The sessions was great, there was some word shared but most of the time we were actually doing more practical stuff and learning how to be listening to God and so on. But at the same time is getting to know each other. I'll just share some of the pracs we did....
the first one was someone would stand in front of the rest and the rest would throw out 1 word description of characteristics just by looking...the point is to see the person as how God would see that person (to do that is kinda long to explain here...so i'll just skip the explanation =P) And then some discussion/feedback from the person standing out there.
Another one we did was pair up, then pray to God and ask God how/what would He like to say to the partner. And then jot it down, then pray and the proclaim about it. After doing so then share it with partner and get feedback and so on.
And there is this so call speed dating activity we did. Haha...is like there is 2 lines of people (equal people), then one line would pray to God asking for pictures/words/verse or anything to tell the other line of person. And then later on share to the person and get feedback this whole process is about roughly 3mins and then the same thing is done again but this time the person who receive first then pray for the person who initially pray. So meaning after 6 mins, switching in 1 of the line. Then there is this one time where we switch partners without seeing where we are switch with. Which was a very good cause in the end all we see is that the Holy Spirit working and we shared things that is relevant to the person shared with!!
I've gained alot from this camp, maybe not as much as others, but it has been a refreshing and great camp. And i also know how people see me just by looking at me(1st activity) i'll shall write what people think of me...
1) Laid Back (well lots of people laugh at this..but there is another that make people laugh more)
2) Dependant (yes i do depend on people i'm not perfect and all capable!!...)
3) Dependable (...but that doesnt mean i cant be depend on)
4) Faithful
5) Supportive
6) Willing to help
7) Deliberate
8) Determined
9) Purposeful
10) Growing
11) Responsible
And there is another word that was from the speaker's team (this is the word that make people laugh more!! wont share the whole situation at that time but what is being shared), that word was 'truck'. here is what is shared about that word: "I see you like a truck - a truck with a tray like a dump truck but it is not a dump truck. Just like this truck, you have an ability to travel long distances and to carry His(GOD's) presence and to give it away. You also have a great ability to journey along side others and to help carry them, help carry the load but then also to let go of the load when you need to" I guess that practically sums me up i think...haha...about carrying God's presence i'm not so sure, mayb i have been doing it jsut i dont realise it. But to journey with others that is what i like, i just care and just get people to share abt thier life and just go thru with them one way or another.
Another thing that has touched me during the camp that God reaffirms me of His love towards me that i'm His precious son. That meant alot for me as i come from a broken family, and that has touched me and make me cry when i was being prayed for. And also just motivate me to have a deeper relationship with God.
My experience in this camp is just too much to share it here with just words, all i can say it was amazing!! And Sarah experience a new level of relationship with God that is how great the camp has been, and many has been touched. All i can say was we were "In The Zone"
