Boot Camp Memories: Anton Hendraputra Lim

Anton with friends during 2007 camp

The first time upon hearing ‘boot camp’ the first thought comes to mind was ‘this is going to be tough!’. The games were indeed very challenging and the sessions were mind blowing. The game that I enjoyed the most was called “SMUGGLER” and session that I remembered was about family relationship. During the second year of boot camp I was appointed as one of the officer. Well, it was fun being an officer but very tiring at the same time. From there I learnt that leader must be prepared to sacrifice. I learned a lot about God and about life through boot camp. Thus, I encourage you to join boot camp! Don’t waste this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Boot Camp oh Boot Camp.  It seem so far away now; nevertheless, it was an experience worth experiencing.  It helped me grow spiritually as a Christian as I had the chance to connect with God and wonderful peers in a deeper level. One’s personality is moulded by several occasions that touched one’s life.  Lodge's Boot Camp did that for me in years 2007 and 2008.  I encourage you to take a leap of faith and participate.  You’ll then know what God has in store for you.

Boot Camp Memories: Ryonna Chuo

Boot Camp came at the right time to me; during a moment when I felt very disconnected and fragile.  My faith always burns strong, and it did not take long for me to reconnect with God.  Boot Camp does not preach passive belief in faith, but allows you to question, to experience and to truly believe. Ultimately, a camp can only do so much; what's important is to keep your faith blazing. It's certainly easier in an awesome atmosphere like Boot Camp, with like-minded friends.  I got to know more about my faith and thoroughly enjoyed praise and worship sessions.  It's an experience that's truly priceless.  Boot Camp doesn't just end after four days; it's a an experience for a lifetime.

Boot Camp Memories: Daniel Shin

Boot Camp changed my life. And no, it’s not over exaggeration. Looking back now, I can see that each camp I participated in was a time for God to mould me to whom I am today. Through Boot Camp I learnt what it is to be a leader, find my identity in God, and form strong partners in Christ. If you have not found your vision yet, I strongly recommend Boot Camp, as you will get to know God’s heart. Participate with anticipation and God will touch you.

Boot Camp Memories: Dalvin Ong

I am old. In Boot Camp terms of course! You can trace me way back to the very first camp at Santubong Resort. 2007 was a very great year: a year that not only saw the start of the Boot Camp series but the turning point in my life. It is because of Boot Camp and God Almighty that I realised the importance of missions and how urgent it is. I am truly grateful for Boot Camp, it made me realise my purpose! It has been a great pleasure to work with the Boot Camp team and I look forward to seeing more leaders rise up and more lives transformed!

In celebration, starting from tomorrow, we shall be publishing a series of reflections on Boot Camp, by campers from the days gone by (and not so gone by) at regular interval.  Read what the ex-campers have to say about the camps, their memories, their challenges, and re-live the moments with them.  Also, find out where they are now: we are proud to say that our campers have gone far and wide, furthering their educations (and even careers) to lands far beyond.
