22/03/2008 青团禁食祷告。

2008-03-21T08:21:00.000-07:00

22/03/2008 青团禁食祷告。建议是十二个小时，或你们参考以下并承担自己所能的。

祷告时项：
- 感谢神。
- 为个人的灵命祷告。
- 寻求神得指引。（圣灵带领你的方向）
- 为马来西亚祷告（国家政治，新领袖，人民百姓）
- 为教会（各支派[BB,MYF,MWF,LCEC,SUNDAY SCH]，为弟兄姐妹和睦的心，为失散的灵魂，新会所）
- 为自己的家庭，家人，求神怜悯。

怎样开始禁食祷告
你能否成功地完成禁食，与你怎样开始禁食有着重大的关连。以下是白立德博士所分享的七个步骤，请按圣灵的带领去祷告，并在开始之前作好以下准备：

★步骤一：订立您的目标
为何禁食？是为属灵的复兴？得着指引？还是祈求加倍的恩典去处理一个困局呢？祈求圣灵带领你的方向。

★步骤二：作出承担
禁食祷告会持续多久呢？(一餐／一日／数天／一星期)
你会以哪一种方式禁食？(喝水／喝果汁)

★步骤三：预备好自己的心灵
祈求神帮助你作一张彻底列出自己过犯的清单
开始禁食前，要有一颗满有盼望和信靠的心
不要低估属灵上的攻击，撒旦有时会在你禁食的过程中加剧肉体与圣灵的争战(加5:16-17)

★步骤四：在身体上作好准备
开始禁食前应进食较少食物
在禁食过程中只可作轻量的运动
要对暂时性的精神不安有心理准备

★步骤五：为自己订下时间表
独个儿找一段时间寻求神的面
若有其它人同时进行禁食，可与他们一起同心祷告

★步骤六：逐渐停止禁食
长时间禁食后，不宜立刻进食大量食物和喝奶类饮品
待身体机能逐渐恢复正常后才可如常进食东西

★步骤七：期待结果
若你诚心谦卑、祷告寻求主面，您将会大大经历神的同在，并得着更深的属灵体验！

在禁食祷告的初期，你或会感到十分肚饿，很想进食。你可以求神的恩典帮助你渡过这段时间，让你能专心祷告和在禁食祷告后有力量继续你日常的工作。

属灵争战棗禁食祷告

"操练身体，益处还少。惟独敬虔，凡事都有益处。因有今生和来生的应许。"（提前4：8）

禁食祷告是基督徒从神支取能力的重要途径之一，在圣经中有多处记载关于禁食祷告的教导。

旧约的《以斯帖记》，就记载了以斯帖及犹大人为本族的存亡所作的三昼三夜，不吃不喝的禁食祷告。以斯帖的心志是坚定的，那怕死也要为自己的民族去见亚哈随鲁王，向他恳求。最后，神一连串巧妙的安排使仇敌的诡计破灭，犹大族胜过了那些恨他们的仇敌得救了。

但以理及同伴的禁食是部分禁，只禁荤菜，素食三年。因为当时巴比伦王宫的供食荤菜都是祭过偶像的食物，但以理他们有一颗敬畏神，不沾染污秽的心志。在后来的争战中，可以看见他们的得胜。三个同伴不向偶像屈服，在烈火窑中与神同游。而但以理则有解梦的恩赐，无论情势如何他总一日三次跪在神面前求告，为此被丢在狮子坑中，而神就封住狮子的口。但以理的勇敢、信心、能力都来自于他的祷告。（但以理书）

新约中最典型的禁食祷告就是耶稣旷野中四十昼夜的禁食，圣经没有说耶稣禁水，只说后来耶稣饿了。这是禁食祷告的第三种，只禁食、不禁水。耶稣四十昼夜的禁食是受圣灵的引导，接受魔鬼的试探，确切说，是四十昼夜禁食祷告与魔鬼争战。这是耶稣出来为神工作重要的一课，之后耶稣胜过试探，满有圣灵的能力回到加利利开始传道、训练门徒。之前耶稣没有做过任何传道的工作，也未行过一件神迹。

耶稣常常教导门徒祷告，并特别提到禁食祷告。圣经中记载有个被鬼附的孩子，门徒无法赶出那鬼，耶稣说，?因为你们的信心小，厖这一类的鬼若不祷告禁食，他就不能出来。?（太17）可见禁食祷告是信心能力的来源。圣经明明告诉我们，? 我们并不是与属血气的争战，乃是与那些执政的，掌权的，管辖这幽暗世界的，以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战。?（弗6：12）所以，凭我们的血肉之躯根本无法胜过撒旦的攻击。

