METAMORPHOSIS 2007!!!! (26-28 Dec) At Faith Methodist Church

METAMORPHOSIS 2007!!!! (26-28 Dec) t Faith Methodist Church
Just came back from an awesome campus crusade conference!Just a sharing...i was actually not like VERY excited for meta when it drew nearer as i was quite tired from all those camps and retreats that i have been attending in december. But at the end of DAY 1... i was so refresh! And like what The crusade directer said, this conference is like a WATER BREAK! and indeed it was! I really got a lotttttttttt of spiritual feeding! And i really mean a lot! =)
Some of the pre-service activies...(and random photos)...

(the meta brochure!.......................GEN12ii mission trip statistic for 2007!)

(interview with mongolian crusader... Jacob! in one of the pre service activities!)


(2 wonderful emcees!)

(The models for those workshops! Jem and Nick...........Hazel and wanting)

(saw this SP cruasder with a TEDDY BEAT! heh!)
Grp times at Level 3 carpark!


(CG 40!... thats our grp number!)

(a scene of some of the TRP crusaders during sharing time..really glad to meet many new crusaders here...especially those from RP)


(the level 3 carpark where all the grps gathered for CG time and EATING TIMES!)

(we had some time of awesome praise & worship between TRP crusaders! during grp time)


Key Sermons!
PASTOR ANDREW..aka Gangster pastor! from Andrew and Grace Home!
(pastor Andrew told us to life our bibles!)

Pastor Andrew aka the GANGSTER Pastor really is one UNIQUE pastor! He preach in a very unorthodox manner, but his message really was brought across in a very short and sweet very straight forward manner. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY pastors preach like the way he did! Was kinda stunt at the start by his jokes, but it was really good message in the end.

( the girls from the home which did a percussion act for us)

Keynote speaker( Dr Dave Park)
Remember i once shared on my blog abt this particular speaker
Glen Berteau who spoke at the Ignite conference 2007, and i claim he was the MOST FUNNIEST PREACHER of ALL TIME!Well............. i just found someone who was JUST AS FUNNY as that preacher! and he is none other than DR DAVE PARK...he is formerly Director of Freedom in Christ Youth Ministries, is Founder and President of His Passion Ministries. He speaks internationally to youth leaders, parents and young people. With Neil Anderson(im doing a devotional by this guy currently), he co-authored several books, including Stomping Out The Darkness and the bestselling The Bondage Breaker Youth Edition.

Anyway his message really was very veryyyyy FUNNY! The entire meta conference cldnt stop laughing at his very funny stories which actually link very well with his sermon. And he really is a veryyyyyyyyyy good impersonator, he cld impersonate so many characters like sean connery and kermit the frog extremely well! REALLY LIKE THE REAL THING!

Something i wld like to share here was... at the end of the final nite..there was an altar call for those who wants to be called in to FULL TIME MINISTRY... and you know somehow...the calling for me into this area is slightly stronger than before, even Gladwin was talking to me abt this a couple weeks ago. And to admit, if i compare serving GOD FULL TIME or working in the market place.. i wld outright say I HAVE SOOO MUCH MORE PASSION and JOY serving in his ministry! But then at the same time.. i dunno if my flesh is saying this, or im compromising or maybe this might be another calling..... i somehow feeel i wld like to be in the working world for awhile at least to experience it and reach out to the market place instead and at least i can be a testimony out there and experience the same thing as others. So actually theres pros on both side... but im still praying abt it..anyway during that altar call... i dunno why.. but i kept SHAKING VERY VIGOROUSLY as i asked God if it was my calling to go up. I dunno if bcoz it was cold! but i had soooo much thoughts in my mind at that time...abt going into minstry... but i dunno if it was my own thought or really God telling me to go for it...so i asked God..."if its your will for me to do Full time...i wld like to hear a "YES!" ... i was somehow hoping i cld hear the same voice i heard the last time..but well...no real AUDIBLE VOICE... but the thoughts abt going into minstry keep coming in...so i wasnt very sure to commit to that altar call yet..thus i didnt go for it.. but this is something which i will continue to pray abt!

Tuesday (CHRISTMAS DAY)
Sorryy God's clay for pang sehing u guys for my camp grp SINAI!...well i guess for now my reason to spend time with my camp grp more was bcoz there were many young christians and a couple of new believers, thus i felt since im given the chance to be with them now, i believed its chances like this where i can minister to them and at least be accountable to them to some extend.

Anyway had a nice time with them after service! Hang out at dhoby ghaut!

(wei ian had to do a forfeit "cat walk"...)



(Our legs............everyone talking photos of sam doing a forfeit..)



(sam,sarah elliot and me suddenly laid on the floor and took our pictures from the reflective mirror on the ceiling)

Watch I am Legend! Pretty slow show...will give only 2.5/5 stars for me...imagine 3/4 of the show only one man talking to himself or his dog...how SLOW can that be
