CHARIS (22 June)

RCIY spent their day at the Charis forum, listening to talks on mission trips and watched a concert, performed by children and young adults from Thailand, Cambodia, etc as well as Singapore's School of Dance. It was an eye-opener for all in this exhibition as the some of the inquirers are interested in these mission trips after this fair! 

Heavenly Father, if these inquirers are called to go for mission trips, let Your will be done unto them. Give them the courage and strength to put their hearts and desire in helping those children and to bring hope and joy into this world, to them. I ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen. 

RCIY Camp (7-9 June)

Those 3 days of camp brought all of us joy, tears, frustration, peace and hope. Below are some of the inquirers' reflections:

"The first game that I'm going to reflect on is the Car + treasure hunting. Although it is tiring at times, but it was fun. All of us were handicapped and it was difficult to help the team at times as one of us was blind folded and one of us can't talk. Some of the items were just in front of our eyes. Especially the marker outside. But overall it was fun! :D I learnt that God is always there for us, giving us answer and helping us.  

The second game that I'm going to reflect on is the dinner (exercises + sharing food). This game was fun though my team was last in position. I could see that everyone was trying their best to get first place or second place and trying to avoid third place haha. I'm so happy that everyone was willing to share their food and I don't need to eat just the rice alone! Haha sharing is caring!! I also bonded a lot with the inquirers! :) 

Overall the activites were fun and enjoying too! Thank you sponsors and the inquirers for making it so enjoyable! :) "

"Although I came on the second day, I missed a few activities but at least I get to experience some. I liked the last game with the coupons as it was challenging and fun at the same time. It was challenging because it was hard to think of a song to sing as a few of us don't know the lyrics to the song and some of us don't want to sing. It was fun too, a lot of us enjoyed the game and we all laughed at our dances and everyone liked the songs too (well not everyone)." 

                                                   ---------------------

"Last week camp was awesome. I had lots of fun, learn alot of things such as trust and faith. I realise that life will be better, if you choose to make it better. Never had such a great time this year because of studies and school work. This is one of the moments that I could enjoy myself this year and I got all the sponsors and inquirers to thank. Thank you."

                                                   ---------------------

"The camp had taught me a lot of things spiritually. Through many obstacles, the presence and spirit of God was experienced. Not only did I feel God's presence, I also bonded a lot more with other RCIY inquirers. Every activity in the camp had a little game. Even a simple thing such as a breakfast was made very enjoyable. What I liked the ultimate most about the camp was the Polar Bear game!! :) I found Mass very fascinating! In this camp I understood many things about God, other inquirers, sponsors & myself :) I would like to thank the sponsors for organizing this camp :) this camp has made a big impact in my life." 

The inquirers had grown spiritually over those few days of activities and sessions, forging stronger friendships and ofcourse deepening their relationship with God.

O Lord, as we go forth to continue to search for You, give us Your grace to always sustain and grow in our relationship with You. I ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
