Kepong Wesley Church CAMP!!!!

hey, how are you guys doing?It's Jonathan here! Long time no see. Anyway, great blogsite you all have here. Thumbs up to y'all!
So, my church which is your sister church also (heheh) just had our church camp in Melaka. Well..overall it was a enjoyable camp. We learned a lot about God and what He wants us to be like-more like Jesus of course.The first day for me was tiring. Mainly because of the long journey. We reached Melaka during the afternoon and I had lunch with Pastor Yew and his family. Heheh...first time Pastor Yew belanja me lunch. And when dinner came, there was a power failure. Actually we were all disappointed because most of the activity had to be cancelled. So, that left a lot of us roaming around the streets of Melaka Town. Thank God we found a cafe there...so me, leslie and da rong spent the night (not sleeping there) until power was restored to the hotel.

Hm... second day was kinda fun.LOL. Mostly because it was my birthday (shh!) and i wanted to keep it on low profile. So i didn't say much about it. But what made me smile was my frens actually remembered my birthday. Haha. And some smart fella came out with the idea of putting a white candle ( funeral colour) on a pizza as my birthday cake. Haha.Thanks guys. Then, at night the Lord gave me his birthday gift. I was being prayed over by our guest speaker Pastor Lim and *poof* i was slain in the Holy Spirit. And God gave me the gift of speaking in tongues. That was God's special gift for me on my birthday. On the floor where i was laying, i was communicating with the Father -spirit to spirit. Amen to that!!! Thanks Lord!

Then, the third day was about weird for me. I believe I've seen God's work among us especially the youths. I said 'weird' and it doesn't mean that something really weird happened. What i mean was...' a lot of emotional ' stuff happened. The youth ( and the music team as well) got the chance to get together. And somehow, from what started out as a casual meeting, it turned into an emotion outburst. Everyone was expressing their opinions ( good and bad) and how they were not satisfied with certain things and certain ppl. The atmosphere was tense. Seriously. But I believe God allowed this to happen because He wants us to move into higher ground for His works. In order for us to do that, we must indeed let go of whatever that is holding us back (in this case is the dissatisfaction or some sort with things) and settle the score once and for all. That night, everything was made clear. But of course, I do not wish to say what was actually discussed that night. All i can say is it's not too pleasant to the ear. But now, we have a different mindset now after that night and we pray to God to help us get through with it. Amen.

The fourth day was quite relaxing actually because it was our final day and we were leaving for KL by noon. So, we had a final praise and worship and said our goodbyes after lunch. My journey home was a long one. Long not because of the time nor distance.But long for the many thoughts that were running through my mind throught the journey. This camp was enjoyable.We all would agree. However, this camp left a certain tingling feeling in me (and others i guess) that God hasn't given up on us yet-no matter how imperfect we all are. And I believe more is going to happen.For good or bad? I seriously don't know. But i pray and trust in the Lord, my Shepherd.
