matric.camp.
Joined in for matric camp though I’ve officially moved on to YP. Objectives are to observe this year’s freshmen, and to help out in whatever ways I can, so as to lighten the load of the uni people.
One major way I’ve helped out in is probably in doing the closing video. Sherwyn and I spent a lot of time on it, and only had a bare few hours of sleep because of this. Something that amazed me as I reflect back on it right now is how my spirit in serving has changed somuch over the past few years.
One thing I’ve learnt of the university group is a spirit of excellence. During the production process, the video was evaluated several times and there were always changes to be made to the video, even up to the very last minute.
If it had been a few years back, I would’ve complained and argued that the video was good enough. There will always be something to improve on, and there has to be a considerate stop to it, I would’ve argued.
But when I was doing the video, I did not complain at all. I realized how God deserves nothing less than our best, and that even though it may be rushed out and ready only at the very last minute, it was our best effort for God. And that’s the way how it should be.
As I sat there and watch the video play itself out in front of the entire camp, I feel such a strong sense of satisfaction. Laughing to yourself when editing funny videos is one thing. Watching the edited funny videos with your audience and laughing along with them, that’s another thing. And that, my dear, is truly priceless.
I wanna join the multimedia ministry.
