Words from head of camp comm... to YOU

This should not sound like a Foreword to a book.

All because –

I am definitely NOT an expert in doing this, NOT an experienced writer.

I wrote no article to any newspaper column, no FOREword or Editor’s Note for HERWORLD or JUICE. I only write one-sentence memo in office (e.g. I am in the gents, etc)

Having reminded myself all these, however, it does not at the least bit dampen my excitement to begin writing about our upcoming camp.
----------
Let me start by telling you my wonderful committee.

Eugene Phang, he is an excellent brother, co-leading this camp with me. He has great planning and organizing skills and excellent yet humble to serve us. By the way, he loves hard pearl. The harder the tastier for him.

Programming, the creative and wacky Pei Key and Chris Goh.

Hospitality, the gentle and welfare-y Maggie and Eugene Tan.

Publicity, the no-bad-idea Sarah and Priscilla.

Ushering, the “siao” (smile in Chinese) team, Joseph and Sharmaine.

Media, the sure-delivery Meng Chong and Irene.

Logistics, the die-hard Jun Qiang and Yee Cheng. They went survey the camp coach waiting area and just to draw a map out for ensure good boarding sequence.

Workshop, the one-man Kevin. But he is a cool about having no one else beside.:p
----------------------------------------------

The whole committee is very excited about the camp. The planning was not easy, the selection of hotel, the camp fee negotiation, etc. BUT we felt God's favour is with us.

We wanted a strategic location and comfortable accommodation.

Strategic location because we want our campers to ease their planning for post-camp and pre-camp tour.

Comfortable accommodation because comfort is important. We teach not a persecuted or enduring church this time.

With our criteria in our mind, all the committee went 2 recee trips to KL, Melaka, Port Dickson on 2 Saturdays. We rushed back to S'pore for Sunday Services.

Equatorial Melaka showed up top in our search list. A 5-star hotel standing in the hub of Melaka City. Melaka City, 2-hr drive from KL and 3.5-hr from the Republic.

It is a business hotel “confronted” by a brand new shopping mall housing more than 30 (if not more) retail shops. No easy temptation for sisters and shopper brothers to “ponteng” camp.

Just few minutes away are many tourist’s attractions, A Famosa, Ruins of Saint Paul Church, the famous Chendol selling Jonker’s street, etc, you name it you have it

Equatorial Melaka is such cool place for our camp! Praise the Lord!



We also want every adult to come for the camp.

Because the camp is for ALL HOPE ADULTS to meet HIM in a deliberately set-apart manner!

Equatorial Melaka can house everyone of us. Even NEW and PRE-BELIEVERS.

We prayed for last Christmas and now Easter that WE would harvest plentifully. We scared NOT lack of space. We dare say and challenge any DISTRICT to bring all NEW BELIEVERS and PRE-BELIEVERS.

We will have enough rooms and big enough hall for YOU!

SO Register yourself late NOT.

As our buzz word goes, “BE an Effective christian, sign up early.”

Excited to seeing YOU in a great camp!
