Operation 318... reflection and thanksgiving...dear brothers and sisters,
this is the time of the year to reflect upon the past b4 we plan for the future...
就能和众圣徒一同领悟基督的爱是多么的长阔高深。(以弗所书3章18节)(that you) may have the power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. (Ephesians 3:18)Honestly, this is one of the best camps i have attended for many years...
i mean... this is a Church camp... the
most important element, and what
sets it apart from other camps or chalet stays... is the
SPIRITUALITY of the campers...
N Spirituality comes from the Work of God cum the prayers of His people...
I thank Qingyang Daoshi for being the anchor who never stop emphasizing on prayers and encouragement for the camp committee...
I thank Peijie for being the true servant of God who ensure all loose ends are tied...
I thank Zhiren for being the faithful assistant who supports the leader in all aspects...
I thank Siling, Jianling and Lynn for being so faithful, trustworthy, diligent for carrying out all duties dutifully and without complaints...
I thank Aaron for being so humble and teacheable... carrying all the chores without complaints and in high spirit...
I thank Yang Hong Laoshi for wisely sharing insight of God's Word and Lixia Chuan Dao for painstakingly showing us Godly aspects of our relationship with God, opposite genders, friends and parents.
I thank all the group leaders (plus those who help to lead when leaders are not around and those who quietly help leaders to lead) for taking up leadership, the extra responsibility to ensuring the well-being of others in a sacrificial spirit...
I thank all the campers who have humbly worship and learn thru all the teaching sessions, enthusiatically participated all the games sportingly...
Most of all, I thank God for not giving up on us.. even though more often than not.. we worship not becoz of God.. we fellowship without God... we live as if there is no God...May we all truly learn to grasp the love of Christ in its full intensity.. and only so.. coz we receive the power from God.. due to the foundational understanding of his sacrifical love on the Cross.. and may we show we indeed grasp it as we live it out with fellow saints...
yes.. next time when we worship.. try to sing all the "I" plurally as "we" and "us" and mean it.