之所以?禁食?，乃是为了在神面前?刻苦己心?，向神有所求，向神祷告。平日我们都是为食物忙碌，一旦放下食物，单单安静在神面前，去经历?人活着不是单靠食物，乃是靠神口中所出的一切话?，去经历神更深处的带领、圣灵能力的覆庇。专心的禁食祷告不会有饥饿感，那时候会知道食物原本的意义就是神的赏赐，让我们享受，而不是维持生命用的。就象在《启示录》记载，末后在神国度里各样的果子是我们的享受一般，因为?汗流满面才得糊口?本就是人犯罪后受的咒诅。

禁食祷告要注意的是要?刻苦己心?，在神面前立定心志有所求，否则三心二意的不为神所悦纳，也得不着什么(赛58）。象以斯帖、但以理、耶稣，他们的禁食祷告都是事先心灵有所预备的，所以能够胜过。特别是耶稣的禁食，有圣灵的引导，在祷告中与魔鬼交战。因为人在禁食状态下，虽没有饥饿感，但身体会很软弱，若是为着神国度的事祷告，就必定会有撒旦的攻击。但以理为着所见的大争战异象禁食二十一日，仍不能明白，内心十分悲伤，后来当神显现的时候他通身无力，面伏于地沉睡，神告诉但以理，他就是为但以理的祷告而来，只是有撒旦拦阻，是天使长米迦勒帮助神与撒旦争战。可见我们在地上祷告的时候，在天上灵界中更有一场真实的战斗。

若是初信者，尚不明白心志，还是以祷告亲近神为好。我在初信的时候也操练过禁食，但那时不明白心志，只是在这样的祷告中与神很亲近，里面格外甘甜。但为某件事所作的禁食祷告往往会失败，不知所求。现在想来，与自己的心志有很大关系，很久都不敢再禁食。后来，神带领我一段时间与一位姊妹常在一齐同心祷告，为个人的灵命，为教会，为各样挂心得事。我们的祷告很有力量，彼此都有得着。经过一段时间后，老师教导?禁食祷告?，听了很有感动，神也预备一段可以关门安静的时间，所以决心禁食祷告、求告神。

起初两日，里面非常忧愁，身体也格外软弱，不想亲近神，但只要我跪在神面前，就会用信心知道神在听我祷告。我的祷告伙伴Connie告诉我，有撒旦的拦阻，但我自己没有看见。第二日的晚修，在祷告中经历了一场可怕的灵界争战，一边祷告一边听见撒旦的狂笑、尖叫，只有用不住的祷告去抵挡恐惧，依靠神使我胜过，我看见原来过去那些同心合意的祷告，还有圣经课，都是我里面力量的积累，是神恩典的预备，神早已为我们的争战预备好，而我们能够胜过唯有常常祷告、读神的话语，使我活着的乃是神！当祷告到后来，会感到撒旦退去了，而自己原本的忧愁软弱一扫而空，内心满得力量。神要我们经历这些灵界争战，原来就是我们的食物。
第三日的祷告是喜乐释放的，我知道神使我胜过了，内心充满感谢赞美。过去在祷告中也会有此类经历，祷告时毛骨悚然，但往往不能胜过，只有放弃祷告。

灵界中有许多我们看不见，但真实的事，它影响着基督徒过地上得胜、属天生活，若不依靠神，没有人能胜过。常常祷告、亲近神，会使我们儆醒、有力量。撒旦最厉害的一招就是使我们失去警惕，不冷不热，与神不远不近，还以为神仍然与我同在，我到哪里，神就跟到哪里厖求神怜悯我们，光照我们，他是我们的主，我们当跟随他。

基督徒，好好儆醒祷告！因为主来的日子近了，审判的主就站在门前！

《人生熱線影院 — 隱形鬥室 The Room》

2008-01-02T07:47:00.000-08:00

一部清楚刻画城市隐形杀手--忧郁症的电影

这是影音使团在2006年的新尝试，结合“人生热线”的实例及社会课题，制作系列的“人生热线影院”。

这部电影清楚刻画现代城市隐形杀手--忧郁症。电影籍着两位同样有着不愉快的童年的人物，资深社工Armanda及“人生热线”义工Maggie，因为不同的选择，发展出两段不同的人生。Armanda自认为可以靠自己的力量面对事情，然而在一次又一次的压力下，童年阴影不断缠绕，导致内心产生自我否定，认为“我没有价值，没有人爱自己”，差点走上不归路。Maggie则有幸拥有杨Sir成为同行者，引导致神的面前而成长。

