Our Prayer

Dear Lord Jesus,
we would like to commit this year's
youth camp into Your hands.

Help the youth camp committee
to work together to plan for a successful youth camp.
We ask that You grant
the committee strength and wisdom,
so that everything we plan will go on smoothly.

Lord, pour Your anointing upon our camp speaker,
Pastor Terry Appel, that You will use him
to share Your word to all the campers.
We pray for a word in season during this camp,
that different lives will be changed,
and that this camp will be a significant one to everyone.

We pray that You will make everything possible
and bless the young people who come.
Let it be a great time for us to meet people
who have different stories and backgrounds.
Help us to encourage one another,
pray together and worship You together,
and have an awesome time together.
May Your name be glorified,
Amen!

Preview!

Lights...

Camera..

Action!!

Youth Camp is just another 4 months!

So, why not a sneak peek to what we can expect our physical environment will be like.

On the morning of 26th of July, we, the committee members, left for Port Dickson, where our campsite will be at.

After a few wrong turnings...

"We men don't need maps. I say we go that way..."

..we arrived to the campsite safely. Praise God!

NUBE Training Centre

Okay, where to start?

Why not the main hall?

You know the tabernacle during Moses' time, before entering into the holy of holies, the priests have to wash their eyelids, tip of the ear, fingers and toes at the bronze laver?

Same thing here. Except this is a fountain.

And now you enter.

Ooo... stars...

Doesn't really look like a meeting hall for youth, huh?



On to the dormitories.


Wow... Really??

Sorry to disappoint, but its double decker again.

Everybody seems to be leaning to the right

One of the rooms.

And...

Looks like no more cup noodles.

"Oh gosh, are you serious??"

No pictures of food served there, but just to show how the cafeteria looks like.

Don't worry, this is just one half of it.

And now, leisure time!

There's a playground over there. And there's a variety of activities you could do at the playground...

Guess who's that?

You could play with the see-saw with a friend...

Or enjoy the slide by yourself...

Wee!!

Have it your way.

You could also explore the wonders of nature too...

Mighty Jacob...


"OooOoo.. What's that??"

Watch some TV?

"What's on TV?"

The beach here is not as big as the one in Golden Sands.

Well, can't really see the whole beach from this angle.

Why not do some preaching at the shore?

Anyway, there's a badminton court at the campsite too. How exciting.


Don't know whether rackets are provided. Just wait for the camp briefing, la.

Remember about the free ticket when you win the t-shirt designing contest?

This is what the free ticket will get you.


Look, even Abel tried it.

"Very comfortable."

Nah, I'm just kidding.

Like what you've seen so far?

"Quick, we must discuss how we can make this place less comfortable."

This campsite should be more "comfortable" than our last few campsites.

So comfortable that you could sleep peacefully even during the day.

Sleepyhead.

Bet she's dreaming of Wall-E.

Now, before ending this post, some final words...

"Remember to bring all necessary items! Don't be like me!"

Jokes

To get you really prepared for the jokes and laughter that await you in camp, here are some jokes for you.


1. Ah Beng's first Day at Camp (2007)

Ah Beng was very excited to go to camp. He got his friend Muthu to help him pack his bags and while packing, he said to Muthu;

Ah Beng: Hey Muthu! The camp is at Port Dickson, right?

Muthu: Yes, Golden Sands in Port Dickson

Ah Beng: Good, could you help me pack this big pot in my bag?

Muthu: Why are you taking the pot with you?

Ah Beng: (shouted) Aaaiya!!!! to collect all the golden sand maaaaaa!!!!.. You see I am smarter than you.


2. Response to Long teaching on Camp

Ah Beng was in the camp workshop hall on the second day of camp when the workshop leader taught for long.

Later, at the door, shaking hands with guys as they moved out, Ah Beng spoke to the workshop leader and said, “your session was simply wonderful –it was very refreshing”.

The workshop leader was of course very happy and said, “Ah Beng that is very kind of you. Which of my sessions was refreshing?"

Ah Beng replied, “Oh…. When I woke up …. I was really refreshed.”


3. Can you pay the bill?

Ah Beng was brought to the hospital, and taken quickly in for emergency surgery. The operation went well, and as the groggy man regained consciousness, he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed.

"Ah Beng, you're going to be just fine," said the nun, gently patting his hand. "We do need to know, however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?"

"No, I'm not," Ah Beng whispered hoarsely.

"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.

"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."

"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun essayed.

"Just my sister in Taiping," he volunteered. "But she's a spinster nun."

"Oh, I must correct you, Ah Beng. Nuns are not 'spinsters;' they are married to God."

"Really...wonderful," said Ah Beng. "In that case, you can send the bill to my brother-in-law!

Our Camp Speaker!

We are very privileged to have Pastor Terry Appel as the speaker for our Youth Camp this year. Ps Terry has been a good friend of FGT since the early days and has touched many lives throughout the years.

Ps Terry is the Senior Pastor of Christian Life Centre in Mona Vale, Sydney and is married to Faye. Together, they have three children.

Ps Terry is known for the prophetic anointing on his life. Every time he speaks to us, he brings God's word to us as a church and has always given a 'prophetic word' from God to different individuals.

I believe it's not a coincidence that Ps Terry is our camp speaker for this year. I'm excited even to think about what God will do amongst us individuals and the 365 Student Ministry in camp.

Come for camp with an expectation that God will do something really great in your lives! God has something B-I-G in store for all of you!
