Stepping Up Together

Had church camp to Bukit Gambang, Kuantan during 10th to 12th June and water baptism on the 11th. The theme was "Stepping Up Together". Just one week before i agreed to go for water baptism, i fell sick. God somehow told me i will be sick, through a dream. The next day, i had fever and it continued for several days. My condition worsen a few days later, i had high fever with red spots and rashes on my skin. Then sisters from chruch brought me to the doctor to check if it was dengue. So i had my blood test done the next day and it wasnt dengue. Praise God! However, the rashes remained so the doctor suspected it could be some virus infection. But the sickness was left unknown. All i did was simply trusted God.

So on Friday, we headed to Kuantan. I was very excited because i was going for water baptism the next morning. The pastor briefed us about baptism and asked 3 questions before baptising us.

1. Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?
2. Are you willing to follow Jesus for the rest of your life? (couldnt really remember, but i think it's something like that ><)
3. If it is needful, would you die for the sack of Jesus?

Then we had praise & worship and teaching. God's presence was strong! Later in the afternoon, we went splash splash splash! Had a great time at the water park =D. But my limbs were still dotted with red spots and rashes. But that didnt bother me much because i know Jesus is my ultimate Healer!

Night time we had praise & worship and teaching again. God really moved me, i could sense His presence so close to us. After that was photo taking session. Hehe..SSC wore rainbow colours. Rainbow, representing God's promise. =)

The next day we had the last session of praise & worship and teaching. During breakfast, a sister came to me and checked if i was alright. Then to most of our surprise, my rashes were gone, completely! Praise the Lord! He is just so great!

Throughout this camp, i encountered God and got to know more brothers and sisters. I believe, stepping up together as one in Christ is just what we need to do.

Lord, i thank You for those that You have sent to care for me while i was sick. Thank You for this camp that we can gather and step up together to praise Your name. Help us to continue to have this kind of spirit to unite for Your glory. Be with us and anoint us to move for You. Thank You.

God is good, all the time! Spiritual warfare should not stop us to war for God. =)