电影透过斗室内Armanda与童年的自己的对话，将人内心的斗争赤裸裸的摆上银幕。在斗室内，自己与自己斗争，结果只可能会让自己一败涂地。可是神却在外头敲门，圣经说，“看啊，我站在门外叩门，若有听见我声音就开门的，我要进到他那里去，我与他，他与我一同坐席。”若允许神的爱进入自己的内心，聆听神的声音，靠着神的力量面对自己，即选择在绝境中多走一步，即时人生便有出路！

北教区青年团30周年庆典

2007-10-19T00:21:00.000-07:00

2007年9月8 日北教区青年团在大山脚堂举办了30周年庆典。开始的时间是7.45分但在7点多时我们可看见很多堂会都到达了。在7.45分，30周年庆典开始了，许福顺弟兄，当晚的领会，宣召，过后就做个开始的祷告。

接下来，我们的8个兄弟呈现开幕舞蹈。因为音乐已慢了几秒，所以开始的部分我们没按照着练习时的步伐行，让我们每个人都不知所措，很紧张。但过了那个部分，我们都做得蛮不错。过后，大山脚堂的青年带领当晚的赞美敬拜。接着，陈志浩牧师述说了北教区青年团的未来展望，那就是Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry 和 Evangelism。他说了我们在青年的事工上要满足神对事工的目的而不是人的目的。

经过了祷告和读经，莫哲川会长于我们宣道。在未进入主题前，他与我们分享了他对祷告大会的感想，也呼吁更过的青年们委身服侍，因为在建新的布道所和教会时都缺乏了传道和牧师。当晚，莫会长以以弗所书1：15-18 为主题。他分享了很多教会有掉金粉的现象，但他说了这事在圣经上没出现过，最好不要相信，凡有什么事情发生，先根据圣经的教导。他也说信主的重要点——信，望，爱，和青年团应强调圣经。

宣道后，我们举行奉献，祷告和吟三一颂。接着，北教区青年团团长，陈威荣弟兄致词。过后就由牧师和顾问颁发纪念品给个堂会的牧师和团长。接着就是切蛋糕仪式，我们唱了三种不同语言的生日歌庆祝北教区青年团30周年。过后，亚依希淡堂和油较路堂的会员各呈现了节目。在拍全体照前，牧师给了我们祝福。最后，我们享用所准备的食物，同时也互相团契。在团契时，又一位伯伯叫我们来拍照，于是我们也顺便把相机给了他。他蛮专业的，各相机的缺点和优点他都知道，它也使用得很好。慢慢的，人群少了，我们也踏上归途。

美好的时光总是转眼逝去。希望在明年，后年，以后都能看见新的面孔，也要看到久的面孔，表示人数有很大的成长，福音也传得很快。 by Yi hern

11/8: MYF at Joshua's

2007-08-27T00:12:00.000-07:00

The Methodist Youth Fellowship decided to have a home visit (is that what you call that?) to Joshua's house during this weekend's activity.
And so all of us went. Pastor, Sorvine, John, Jacob, Kelvin, Luke (SiangBoon), AikLoong, Cindy, Joshua's best friend (didn't get his name), Cindy's boyfriend (didn't get his name either), Caleb, Joshua (Tan), Hern, Jo and I.

We started with a short praise and worship session. Before that, Joshua put out a few chairs between the piano and the sofa and he waved to me asking me to go to the chairs. Assuming I might be blocking the road, I moved the chair I was sitting on, but he insisted that I go there. Then I realised that he was asking me to play the piano. -.-lll

Well, frankly, I did sweat a bit in the air-conditioned hall. I wasn't even a bit prepared! And the song leader, Luke, was like super blur and did not prepare any song lists or anything.... Well, at the end, he just flipped through the song boook and sang whichever song he knew. Too bad for me that some of the songs they knew, i didn't know. I don't have to explain more about the sweating, do I?

