Elvin Wong (UTM-CLC Core) - Finally I can ride bicycle for the 1st time in my life. Trying new stuff which many people are used to (cycling) is a new experience. Although was very down as I’m the only person who don’t know how to cycle but through the 2 days n 1 night of Adventure Camp, I finally can rejoice and be able to cycle together with other to and forth to our destination. Being on the bicycle for the 1st time was scary as balancing the bike and pedaling the bike at the same time is a hard thing. However, after some practice and with confidence, I manage to have my 1st bicycle experience.
Through this camp, there are few thing I’ve learn that can be applied to my current life. 1st is “Trust”. Without trust, nothing can be done together. Trusting the people and trusting ourselves is important but trusting God is the most important in life’s journey. There are up’s n down’s like the road of mountain biking. When we are going downhill, we felt relieve and easy as we don’t have to put much effort into our biking but when going uphill, we sometimes tense to give up when we felt difficult to pedal our bike to the top of the hill. By trusting God and never give up when facing difficulties, we are actually pedalling uphill with the strength of God. Trust God when thing get though for He has a better pasture for us over the hill that we are climbing.
2nd is “Faith”. By having faith, all things are possible. For impossible is mean in other word I M Possible. Through having faith in our instructor is important as having faith following God. Sometimes the activity or phases we went through might seem impossible or irrational yet by having faith in the instructor, we can accomplish what is seems impossible. Life’s journey always seems impossible yet if we have faith in God, all things will be slowly turning to possible.
3rd is “Hope”. In life we always are searching for something. During the solo hour of the camp, I saw a hill lit up with light while all other surrounding is dark. I began to think that hope is like the small light in the dark. If we reach for the light, we will gain the light. Same as if we have hoped to gain something better, we surely will gain it. Although sometimes darkness might seem bigger than the small light yet if we reach out in faith, trust n hope, the light will be as big as the dark.
Going to this adventure camp is a fun experience for me and enjoyable. Learn a lot of it and gain some new insight of certain things in either spiritual or physical. A refreshing camp to awaken certain sleepiness inside. May God continue to bless this ministry and hope will can be a volunteer if the heart is ready someday.
Yi Wen (UTM-CLC Core) – the program remind me that I am not a perfect man but God always take care about me, give me strength when I am weak. After go through the program, I realize that I still have many physical and spiritual weaknesses. MAPs has done a good job to serve us in this 2 days 1 night program. Facilities and equipments 100%, safety 100%, program flow 100%, transport 100%, campsite 100%. I feel all this is a perfect plan. Thanks.
Jessalynn (UTM-CLC Core Leader) – setbacks seem like me a lot and kept pestering me again and again but it reminds me again that human is limited, only our God is perfect. Talk about MAPs for more than one year but when I personally experienced how people share gospel through adventure program, I was impressed. This is not just a simple sharing but can be something impact in people’s life. From simplest games to the most challenging activity, I can see the effectiveness of sharing gospel through adventure program. I had quite 9 years didn’t swim already and have a little phobia with deep water which I cannot see the bottom of the water but this time I was asked to jump into the water. Of course there is fear, but when I’m willing to take up another step of faith, God lets me enjoy the activity in water much and overcome my fear which I never tell anybody ;) overall, I have witness how God has used MAPs in reaching out the lost to Christ kingdom effectively and creatively. May God continue to bless this ministry so that MAPs can be other people’s blessing too.
