A.R.M.Y Youth Camp 2010

Good day soldiers in Christ! Today, I'm going to talk about my experience in the A.R.M.Y Youth Camp 2010!

You see, everything first started when a leader in my church (Iris) came and asked if I could be the Camp Commandant for the Youth Camp. Obviously, I was inexperienced and was afraid to take up the responsibility! But after a few minutes, I decided to take up the challenge because God had planted a desire in my heart to lead the youth!

Hence, I formed a team of ordinary and inexperienced people (Aaron, Jane, Huey Wern, Emma, CJ, Alicea, Jarren, Benji, Jojo, Nicholas, Jeremy, Declan, Karina, Ian Lo, and the leaders of course) and started several meetings to plan for the camp. Of course, we had a few leaders guiding us, they were (Ivan Teoh), (Pastor Melissa Chan), (Iris Dang) and (Wong Yew San)! They were the backbone of the entire camp, they made sure everything went well! What about me? Well, as the camp commandant I had the final say in plenty of things, so it was pretty cool haha...

Moving on, after months of planning we finally reached the camp itself! 16th December 2010 - 19th December 2010 was the days of the year! It was what we've all been waiting for! I wasn't nervous somehow because I knew that God was guiding the entire camp! We had 51 campers and they all come from different backgrounds! I made many friends there, and was able to meet our amazing speakers (Brother Yoshua Chan & his fiancée) as well as (Brother Philip)! God used them to plant a desire in my heart! Everybody experienced God through worship, games and it was just great!

And guess what? I joined the S.A.S group of the Lord's army! What's an S.A.S? They are the people who are ready to follow God whenever He calls them! They are the people who are willing to go anywhere for the sake of Him! I joined the S.A.S group with (Huey Wern), (Huey Lin), (Jazmin) and (Aaron). They came up for the S.A.S call, and we were filled with Holy Spirit as we made the ultimate decision to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow God! On that same morning, there was a double rainbow in the sky! God was telling me that I will remember this day forever and ever! Well, I'm really excited on what He has in stored for me! I will never look back at my decision, but will look forward and count on His blessings and provision!

If there's one thing I learned from the camp, is that God is real and He keeps His promises forever and ever! It doesn't matter what you're going through, He knows all your desires and needs even before you ask Him! He's the guy that we can all count on, no matter what we go through in our lives! Our God is big, so strong, so mighty!

I'm glad God guided me as the Camp Commandant in this camp! Just want to encourage you who is reading this, that God can use you in the same way He used me too! You just gotta let Him :)
