Hi there! You guys must be wondering what I did in my very first mission trip. Basically, the team was there to inspire the youths in the church there to step out and be creative! And I believe they were!!! More than that, I managed to experience a breakthrough personally. Doing all these things were actually beyond my capabilities.
We're the 3rd and the last batch!! The team had 29 people!
On departure, I had a really bad headache. So bad that I felt nauseous! At that moment I was so so afraid that I would be sent home. But thankfully, I tahan-ed all the way!!! Not really seeking empathy but at the end of the camp, I suddenly thought of this moment... If I had went back home, I would have missed out on all the great things that happened!
We arrived really late at night. The next day, we went to their church and met up with the leaders of the church. They were so nice too! Celebrated Victoria, our team leader's birthday!
We were invited to perform an item for the children's church. So what else did we do?? Hi-5's Ready or Not!! The dances were great!! We managed to finish practising within an hour!
I LOVE the children's church there. So touched to see how open and excited the children always are. When I grew up in Sunday school, all these things did not happened :(
It was the time of the month. So they celebrated the birthdays of the children as well! :) And Victoria was included. Hahaha.
We also attended their young adult service on Saturday and 2 adult services on Sunday!!! Sheryne, my awesome friend shared her great testimony!! I was moved to tears everytime. Heehee.
After the last service on Sunday, we went over to the campsite!! I was a 2 hour drive, on the mountain. Cooling place! And the campsite is GREAT!! When we reached, the advance party were already there doing games with the campers!
At night, we had a great first session!
The next day of the camp, we conducted workshops for the campers. Like Shoe painting, fashion/modelling, percussion and drama. Of course, I was part of drama!!! Heehee. It was AWESOME because the campers really stepped out and tried the new and different things.
At night, we had the talent show and the 2nd night session!! As always, great sharing from Pastor Darren!!
Then, we had a camp fire!!! We were served corn too! YUMMY!
The next morning we had the final session. Sang "When You're Gone"... Emo song. Hahaha.
After the whole camp, we went to have head and shoulder massage!! It was good! For dinner we met the leaders. It was a great fellowship!
Pastor Ferry! The children's church pastor! Love him!
Last day we went to Mangga Dua from lil shopping. Didn't managed to buy much. Heh.
Phoebe was so nice to be there at the airport early! :D I love her!!
Phew!!!!!!!!! It was a great mission trip!!! I LOVE INDONESIA!
