of the 30 kids that were there, we saw 8 kids gave their lives to God, and many committed to spread the Gospel far and wide. Let the praise and glory be to God. At praise and worship sessions, we also saw kids with hard hearts, broke down on their knees and crying out to God, proclaiming that they will lay down their lives, for the cause of Christ. It gotta be God, as His presence dwelt within the tent and in the hearts of the kids. Many of the leaders were also overwhelmed as they see what God is doing, and it also caused their growth in Jesus grow stronger and bigger.
At this camp, I was also surrounded by the finest of God's army, dedicated, determined, and humble; And that had enabled the Holy Spirit to breath new power and authority into the tent.
I'm totally in awe of the great people that I'm surrounded with, and am abled to do God's work with.
To read more about camp, you'll probably find more from blog by other leaders =)
May we always remember God's wondrous glory and His touch in this camp, and the kids' lives. For His kingdom, we serve; For His Kingdom, we will stand.