Then it was followed by the story-telling time by pastor. I said it's a story telling time because pastor was sitting on the floor, in front of the television while others sit on the sofa or chairs (except Joshua & Caleb) and listened to him telling the story of the first Englishman who went to China to spread the Gospel.
The story was quite interesting at first, but eventually, everyone get bored, as everyone in the story died at very young age.
Anyway, pastor explained that the reason of people dying at young age was because that people at those times weren't that hygenic and they had a very rough time facing challeges that are in their way to spread the gospel.

I get to know that this guy, 马礼孙, (Ma-Li-Sun) (Don't know what's the name in English) was the first ever person to get into China and tried to spread the gospel in 1807(which is exactly 200 years from now) and he baptised 蔡高(Cai-Gao) (sounds like chai kueh huh?) in Macau.

And later, he came to Malacca and asked Mr 梁发 (Liang-Fa) to print bibles in chinese version for him and this Mr Liang, from a non-believer, believed in Christ after a lot of printing of the bible. ^^
Mr Liang was the first ever Chinese being appointed as a pastor.

Furthermore, Mr 米廉(Mi-Lian) (Not sure what's the English name too) followed Mr Ma-Li-Sun in spreading the gospel for seven years before he died of respiratory problems. Besides printing the bible in Chinese version, they also printed 3 small 4500 page booklets of Chinese-English dictionary, which was the very first one on earth.

There were quite a lot of difficulties that Mr Ma-Li-Sun faced during the times he tried to spread the gospel in the Mainland, China. Well, now we should appreciate his effort to do so because if it wasn't because of him, we wouldn't be hearing the gospel today as it spread from there to here.

Ok, moving on to the programs of the night, pastor brought along a DVD about 苗族,(Miao-Zu) (a small ethnic in south-east China if I'm not mistaken) and it shows how the gospel is being shared among the people and about their lives and customs too.

Everyone ate the fried noodles Joshua's mom prepared and drank the drinks prepared while watching the documentary. Actually, no one really paid much attention to it except for pastor who was really excited about the whole clip.

In the middle of the documentary, when everyone was busy eating and chatting away, Joshua's parents and brothers came back from dinner. The thing I want to say is, I never knew Joshua has a little brother until just now! He actually told me before, but then I thought he was joking!
After the whole family went upstairs, pastor asked Joshua, "Who was the little boy just now?"
"My brother," Joshua answered while half laughing.
"Huh? I never knew you have little brother!" pastor exclaimed.
"There are 3 of us."
Haha, and I thought I was the only one who just knew the existance of the little boy.
Anyway, his little brother was really kind to treat all of us with mango flavoured gummies.
Luke passed one to me, and I said, "Thanks!"
"See, I'm so nice, right?" he said.
"Yea, I'm so touched!"
And he opened his gummy and wanted to give me the opened one.
I thought he was really going to give it to me since mine's not opened yet, but he quickly ate the gummy before I could take it. How cheeky!

Later on, Joshua's father joined us for drinks and watched the documentary too.

Then it ended, everyone washed their own plates and cutleries. The guys were discussing about the 'P' and 'L' license they are having now with Sorvine.
(AikLoong is holding a 'L' license while Luke is a 'P' motorcyclist now)
"Hey, how come you went to take the Perempuan (girl) license?" said AikLoong.
"Better than you-lah, Lembu(cow)," joked Luke.
"Go get a Lelaki (male) license-lah," interupted Sorvine.
"Yea lah, I have the Lelaki license ok!" defended AikLoong.
"You've got a Perempuan license, what are you?" AikLoong continued.
Anyway, the Lelaki and Perempuan thingy went on with among the guys when someone noticed that Joshua(Tan) was washing the plate quietly when they were all bickering with each other.
"Haha, Joshua is holding the Perempuan license too!"
"That's why he's so quiet all this time!" laughed Sorvine.
It was an interesting 'gender' bicker. **

It all soon came to an end when pastor said that we shouldn't bother Joshua's family that late.
And so we continued the 'fellowship' outside the house.
John said that they're having a game on the 13th of October and invited me to join them.
I will still be at ShangHai that day if I'm not mistaken. Hmm, too bad I can't join them... *Sob*
John said that Luke will be pretending to be a dead person! and the game starts at around 11pm! Oh gosh! Why do I always miss the fun things?!?!
Well, John said that it's going to be a detective-like game, where everyone has to guess who murdered Luke.

