Morning prayer
(Bro. Herodes & Sis. Wai Ping)

In his sharing, he pointed out four things that we should give our best to God; 

i) mature faith (iman yang matang) - Hebrews 5:12

ii) body (tubuh) - Romans 12:1

iii) time (masa) - Ecclesiastes 9:10 

iv) heart (hati) - Mark 12:41-44, 1 Samuel 16:7

At 7.00 am, we had our breakfast which was prepared by brethren of TJC Keningau. 

We had our first and second lecture session by Pr. Zakharia. In the first session, he explained about "Busy" (Sibuk) as this year's bible camp theme was "Why Busy?" (Mengapa Sibuk?)

You have looked for much, and, lo, 

it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away.

Why? says the LORD of hosts.

Because of my house that lies in ruins, while you busy yourselves

each with his own house.

 (Haggai 1:9)

Pr. Zakharia giving lectures

In the second half session, Pr. Zakharia talked about Overcome Busyness (Mengatasi Kesibukan). 

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding  in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labour is not in vain. 
(1 Corinthians 15:58)

Even though we are all always busy with our lives, but we must always remember: 

i) to know the words of God (celik dengan Firman Tuhan)

ii) to look forward to the guidance of God (menantikan tuntunan Tuhan)

iii) to be obedient (taat)  

Moving on to the third and fourth sessions by Bro. Dudi Pan shared a topic about "My Time, God's Time" (Masa saya, masa Tuhan) 

Bro. Dudi Pan & Sis. Grace Chin
"Time is priceless"

Drawing your time you divide for each thing in your life

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. 
(Matthew 6:33)

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one ad despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
(Matthew 6:24)

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
(Matthew 22:37)

"God" centre of our life
(Hidup berpusatkan Tuhan)

The second game that we had was charades of bible stories. Every player trying their best to act out the given questions so that their group members are able to answer it.  Many funny actions were caught and silly answers were given :D

The team with the lowest mark had to perform a children action song ^^

The last activity we had was jigsaw puzzle. Each of us need to grab a piece of jigsaw puzzle. From the piece, we had to find friends that can match the whole picture of the puzzle. When the puzzle is completed, we found a new team. There were five puzzles which means five new groups. All the puzzles are depicted from the bible stories hence we had to act out the given story on the next day (Talent Night). Stay tuned!
