FOCUS camp

oh man. this blog is so outdated.
keeping things short.
went for FOCUS camp last last weekend. 28th till 30th sept.
the church we stayed in was a lil run-down, with only a bathroom for 28 peeps. interesting. BUT, there's a judebox, a table tennis table, a soccer table and of course, bedrooms and a kitchen. it's not too bad. the location is good. the marinas was within 5mins walk. we could see the night scenery of nelson bay. woohoo.
I had A-L-O-T of fun hanging around with FOCUS peeps. interesting ppl. very.
the talks were great. although i was falling asleep.....
we talked about 'The Bible Overview". Dene printed out a copy of the complete picture of what the bible is all about.

Adam and Eve= Creation
Fall of Creation
Forming Babel
Pledge (Promise from God) to Abraham
Moses (saving Exodus from slavery)
David the King with the promised land, law and prophets
Exile
LIFE OF JESUS
DEATH OF JESUS
RAISING OF JESUS
Pentecost
RETURN OF JESUS
New Creation

that was the main stuff but there're lots more. Rachel talked about serving in the ministries. hopefully i would be able to help out in FOCUS in any ways.
well, i kinda missed my bed back in camp but many things kept me back.
-we went to one mile beach and played beach soccer. (i scored 3 goals, all thanks to the guys from my team! esp lake as he pointed to me to stand near the goal. great team work!)
-we had night walks to the marinas and beach. cold and windy but very good conversations with fellow FOCUS ppl.
-we had a bbq on the last night. the walk to the pit was frightening. no lights at all. but had good talks with peeps.
-we had a games' night. played charades and many others. my team didnt lose or win. well, at least we manage to survive.
-we played mafia. had miscommunication though. i realised mafia can be quite frustrating to play.
-we had very nice muffins. not the sweet ones. the ones you find in McD. you know, McMuffins?
one last thing, everyone kinda bonded real well. and we're back home in one piece.
Thank God for everything!
