wow really enjoyed the camp... the fellowship was fun... find that the ppl are more united after this camp... yup that includes my cg, nyp2... but i really hope that weibin will take up this resposiblities to grow again in God's presence and and receives the blessings from God. hope he will attend cg next wk.. i hope he knows that everybody in nyp2 wants him to return and serve God together. i'm really happy for darren... althought at times he still joke during teachings time and stuff like that... but he has been taking small steps each day towards maturity.. darren, i want to encourage you to learn and read more and apply these Words in your life. you will find real joy... pastor jeff has said this before.. happiness is the result/outcome of happenings that occur ard you. in another word, whether you are happy or not, it depends on situations. but real joy comes from the fruits of the Spirit as you serve and follow God everyday. once you have the joy, u wont be feeling lost or insecure. jiayou k! influence the ppl ard you in a positive way. back to the camp, the programme was abit packed... plus we tend to slp very late, ard 3am or so.. so i always ended up waking up late.. after the last programme which is the photo-taking, rushed home to update the student conference list and sent to zhen yan.. supposed to send her before 7pm. but i reached home at abt 7pm...hmmm i find that i still has this tendency to be late for appointments or completing tasks.. repent repent...

after this camp, i find that fulfiling the Great Commission is an impt vision for the churches as well as the believers. christmas is coming... nyp2, with strong convictions in our heart, is ready to break the goal of 10 ppl attending cg! just now we were busy msging each other for the confirmation of visitors for this wk matt cg event and also encouragements to each other for our sowing efforts. i find that this should be the spirit of nyp2! amen?! and i have set a personal goal of 3 sheeps by end of january! and you know wad? i really want to see yr 1 contacts coming to know Jesus from my diploma course (MB). coz i'm the only Hope guy from MB... hmm.. really need more faith in this area... during the worship at sun night, i teared... coz i sensed this strong compassion and burden for the ppl who had backslided... and throughout my spiritual path in Hope, i find that i'm lonely...most of the yr1 brothers are transferred from the high sch.. they alr have this bond between them.. and i find it difficult to communicate with them.. not only the brothers but also my current shepherd... i dont know whether he's reading this now.. i really find it hard to account to him abt my life and my problems. but i know he cares for me alot... i really thank God for him who had comforted me when i cried. plus the other nyp2 bros... the reason why i teared is partly because of ap... she had impacted my life when i was under her care. i enjoyed the shepherding and caregrp time with her and other nyp4 members at that time. she knows my weaknesses and encouraged me again and again thru sms or msn etc... after she left, i began to stumble abit.. i suddenly felt like a stranger in the nyp unit among the bros and sis. and at that time most of the bros i hanged ard are not really helping me.. because of my shallow faith at that time, i got influenced alot.. and i began to drift away more from God. thankfully ritchie came into my life and blessed me. i believe God has placed him in my life at that crucial period to help me get up on my feet again. i really appreciate all the advices he gave me and the limited times we can spend together.. yupz.. i'm more secure in God now.. so dont worry abt me =p.. after this camp i hope to impove my relationship with my shepherd and also my cg members so that we can work well together to hit our target goal..

end jan goals

1. shepherd of 3 sheeps (at least one from MB course)
   
2. get weibin back on the right track
   
3. help nyp2 to hit 10
   
4. impove my communication skills
   
5. read finish NT
   

today is my first day of attachment.. need to get some rest... oh ya.. i want to affirm giselle again here... you have done well in preparing the food for us! and thanx for ya care and concern. =) and jiahui too.. find that you have this sweet learning spirit... thanx for serving in this camp food committee too yup..

i'll read this post continuously everyday to remind me of my end-jan goals. encourage all my bros and sis-in-christ to meditate on your end-jan goals and fulfill it!

Sat Service
the sermon is abt "struggling with prayer". Pastor jeff challenged us a few things yesterday...

#1 Pray for the ppl ard us.. our families, our friends, our bro and sis in chruch. pray for the non-believers to know Christ.

#2 Pray for daily needs.. start the new day by praying in the the morning.. dont be waked up by the alarm.. wake up 5 mins earlier... pray in the morning.. and anticipate it when ya go thru ya day...

#3 Closer relationship with God... aware of invisible reality in ya life.. the outcome -> quicker to repent, less fearful when bad times come. living in the presence of God. let God to be so real in ya life... so that the non-believers ard ya can witness it..

#4 Know ya temptations.. pray specifically everyday that you will overcome it... for me is laziness...

things to take note in today sermon teaching.. i find this sentence very powerful.. ritchie got share with me once.. and its alr firmly anchored to my heart..
God will only test us and NOT tempt us.. only devils tempts us...
God gives us testings in our life to overcome it so that we will be stronger after we went thru the testings. the testings he gave is to mature our characters and refine our characters to be more Jesus-like... our faith will increase each time we overcome each testing...

Differences between testings and temptations:

Testings	Temptations
God test us hoping that we will pass, so that we will become more like God.	Devils test tempt us hoping that we will pass fail, so that we will become more like God devil.

Brothers and sisters.. must remember this!!!! Dont fall for devil's trick.

Verse to Read!!
1 Cor 10:13b ~ And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Once a non-christian man asked a christian lady: "How do you know that God exists?"

The lady paused for a while and asked the man: "How do you know that the sun is in the sky?"

The man looked up the sky and replied: "That's simple! Because I can see the ray of light shining on me and I feel the heat of the sun."

The lady smiled and replied: "That's it.. I know God exists because I see His Light shining on my path everyday and guiding me when I'm lost. That's when I feel the warmth of His Love."

Keep The Candle Burning
by Point Of Grace

You think you're alone there in your silent storm,
But I've seen the tears you've cried.
Falling down and trying to drown,
The flame of hope inside.
Let me tell you now, tell you now...

Chorus:
When you're walking in the dead of night,
When your soul is churning,
When you hope seems out of sight,
Keep the candle burning.
All it takes is one steady heart,
In a world that's turning.
Shine a light and pierce the dark,
Keep the candle burning.
Keep the candle burning.

When you're down and you're discouraged,
When the darkness clouds your view,
You've got to gather up your courage.
You know the Lord is gonna see you through.
Let me tell you now, tell you now...

When you're walking in the dead of night,
When your soul is churning,
When you hope seems out of sight,
Keep the candle burning.
All it takes is one steady heart,
In a world that's turning.
Shine a light and pierce the dark,
Keep the candle burning.
Keep the candle burning.

One ray of light always breaks through.
Follow wherever He takes you.
Wherever He takes you.

Repeat Chorus 2x

2 Timothy 4:7 ~ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

P.S. I read the above story a few months ago.. This is not the original script that i had received thru my mail. I tried to find it back but I guess I've deleted it. anyway this story still remind strong in my heart because it really touched me alot.

Pascal, the French Philosopher, once said that in the heart of every man is a God shaped vacuum that can only be filled by God himself. God's desire is that each of us have our heart filled with his love through the person of Jesus Christ.
