Every Sen Counts.

In this world of lost souls, perpetual poverty and rampaging diseases, every sen counts.
So, do donate to World Vision! (:
And no, that isn't the point of this post, although it is a good point to be noted.

Now then, to the real point.

Every prayer from a truthful heart really, really counts for this year's Annual Youth Camp '08.
You've seen people donate over RM 1.5K to make this year's youth camp a success (by the way, there's another fundraising at North Zone on the 7th of December, 2008), but what good is the cash if its cause isn't fulfilled?

So.

(I don't want to sound like a wretched beggar, so must think first before writing..)

YOU (whoever you are, fireBRAND or not, young or old) are highly encouraged to take a few minutes to pray for this year's Annual Youth Camp. It doesn't have to be a 10-minute prayer, but what matters is that you mean what you pray.

Some points (besides the usual stuff like health, food, Jabatan Kesihatan* people):
1. God will cleanse us.
2. God will bring into being things that were not.
3. God will restore and strengthen us.
4. [something about a motor.. long story and the facts are kinda blurry so i'll edit this later, when the picture becomes clearer, if it ever does]
5. Pray for the seniors (who still have impurities) and the juniors (who aren't responding when given the oppurtunity) in fireBRANDS.
6. That the fireBRANDS will recognise God's lordship in their lives.
7. That the fireBRANDS will be bold enough to step out of the darkness (sin).
8. God will show us the work of His hands (Jesus dying on the Cross) because the fireBRANDS need to realise what He's done for them.

The points may seem odd to you. Explanation? They were compiled after the participants of the recent AYC '08 Fast and Prayer spent almost an hour listening to God.

Back to the point.

If you can fast a meal for one day or something along that line, then you're more than welcome to. If you can fast in other ways (abstain from watching television and stuff like that), then yeah, why not?
But do remember that fasting does come with praying.
Without praying, it'd be more like... starving yourself.

So, do say a prayer, because every prayer counts.

Thanks (:

* Some Jabatan Kesihatan people will be staying in Hosba Valley (now Seri Kedah Gardenia) at the same time we're staying there. Apparently they've been giving the resort some problems, as well as being rude to them.

Oh, and remember World Vision too...
