Alpha course weekend away

Went down to KL to catch up with ex-CG friends from Hope KL. It so happened that SSC unit had a trip to a small village town of Broga in conjunction with their Alpha course, which I tagged along. We started off at 7am, and arrived at our destination around 9am for breakfast. It was then a time of exploring the OUTBAC compound, with fun outdoor activities such as kayaking, cycling, obstacle courses integrated along with teaching sessions on the topic of the Holy Spirit. Challenged myself to take on some of the activities, with mixed consequences..

It was a refreshing time to see new people in the Subang-Sunway group, and also an opportunity for me to refresh myself on the topic which I have not read up for a while, and might need to do some teaching on soon. I think it was great that as a group, we are able to honestly express our burdens / issues and pray for one another in the afternoon.

Night wrap-up with the campfire in the background was awesome, as each person shared what they learnt throughout the day; a new perspective on the topic being taught, a refreshing time of fellowship and team-building - helping one another overcome the obstacles. I don't really join them much nowadays, but as someone who is graduating soon, I could only remind everyone to treasure their time as a group while they are still students, to support and encourage each other, to grow in service, practise what they have learnt, and make a difference wherever they are.

And we shall cap things off with a song - with of course some accompanied background music :) Check out the rest of the photo album here.
