Children's Camp. – 'We are Children of God.'

Our community held a children's camp for nine selected children on the 28th – 30th October. The aim of this camp was to lead children to an encounter with God as Father and to deepen their identity as children of God. The nine children selected were those who also had potential to be young leaders.


This three day two-night camp was jam packed with teachings on different topics, games and prayer ministry. The sessions includes God's love, Our identity in God, Jesus as Lord and Saviour, Sacrament of Reconciliation , Growing seeds of Faith and Commitment. Different hands-on activities within the sessions helped inspire the creativity of the children and emphasise the teaching points.



In one of the activities, the children were asked to do a photo collage depicting their journey of faith and God's love for them. It was heartening to see the creativity of the children and their enthusiasm for the faith. In another session, each child was 'robed' with a new garment and given a ring, symbolizing that they are prince and princesses of the Father. Each child also had the chance to affirm and praise one another.


At the end of the camp, the children shared that they experienced God's love for them. Some also shared that God healed them of their hurts and also taught them how to forgive those who have hurt them. They also learnt how to praise and encourage one another. We are thankful to God for his faithfulness and for revealing himself to His little ones.
