the planning of the camp. With the guiding<br />
hand of God, each camp was a success.<br />
The participation of Life Church Chinese<br />
Service and the FEBC has brought a<br />
new dimension to our <strong>Bible</strong> camps. It is<br />
now a family camp where Lifers could<br />
bring along their Chinese-speaking parents<br />
and loved ones to be ministered to by our<br />
regular Chinese camp speaker, Sister Ng<br />
Sang Chew. Besides, FEBC students participating<br />
at the Camp could gain academic<br />
credits by fulfilling the requirements set by<br />
the <strong>College</strong>. Furthermore, the camp provides<br />
opportunities of service, leadership<br />
and on-the-job training for both the lay-<br />
Christians and the full-time seminarians.<br />
In 1996 the Lord led our Pastor to<br />
view a piece of land fronting the South<br />
China Sea at Mersing. Mersing is only 2½<br />
hours by road from Singapore. With the<br />
unanimous decision of the Session, the<br />
Church bought a 67,<strong>50</strong>0 sq. ft. of prime<br />
Camp features 14 family rooms, three<br />
men’s dormitories, three women’s dormitories,<br />
two meeting halls (the larger one<br />
could seat 2<strong>50</strong> people), and dining facilities<br />
for up to 2<strong>50</strong> campers. Built at a cost<br />
of more than $2-million, it will double as<br />
a Gospel station. Due for completion by<br />
the end of 2000, Mersing Youth Camp will<br />
be Lifers’ permanent campsite henceforth!<br />
The journey from Telok Paku in the<br />
19<strong>50</strong>’s to Mersing in the new millennium<br />
is yet another reminder of God’s rich blessings<br />
and faithfulness to Lifers. Lifers and<br />
all our like-minded B-P brethren and<br />
friends have a goodly and godly inheritance<br />
at Mersing Youth Camp. This beautiful<br />
seaside haven is a “crown” from the<br />
LORD in our jubilee year, where we may<br />
find physical and spiritual rest any time till<br />
we enter into “<strong>His</strong> rest” (Heb 4:10).<br />
Amen.<br />
