The World Camp in Thailand, takes place in the main hall of the Lat
Krabang School of Engineering, in proximity of Bangkok, from the 6th to the 8th
of February. Especially, in this Camp that takes place under the
sweltering sun, there are over 3000 Thai students and also 500 other
students from Korea, Japan, and Ukraine just to name the three of the
nine other countries. There are other events on top of the World Camp
including the ‘Christian Leaders’ Fellowship’ and the ‘Education
Leaders’ Forum.’
“Before playing the game I thought that jumping over the obstacle
would be difficult but it was not as difficult as I thought it would be.
Because, my friend was blindfolded I had to help her. Actually, there
was an easy solution but sometimes we couldn’t see it. Leading the
friend made me think about the heart once again. It was a game that
stimulated a lot of thoughts. Moreover, it felt as though my teamwork
improved as I was working with people that I have met for the first
time.” – Ping/ Challenge 37
<Christian Leaders Fellowship>

In this Fellowship, there were over 200 Christian Leaders from nine different countries, such as India, Cambodia, Vietnam, Nepal, Japan and Myanmar as well as many pastors from various regions of Thailand.
Standing on the pulpit, Pastor Ock Soo Park began to explain why spiritual life was easy.
“All we have to look at in the words of God. Although when I see it, I may seem like a sinner but if God says that I am righteous then I am righteous. Do not be stubborn with your own thoughts and just believe in the word. Then, the word of God can become one with my heart and he will show his great power.
The Christian Leaders who heard the words of Pastor Ock Soo Park shouted, ‘Amen!’ and were filled with joy of becoming one with God. They all put their hands up to confirm that the precise faith had entered their hearts.
“I heard about the Christian Leaders Fellowship at the missionary school
in Chiang Mai. I massive change has occurred in my life through this
Forum. Listening to the word, I was able to realize that the faith that I
had was wrong. Like that, I was able to become one with God. Through
the word, Pastor Ock Soo Park explained to us precisely how we can
become one with God. And through 1 Corinthians 6:10-11, we were able to
see how if we accepted the word of God, that our lives would change and
we would be able to experience the power of God. – Susanajan Anon

“I came to an invitation from a Pastor that I know very well. I knew about Good News Mission from 8 years ago but did not go to church. However, this time, God gave me the heart of wanting to participate in this event. Through the word of Pastor, I was able to gain freedom from sin. As Pastor said, when our hearts become one with God, we can experience the power of God. Until now, I have listened to the word of God with my own thoughts. Now, through Pastor, I was able to learn that we have become righteous through the word of God, not through believing in our own thoughts.
Through this Forum, I was able to have certainty in my heart and gain freedom from my sins. Previously, I believed in both my thoughts and the word but as I was listening to the word this time I was able to learn that the most important thing in spiritual life is becoming one with God. I give thanks to God who has given me this new heart and the word.” –Jjan Panpon/Chiangwat Khonkaen
<The Opening Ceremony of the Returing Global Camp in Thailand with 9 Nationalities)
‘The Return of the Global Camp in Thailand’. This is a fitting title to the event that includes 3500 people (3000 local and 500 foreign) at the Main Hall of the Lat Krabang School of Engineering. In addition to the World Camp, the side events such as the Christian Leaders Fellowship or the Education Leaders Forum, attracted people of many different titles in society, as well as many VIPs to the announce the start of the Global Camp through the Opening Ceremony.
This was directly followed by the unbelievably high standard of performance by the Gracias Preparatory School.
Especially, the songs sang in Thai received a warm reaction from the students and the classical music was able to lead the atmosphere of the venue to a calm state. The bright smiles and the singing from the heart of the students of the Gracias Preparatory School was more than enough to open the hearts of the participants.
Moreover, he emphasized that many students who work with the IYF do
the work that makes them happy and that the love that the IYF delivers
can allow the students to escape from their sins.
As we imagine all the hearts of the students coming together and changing during the World Camp, despite the nine different nationalities, we cannot help but be full of hope.
In order to gather participants for the World Camp in Thailand, there was
an advertising period of seven months in over 150 universities and high
schools. The original plan was to have the World Camp in two places but
one university suddenly cancelled, taking away the second venue.
Although there were difficulties with the Lat Krabang School of
Engineering (the current venue), we were able to prepare for the World
Camp in thankfulness that we can turn to God in difficult times. In
every aspect of preparing for the World Camp, God was able solve
everything.
Finally, it was the 6th. After registering and attending the
orientation, the World Camp participants took part in the World Camp
programs. There were a variety of different activities such as the Mind
Lecture which teaches the world of the heart that can lead the hearts of
the people to happiness. Moreover, recreational games such as the ‘Mind
Recreation’ was a big hit amongst the students which allowed them to
learn about the power of working together. Finally, they were able to
able to participate in ‘Academies’ that they were interested in and
attend a ‘Mini Culture’ experience.

In preparation for this Fellowship the congregation of the Bangkok area
and ministers went through a lot of difficulty. Despite visiting many
churches to invite them to this event, a few churches shut their doors
towards us, despising us and becoming angry towards us. Every day we had
to seek for the grace of God and through that we were able to hear such
wonderful testimonies that God had given us. As much as it has been
difficult, the faces of the Christian Leaders Fellowship team were
filled with happiness and sincerity.

The ‘Righteous Stars’ opened the stage with a vibrant dance, to start
the Opening Ceremony. Then, this was followed by cultural performances
by Lincoln House Ulsan School students, who performed the Indian dance,
‘Tattad’, the Korean Traditional dance ‘Fan Dance’ and the performance
of ‘Rio Montana’ focused all eyes and ears to their music.
Afterwards, there was the opening speech of the Camp by Director of IYF
Thailand, Hak Chul Kim. Then, the Vice Chancellor of the Lat Krabang
School of Engineering gave their welcoming speech not to mention the
Secretary of the Department of Social Development, who delivered their
congratulatory message.
Especially, the songs sang in Thai received a warm reaction from the students and the classical music was able to lead the atmosphere of the venue to a calm state.

Pastor Ock Soo Park delivered the Mind Lecture saying, “Today, many
students throw their hearts into the darkness and just give up. Try to
make your heart flow with your family. A person whose heart flows can be
happy. Let us allow love to flow between person to person. Let us share
our hearts. If you live in this way, you will have changed unbeknownst
to you and you will be able to become a person who give strengths to
others.”
As we imagine all the hearts of the students coming together and changing during the World Camp, despite the nine different nationalities, we cannot help but be full of hope.
