My Prayer

YZ camp 2010 is four days away. Thinking back to the first quarter of 2010, I had great and high hopes for the camp. Looking at the team, I thought it'll be an awesome camp - a camp God will use to change YZ. After all the months of preparation and hard work, I still had a good feeling about the camp.

A month ago, I was certain that even if the numbers would be smaller than previous camps, I would be okay with it. But last week, I heard the numbers were small. And I was disappointed! What if there are too little people for God to touch? What if the camp really is not as fun as previous camps and people want to leave? And on top of that, there seemed to be more and more stuff undone. Somehow I began to doubt the camp and God's ability to use the camp to work in YZ.

But God is good. He "slapped" me with His word and through people. He reminded me that He is faithful and He loves His children. He is more concerned about the camp than I am. So who I am to worry about the numbers or worry about how the camp would work out? All we can do is to do our part in preparing our hearts and the technical stuff for camp. Then all we need to do is to commit the camp into His hands and let Him do what He does best.

So my prayer for camp now is that God will speak to all the campers through the speaker and that God will move the hearts of His children. My prayer is that the camp comm will be encouraged by God's presence ad His working through our hard work and our service.
