“Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So spread your love everywhere you go”. – Mother Theresa
“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” – Amos 5:24
Will caring for the poor become easier only when we graduate and start earning enough to give? Unfortunately for most, social outreach only becomes more challenging then…
The issue of cultivating a mindset for outreach with our finances requires deliberation and begins NOW! What would it be like for justice to truly “roll on like a river” and for righteousness to flow like a never-ending stream? Who are these people that we are exhorted to care for? Come, be challenged in making social outreach relevant and to nurture a mindset for ourselves that will keep us focused on God’s kingdom purposes as a student and after graduation.

Synopsis:
In the past couple of decades, Singapore’s population has doubled to its present size of 4.3 million people. Today, one out of every four Singaporeans have moved here from overseas and are involved in both ’skilled’ and ‘unskilled’ work. What then are the implications for the country today? How, as Christians in this society, can we better be placed to seek social justice and act responsibly to people who have been created in God’s image.
Join us as we seek to explore and grapple with an aspect of Singapore’s national policies and its relevance to Christians today.
God Bless. Brian Tan (briantan@NUS.edu.sg)

The PRC camp is an annual camp co-organized by VCF and MOE for the china students who are on scholarship to study in Singapore in NUS. The International Friendship Group will be running the programs for the camp, which will be filled with games, a good time of fellowship and bond-building with the PRCs. It is a privilege and by God’s grace that VCF is given this opportunity to interact with the Chinese students during the camp even though it will be non-evangelistic in nature. What makes the PRC camp so significant then, for VCF, is that it will act as a platform for VCF to invite these Chinese students whom the CFers will interact and cultivate friendships with during the camp for activities organized by IFG during the coming semester like the English Speaking Corner (ESC),and hopefully we will be able to spread the good news to them should chances arise. IFG will also be holding an evangelistic event after the PRC camp for those PRCs who may be interested in Christianity.
So, what are you waiting for? Join the PRC camp today!
Date: 26-27 December 2005
