YF Camp, menomore, starts tomorrow at 8.30am and ends Sunday after second service at 10.30. about 60 (66 -2 pastors -whoever you consider to be too old to be a youth) campers from p6-poly age will be joining. It's at Salvation Army.
Ben and I are to pray and participate.
Do join us by praying for--
youths who are not Christian (there are at least 2 from nonC b/g)-- that they will understand Christ's love and gift of salvation, and accept Him as Lord. This includes youths who have been attending YF or service but still have not trusted Christ or understood the gospel clearly. Especially youths who have grown up in a Christian environment but think of church as a social thing.
youths who are Christian-- that God will use this camp to build strong ties of fellowship and understanding and love, and that they will each draw near to God, and encourage each other sincerely. Pray that they won't be distracted by dumdum things like infatuations and will instead focus on Christ.
the camp comm, headed by Ivan. Pray that we will be examplary in following Christ and our words and conduct will honour Christ. Pray that we will show love to each other esp when ppl are tired and under stress. Pray that the worship team would have a clear vision of God as King, the Holy One, and the One through Whom and for Whom all things exist.
good health/safety for all campers+ppl involved (and that i won't infect anyone with my cough!), esp as they do this rather hazardous thing in amazing race where you have to make something edible for a bystander O.o
I don't know what Ben's needs are (more shame on me), but i really feel very weak as tmr approaches. I prob won't be staying in camp but hope to join my group during the daytime. i'm coughing (expectorating!) quite violently, and so feel kinda weak; am feeling quite unsettled and restless because things at home aren't really resolved yet; and a separate event on friday is my first time being a tour guide at Christmas Village so i'm not sure what to expect. I find myself pre-empting what ppl will say and worrying about how to convince them (or even myself!) But as a trainer said during the preparation, we should recall the joy of Christmas and genuinely celebrate the fact of God's love for us. And Christ Himself said not to worry about what to say, but trust in His Spirit to guide us.
Everything belongs to God. The stars and the stones and the cattle of a thousand hills. If we kept quiet the stones would praise their Maker. I believe He's able to provide.
the thing that is stopping me from praying with confidence now is the thought that i haven't been very faithful in praying for the camp up til now. Or in watching over the camp comm spiritually. but may God forgive us, and still work in hearts and minds to turn them to Christ.
