To my fellow commanders, I am immensely encouraged by your steadfast leadership and unwavering dedication throughout this camp.

PS: To all the media team commanders, Kudos, for all your hard work and sacrifice, without your footages, the videos and photos will not be as impactful.. 💪 

As a 12 year old, my original testimony was most likely about the scorching but manageable weather and the scrumptious food that was prepared by the people back there at KKB Ampang Pecah. However as a young Adventure Ranger boy, never in my life I would have imagined that I would be given a chance to encounter an enchanting experience during the night rally on the second day that restored and allowed me to have a closer walk with God.

What was my encounter during the second night rally? You may ask.  

To simplify, I felt God's presence. While everyone was worshiping and pouring their heart out for God, I proudly sang along loudly with a heart burning of passion. This was the first time that I truly felt the most cheerful in my life and nothing could replace the joy at that time. 

All of a sudden, my body temperature rapidly increased and I started to sweat uncontrollably. It was weird because the room was relatively cold due to the air-conditioning but the temperature of my entire body was the complete opposite. I felt dizzy and my legs became stiff. My body was in pain yet it was not in pain.

Therefore, I stretched out my arms to worship God. Just then, a warm sensation fell upon my arms and it felt like Jesus was giving me a comfortable and relaxing hug and it eliminated all the pain I had. At that moment, I did not want to tell anyone about it because I was confused about it myself and assumed I was just sick.

After that, I asked my friend about the incident that happened to me and he shared a story about his friend named Isaac (which means laughter) burst into laughter after feeling God’s presence. Immediately after camp, I did some research on the definition of my name. Guess what, the meaning of my name is little fire! It made me feel even more special and I thought everyone felt that way but no. God specifically spoke to me and gave me a cozy hug that sparked a little fire in my heart and kept me warm throughout. 

Who would have guessed that my first ever Pow Wow was the BEST CAMP I’ve ever attended? From my amazing fellow rangers, dedicated commanders and a survivable dorm to sleep in instead of a tent!

Other than my wonderful encounter with God, the camp itself was well planned and conducted. I made many friends (even though I don’t remember the names of some), I also met many new commanders from different outposts! In addition to that, I was able to build a stronger bond with the people from my outpost, Selangor 7. 

Furthermore, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude towards my friend, Sebastian (Selangor 7) who was with me throughout the night rally and explained to me about things I did not understand. Most importantly, kudos to Pastor Andy for teaching us about restoration, a restart in my path with God and how to appreciate Royal Rangers even more.

I am wholeheartedly grateful for everything this camp has taught me. Moreover, I enjoyed participating in the fun games, sleeping in the dormitory, devouring the appetizing food, the campfire and socializing with the cool people from different outposts. 

Thank you and God bless!
