fighting for a good cause
i'm glad to say, camp NEOs is over! we're completed the camp and break camp around 1pm today. and, our clan, ATHENS won the overall clan champion!!!
to all of us who went,
i'm sure thru this time we've really learnt alot. u guys played alot as well. thou i didn't play with u guys, but i watched u guys played ok..i've seen u all put in all u can, striving to win the game. i'm glad that we walked in unity this camp. waiting for one another to bathe, wake each other up in the morning, laugh at each other n play around. thank you brothers for helping us out, voluntarily helped us to take milo. and of course, taking care of our 3pri 6s, making sure they're not lost, making sure they're alright, not being bullied by other people. i'm sure we all enjoyed ourselves.
most of all, we had a chance to pray together. ok. not just a chance, but for the past 3 days. we've al learnt to pray for one straight hour during the first night, to do daily devotions in the mornings, pray with each others during the sessions. that's what its all about. having fun and building our spiritual lives at the same time.
i'm really proud of all of u.
for su, you've done a great job leading us! not only u had to lead us, but u took the initiative to make friends with the other people from the zone, the other team leaders. thou u were tired, yet u had a good attitude. always patient with the little ones, making sure everyone has food, we're all well taken care of. i'm sure thru this camp you've acquire leadership skills.
for the rest of us. some of us has school today, like pj, hock, pris, n rachel. but u guys took the effort to join us for the camp. thou u know it'll be tiring but u made the sacrifice. i'm sure its really all worthwhile. my dear pri 6s, i hope u all enjoyed urselves. maybe its the first time playing late into the night, sleeping at 3am. i know u're tired, but u've never whined, never make noise but played on n stayed on with us. good job! and of course, cherlyn, you've been the one that hype up the atmosphere. ur "high-ness" really did influenced us to be more active. vina played a big big part too! thou u dun really play sports, but u willingly participated in the tallymatch with the rest of them. u were tired, but u stil made the effort to talk to the other members. n of course, bring friends!!! =)
last but not least, the 3 impt ppl in our mist that really served us n worked hard.
zuzhang, nette n raisa.
raisa was one of the game master. thank you for sacrificing ur sleep, and really putting in ur all to facilitate to the games, giving us short cuts around the school, telling us which toilet is cleaner n cheering us on during the games.
nette helped out with the committee. thank you for preparing our food, serving them plate by plate, walking round the big dark school n help the leaders, preparin the camp fire for us. even thou u were tired, busy, but whenever u can, you'll always find us, cheer them on in the games, be there physically to support them when u could have taken the time to rest.
and of course, our dearest zuzhang. thank you for encouraging us always. stiring us up to really go n be prepared for the camp. walking around the campus to ensure things are going on well, planning the campfire so we can have a good session. availing urself to be there thru-out the camp. thank you for supporting us, looking out for us, always coming over to remind us to drink more water, ask if we're ok, if we've enjoyed ourselves.
i believe we're all taken something back with us thru this camp. let's use that something, whatever it may be, be it unity, be it stronger desire for revival, stronger hunger for the Lord, desire for prayer, let's really move from here.
let camp NEOs be a point of reference for everyone of us. 5, 10yrs down the road. when we look back, we'll rmb how we spent 3days in june 2008. playing, having fun, n growing our spiritual lives at the same time. this wil be ur best example, of how christians can be fun, n holy at the same time.
love, joyce
either we do it, or we don't
