Hey guys! Guess what. I'm back from Stand camp! Woohoo!!! It was seriously awesome. We did tons of crazy stuff and stayed up all night and made tons of new friends.
And this camp was wayyyyy more laid back than all the previous camps. I mean, last year at VS Camp we had to eat worms and stand in the hot sun for half an hour without moving and stuff. This year we hardly did anything. We just kinda mooched around :D
But I think the most important bit of it all is I've never felt closer to God than i have before. It was amazing. Almost all the sessions i broke down and cried when they gave altar calls. I mean, God's presence was just so powerful during the camp and I'm sure many other people felt the same way. And the whole camp was about taking a stand for God in our daily lives, which i feel so empowered to do right now. It really was awesome
And our guest pastor was none other than Pastor Samuel Phun, who has been to jail before, has pushed people of buildings, has been involved in homosexual experiences etc. I think he might have killed people before too, but he didn't say. Anyway, his life was so transformed by God, he became a full-time pastor about 22 years ago. Now he's married and has 2 sons. And he must be the only pastor in the world who drives a chopper (you know, those big bikes that look like Harleys?). He even still LOOKS gangsta. He came to camp with bermudas, sneakers, blonde hair with a beanie with sunglasses on it. LOL
What a cool pastor.
Anyway, camp was really awesome. I'm the sort of guy who never picks up the bible, but after camp I seriously started reading my Bible just last night. Pastor Sam addressed alot of issues that can relate to us as teenagers and how we lead our daily lives. I like the way he put it. He said, we are always Christians first and students second. So yea. Which is what I'm going to try to do next year.
And I also made tons of new friends and made better friends with some older friends. Sharon, Kate, Ivan, Nick, Tiffany. Kenneth, Danie, Mitch, Debbie, Ho Chih Ming (thats also a city in Vietnam), Kit Soon, Joshua and Joshua. It was really great.
Yea. So church camp was really really good. I hope that next years one will be even better.
BYEBYE Y'ALL
