Don't know how to start cause its such a long chain of events but I will break it up into summarized sections. Before LTD, wasn't feeling very good spiritually. Maybe all that serving took a lot of virtue and I felt such a huge void in my life that I was desperate to fill. Kinda been beaten up by voices of condemnation and all out of a sudden in my tiredness and I went into Youth Camp really needing something from God. And what I got was more than I expected. Check this out for cool.
Date: 2003
July-Nov period
Venue: ACJC
When I first got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, I was so excited with what I got and spent most of my sch time on a rooftop. And I would tell God I would imagine Him to be a cloud and worshiped and spoke to it (just like Moses I imagined). There was always this pillar of cloud where God met me in conversation daily. Best moments of my life really in school since I was a loner.
Date: 2007 End of May
Venue: Sabah
God impressed me to study on Ruth and the relationship of a husband and wife in marriage pertaining to Christ and His Bride the church. One morning in Sabah whilst praying, the sun rose up and I soaked in its warmness and felt the Presence of God in prayer and worship. And the Lord spoke to me in such clarity saying, "you once knew me as a cloud, but from now on you will know me as a sun. I won't hide from you any longer who I am". Goosebumps and I felt this power witness from my spirit when God said that and it stuck with me. I did not understand it fully then.
Date: 2007 17 June
Venue: Kids Church
Taught on the faithfulness of king David and Ruth. On how God is calling us to be faithful.
Date:2007 18-19 June
Venue: LTD
I brought the book divine romance to camp. In morning prayer on tuesday God told me He was going to confirm my desire to be joined with Him in deep intimacy like a husband and wife. Two become one. And Brother Cutar did. Some Rockers saw the book I was reading divine romance that morning.
Date: 2007 21 June
Venue: Last day of camp morning
While praying on thursday morning, God spoke to me again and said, "You shall know me as the Sun because I am called Faithful. Even when you are faithless, I am faithful. Clouds are dependent on vapor and the environment around to condense it. It is unpredictable. But the Sun is always shining every morning". Great is thy faithfulness, morning by morning new mercies I see. I cried at such a promise and I told God to bind my wandering heart to Him. I use to "know" God is faithful, but now I really KNOW He is. That is revelation. I want to be like Ruth who cleaved herself to Naomi like a dog who is faithful. i told God all that. Shared with Brenda, Nicolette, and Anna what God told me immediately.
Date: 2007 21 June
Venue: Sharing session
Brother Tim came up and confirmed the word stating the key word that God was telling me to do. Faithfulness. Like a dog. Remember? Brother Tim said that. Imagine our faces.
Date: 2007 21 June
Venue: Breakfast
This is the nosebleed one. After I heard from the Lord about God being the Sun who rises up every morning to give me mercy. I met brother wolfram who was having breakfast. Throughout camp we never spoke nor had much eye contact so to hear from him was quite surprising. He came up to me or should I say we crossed paths and said this, "Morning, the Sun sure is shining bright again huh?" And I felt a witness as he smiled and walked away. Leaving me dumbfounded.
So what did I get out of LTD? I found out that God is faithful. Whether I feel like it or not, He is always there. May not sound as dramatic as i am writing to you, but most awesome experiences with God are inadequately describe with mere words or intellect. It is the inner knowledge of God that a soul/spirit receives that changes him, not the intellectual understanding. I love Jesus more as each day passes, who says a marriage gets stale? The more I know Him, the more I want to know Him.
Thank you LTD committee for allowing this matchmaking session with God to occur.
love,
samuel(david)

