YF Camp 2007

I have to admit that this years YF Camp was one of the more memorable ones in recent history. There's quite a few factors, in my mind, which make for a good camp: the camp site, the speaker, the bible studies/groups...to name a few. This year was a great mix of all of them. The talks were challenging and clear and people seem to have been moved to greater depths in their faith. There appears to be much fruit appearing from the camp, so the next few weeks will be crucial in our follow up of the many people who came - particularly the 20 odd non-Christians!

For now, here are some photos from the weekend away :)

Sunset on the Friday afternoon...wow...

The face of a man who cannot handle chilli but has swallowed a tablespoon's worth of Sambal...on a bet!

Sunrise over the dam. 5:30am in the middle of winter was surprisingly warm!

This is my Pastor/Trainer...

The beginning of a love affair...Mikey and the drums that is...

Alvin's baptism...the look on his face screams out, 'Wait! I think I've changed my mind!!'

Not stretching, a friendly game of 'pull-the-string-tucked-into-your-pants'

The best jook breakfast at camp ever!

Sleeping arrangements: because each cabin had a separate 'leaders' room, Steph and I were able to share the same room. But it was in the girls dorm. These were the girls who were 'next door'...

Tim, Michael (camp speaker), and Ping. Separated at birth?

110 people at camp. Another great one to remember :)

And here's a slide show with more pictures and a cool tune. Enjoy :)

I had a pretty amazing time. When I found out YF is usually only 40 people or so and then over a hundred people turned up with over 20 not-yet-Christians! What a privilege to bring God's word!
