back to my familiar place.
a great wonderful fruitful memorable happy refreshing faith-stimulating touched thailand church camp!
Khon Kean UNiversity
the site of church camp.
was i in olympics?
no, its our very own Hope Games.
presentation and performances and everything done and prepared by the sweet thai sis/bro.
what a serving and same unity in them!
and Pastor carried torch and light up to signify the start of Hope games ( competition among the mid-size groups in church) wow! FIRWORKS?!! hm, was i in olympics? its so amazing!
my first experience in overseas camp with Hope people.
different nationalities, yet the same God. the same Spirit. the same name that we all proudly hold : Hope church.
met Pastor magarita-the pastor in sarawak-Iban who hosted us when i was in this mission trip some 2 years back.
met with thai sister who remembered my name when i only met up with her a few hrs in spore.
met Msia pastor and sister/brothers. Young engergetic people.
met thai sis/bro who played games with us and language was not the barrier anymore. the games bonded us together! playing ice and water guns under the hot blazing thailand sun.
was pampered with VIPs' stlye of welcoming. they adorned us flowers as they lined in two rows to welcome us. Fetched us with unbrellas when we had to walk a distance from bus to the camp site. what a heart to serve people, i got a lot to learn from them!
Love the praise and worship! everyone free to express their joy and galdness in praise and worship.
at times they sang only thai words, there's no english words translating. however, i learned what it really means to worship God.
it matters not what is the outside ( language), it matters in the heart of worship.
Truly to worship God, is to know who He Is and to thank him and honor His character.
remembered a thai brother who said this:( i was asking him what made him believed in God)
i searched for answer.
i found it's harder to deny His existence than to believe that He is. so i chose to believe.
my faith is growing to be more than 50% now since the last time i search for Him.
i was touched by his geunine faith towards God.
a faith that tells a relationship with God, not a religion with Him.
He decided to put his trust in God, tho he may not able to understand everything at tt moment.
Becoz i also came to understand it's impossible to know everything abt Him.
i am still learning and getting to know Him more each day....
i saw many many people at the camp.
God, if U are not real, arent there so many fools around?i am included. but becoz U proved Yourself as what U claimed to be, there is always people wanting to put their lives in Your hands. this itself touched me coz i saw You in their lives.
i saw miracles. people on crutches, whell chairs, standing and walking up and around....
nothing beats seeing it.
i heard enough from people/ from books....
but i SEE it! the powerthat God displayed! amazing! :)
Begin to appreciate this family more.
HOPE family.
whther, europe, Hong Kong, thailand, Msia, canada, Africa, spore etc....
we have the same name; Hope.
only one life , live it to the fullest!
Know who i am living for! otherwise, i lived for nothing.
Thank You God.
For loving me, a child.
