moderated comments

this is juz a short and simple notice to inform u'all that the comments on this website (from now on) will be moderated... So do not be alarmed if you don't see your comments appear on this site instantaneously....
i've decided to moderate the comments, not so much coz of censorship or restricting the freedom of speech.... but mainly because i dun have too much time to return to the site [like] everyday to read thru' comments (if there'r any).... so i tawt, it'd be better to moderate comments - so that there would be less comment spamming & so that i can take a look @ the comment first, before posting it onto the public blog....

thanks for your support through'out the life-span of this camp blog-site... continue to look ahead to such things as the CLCN (ABC) camp... and this year's ypm camp 2006....

in His love & mine,
Amelia Tan

check it out!

now herein lies the true power of the social networking/ blogging/ podcasting phenomenon thatz "sweeping" thru the blogosphere, the Internet and even impacting corporations of all sizes...

i'm not too sure if/how this could work out... but do check out the comment that was left on this post - click here to go directly to the comment!

firstly, this comment was from one of the band members of 38 acres... whose music i "featured" in the video/podcast....
next, he suggests this really cool idea of having a competition and making arrangements to give away 38 acres cds as prizes... i will consult the other leaders in ypm and see how this can/could be done... (btw, if you're interested or not interested... leave ur comment by clicking the "comments" link for this post... and let me know what you'all think/want :)
And really, this is what blogging and podcasting is truly all about - CONNECTING PEOPLE and Forging Relationships....

so until next time,

tips video

this is a short video - again of Sentosa Island...
and some tips for how to use the camp blog-site, now that the camp is over....
so check it out here:
  1. Option 1: Windows Media .wmv file, smaller - 15MB... get it here!
  2. Option 2: MPEG format, bigger - 31MB... get it here!
the video is 6min long.

NB: this video was created before i made some modifications to the blog-site. In the video, i demonstrated clicking on the "Multimedia" link near the top of the page... That has since been changed into 2 sections: "Videos" (toc for camp-related videos) & "MFTC Audios" (toc for camp-related audios, mainly my "messages from the chair" pseudo-podcasts). Hope that would clarify some stuff... Please Feel Free to return to the blog-site and watch/listen to these multimedia files... Enjoy!

message from the chair #17

i've decided to make 2 versions of this last "message from the chair"...
an audio version (mp3 file, 8.7MB, 6min) ...
and a video version (mpeg file, 5.5MB, 4min)...

show description (for the video):
This is a short video - final Message from the Chair. There are some shots of Sentosa - can only see the Carlsberg Sky Tower. I share about "never being the same" after the camp.

show-notes (for the audio file):
i've finally posted and uploaded all the media files (audio/ video) and created a "contents page" of the links. Feel free to return to this site and listen/watch any of the media resources here.
the camp may be over, but letz not allow the work God has started in our lives during the camp END... we need to "never be the same" after encountering God at the ypm camp 2005. that, in my opinion, is what makes the camp successful...
i leave you now with the music from a CD by Tree63 - song entitled "I will never be the same". {this cd was a gift from Matthew, Uncle William & Auntie Evelyn - thanks for the cd. if you like the music, please support the artist and buy the cd.}

Camp Report

this is the report i prepared for our church magazine - the "shield of faith".

"But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." (Acts 20:24 NKJV)

That was the theme verse for the recent YPM Camp 2005: ReZolution. From 14 December to 17 December last year, 118 young people spent four days and three nights gathered at the Scripture Union Campsite in Sentosa.

YPM Camp 2005: ReZolution is in many ways a continuation of YPM Camp Revolution'04. We stayed at the same campsite, on the same dates (14-17 December) and on the same days (Wednesday to Saturday).

One highlight of the camp was the games. Like the previous camp, we went to the beach (Palawan Beach) near the campsite for games. However, we also went to different parts of Sentosa on the second day for station games. Overall, campers were able to have fun and bond as teams during the games. This culminated on the third day where groups played against one another in a series of war games.

Another highlight of the camp was the worship during services. Anointed worship leaders and teams of music ministers led campers into a heart-felt worship, worshiping God in the beauty of His Holiness. Although some of the air-conditioners in the main hall were not working, it did not bother campers much – they kept on worshiping God.

Pre-service prayer was a significant and instrumental component to create an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit could move in and throughout all the services. During ministry time and altar calls, groups of young people would pray for one another, out of their own initiative.

The camp speaker, Ng Chye Aik, shared openly with great transparency from his own personal life, struggles et al, thus presenting an honest and real representation of the true Christian walk. He encouraged the campers from the first message on Wednesday evening which challenged young people to walk in freedom with God to the final message on Saturday morning which commissioned young people to "plant a flag in their schools for Christ".

The camp theme was directed at calling a new generation of youths to rise up and fulfill their potential and purpose in Christ. Throughout the camp preparation process, we could see new leaders rising up. Among the group leaders and assistant leaders, there were some who had opportunity to experience serving in such roles for the first time. We also organized a t-shirt design competition, to involve YPM-ers in the designing of the camp t-shirt. Eventually, one winner was selected. The camp t-shirt was designed by one of our secondary school students, Lydia Yang. This camp was also her first time attending the YPM Camp.

The theme of the camp was ReZolution. It is my desire that all campers will make the resolution to know Christ and to make Him known – that they may find ways to apply the lessons that they learned during the camp into their daily lives throughout this year.
