DAPHNE CASSANDRA NG

YOUTH CAMP 2007
STUCKS IN THE SHADES (13th-16th Dec)
DAY 0-SPIRITUAL PREPARATION
All the youth camp committee members,facilitators and helpers all came one day earlier to be prepared spiritually for the start of the youth camp the next day. Spiritual preparation was led by Cassandra and Ligna. Actually before i start sharing about how God touch me on this day, i wanna say that i was kinda of reluctant to go for the camp actually, i dont know but i didnt feel right to go for this youth camp as a facilitator. But on this day when we were having spiritual prep and when Cassandra asked us to choose someone and share about what is holding us back and what are the fears that we have that is stopping us to serve. The first person that comes to my mind was Joanna. I shared with her how are my feelings and that i was reluctant to go for this camp, finding it hard to go back to God again and i was telling her about the gift that God had given to me also.. Then we prayed for each other. After that the session continue and on this very night i received a GIFT OF TOUGUES from God. I duno what happen but i started to speak in tongue and my mouth just could not stop saying words that i dont understand. I was quite scared actually. And this is my second gift from God that i have received.
DAY 1-
On this day is where to participate arrived. My group facilitators were me,Terence Stanley and Melvyn Vernon. Participant in my group were Veronica, Joel Er, Augustine, Emmaunel and Colette. I duno why but i kinda of fall sick during this day. But i told myself no matter what happens i wanna attend all the camps and activities that has been lined up.
DAY 2-
The part that struck me most for this day was the night session where the youth were being prayed over and asking them to surrender to God. I didnt get to sit in the worship session but i was in the powerhouse praying for the youth. It was my first time attending a powerhouse and praying. At first i didnt know what to expect. But all i can say is that the powerhouse thing was great we were all in deep worship and deep in prayers. Some people could see angels wings, some could feel and know pacifically which youth needs prayers and etc....... Its was really powerful. After the hall session ended the powerhouse people still could not stop worshipping and singing. We were all in deep deep worship and we seriously cant stop. My first experience in this powerhouse was really great and i hope there is more to come.
DAY3-
It was the last day of camp. We had group affirmation, mass affirmation and testimonies. Eh........on the mass affirmation i felt the urge to go and share my testimonies. But i was hesitating at first because i was scared. I am afraid to share infront of a big group of people. I did not have the courage. Then i turned back where i was sitting and told Aaron Chua i want to share but i am afraid. Then Ben Long heard and gave me a bible verse about testifying God to the people without any hesitants. When i read that passage i started to tear and ponder on the passage. Then after that i decided to share my testimonies. After sharing i feel so much better and i could feel the "at ease" feeling. Youth camp ended of with a party for the youth.

We call ourselves balls,shaded balls
Shaded ball. balls (x3)

eXcess CAMP 2007 (17th-19th Dec)
DAY 1-
Camp started at 2pm. We were broken up into groups and i was in the same group as Eugene, Chris,Dwayne,Kevin and Amanda. My leaders attached to my group for sharing is Melvin,Ben and Julia. On this first day of camp we started of with games led by Edward Chia. Hehe and i seriously have to say all the games planned were quite creative. After the games we had session 1 led by Ben on Humility.
DAY 2-
On this 2nd day the session that touches me the most was the session by Melvin and Nicholas. The session was so powerful that i could feel the Holy Spirit and God with me support me and talking to me. At first we were asked to write what are the things that are holding us back to serve God and how are we going to face it? I wrote 3 things that actually were holding me back.

First: Was not being able to step out of my comfort zone to share with people in a big group.
Second: Not being forgiving. (Weakest Humility)
Third: Doubting God in my life sometimes.
We were asked to write and put it in a basket which was provided in the front of the crucifix and everyone was suppose to pick one and pray with the person you draw. So first i drawed Chris paper and i prayed for him. Then Melvin drew mine. I felt so touched when Melvin was praying for me because whatever he was saying to me was the things that were running inside my head. Being courageous and all . I was so touched that i started crying non-stop because i could feel this love that i never felt so strong before. I thank God for sending Melvin to pray for me. Melvin also told me that the cell leaders planned to send me to SGH that night because of my swell at my left shoulder. And secondly it was Ben who prayed for me and later was Joanna. Actually before Joanna walked to me and approached me i was crying while reflecting on my life and all. How am i a bruden to the people around me because of my sickness and all. Then when Joanna walked up to me and told me she want to pray for my illness and all i was so shocked. Because its like God sending people into my life and giving me comfort when i needed it. I got slain after that.......when i got up i felt so relax and renewed............Then i decided to go and sit with Veronica. I have to say this night session was really great.
DAY 3-
Today marks our last day of camp. Some of us were in the retreat house for like 7-6days and some were there for 3days.....Anyway we woke up at 9am and had our breakfast. After that we had a session led by Edward Chia on the trees and the branches....Its about a community and personal bonding and growth. After that we had a reflection by Jude and after that was a mass affirmation. I had many people to affirm but there was not enough time. So i guess i am going to affirm on the excess forum later. Anway i wanna thank Joanna for affirmming me...she is the one and only one in the eXcess who actually affirmed me. So thanks alot girl at first i thought no one would say anything to me. Maybe cause i have not touch their life yet except you Jo..............Anyway, The camp ended at 2pm.

AFTER BREAKING CAMP
Took a cab home with Joanna and Nicholas. First we told the taxi driver that we wanted to go 3 venues...But in the end we all headed to Joanna house, because Joanna some help to carry logistic stuff and Joanna also decided to follow me to A&E at SGH for my left shoulder injury which was there for the past 3days.
After Joanna reached home, she spoke to her big big for like 5 mins and later we set off together. Nicholas headed home. Me and Joanna went to SGH.
When we reached there. They asked for my temperature and my symptoms and after that i was being allocated to the isolation fever zone session. Haiz. Actually i was quite scared because it was my first time to the A&E. We waited for quite long to see the doctor because there were people in front of my who were more serious than mine. After waiting for like 45 mins or so i went in to see the doctor said i had a VIRUS ATTACK that actually caused my shoulder to swell, and after that i had a jab on my left arm. I seriously have to say the pain was very very pain i never had this kind of feeling before whenever i took a jab. This is the worst one. After the medication was being jabbed in my whole left hand could not move till the tip of my fingers. I nearly cried by luckily i could control. Jo was quite worried when she saw me in pain, patches of redness were seen on my hands also we suspected a allergy reaction, so we decided to ask the doctor again.A student nurse gave me a cold compress to apply on my hand and i had to stay there for quite sometime for observation. I wanna thank Jo for helping me so much and praying for me when she saw me in great pain. I really wanna thank her. THANKS JO!!!!
About 45 min later the redness slowly disappeared but the swell was still there. And its a BIG BIG swell. But luckily i was able to be discharge. I dont know but alot of people say my condition is serious especially when its a VIRUS ATTACK that makes my LEFT SHOULDER SWELL.
I reached home at about 9.45pm yesterday. Thanks Joanna and Eugene for sending me home. And making sure i take my medications and bathe before they leave my house. Thanks :)
The 2 person that i really wanna thanks alot is Jacqueline and Joanna. I am so sorry to make you both so worried for me....SORRY!!!!
Anyway thank Godsis for calling me and checking me on my condition everyday without fail while i was in camp. And Joanna for taking care of me throughout this 1 week camp and following me to the hospital after we break camp despite her tiredness. Thanks Girls :) Love you both :) Haiz i hope i can recover soon. Its been more than a week that i am sick already :)
