Testifying Christ

In His eyes, we aren't His mere children. To Him, we are worth more than all the riches in this world. "For this is how God loved the world; He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life."-John 3:16. We are worth so much of His Love that he gave us His only son, and ever since, His blessings have been continuously out pouring onto us. We, as citizens of heaven, should proclaim of His Alimighty works to testify His true and ever-living presence. Our God is an awesome God who has everything planned in every aspect of our lives. Your testimony today, will indeed change the hearts of many. I thank the Lord for the many testimonies that are present today, and the many that are still to come, for they have proved that the Lord, our God, is indeed the lover of our soul, who will never fail to continue to shower His utmost blessings upon us.

A testimony from His blessed son, Addison Wong (Singapore)

What a lark! What a plunge! It was nothing like I've ever experienced before. YOUTH CAMP 2006 was the best thing that happened to me in the longest of time, now. It was truly awesome - fun and spiritual at its peak! Seriously, it was one of those camps, which was fantastic from start to end - no pauses or exceptions - excelling tremendously from how I expected it to turn out. Why? Because it was spirit-led, full fledged.

There were quite a number of changes that were made to the original programme - changes that made so much of a difference, in terms of how spiritually impactful the camp was for the participants.One such change was the prayer session that was planned for Day Two night. As the In-charge for that day, I had originally planned for it to be a normal reflection session for the day. But after Day One ended, I felt a calling to change it. In the end, my friend, Yvonne and I did a reflection session on "How God can play a larger role in my life". This was accompanied by a skit about youths unsatisfied with their lives. After that, my other friend, Matthew, and I led in a worship session, following the same theme. The reflection was executed beautifully, and the worship session that followed was, quoted from my friend Mark Tan, attendee of several youth camps, "one of the most powerful and spiritual sessions ever done in all the youth camps that I have attended. It was amazing!"

With that, I have another testimony to share. Before this camp, I had never led in a worship session before, although I'm from a prayer ministry. I've always used symbols, reflections, rosary or taize for my sessions. So this worship session was my very first. Naturally, I was nervous. Even just 15 minutes before the actual session, I was messing up the lyrics badly. But when the actual session took place, I felt the presence of the Lord, stronger than I had ever before. With the spirit's guidance, I was able to lead worship and pray in such a powerful way, each and every one of the participants and my fellow facilitators were all deep in prayer and worship. It was truly magical. To witness a community that deep in prayer was one of those lifetime experiences. But that was not the end of my experience. As the session became deeper in time, I felt a stronger sense of the Lord's presence and love. Such warmth surged through me. It was the feeling of God's love at its peak. Such a marvelous feeling - so much that, when the session ended, I went to a corner and burst into tears. I was THAT touched by the Holy Spirit. It was a spiritual high for me. I expected to lead worship and ended up experiencing something I haven't experienced for years, since Youth Camp 2003. Truly, the Lord works in such marvelous ways and in such unexpected times. Thank you, Lord, for the experience. You truly are an amazing God.

The next day, a testimony was given by two girls, who said that they saw the same image of Christ during the prayer session. Both were touched by the Lord in such a beautiful way. Hearing them describe what they saw, felt and experienced brought tears to my eyes. It was a very moving and inspirational testimony.

It was such a thrill planning for YOUTH CAMP 2006. It was an even greater thrill being in charge of Day Two, which turned out fantastic with the Vivo Challenge, Yak-a-ti-yak Journey and above all, that astounding prayer session I mentioned. Even in terms of planning, I was being the epitome of organised and professional! Haha! Such satisfaction I receive from thinking about how far I've gone in this youth camp journey and how much I've accomplished for God and for myself.Thank God for the great turnout for the camp.

Thank God for His guidance and strong presence during the camp.
Thank God for helping us achieve what we had set out to achieve through the camp.

There's no need for rewards or payback. There's no need for affirmation or compliments. Seeing the participants grow spiritually to such an abundant extent in just that short period of four days, together with that significant encounter I had with God, has left me with a reward that no worldly possession could take after. It's experiences and wonders like these that just make me want to cry out and proclaim, "Our God Is An Awesome God!"
