I have really learnt a lot from this camp, and I'm happy to say that I didn't regret coming to this camp at all. To tell the truth, I wasn't really interested in this camp when I first heard about it. I could think of a thousand "better" things to do during the holidays. But in the end, I still signed up for it, and I even brought a friend along.
Before the camp, I can say that I have almost lost my passion for Christ. Reading the bible was a chore for me and everything was beginning to get boring and tasteless. I guess that's one of the reasons why I would rather go watch a movie or "lepak" with my friends at 1U than go for a Christian camp. Nevertheless, it was God's grace that brought me to "Glamorous", and also brought me back to His side.
I can still remember the first day of camp, vividly. When I reach UCSI, I asked myself, "Chong Yan Chee, what are you doing here?" and I was both surprised and horrified to find out that I couldn't answer that question. Until the third day, when we were having praise and worship, there was this verse that said, "在我生命中,你是唯一的爱", when I sang that verse, God spoke to me and I just started crying. Yes, Lord, You are the only love in my life. Jesus is the ONLY one worth loving in our life, there is no one else in this world whom we can trust so fully as to give our hearts to Him. He is the only source of love, everything in this world seem miscellaneous compared to Him. At that point, I realised that I have been neglecting God and putting my heart into all the wrong places instead.
I really loved all the classes provided too, especially the public speaking one. Jeff chin was so funny and I picked up a lot of tips for public speaking from him. I even went to the front to tell my testimony on the last day of camp, and believe me, that requires a lot of courage.
Oh, my friend also liked this camp a lot. As she was from a Methodist Church, she wasn't really used to all the jumping and dancing during praise and worship at first. But in the end, she was influenced by our PASSION and joined in too. One of my friends also accepted Christ during the camp, and I really thank God for that.. I was so HAPPY!!!
As a conclusion, I am changed because of this camp, and yes, coming to this camp is the BEST thing I did during the holiday!
