Testimonies from Church Camp 2005

“The camp has, in my opinion, achieved the purpose of bringing us closer as Trinitarians. I felt belonged to Trinity, sharing the vision of worshipping and honouring God. I enjoy the ‘food’ given by Pastor Bruce Hills, who is so humble that he really is a sort of light, even to us Christians. The worship team did a great job in helping us focus on God in worship, the committee did a great, very wonderful awesome job in serving us!” Gayle Tan

“Good food! Fun activities! Affordable price! Comfortable schedule. Great worship and good sermon.” Wendy Ong

“I have been so blessed by everything which have been planned and organised – the people, the leadership & God who is GREAT!” Daniel Cheah

“The programme is well spaced out. The food is great. Enough time to relax and spend time with friends and family.” Winnie Ngui

“The sermons have touched my life. Knowing that so many are driven by God & this walk isn’t alone.” Elaine Cheah

“Firstly, it’s a very well organised camp. It’s really great coming to 2005 camp. Powerful words from Pastor Bruce. We had a great time and will be looking forward to the next camp 2008.” Stephani Yip

“The time is well balanced between ministry and leisure.” Peter Leong

“I’ve learnt many things in my life which I’ve never known or wondered in my personal life. The message is very powerful that I want to rise up and be what Jesus wants me to be. I want to let people see a bible in my life that they want to read, so I can win them to Christ.” Wenice Wee

“This is the best camp I’ve ever attended.” Jeff Lee

“Kudos, kudos, kudos to all of you for such great organisation – with balance of fun, spiritual food and bonding.” Joan of DEW District
