Aren't many of you excited that church/youth camp is less than one week from now?! Every year, we will be so fired up for God as well as grow in fellowship with one another after the camp. I'm sure this year will be no different especially when we have Pastor Chris Long as our camp speaker. There will be lots of exciting games coming out to test our strength and perseverance! Not forgetting free time for us to relax and enjoy! Woohoo!
Amidst of all these activities, it is also very important that we prepare our hearts well before we move up to the camp. In camps like this, it is a very good opportunity to really get some time out from the world and fully immerse ourselves into the fellowship with God as well as one another. However, if we go up with a sense of apathy, we will never benefit as much as we should at the camp.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Matthew 5:6
Let us use these few days before the camp to really seek God to tell Him what you want to achieve through this camp. As we thirst for God, I'm sure He will fill us. Let us prepare of our hearts and mind to experience a spiritual awakening through this camp. That after this camp, our lives will never to be the same again. It will be a time physical, mental and spiritual challenge for all of us as we strive for excellence in all we do.
Look forward to!:

This Week @ Detonate:
We are honoured to have Pastor Francis Chew to be with us this week to share with us even more about the excellences in our lives! Let's pray for a open heart to receive and attentive ears to hear. Make it a point not to treat this as just another saturday, but a day that God is gonna come with open heavens:) We will also join hearts in a time of intimate praise and worship with our God, our Light:) Do be here at earlier to join the Detonate body for a time of prayer. Let's come with such hunger and thirst as we lift up our cries to Him who is near to hear. Don't hesitate. We urge you to come. You never know what God can do when His people come together with one voice to pray. Expect more. Want more. 4 pm. The whole of 2nd floor Sunday School.
Prayers from the Body:
Do keep our camp committee in prayers as they continue to labour over the last few days. We know they have been going all out to let us enjoy to the maximum and planning through all the necessary details for us to have a relaxing and spiritually awakening time:) Do also pray for Meldred,Dan and Weston to trust in the Lord for their bosses to grant them leave to go for this church camp as it has not been approved. We trust God in all circumstances, He is ultimately in control.
We thank God for His presence and protection with Brother Zen throughout his operation. Brother Zen is now out of the hospital and resting at home. Do continue to keep him in prayers as he proceed on the recovery process. God indeed is faithful and will be with His people. May Brother Zen use this moment to glorify God and be His witness to many. We look forward to you joining us again bro!
It's a hair-tearing period for our poly students as they commit their time and efforts in revising for the common tests. Do uphold them in prayers amidst this busy period and we know God will honour all you guys who choose to honour God:) Yes, and a great break during the youth camp would be absolutely forward-looking so press on!
