Tears.

St John Island, likened to the wilderness, is where we held our bi-annual youth camp once again. Memories of the past camp swept past my mind as I step foot on the pier. I was then a team leader but this time i went to camp playing a total different role, or rather, many roles. :)

Many of us went in to SJI nearing 10am, was there to set up the logistics and games for the first afternoon- Chariots of Fire. The start of the camp! everyone came in ferry after ferry with their bags and lugguages, cheering for each other. There, we started our camp game! :D We briefed the people and we sounded off the whistle, boom, goes everyone. Chloe and I were running around the whole island to the different stations and we saw the people playing together as a tribe, together as one, we showed the station masters the different way in leading games and 2 hours was up. We concluded the game and there we prepared for the session.

Meanwhile, turning the focus to the basketball court, the media and service crew were busy preparing their euqipments, setting up the stage, piecing all the wood together, the sound, the lightings, the fans, the chairs etc. Muzos and Singers were rehearsing their praise and worship, the songs, and soundchecking the mics. Everyone was working.

Finally night came, we were so excited for a move of God. For the first time we had session in the open air, in the basketball court of SJI! From the flash mob dance, to the praise and worship to the testimonies, to the word. The presence of God was so strong and moved me deeply. Pastor laid hands for everyone and we were so hungry for God to move in our lives, we all wanted His anointing so badly, so desperately. Bam! Fell under the power, cried, and caught the holy ghost laughter. We were all sooooooooooooooooooo HIGH! it was literally like a CLUB! but a holy Club, the best club ever! ended off with sucha high note but we know the next day is gonna be even bigger and better!

Games comm were still packing the logistics for day 2 games in the mid of night 1am and still working.. :)

Morning the people had morning exercise and area cleaning, we were super tired and some of us were already burnt and tanned, but yet the atmosphere and spirits were high. We had a truly good time with Darryl and she shared about success and how we are never failures even if we may fail. I was truly blessed by the session and felt good on the inside of me. the confidence.

Day 2 game was named Ninja Warrior! as it seems, it is full of water games, soap, sand, mud, flour what not!! Chloe and I sounded off the siren and everyone was off to the different stations to compete against tribes and with whatever that is in everyone of them! I was leading in one of the station called fear not! and i witnessed how the people really cheered and played the game and got wet and dirty...Amazing!Then, there was a round up game, with all the houses playing against each other.. pastor even joined us together for a great time fo fun and excitement!!!!! We broke the ice of everyone and now they were super high!

Sun set, a team of us prepared the glam dinner for everyone, decorated the place with candles, ate western food, most amazing thing is I really felt good serving the people! Set your attention to the basketball court, whispers and hype, shouts..Pastor Kong and his team, Anabel, Pastor Jeremy, Jiahao,Raven was here at SJI!!!!! we all really cheered for him and welcomed the man of God!

Everyone was gathered and seated at the basketball court, wearing our bright camp tees and service started with the most eye-turning video! Awesome is the word! Praise and Worship started, dancers, muzos..300 youths praising God in the open air.The testimony of Eric and Yanping blew us away, truly God changes lives and transform the inner us! Pastor Kong went up and shared a short word coupled with his life stories and then, it was ministry time. The moment i stepped forward, when pst prayed for me, I couldn't get up. I was wailing, I was screaming!!!!! It was electrifying time, I got prayed for and felt a wave of deliverance and freedom. Sudden joy n happiness felt my heart, like what pastor mj told me, God did a spiritual operation on me.there and then, i felt so good. Never had i experienced this feeling before in my life, was my first time. I told myself, never will I forget this experience, this encounter with God. I saw the hunger in all of our members as they rushed to the front to receive touch from God and the desperation in our hearts that we really want the anointing in our lives, many were set free and experience the love of God and the power of God. All of us were crying, all of us had a visit from God. Amazing. By faith, we received something within our spirits.

Atmosphere was the purest! the desperation and hunger. Priceless.

Thank God for the mighty move!

We couldn't believe it that we are breaking camp so soon! Seems like we didnt had enough..gave many prizes to the different tribes and houses and affirm the different groups of people who have made the camp a success and possible. Soon after, we were all on the ferry and bidding goodbye to SJI!

Although we left SJI with unwillingness, but the greatest thing is God left something within our spirits and this we will bring back to our campuses and marketplace, making a difference! Thank You Jesus!

Best camp ever yet for MJ zone! family is what we are. thank you to all leaders and crew whom had worked so hard, all the sleepless nights were so worthed it! :) <3
