Tyrael's: 2008

Infuse Camp 2008. The theme of this camp is : BREAKTHROUGH.
I had a BREAKTHROUGH alright. The camp was sooo awesome! The awesomeness can't be described with words and pictures alone. Must really go for the camp, then only you will know.

- 17th December 2008 -
We were supposed to gather at 46 at 8.30 a.m. But after reaching there, Vil Sern told me that the bus is reaching at 9.30 a.m. And he knew this all along. I asked him why didn't tell us, and his reply was :
" I HAVE TO COME EARLY TO DO SOME STUFF MA, SO HOW CAN THERE BE ONLY ME, ONE FELLA LIKE THIS. MUST PULL YOU ALL ALONG ALSO MA."
Kokoi -_-"

After reaching the place that we're staying in,

CAMWHORE LA!

We had some free time before lunch, so we lepaked around the area. Here's some pictures of the place.

Behind me is the place we stayed. It was windy most of the time, 'cos it's just beside the sea.

Simon : Haih, I wish there's someone here with me right now..

His wish came true =P

This is the view from the seminary, the place where we did all our activities. And the beach house where we stayed at was almost at the same level as the sea. So everyday, we gotta take this tiring walk up and down the whole place.

Level One

Level Two

Level Three

After passing all these three levels, sure feel like crap.

You can see from the pictures. LOL.

After lunch we got divided into four tribes : Levi, Simeon, Judah and Issachar. I was in Judah. Tribe leader was Marx.

Working together to draw the tribe flags

Judah's flag. All we had was crayons, so it was pretty hard to draw on the cloth. Credits go to Daniel for drawing this flag! =D

Some of the tribal war cries

The praise and worship that night was, as usual, FRIGGIN' AWESOME. Ps. Rudy talked about unplowed ground. One name came into my mind when he said that we need to make peace with the people we bosong, have grudges, misunderstandings, etc. with. I am glad to say that I made my peace with THAT person and it feels really GOOOOOOOD. =D

- The Next Day -
We were supposed to wake up at 6 a.m. Vil Sern, being a 'GOOD' dorm leader, woke everybody up with his shouting and shaking and whacking and slapping and thing thinggg at 6 a.m. After the whole dorm was awake, he told me : "Eh Ginn Yi, wake me up at 6.30 k." After saying that he went back to sleep and me, being a 'GOOD' friend, went back to sleep too. Whole dorm was awake except for the guy who woke them up and the guys who slept with the guy who woke them up. =D

Had devotion in the morning.

After that, breakfast. But need to pass all three levels before we got our breakfast. After breakfast, pastor talked about repentance. This session can be summarised into ONE word :

REPENT !!!

After the session was games. We played beach games(I thought someone took pictures of it, but I couldn't find any) and dodge ball. After the beach game was over the tribes were to make their way up to the basketball court, which was in between Level One and Level Two. Well, all I can say that there were many panting and tired, wet, sandy feet and legs involved. Judah got to the top first, so we were awarded extra 10 points. Next up was dodge ball at the basketball court. The balls were so light that we couldn't even aim properly with them and they won't reach the other team if they were to stand at the back. So, it made us look like sissies who can't even throw a toy ball properly -_-"

That night, pastor talked about unbelief. The doubts and fears that we have when we do something for God is unbelief and it always holds us back from doing what God wants us to do. Instead of letting unbelief take over us, we should just step out in faith and break the unbelief that's within us so that we can achieve bigger and better things for God. Night games got cancelled 'cos we sooo absorbed in worshipping and praising God. Which in my opinion, is better than night games.

- Third Day -
Started with devotion again. And the levels. And breakfast. Pastor talked about roaring back at the devil. When the devil comes and roars at us, we're to ROAR back and tell him to shut up, 'cos we don't wanna have anything to do with him. =)

After that, we had Tribal Mania. There were three parts. First part involved one person singing, and the rest dancing/acting according to the song. Something like those backup dancers that you usually see in concerts. Second part was dancing. Bollywood style. Third part was acting.

Simeon won the Tribal Mania.

Vil Sern : Firstly, I wanna thank my parents *sniffs*.. BLA BLA BLA

And now, the last session. Words can't describe how awesome it was. All I know that I was on my knees, soaking in the wonderful presence of God and all the while asking for more and more of Him. The feeling was just sooooooooooooooooooooooo nice!!

After that, BBQ at the beach. Didn't really eat much. No appetite.

- The Last Day -
Testimony time.

The people who gave their testimonies. Sorry if I've left out anybody, it's either I don't have the pictures or the pictures are too blur.

Champion tribe - Levi

After that, phototaking session and lunch. We cabut-ed from Penang after that. Three people accepted Christ during the camp! Thank God for saving these people! =D