I say, don't have to think that much, the killer must be Kelvin, the abusive brother! *Evil grin*
Too bad when I asked Luke who killed him and said that it must be his brother, Kelvin heard us! Herh, this brother.....
我说凯文杀气很重！哈哈哈哈！臭气还差不多！开玩笑！哈哈哈哈哈！

--

站在门口，望见天上有两颗星星。
“哇！这里可以看见星星耶！”我大声向站在身边的翔文喊道。
“没有！”他很诡异地转头看后面的天空。
"我的手指指着这里啊，你看那边做么？”我扮凶凶开玩笑说道。
“只有两颗……"他说道，“噢~那颗是可诗来的！”
抬头望，一颗闪闪发亮，一颗却隐隐约约。
望回地面的翔文，走掉了。
我是哪颗呢？嘻嘻！

--

翔文10月13号就会‘死’了！
我追问他到底是谁把他杀了，怎样冤枉‘死’了。
“翔文！你一定要等我哦！”我激动说道，“在你‘死’之前我一定会回来见你最后一面的！”

The 2nd Butterworth Creativity Youth Camp 2007

2007-06-13T07:51:00.000-07:00

The Second Butterworth Creativity Youth Camp from 31 May 2007 till 2 June 2007 has ended. On the first day of the camp and 6.30 am in the morning, we registered and assembled at Perai Chapel . At 7.30am, we started off from Perai Chapel to the feet of Bukit Bendera. Camp members were divided into a few groups to ascend to the mountain peak by using cable cars. We spent another 45 minutes to reach the camp site whicn is Penang Methodist Center . By the time all the camp members have reached the site, it was already 11 o’clock. At 12.00 noon, we carried out our first activity, which was icebreaking. Through this game, the committee members and camp members had the chance to know each other better.
After the games, we had our lunch. We invited Rev. Wee to carry out the opening ceremony of the camp. During that time we carried out a game which maybe roughly translated as “A Thousand Words”, that is they should identify all the words that can be associated with “open”. This is one of the games that can earn points for the group.

At 3 pm, we carried out our second activity, which is a mini-sports game and a mini-playground. This is an individual competition. Participators must try on their own to have all the stamps of the committee members, and use five different stamps to complet e a form, whereby after that they ask for another form from the pastor.The winner is the one with most votes. The camp members enthusiastically tried to get all the stamps that they could. Every camp member expressed their sportsmanship. This activity continued till 5.30 pm, after which camp members assembled in the hall to hand in their completed forms to a committee member, sister Liy Ha. After doing that, they went to wash up because everyone was already hot and sweaty.

At 6.30 in the evening, we had our dinner and started the first session of Praise and Worship. The Praise and Worship team aws lead by sister Carol. Following praise and worship, Pastor Lee shared his message themed “ Do Not Hold A Debt Of Gratitude”. At 9.30 pm we started playing our Night Games, that is we say that we received a letter claiming that there will be no electricity current after 10 minutes, and all camp members must crack a code in an hours time to prevent that. The camp members were divided into six groups, each supplied with a candle which they must make sure it keeps on burning. If the candle goes out, they must go to the watchtower to find the watchman (Pastor Lee) to light the candle again. At first everyone was a bit confused because it was dark everywhere. They could only depend on the small light given by the candle, and the fact that the committee members keep on blowing off the light hampered their task even more. But in the end, the camp members were clever enough to complete the task within the given time. At 11.30 in the night, we had our supper and ended the first day of the camp.

On the second day of the camp, Pastor lead us for a 15 minute quiet time and we had group discussion after that. In the groups, Christians, who are mostly committee members as well will share with other group members their process of receiving salvation to let the others know the changes in their lives after believing in Jesus, and to let the non-Christians know more about Jesus Christ. Later, we had our supper and the committee members even opened a small stall selling instant noodles. After breakfast, praise and worship was lead by sister Carol again and we had our second talk – “Humility Opens A New View of Eternity”. The talk ended at 11.00 am. The committee members and cmap members put on their camp T-shirts and we took photos.

After taking photos, brother Kelvin took charge of some games, 12 in total. Every group’s leader was to randomly select 2 games of the 12. Just when th first game was about to start, it suddenly rained, so we had to move to the hall instead. Although it was raining outside, it did not affect our moods, and everyone was having fun. In no time, it was time to have lunch. After lunch we prepared for a more challenging activity - a journey up the mountain. Praise the Lord, for it had stopped raining had the weather was nice and cool. Everyone went towards the cable cars to look for clues to aid them to finish their tasks. We completed the taks and used some straws to create some items. We made the Twin Towers, pirate ships, rockets, yachts, guitars,… each item having it’s own charactersitic. The vice president of the camp had trouble deciding which entry was the best, so in the end our youth advisor came to judge.

