After AFC's sabbatical year, we had our annual AFC Camp again this year. this time round, God gave us campers who helped me grow spiritually and mentally. as always, the highlight of camp will be the 3 days of outreach. i was amazed by God, once again. so i'm gonna share with you one of the amazing things that He did.
It's was the 2nd day of outreach. after God's blessing on the 1st day, everything went on well and we were all hyped up to continue the Lord's work. then we reached Klang Parade. after all the sound check and backstage prayer, once again we're all set to put up a show for Him. just when the first song was played, the CD started scraping. so i signaled Dhanyal to stop the music and hit replay. my dancers were already kinda distracted since it didn't started off went well. and then it was our 2nd song. this time, the song just can't play smoothly, and Dhanyal kept replaying it but it just didn't work out. so many dancers became even more afraid and nervous, not knowing what to do so most of them wasn't looking at me, therefore i can't tell them exactly what to do on stage. i can't remember after how many times the song was replayed, and those of us off stage kept praying, it finally played on smoothly. but my dancers were distracted so they missed quite alot of beats while dancing and we all knew something was wrong. but God was there with us nevertheless. after that presentation, i told my dancers how i felt they did and taught them the things to do should they face this kinda situation again. we were all a little down, so we prayed and rested while heading to the next location. Soon enough, we reached IOI Puchong. and this time round, we came back so much stronger as a team and God was gracious to us. i can't help but had goose bumps through out the whole presentation. God's presence was so strong and our spirits were lifted high. =)
Then we headed to our last location as scheduled, we reached Atria one and a half hours before our presentation. so we had our dinner in the bus and retouch on their makeup, we're all set and ready for it. 45 minutes before our presentation was supposed to start, we received orders from our leader Joseph, who went down and met with the management manager, and said that there was a miscommunication about our scheduled presentation time. we were supposed to perform the following night then. but that's not gonna work as we already had our scheduled all filled up for the next day too. so again, God tested our team. without anymore delay, Eunice gathered everyone's attention and we prayed earnestly like we never did before. i opened in prayer, followed by Adrian and Eunice closed in prayer. though it wasn't a long cooperate prayer, but the Holy Spirit's presence was really strong, as we were all united in prayer. just when Eunice was closing us in prayer, i heard voices from the walkie talkie saying that it's all set, we need to get down the bus, asap. then we signaled Eunice and she ended by thanking God for His faithfulness to us. and together, we said Amen with all our hearts and minds with one voice. it was the loudest Amen i've ever heard the campers said. our prayers has been heard. it was 30 minutes before our presentation started. and JJ and Jeremy who went down earlier, said that place was rather empty, hardly able to find even a small crowd. but 5 minutes before we started, the stage area was all filled up with people. if you were to ask me, i really don't know out of a sudden where did all those people came from, but what i know is, that was God. once again, i was amazed to see how great and powerful our God can work, in such a mysterious way. and so God's name was lifted high that night and all glory be unto His name alone!! ^_^
Now that camp is over, somehow or rather, i don't really miss it as badly as i always did. but spiritually i know, i am another step closer to Him. so to me, that's all that matters. though there were even more things going on behind the scene, which i'm gonna leave all that behind. even if it was my last AFC Camp, i have no regrets. because i did my best for God and i know He sees all that. He used His people to encourage me to move on, and He gave me the strength to stand and smile for Him. everything happened according to His will and glorified God's name. and those whom i cared about enjoyed the camp too, so that's all matters to me. only two things i liked about camp this year, was the opportunity for outreaches again and our best camp T-shirt ever. thanks to dear Tsu Ann for the wonderful camp T. it's really hard work but really great job done. and the things i miss only is dancing for God, Owen, Ryan, Sharon & OSC campers. so glad to see you guys again and met you all at camp, it's been a blessing and we shall continue this good work for God no matter where we are. hugs to you all!!
