We are Good to Go!!!

Months of planning. Numerous times of head butting, hair pulling, chest beating, food eating,...the time has finally come!!! We are now ready to go for the Youth Camp 09!!! As some of camp commies sit (the Form 5s) sit for their final paper, the rest are busy tidying up the last minute stuff and wondering what in the world have they forgotten (which they will find out during the camp). Not really sure whether this will be a great success, but for me, it is already a great success. In what way? Well, let me count the ways...

• Three youth groups coming together...(EAOG, EY and YW@P)
• Funds working out, even though some are complaining of the fee (which by the way the committee still needed fund raising to cover)
• Two separate youth groups planning the camp together
• The younger ones (from EY) taking on responsibilities and willing to work and most importantly OWN the work
• The older ones (from EY) taking on responsibilities and teaching the younger ones their experience and willing to step back and let the 'glory' go to others
• The willingness of yet older ones to take leave and contribute in any way that they can towards the camp
• My personal favorite, the wonderful time of working with the camp commie...of sharing thoughts, ideas, jokes and tears.

Anything more? A lot more but well let me tell you after the camp... Now before we signed off for four days and three nights, let me give you the program as well as the last minute briefing. Also we would like those who due to some circumstances unable to join us, to join us in prayer. We know you would very much like to be a part of this camp and let me tell you this, you are a part of this camp, although you are apart (away la) but you are very much a part of the camp. We valued your help, ideas and contribution. From the depths of our hearts...THANK YOU!!! We hoped and very much would appreciate your prayers as we acknowledge that unless God builds, well we pretty much labour in vain... so a big thumbs up for you all...

Programs...

We will start our camp ...not on the 15th of December 09, but tonight!!!

(Errr...thanksgiving? Hello, the camp hasn't even started yet...Well we believe that we need to give thanks to God for giving us this opportunity to run this camp and we wanted to go forth with praises in our mouths and hearts)

Now for the actual camp day...

For the Ipoh Gang, please meet in Elim by 10:00am (15 December 2009). We will depart Ipoh for Pangkor at 10:30am. (Don't worry, lunch will be provided...) Please be PUNCTUAL as we WILL leave without you. (Do remember that you have already paid the camp fees...it will just mean more food and bed space for the rest...and also, I will get additional T-Shirts...)

The rest of the programs are as follows...



Thats about it for the programs.... One last thing...the camp commies want you all to bring a torch light to the camp. Also please make sure (my advice) to bring working torch lights and batteries for the torch lights to the camp...

So, folk...cheers and let's enjoy the camp!!!
