Well, as you all know, ESP its over...come to think of it, its amazing time can fly so fast...One day after the other...Anyway ESP 7...What can i say about it? > Its a BOOM!, Its great!
But its not what i feel about it, but its what YOU! what do you think about this years ESP? what is your testimony? what have you learn? what have God spoke to you? So this post is not just to update you guys, but also to let you guys post your testimony.
Now just to start up, I will briefly explain what is ESP and what do we do (for those who do not know what is ESP camp and stuff)
ESP stand for English Speaking Presbyterian which consist of all English Speaking Presbyterian Churches in Malaysia. Even though His Generation consists of Youth from all types of churches, I think (I may be wrong) we are included in the ESP... But dun take it wrongly, ESP camp does not mean ESP churches youth only can join. No its open to all...
ESP camp is organized annually...I think (again I may be wrong) the aim for this camp, its to draw youths this days nearer to God. To expose the youths this days about how great and wonderful our God is...To tell youths this days that our God is a God who is real, a God who loves and cares, and a God who is there for you...As you know in todays world that Youths all around the world are going through the hardest times in their life....Being expose to all sorts of negative things that will draw them further from what is the Divine Truth...from God...
The ESP camp I personally thing is to bring back the youth to God...To help them to overcome their problems...being more specific problems such as suicide, homosexual, sexual immoralities or even simple things which we think its okay, bullying, condemning...I think this camp wants them to know that, there is still away to overcome it, there is still away to come back to God...to break free... Remember 'holiness is being in the world but not off the world'
Many people think that, the only way to be accepted by people around us is doing things that they think is cool...And the ESP camp will teach you how to say no! to the things which are wrong in the eyes of God but its ok do it in the eyes of man...
I think thats A LOT of explanation about ESPlosion camp...This year its been held in Mejodi Centre, Plentong Johor... I do not have much time now, so will continue updating it later :)
Ok now more time to complete this post...So on the 10th night, we HG's step on the bus for a 10 hours ride in the bus at 9pm....But you know la Malaysian time, we started around 9.30 or 10...can't remember...
Well that didn't delay us much...but I dun know la, maybe tradition of HG, everytime go ESP sure must go Kerteh McDonald...Never miss one...i think Kerteh McDonald need to sponsor us liao...Last time maybe reasonable cause KT no McD but now KT got McD still want to go...Got something special in Kerteh McD izzit...LOL...So the break in Kerteh already took about 30-45 minutes...Reach Kuantan around 1am (i may be wrong la)...So pity Kuantan people need to wait for us that long...hehehehe...sry ya...(sorry naik lorry la LOL) If next year you all join us again we will make it earlier...(if we remember la :P)
So stop by to fetch Kuantan youths and toilet break, off we go to the camp site...Another 7-8 hours of but aching pain in the bus...And by God's grace and protection we arrive safely in Majodi Centre, Plentong...
Compared to last year when we were the latest to arrive, this year we were the earliest...More early than...In fact, we came earlier than the office people..Arrive there at 7.45am...And lunch was at 1.30 while registration only start at 2...Walao, another 5 1/2 hours of free time and since we didn't have enough sleep in the bus, we ZZZzzzzzzzzz..... Woke up and took our lunch, registered...Ask what time first session start? 5pm...Some prayed in the bus 'Lord give me rest when i reached the camp site' huhuhu...i think God answer your prayer with triple what you want..hahaha....
Sry guys...not much time left for me again...will update tomorrow :) chapter 3... :P
Our new act of greetings :)
Start of chapter 3....
Well this part of the chapter is about the message and sermons and workshop...etc...Won't be explaining a lot on this area as most of you (who went to the camp) has your own point of view...your own encounter with God...But just to say this, I think that Ps. Victor and Kelly did i wonderful job and i think God really spoke through them...I think many lives were touch and Praise the Lord there are lost souls that have been found... So this part, i would like you to fill in the blanks...Just post a comment on what you have experience through this camp itself...Feel free...
I'll skip skip to the games...We had games on the second day...Fun..and it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!(cause obviously my group got first) ...hmmm come to think of it...WHERE'S MY PRIZE!! No.....hahaha...
Well skip skip again to the last worship...I think its by God grace and also, many of us want to worship with all that we got since its the last night, i find the worship the most powerful...It was really encouraging to see almost the whole hall were jumping and lifting their voice for God...To me, that was truly God's spirit!
That night how many had only less than 4 hours of sleep? I'll give the guessing to you guys ya...ESP last night = night life...
SO.....the following day! Everyone as usual, taking photographs and autographs...emails, phone number and etc...and MOST importantly, sleepy eyes...especially our bro. Jeff...didn't sleep the whole night...All taking their last memories together...Sharing their experience with God...How God touch them...So after all that, it was Bye Bye ESPiiv and here i come ESPiiiv (which is around 365 days more) lol...Well i think the HG people were so fired up for God till we had worship extravaganza in the bus..Imagine that!!!! Worship for like hmmmm....and hour plus maybe...Had a great time...And i'm sure all of us had a wonderful and a true encounter with God...
As the closing of this post...I shall say that, to aim and the purpose of the ESP camp has been fulfilled after all, making it indeed a successful camp...And I truly believe that God will continue to bless this camp and also His presence be upon this camp...Chains been broken, Lives been healed, Eyes been open, Christ is revealed!!!! Thats what ESP is for...To reveal Christ to his children and also to those who do not know him...To open our eyes and see that God is real, that God loves us, that God will be with us...To heal lives, lives that were broken in the past, lives that were shattered, lives that were deep in sin, lives that were in darkness...and to brake the chain of sin in our lives, to break the strongholds, to break the chains that are holding us back from God, from loving God, from following Him....
All things are possible through Him...Because He is the
WAY, TRUTH & LIGHT
upon us...
Ps: Please do leave your testimonies as your comments....
