Salamat

Hey all.

So the last few weeks have been quite a ride. Few ups and downs here and there.

Mainly because YOUTH CAMP is getting closer. Just to let you know. Things are going great in terms of preperations and most importantly how I see God going to work through this camp. For those who are not sure about this CAMP that is coming up , the theme is IT’S TIME. The reason for this is for it to be in line for next year our church’s 30th anniversary .I,myself have so much story to tell about my walk with God in this church. I literally grew up in this church so I went through every stage thus far and looking back its fun. So our camp will be focusing on that. We want EVERY youth we have to have some story with them. Whether you’re a new member or a old one it doesn’t matter. We want your life to be a testimony to others. We will also have a lot of games and activities that will be focusing on team building, leadership, and individual growth. You probably heard about this many times when people promote camp but we really mean it. A church consists of different individuals working TOGETHER as one.
In conjunction with that. My youth group had our 2nd Pyjamas Prayer! We had it on the 12th of November. This time was even better than our 1st. We prayed for 3 hours and 40 minutes straight!! About 13 people came for this historic time and we can really see every youth that came taking ownership of our youth group. We prayer for many things, camp , church, our leaders and more importantly each other. We are the Youth. So if we want it to grow. We need to grow and support each other. I do not have the pics yet. Will upload it soon on fb and here.

Moving on. I just cane back from the Phillipines! It was an awesome trip in the end . Really got to seek God this time further. I was telling Him why on earth am I there when I got my own things to settle back in M’sia but I guess that’s just an indication of how things are going to happen in the future.God will call us at the most difficult time and testing time. We may think that we got a lot in our hands but all we need to do is just release it to God and continue with His works

Well the trip was an experience. Got to see the poorer side of Manila. We stayed at JLLCF. It is this orphanage being run by Pastor Rachel and Bishop Chito. So we managed to play with the kids for a few days. Its really sad to know that some of the kids were left by their parents and had to beg around. What touched me was on the final night when these 2 boys took some food from this party held for them by their teachers for me. They thought we got enough for dinner and took some for us. Even at their young age they knew how to share. Why can’t we?

We did also a lot of prayer walks here and there. Mostly in shopping malls because they have many church service there. The church was River Of God and they had 2 sessions in Robinson’s Galleria. The morning one is in tagalong(Phillipine language) and the evening in eng. The people are there are very warm and always think I am one of them. They kept talking to me in tagalong. Haha.. One asked me to join his photography club since I was taking pictures. We went to Mall of Asia. The biggest Mall in Asia. It was ok. Did also prayer walks the whole place before shopping around. Bought 27 comic books from one of the Malls.

We attended about 2 prayer meetings excluding the soaking service. The prayer meeting is nothing new. Just that all of the team members shared their testimonies. I shared about my leg injury and my lost camera. The soaking service was new. It was a time to get soaked by the Holy Spirit. It was all speaking in tongues, praise and worship. They have it once a month. This was in another mall.

The other ministries that we did were ministering to the ladies in the slump area near our place, prayer walks to a school and the city hall. My mum had a cooking demo for the cook of JLLCF. Showed them how to make our own nasi lemak.

So with that. That all from me. I’ll update soon I hope before Christmas. Having an IELTS test this week. Please pray for me. Thank you. And God bless

Went for the interview the following Monday. It was ok I guess. Havent done much interview so yea. Got the letter from them today. I got admitted in! Thank God. but I may not go in yet. Will apply to other unis first. IMU ain't everything in the world plus its expen...


Went for the Leaders Retreat last Friday at Avilion Hotel, PD. Was hired as a babysitter by the church. and manit was chaotic. The kids were like screaming and running around. Those 3-5 years old are not too bad..still cute but the 8-11 yrs old..my gudness.. The kind of words that they know. You also know la..Don;t need explanation here but it was an enjoying experience nonetheless. Got to know many of the kids and their parents.


Moving on to Youth Camp ! The theme is It's time and thank the Lord I was chosen by Him to be the chairperson this year. This time around we're going to focus on leaving a story and a legacy behind for us to tell people about what has God done in our lives over our lives.