At 5.00 pm, we walked back to the camp site to wash up. After that, we had dinner at 6pm. At 7.45 pm, Brother Joshua Chan and Xin Hao lead the praise and worship. After praise and worship we heard our third talk : “Obedience – A Life Guided by The Lord.” After the talk, pastor called for conviction, but sadly only a few responded.

At 9.30, he has a Live Concert lead by committee members. There as a game called “The Deadly Shot” but everyone was too shy to participate. However, all of us had fun participating the Live Concert, which ended under our happy shouts. This is the last night of the camp, so no one had he intention to sleep, but talked in groups during supper. The committee members sold instant noodles, titbits and sweets at this time too. For the sake of the camp members, the committee members insisted that everyone must go to bed at 1 am, to prepare for the third day ahead.

On the third day of a camp, we had a quiet time lead by pastor from 7.30 am to 8.00 am. After having our quiet devotional time, we had breakfast. Today’s praise and worship was also lead by sister Mavis. After that we had our fourth talk themed “ Creativity – The Revolution of the Heart and Mind.” After the talk, pastor took charge of the closing cremony and announced the winners of the activities. The prizes were distributed to the winning groups by brother Kelvin. The camp ended at 11.oo am. Everyone returned to their rooms and packed their things. We also took more photos, chatted,and exchanged contact numbers.

At noon, everyone left the camp with a heavy heart. At one o’clock, we took a cable car downhill, but it rained on the way, causing twenty over members to be stuck half way down the hill. It took five rounds of cable cars to take us all down the mountain. This caused our return to be later then the estimated time by one hour. Anyhow, we were thankful to the Lord for letting us come down the hill safely. We went to have lunch and took a bus back to the chapel. Upon arriving, we took our luggage and parted ways, each returning to his own home.

Let us not forget to pray for our friends who have not yet accepted Jesus, that they may continue to search for God even after the camp has ended.

31/5 - 2/6/2007 - 第二届北海创意青年营

2007-06-12T09:02:00.000-07:00

第二届北海创意青年营于2007年5月31日至6月2日圆满结束.营会的第一天早上六时半开始在北赖布道所登记及集合。在七点半准时从北赖布道所出发而在大约十点时到达升旗山脚下。营员被分成了好几批乘坐览车上山顶，再花了大约四十五分钟的行程才到达营会场所-槟城卫里站。而所有的营员到达营会场所已是十一时。在中午十二时，我们进行了第一个活动-破冰游戏。透过这游戏让营员和委员们有机会认识对方。游戏结束后就开始吃我们的午餐。我们请王祖兴牧师主持这营会开幕，还给了每一组一张“千子文”把所有和开字可以成为连词的都圈起来，这也是赢取分数的其中一个游戏。

在下午三时进行第二个活动，那就是小型运动会和小型游乐园，这是个人的比赛，参加者必需靠自己来赢取委员们的盖印，以五个不同的盖印完成一张表格，然后再向牧师拿取第二张，以票数多者为胜。营员们都很积极和以奋斗心去赢取盖印。每一个营员们都把他们的运动精神都发挥出来。这活动进行到下午五时半，营员们在礼堂集合后把完整盖印好的表格交到给委员丽霞姐妹，就纷纷梳洗去了。毕竟每个人都汗流峡背。

下午六时三十分准开始吃晚餐然后就开始第一堂的敬拜赞美。敬拜赞美由委员妙霞姐妹带领，之后就由营会讲员李成就传道主讲主题一：感恩-不要欠人家。而晚上九时三十分开始Night game，是说我们收到了一封恐吓信，在十分钟后会停电，必需营员们合作在一个小时里把谜底解开，不然就不会有电流…营员们分成六组，每一组都会有一根蜡烛，营员必需保护这蜡烛的火不可灭，不然就要到守望台找守望者，守望太的守望者是李成就传道，为他们点染蜡烛，这样才可以继续他们的任务。开始时大家都有点手忙脚乱，因为四周都一片漆黑，大家都靠这小小蜡烛的灯光来照亮，可是可恶的恶魔-委员们一直都把烛光吹灭，让营员们更不能顺利完成任务。可是聪明的营员们都在指定的时间完成。晚上十一时半，就是吃宵夜时间,也结束了营会的第一天。

