My spiritual life was really dry the whole year. I was really encouraged when someone said it doesn’t have to be the end of the year when you connect to God but you can do it every single day. I have promised myself to connect to God every single day from now onwards. Besides that, we had fun doing the community projects. Just spreading joy and help to the kids made my day. Overall, this camp was good!

Dear God, I enjoyed my 5 days at camp. It was very fun. I enjoy every worship in the camp, you touch our hearts within us. I enjoy the games and the community service. I will never forget these 5 days.

At this camp, I have experienced many things. Among them is the sense of gratitude for things I have in my own home. I visited a drug rehab centre, where living conditions were not very good. This made me appreciate the things I have. Secondly, was the new understanding gained by the sharing during worship. I was told to release everything to God, not just my joy but sadness too. At the moment, the burdens came off and I felt a whole lot better. Lastly, the time is here for Get Real with God. I needed to grow spiritually if I wanted to be a useful person in God’s kingdom. This camp was great!! Service to the community is essential to gain a food hold in the community and blessing too.

It was very fun as I got to meet new people. When I came, I only knew 2 people, but I went back with a whole bus load of friends and more. The food was also very nice.

For me, my testimony would be a bit shorter as I came late, but nevertheless a testimony. My first impression of the camp was cool, it’s not everyday that I get to do community service. The church that we stayed in was nice and the people there were great. During one night’s worship, I felt that God wants us not to take this camp as any other ordinary once-in-a-year camp but a camp that is kind of a reminder that he wants us not to use camp to get closer (patch up) our relationship with God and to be close to God everyday.

I found the ‘Get Real’ session taken by Nick Hee to be the most impactful session throughout the camp. It’s a nice feeling to know that we CAN share openly with the people in church without the fear of being condemned or judged. Found that contrary to what I always believed, there ARE people whom I can trust, moreso that I am not alone in having the fears that I have. This session has helped me to be more empathetic towards others and being an open book will easily encourage others to get real too.
