Jurong Youth Ministry

HI!! this blog needs a NEW post! like seriously!! So Here I Am, hero fatfish to the rescue! haha, i shall do a little update on what’s been going on these few weeks.

Well… we had a combined cells outing to Sentosa (where the sun always burns) and that was kinda fun although the hot sun was not fun at all. and then in late april / early may, Pastor Mark Finley from GC came over to hold a series of Evangelistic meetings here in Singapore. Ultimately, it culminated in a baptismal service that saw a total of 52 people getting baptised. WOAH! That’s a whole lot of dunking! I had never before seen so many people get dunked in one sitting. haha. So here’s some pics from Sentosa that I dug up. AND YOU!! If YOU’RE reading this and you attend Jurong youth activities, we want YOU to help blog! like seriously. haha! contact me or pk then we can get you started =) i’m sure i’m one of the world’s best bloggers but its nice to share the limelight, eh? haha… you know i’m just kidding!

here’s a shot of the group games, where we had to shut our eyes (on fear of getting slimed by half-rotten bananas and who-knows-what) and let the leader direct us past booby traps of other unmentionables. ewww..

i actually think this photo has a very idyllic quality. just imagine: tropical music playing in the background. and a voice-over going: “the beach is just nice, your friends are here basking in the glorious sun,” then i go, “so where the bl**dy h*ll are you??”  hahahaha yeah i’m perfect for the role! tourism sentosa goooo!

and to round off the post, here’s a nice group photo with the people who went, posing with the screaming head popping out of the sand. awesome shot!! take care guys~ praying for you all this week

Hehe for fear of lagging any more than I already am, here’s about Survivor Day 1!!

First met up early early in the morning in church to run around being happy and to wait for the bus to arrive, to take us to the ferry terminal. For some reason everyone but me managed to bring really tiny bags (ie: no larger than a backpack)!!

And so we were split into 2 busloads and partnered in 2’s and 3’s, so if we lose someone the lost someone would have another lost someone to talk to while being looked for. After getting there and being assigned our rooms, we put down our stuff and were split into 2 groups (red and yellow), then started cooking maggi mee in the bbq pit with mass tins!! Okay, from my team mostly Wayne and Shannon gave instructions while we all followed and fanned the pit with all our might, because nobody else has experience with it

It was the best maggi mee ever.

Made the team flag after lunch with sticks and markers. Salamanders VS the LCJS!

After that it was time for games!

First off wrote our team names on a big piece of cardboard, then cut it up into little pieces. Then proceeded to me (for my team, who was yelling for the other team..??) screaming my lungs out to my blindfolded team members who had to run around half-cocked (literally!) looking for the little pieces and putting them together. And Salamanders won! Yay us!

After that, went to the chess grounds and played King’s Checkers (Yellow won!), then went to the courtyard for a game that was kind of like a relay race, except it involved spinning around with a hula hoop and SEARCHING FOR A TINY ROCK IN A BOX OF MEAL WORMS BLINDFOLDED (so sad can’t find the pictures of worms!!!!!). So we got gloves, but that doesn’t stop you from FEELING THE WORMS THROUGH THE THIN PLASTIC AHHHH!!!!!

Went back for dinner with more maggi mee, had cold showers, threw chopsticks and broken matchsticks around the table, played cards, and then it was time for the first tribal council! Gathered up group and Salamander flag, then trooped up to the tribal council area on the hill (so grand!). Candles were lit all around and we played Truth or Dare while people went through to the back to vote on the most helpful team member…

The first day was super fun all over with thanks to Christon, the planning team, and all the people who attended <3

After so long, I was able to get my password back from wordpress. Geez’ums, wordpress is demanding.

Okay, I’m here to blog about Cell 2(and ZM)’s trip to Pitstop before Christon kills me for more late work. Hehe. I don’t have all the pictures yet, but I’ll post the best ones as soon as I get my hands on them.

On the third of April, that’s Thursday, Cell 2 met up for one of the coolest cell outings ever. A few of us had a bit of trouble getting there dry and on time. It was raining and it was a weekday after all. However, none of us got lost and we all got there at around 7 eventually, which is actually saying something because for once nobody was more than an hour’s late.

Well. The narrow staircase looked like you were about to ascend into some strange little store room with lots of mice and enough space for you to put your toe into one of the mouse-traps, then make yourself go deaf by screaming too loudly in an enclosed space, but then like magic, the room the door opened into was large, airy, and pretty. I told you it was magic.

I think the walls were red, but then you couldn’t really tell anyway, because whatever wall space they had was plastered over with layers of memories and notes in the form of permanent marker and photographs. And they had this giant shelf in the corner full of ubercool obscure boardgames that made me drool.

The games we played in order were.. Okay fine, actually I hardly remember the title of the games itself. The first game was something to do with dinosaurs and cards. And that’s where my memory goes haywire, because that’s when the food comes in. I bet none of you can remember either. Anyway, in the end we made a lot noise playing some hybrid-type game that was a cross between heart attack and cards; another that required us to use both our left brains and our right brains (and we all know who rocks best at that, don’t we?); and one that made us do animal sounds.

Beep beep!

Where else can you play board games, scream, eat, and be cool all at the same time?

Title: Stir

You belong here, everyone’s invited
You can’t fail here, ’cause we can’t fail united
It’s safe to be yourself here
And it’s time to go beyond here

We’ve got life to give,
So why don’t we do what we we’re saved for
Come along, why don’t we stir?
You know you and I could do so much more together
We are the new at heart, so why don’t we stir?

We are strong here, but weakness is for certain
To show our love here, we share each other’s burdens
We don’t mind,”cause there is nothing left to fear
And Love divine is calling us out from here…

We are salting, lighting
We refresh like raining
We are love remaining
And we’ve got…

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That’s leading me
To the place where I find peace again. You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose…you’re everything. How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this? You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won’t let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now? How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this? Cause you’re all I want, You’re all I need
You’re everything,everything
You’re all I want your all I need
You’re everything, everything.
You’re all I want you’re all I need.
You’re everything, everything
You’re all I want you’re all I need, you’re everything, everything. And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this? How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
