I expected to live out a communal life during Camp Blue. This expectation was met through the discussions I had with the Taiwan students after each morning’s set of presentations. Frisbee, bowling, king-kong shower, photo taking as well as dorm activities (i.e. presentation prep + teaching drums) also allowed me to share life with the students.

Another expectation I had was to expose college students to the importance of God. This was fulfilled through my participation in and follow-up for Gospel-Fest and Friday Night Plus. These events encouraged the students to seek happiness from relational bonding and answers in Christianity.

For the mission trip, I prayed for praise to open people’s hearts and that at least one person in my team would find interest in Christianity. After Gospel-Fest and Best-of-the-Best of Wednesday night, I decided to provide follow-up regarding Gospel-Fest with my roommates (Eugene + Sean) despite my fatigue. For an hour, I discussed the sacrifices that Camp Blue members made. Their interest in Christians peaked since they expressed gratitude for us during the third presentation. Taking advantage of this moment, I shared a part of my testimony where I changed from being selfish with my time to willingly spending time with others. I also mentioned how Christian lifestyles emerged because of Jesus’ grace and mercy. After the discussion, Eugene asked me to define sin and allowed me to further elaborate on Jesus’ sacrifice as a motivation to make loving sacrifices. At least one of these roommates considered coming to Friday Night Plus and learning more about Christianity.

There’s more I could discuss, but I’d rather finish it off with some pictures. God bless! 🙂
