FES 48th Anniversary Hi-Tea
Petaling Jaya Gospel Hall
17 July 2010

‘1 Dream, 1 Journey’ was the theme of this year’s celebration of FES’ 48th anniversary. A gathering of students, staff and graduates from different walks of life, to come together and remember and celebrate with us. Guests were invited to recall and remember what God had done for them during their student days, and write it down and place it on a dream wall. As the wall was being filled up, others took the opportunity to catch up and mingle with friends from both the past and present. After a good Malaysian tea, all were ushered into the church sanctuary for the celebration service. During the service, we were all reminded of God’s faithfulness to the student ministry in the past 48 years. At one point, the current FES staff were all invited to the stage to share some of their own dreams for the ministry. All who were present were also invited to shout out, who God has been for them. Overall, it was a good, and encouraging moment to come together and celebrate the 48th anniversary of FES, and also start preparing for Jubilee in 2012! God has been faithful in these many years and for many more years to come!

Students Together On Mission Partnership (STOMP)
Ulu Skrang, Sri Aman, Betong
(12-26 June 2010)

11 Semenanjung students and 10 Sarawak students came together with one heart to share the good news with the people in the longhouses in Ulu Skrang, Sri Aman and Betong, a small area in Sarawak. The students had to take a challenging 10-hour journey to the longhouses: 5 hours’ drive from Kuching to the Ulu Skrang’s port, 2 hours by boat and 3 and a half hour on foot. Some cried, some thought they couldn’t reach the longhouses. But with God’s grace everyone made it. Staying in the longhouses was a new experience to most of us. We helped them to build a church, went to the jungle to look for some food and went to the river to catch fish. At night, we had fellowship with them – we had dinner and a time of praise and worship together. To sum it all up, STOMP was mainly about JOURNEYING together with the people from the longhouses and the team.  It was about PARTNERSHIP as well as becoming God’s living testimony in the “unknown" ground.

Camp Cameron
10-29 May 2010
@ Lutheran LakeView

81 students and 19 personnel came together to form 6 families for 3 weeks in the heat and coolness of the Lakeview campsite in Habu(Cameron Highlands) for Camp Cameron 2010.
The 1st week, full of new experiences, went by seemingly ‘slowly’. Introduced to the Chronicles of God and His Kingdom series of talks, invited to redeem different relationships, brain churning sessions of Wordilicious Investigators (Bible Study), time to recreate self with different activities and games, students learned to appreciate ‘enforced’ siesta in the afternoons.
As the days went by (by 2nd week, it was ‘whizzed by), it became clearer that God has been working behind the scenes in everyone’s life. Before camp, and now, during camp, many encountered Him directly. God spoke through the sessions, spoke through morning Lectio Divina (even through the mist of sleepiness of many), and spoke through the experience of living with the same ‘family’ for 3 weeks!
As both participants and personnel bade each other farewell, it was with many wishes that each would stay and hang on to the work God has been doing. Many went home with commitments to renew and redeem difficult relationships in their lives. May lives which were touched, continue to be changed as God continues His moulding.

Students Together On Mission Partnership (STOMP)
14-28 June 2008 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”.
