Praise God for HTC2009

Dear brothers and sisters that prayed for us throughtout this period...

The HTC2009 lastly held its closing on 27 Aug 2009... it closed wonderfully with a revision by drama presentation for the 10th selected lessons that we have gone through in 14 days time. Of course it ended up with some fingerfood for our teachers and students too.

We have so much in heart to give thanks to God for be with us in this camp:

1. God gave us strength

As there is only three of us in the organisation team, most of the preparation tasks are on us. However, everytime when we felt tired after the morning camp (we need to start preparation for the net day in the afternoon n sometime dragged till night). God always gave us new strength to continue with a grateful and happy heart.

2. God provided all our needs

We need good weather for the outdoor activities, God provided (at the moment, the school still do not have a big hall that can accommodate more than hundred children. We need money to run the show, God provided. We need helpers for each team (we have 10 teams), God provided 2 teachers for each team. We need materials for the lesson, God provided a wonderful materials by knowing Him more through different name of Himself. We need speakers for everyday messages, God provided His servants from Singapore, Sarawak n in-house Singapore pastors. We need prayers to protect all of us, we have a group of faithful missionary friends from Sarawak to pray for us n provide physical helps if needed (they helped us to spare a lot of recycled materials too for the activities). And God also provided you, our prayer partners to become the strong pillars behind us n this work. Thank God so so so much.

3. God is be with us

In this camp, there was a cheating case happened where a boy cheat on the money (coupon) of another team during the cooking session (they used coupon as money to "buy" materials for their team cooking). As the judges checking out the issues, found out that the boy's team purchased the materials which worth more than the coupon that they had been given. The disiplinary action was taken place immediately after the incident.

However, that afternoon, when we checked out the photos taken. Found that there is one photo that showed the incident --- it was really a shock for us as what we didn't see, God showed it to us through randomly taken photographs. for the boy n the team, I think this is really a living testimony to them that God is always there to watch out what we are doing (so coincidently, the topic for that day is "Jehovah Shammah - God is always there").

4. God loves Cambodian

in this 14 days, as days passed, we saw the students changed gradually, although is slow, but progressing. For bw's group, started with "forcing" the students to pray for the snack time n during lesson time, till the last day --- the students waited for her for 15 minutes before they started eating, just to wait for her to come n pray together before they started eating. This is a wonderful and touching eperience for her.

In other teams, we saw also the team spirit of the students changed gradually, heart of selfishness lessen with the increase of loving each others in the camp. some life are touched and even teachers admitted they knowing God more through this camp.

God is here, not only with Malaysian or Singaporean, He also stand with Cambodian people here, will you join the line?

we are going to Singapore today, n will be back on Monday -- to attend the fund raising dinner for the school and other ministry. Please pray for our journey mercy. We shall update you more when we come back. May God be with you...
