On 9th Aug to 10th Aug our church had our annual church camp at Damai Puri, a seaside resort about 35 KM from Kuching. On the morning of 9th Aug 2013, all partcipants gathered at our chruch building to start the event. From our church many of us participated in a treasure hunt going from Kuching to Damai beach where the hotel is located. On the way we had to stop in various spots to locate what we were suppose to locate as instructed in the rules of the treasure hunt. Thank God that the weather was fine and there was no rain. On the way there we passed by Pasir Panjang beach resort which is very beautiful. Many of our members have not been there before, so that was an adventure for us. Most participants reached the hotel around 1 pm.
By 1.30 pm our first seminar started. This year we had Bro. Bernard Chan from Sinapore. He is into family mentoring and discipleship training. Our camp main theme was "Discipleship" so his talks were appropriate. The first session lasted until 4.00pm. At 4.30pm four members of our church were baptised in the hotel pool. Bro.Neslon, his wife Sis. Hwei Choo, Bro. Andy, and Sis. Nancy were baptised in the pool witnessed by members of our church. Bro. Nelson and Sis Hwei Choo attended Senior Alpha last year. Thank God for their salvation!
We had our dinner just outside the resort. There is a commercial building just outside the hotel where we had our dinner. This place is also near to the beach, and its surrounding was very pleasant.
The the evening we had another session starting from 7.30pm to 10pm. By then many were exhausted, but some fellowshiped till the early morning.
The following day our last session started at 10am and ended at 12 noon.
the message from Bro Bernard was encouraging especially the subject of community in a church and how we can foster closer relationships with one another in our church. Praise God for a fruitful church champ! Hallelujah! Praise God!
