A venture into the Heartlands

Hi campers!

If you didn't already know, as part of our outreach program we distributed FACT Camp flyers to the blocks surrounding our church. For those who were not there, let me give you a brief summary.

On sunday afternoon and the following saturday night, a group of us (campers like you and me) made our way around the neighbourhood distributing flyers to the doorstep of eacdh household.

It was an experience that would have been reminiscent of our Love AMK projects many years ago. Back then we did surveys and gave out love gifts of daily necessities to the households. This time round our purpose was a little more concentrated and our goal was to reach out and invite the youths to come for FACT Camp, so they can make friends and hopefully encounter God in the process.

It was scary. Not particularly the giving out of flyers but at the moments when the doors were open and you had faces staring back at you. Sometimes you wonder if you'll encounter those one in a million case where people get violent or start shouting. There were a few instances I felt like it would be okay to just skip a house. But I realised, I did not have the right to decide who will have access to the gospel or not. And also if they reject me, it is Christ they reject, not something personal.

Overall, it was a great experience that was over all too quickly. It was great partly because we were doing God's work. The other part was that we did it together. Regardless of gender, age or cell group. Its unexplainable when we do God's work together. There is a unity that you can't build up through more mundane events.

With that, I end this report. Hopefully some of you out there will agree with some of the things I have said. Take care people! And remember to keep preparing for camp!

as many of 'you' would have known, last sunday a group of 'you' committed your afternoon on a mission to help reach out to the youths living within our church neighbourhood. Yes! by giving out those nice flyers (designed by one of 'you'). i would like to thank everyone of 'you' for your time and belief that evangelism is important. i personally believe that we'll be seeing some of them in this camp! maybe 'you' are the one i'm talking about:) (yes 'you', reading this on your PC). We look forward in seeing you this december!!!

Annoucement
This sat 22nov @ 1945hrs in church, we'll continue onto the second half of our neighbourhood (BLK --- to BLK ---). YEAH!
i am hereby inviting all of 'you' once again to participate with your cell groups (if you had not already joined us last sunday) and knowing that each and everyone of 'you' makes a difference.

This is what 'you' can do:
'you' can join us this sat
'you' can pray for us and the homes that we'll be blessing
'you' can do your part by inviting your beloved friends for the camp too
but
remember that 'you' can only do all things through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour

i'll see 'you' this sat and have a blessed week ahead!

Loving all of you reading this,
Camp Commandant

BYF!

Act 1:8 But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

We are called by God to be witnesses of His grace and glory manifest in Jesus Christ. Sometimes it is in the big ways like holding rallies and going on mission to remote places. Other times it is about the small little things we do, the things that touch or affects the course of another person's eternal destiny.

And that is where all of us come in. We are strongly encouraging you to bring your friends to FACT camp 2008~! (BYF) Let them come and experience the life changing power of God and the freedom it brings. Give them a chance to find the gift of eternal life!

You don't need to know the theologies of Christianity inside out. All you need is a simple faith and an undying passion to see your friends get saved. Its not just about choosing a religion when they fill in application forms, its about their name being in the Book of Life.

The time is now. Invite your friends!
