At one of the meetings, Angel announced that CF is planning a camp for the second year. The announcement was responded with mixed reactions. Some were enthusiastic while some were less so. Nevertheless, a committee was formed. Mary and I were appointed as the camp commnader and vice. having been attending camps year in and out, i must confess i'm getting 'bored' with the usual stuff... i thought to myself, i have enough of receiving, now it's time to get involved and serve, so i readily accept the post and responsibilities.
Having learnt the lesson from the first CF camp, we knew that everything is in God’s hand. The camp committee then gathered to pray together with Ms Esther and Ms Elise before deciding on the theme, date and venue for the camp. We seek God for direction and He revealed a vision! The theme “Soar Like An Eagle” based on Isaiah 40:31 was chosen because it was in-line with the camp objectives.
The next task is to write a proposal to the Department of Student Affairs (DSA). Committee members start preparation by planning the program and working out the finances, enquiring about the campsite, room rates, meals, bus services and sponsorship, designing posters and T shirts, looking up devotional materials, and inviting speakers for the camp. All information and necessary details were gathered and the proposal was submitted to DSA.
After a few weeks, the camp was finally approved. Publicity and registration was carried out in PJ, Sg Long and Setapak campus respectively. The faculty representatives collected the camp fees and registration forms. During the holidays, the worship team gathered to practiced and learned new songs. The games coordinator planned and prepared the activities. Committee members fasted and prayed 7 days before the camp and frequently update each other through emails, phone calls and sms. Whenever there is a change, the committee members have to be informed and new plan of action have to be made. God is good and He hears our prayers. We learnt not to hope on men because men will disappoint but to place our hope in God. We thank God that He sees us through every obstacle and last minute changes. It is important to seek Him first because no matter how well we prepare, we know that at the end of the day, God is in control and His plans will prevail. =)

LOVES reading calvin and hobbes comic strips as it is simply entertaining and reflective of the naughty child i perhaps would be... JESUS made a difference in how i live my life...Travelling to take in sights and sound on this earth, Food to feed on and enjoy the fellowship... Music to sing my heart out and praise God, Dance for exercise, coordination and balance, Sports to destress and sweat to get rid of toxic in our body, Fury friends to hug and cuddle...Friends to hang out with, encourage and support
DISLIKE lizards and the reptile family... sorry no offence
