Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?

Campers from eight Churches and Fellowship of Greater San Francisco Bay Area and some guests from Singapore and Burma. God has blessed the camp with powerful manifestation of Holy Spirit among us. Devotions and vesper services were filled with Spirit, Bible studies and seminars inspired many campers, testimonies and sermons empowered the worshippers, and prayers were lifted up to the throne of God. Praise be to our God Almighty!

There were happy people all over the camp ground, kids and swimmers in the pool, thanks to young and dedicated lifeguards Annie Chaw and Cynthie Hui. Recreational team competition was filied with joy and happiness all over the ground. There were games for kids, youth, adult, and for all ages. Thanks to all dedicated leaders.

This year, we have a very special program for young people under the theme, Here I am! "Enabling Grace Within You." They were enrgetic, enthusiastic, and dedicated for entire program in every area. The camp commitee welcomed three youth leaders, Nathan Choo, Htoi Lahpai, and Emily Chow as youth representatives to be part of planning and visioning for the future family camps and revival meetings. Children's activities were always making everyone proud and happy. Volunteered and dedicated teachers for these children have done exellence job for our kids this year.

Camp committee and leaders of this year had done great job for the camp to be a successful one. Thank God for these dedicated leaders who served God through this family camp. Nightly combined programs were filled with joyful noices and uncontrorable laugh because of talented people entertaining in popular programs such as, improntus, talent show, team competitions, drama, camp news, and stageshow with professional-like musicians. These programs motivated many people to decide to come back again and again to the camp. All five teams, APOSTLE, MISSIONARY, REVIVALIST, EVANGELIST, PASTOR and talented individuals went home with gifts and awards. Most importantly, campers this year went home with answer to God's great commission by saying, "Hear am I! Send me."
