Last saturday MAPs organized a white water rafting trip in Sungai Kampar. There were 11 participants from SSMC (Sungai Way Subang Methodist Church). The river is a class 2/3 river which is a 15minute drive from the Gopeng Toll.
Here are some of the pics (note- the tougher bits have no photo evidence as the photographer was busy peddaling!)

Debriefing by the river side
We had a great time of debriefing and the particpants came back with many profound spiritual lessons from the rafting trip. Some of it:
"Rafting is like life. Some times it is smooth, sometimes it is rough... but we learn to cope with it"
"The rocks in the river is like temptation we face. Some are big and others hidden. It is the hidden ones that trip us more!"
"We learned to work together as a team and to look out for each other. Save those who fall out...you never know when you need saving yourself!"
"We get stuck (in the rocks) and often times our efforts to break free seem futile. But after pushing and trying hard, eventually we can!"
Praise God for the lives impacted!