营会的第二天早上七时十五分时，传道带领我们十五分钟的灵休然后就进行分组讨论。在小组里，基督徒（大多数是委员）向组员们分享他们从信主前和信主后的过程，让他们知道信主后有什么改变，好让非信徒更了解耶稣基督。灵休后，我们就是吃早餐，这时委员们还开了一个小摊口卖杯面。吃完了早餐，一样的由妙霞姐妹带领敬拜赞美，过后，传道主讲主题二：谦卑-开拓永恒新视野。主题二在十一时结束。委员和营员们各自地把营会的衣服换上，因为我们要拍大合照。

拍了合照过后，营会的副营长，凯文弟兄，带领一些游戏，总共有十二项游戏，每一组的组长出来抽签，每一组都必需玩十二项里的其中两项。当第一个游戏准备进行时，突然下起了大雨，所以唯有移步到礼堂进行。虽然外面下着倾盆大雨但是大家的心情一点都没有被影响，大家都乐在其中。快乐的时间总是特别容易过的，一会儿就到了吃午餐的时间。大家吃完午餐后就准备了一身了的武装准备下一个更有挑战性的活动，那就是-山顶之旅。真的是感谢主，这时候雨停了，天气阴凉，大家开始出发到览车那儿开始寻找他们的提示来帮助他们完成任务。大家都很努力的寻找他们的提示，在大家的努力和欣怡姐妹的协助下，他们都完成了指定任务，并向凯文弟兄索取一包的吸管来制作一些有创意的东西。他们以吸管做了双峰塔，海盗船，火箭，帆船，吉他等等…每一个都有自己的特色和特点，真的是创意十分，令我们的副营长为了评分而头痛所以打算等待我们的陈光益导师来为大家评分。

在五点正，大家就开始集合起步回到营会场所，大家带着一身的汗臭味去享受他们梳洗时间。梳洗后大家准时的在六时半吃晚餐。七时四十五分时，育恒弟兄和欣豪弟兄带领今晚的敬拜赞美。敬拜赞美后就是由传道主讲主题三:顺服-被神管理的人生。在主题结束前，传道做了呼召，但信主的新朋友并不是很多。在九时三十分，我们开始了Live Concert。这活动是由委员们互相负责带领。当中也有残酷一枪的游戏，只可惜大家都很害羞没有人报名参加这游戏。大家只是很快乐的在参与Live Concert。

在晚上十一时，Live Concert在大家的唤呼声下圆满结束。由于今晚是营会的第二晚也就是最后一晚，大家都没有准备去睡的意念，在吃宵夜的时间也是一群一群的高谈话论，委员们也在这时候摆摊卖杯面，零食，糖果等。委员们为了营员的精神状况着想，所以特定大家在凌晨一点时务必要回到各自的房间休息。正所谓休息是为了走更远的路，因为我们还有第三天在等着大家…

在营会的第三天，早上七时三十分由牧师带领灵休至八时。灵休后大家就开始享用早餐。今天的敬拜赞美也由妙锦姐妹负责带领。之后就是由传道主讲主题四：创意-心意更生而变化。主题过后就由牧师主持闭幕礼，牧师也为我们公布了这次营会的冠军组，亚军，季军等等……由营会的副营长凯文弟兄颁发礼物给得奖组别。营会大约在早上十一时结束。大家都开始各自回到自己的房间收拾自己的物件准备回家。大家都很舍不得的忙着拍照，谈天,，拿电话号码以方便日后互相联络。

在中午十二时正时，大家依依不舍的离开营会场所。下午一时，大家集合在览车处等候乘坐览车下山。就在下山的途中下起大雨，导致二十多位的营员和委员们被阻绕在半山，并且必需分五批乘坐览车抵达山下。因为这原因所以我们的时间被延迟了，当所有委员和营员到达山下时已是下午二时二十五分，延迟了大约一个小时。但感谢上帝让我们能平安的下山。在大家准备走到前面的饮食中心吃午餐时巴士到了，准备载送大家回到布道所。经过委员们和巴士司机商量后，巴士司机还是愿意等我们享用过午餐后再回北海。大家就继续走到Asian Café来吃午餐。

在下午四时三十分时，我们终于抵达了北赖布道所，大家拿了各自的行李就踏上归途，也结束了这第二届的北海创意青年营。让我们一起为着那些未信主的朋友祷告，让他们在营会过后能继续的寻找上帝。 ~by Liy Ha