hello!
firstly, thank God for LTD'07 comm and their brilliant efforts that didn't go to waste! cause i enjoyed camp, in the games aspect, fellowshipping aspect, and spiritually especially. it's been great..the Lord is goood!
i didn't realise the importance of praise and worship till now. more of, i didn't quite understand the whole rationale behind it and the power of it. but wow, it's revelation and i now know how precious God regards our praise and worship. and this urges me on to continue that, to please our awesome God in ANY circumstance! :D
also, i finally heard signs of my calling during camp.. it was prophesized by melissa(rasid) and some..other person, whom i THINK is bro.dave.. and really, it was amazing. everything was. the messages in sermons, the 5 water baptisms and 3 baptised in the Holy Spirit, numerous testimonies, our worshipping, clapping and dancing, raising of hands, victorious shouts of praise.. its like living a life for God without the world interfering. and now i can't wait for DCD, woahahaha (: (:!!
i'm a h2 history student like peiting, and she shared her revelation with me on that day.. and well, now i don't grumble when tackling Southeast Asian history anymore.. not that much anyway =P from there, i got reminded that God has a purpose for everything that He allows to happen, and He gave each of us all a destiny to fufill. i don't wanna miss my mark.. i don't think anyone of us want to.. because i bet that all of us will want to one day come before God and hear those words of approval from Daddy Himself. and to receive that, we'l have to offer everything that we are unto Him ((:
ohoh! for Angels Unaware, thankyou kheng for being a great angel despite being sooo busy in the committee! :D
heh. its not that much of a testimony.. but i thought i'd share some of my feelings of the camp with you guys. but eh, can't camp be abit longer pleaaaase? :P it was only four days!
regards,CHARLOTTE!
Love in Christ,

Bryan - The full-of-crazy-ideas Gamemaster
Bryan Ong aka Bong is currently serving the nation. He enjoys playing soccer, eating supper and lying on his bed with a hot chocolate and oreo cookies by his side. He contains quite a large amount of lame and humour juices, therefore knowing him will expose you to high risk. Nonetheless, if you wish to lead an adventure life, feel free to call his hotline, or catch him in church on sundays, if he manages not to get any guard duties.
Alvin - The "Indian at heart"
I'm Alvin (a.k.a Alvin Van Der Sar). I really love sports, and am a freak about being healthy albeit eating 2 apples a day and lots of greens. Many people say i look old for my age(16) and the bus conductor has ever called me uncle, tts kinda scary. I love all things Indian and still greatly harbor a hope of being a missionary to India. I love the colour pink, love wearing facial masks, loves finding the cure to pimples. I hope to learn as many languages as I can( it's 6 and counting as of now). Last but not least, I love Jesus because He first loved me.

Likes to spend time with me and myself, especially chilling out in a nice cafe,with great coffee and good music;a scenic view is icing on the cake!!
Makes a joyful noise all day long, a whiny sound when things go looney;
Plays the guitar to make merry & soothe the soul, and chats with the Lord to make it all okay!!
And i can't go to sleep without hugging my Pooh-bear pillow!
I love to sing and dance when I'm all ALONE in the house (:
And have a soft spot for cheesecake, dark chocolate and Gelare ice cream on a cone!

Charles - The Old Bird
i'm charles but you can call me "the cool-nerd"
I am a quiet person (most of the time anyway)
I enjoy playing computer games all day long and am a night owl.
When I do finally go to sleep I have to leave my music on throughout the night, because if it is too quiet I cant sleep.
I have a habit of talking to myself when nobody is at home. Also because it gets too quiet.
Kheng - The lets-make-everything-a-contest Marketer
You might recognise me as your friendly neighbourhood shutterbug/pest, hiding among the audi's seats and pouncing at every opportunity to capture that ONE snapshot. So the next time round you see me running about during events, please don't siam or be shy!
Here goes... "Training to be soldiers...Fight for our land..."
Well I figured that phrase was something I'd start off with because LTD 2007 is the one major thing which I would have participated in for the year before suffering from acute hair loss.
At the same time, since 2007 is the year of the Harvest, we gotta be constantly fighting for our nation, family and friends' Salvation.
On to the lighter stuffs, I love food, so foodies please drop me a holler. Love cooking because I feel that is is an amazing stress reliever, plus you usually get something to chomp down on after that (provided you don't burn anything).
As you can see I adore food and cooking; and if any of you Rockers want to cook up a storm, please please please come and tell me =).
