Students Together On Mission Partnership (STOMP)
14-28 June in Pantu Sarawak
S.T.O.M.P. is a journey. Not into the interiors but of self - learning to put down the things that hinders, opening up to receive and learn what God wants us to learn and along the way collecting valuable ‘treasures’.
Getting students from East Malaysia to be host and lead the team with a mixture of students from East and West is crossing culture in itself. Then together, they train, prepare and venture into the longhouses into another culture. The trip does not end here but coming back to debrief and help make sense of the whole experience is what made S.T.O.M.P. so unique. 34 students, 7 staff & 3 pastors in 3 teams discovered just that.

Camp Camerons 2008
@Lutheran LakeView
(12-31 May)
"We had one of the largest number of participants for Camp Cameron
2008, with the most ethnically diverse group of students we've ever
had (Zimbabwe, Cameroon, 2 east asian countries!), and staff were
moving in and out to conduct sessions and lend their hand to the
thousand and one things to do in camp. All in all it should have been
a mad, helter-skelter, busy camp. And yet, there was a divine
stillness as well as silence descended on us in sabbath rest and in
quiet reflection. Many students came with painful questions that no
human mind could answer, and Abba Father met, ministered, and
challenged with His call, the students in Camp Cameron 2008."
“Give us life in Thy ways”.

Professional of Tomorrow 2007
12-16 Oct Peace Haven
My name for PoT's 2007 is "A Miracle of Grace"!
My heart is deeply moved by God's work at the conference.
Many students have come away with renewed vision and a strong sense of a BIG God calling them to run with Him, in bringing about change and renewal in places most needing grace, voice and presence. The 'baton' is in the hands of this generation of young people. Let's us pray that they will run with perseverance, keeping their eyes on Jesus! Thank you for praying with us.
(180 participants from 31 groups, 27 speakers, 9 staffworker, 10 graduate workers) |

Social Work Exposure & Embracement Program (SWEEP) 2007
14 students decided to come for a 2-week SWEEP with a heart of curiosity to know what social work is all about. It designed to help students to understand & appreciate the physically handicapped, vices, people with learning disabilities, poverty, refugee and AIDS patients through the activities, to provide knowledge in the area of social concern and to experience the work as a social worker in Shelter, MAB & United Voice. Little did they know they had to experience for themselves what it means to be people with a social need, get involve in strangers’ lives and be provoke to think again of social issues. As one participant sum it up, “SWEEP is a cure for ignorance!” |
