The Youth Leaders we met at the Trip

The youth leaders that we met at the first camp and those that went to the two youth camps with us inspired us through their faith and passion. They wake up early and spend at least 2 hours doing their morning devotions. Their prayers were sincere and powerful and they knowledge of the Word of God is strong. They lived a simple peasant life. They sacrificed their education and youth for the sake of the gospel. They get ridiculed for what they believed in, but they all said that its worth is for the gospel’s sake. They sang their songs to God which seems to have deeper meaning for them than for us. Despite their personal problems they are thriving. I pray that they will succeed in bring the gospel to the whole of their great land.

When I returned to Singapore, I thought about my own life. I realized that the pursuit of the excesses in life is insignificant if God isn’t the foremost person we pursue. I have enjoyed much in life, they didn’t, but yet they are contented. I returned with a heart hungry to learn and eager to serve with all my heart like they did. Having lived, ate and walked with them for only 10 days, if I do not resolve to change my lifestyle and make the sacrifice to live a more holy life unto God, the trip would have been a wasted one.
