Holy Spirit Weekend

Yo yo yo! We've been sooooooooooooooooo busy we haven't had the chance to post something decent here, but .. doesn't mean it's not active! Well.. it's been a busy few months for us, so let us blog about something cool..

First up was the recent concluded Holy Spirit Weekend that we held in CCL. Jonathan was the speaker and as ever, he's a fun guy to have and to share God's Word with us. But the chief guy for the weekend has to be the Holy Spirit (I mean, we do name the weekend after Him, don't we?)In the 3rd session, when Jonathan prayed and invited the HS to come, boom... what an awesome presence that was. People were touched, tears flowed, hurts were healed, it was so amazing. Even when we finished, I was like stunned, I just wanted to sit there and soak in that atmosphere! Whew... thank you HS for that powerful visitation. Amazing, amazing time. And as a leader, I expected to pray for the youths, I didn't expect to be prayed for but God, he always has something for everyone there. There was a word for me, that really spoke to my heart and caused me to break down and rejoice at the same time. God, you are awesome! Thank you.

The next best thing was that we invited 5 friends to join us during this one day camp. Matthew brought his cousins and a classmate, Adriel brought his classmate too (or is it schoolmate) and Jared brought himself and his classmate, hehe. Alpha is really a great opportunity to invite friends to join in our activities. When we attended the Leaders Training, they told us that if you run Alpha 9 times and nothing happens, then perhaps you should run something else. I can personally say for CCL youths, this is the 2nd year we ran Alpha and we can already see a difference! The way we brought friends, everyone was so sporting and enjoying themselves. God is so good.
