Today KL District Youth is having their activity at Xtion Paintball Park which is located at Bukit Jalil. It seems like the park itself established back in 2003, and it was the leading paintball centre in Asia back then.
Due to the infrastructure development which involved an expressway in construction, the park had been run down and big part portion of the land has been used for construction site and storage area. It took us some time to find this place.
The activity starts at 11am, there were already others youth there when we arrived there. The session started with an opening prayer and a short devotional by President Van Cott from KL District Young Men and Sister Claire from KL District Young Women.
There was a safety and game briefing for all the youth and parents whom want to participate in the game by the Marshall.
All the youth were brief and introduced to the safety gears which are compulsory to wear at all time: googles to protect the eyes, body vest to protect the body, the proper way to use the paint gun or marker, and some regulations or hand signs during in the fields.
There are 2 hour time slot. The group of youth split into 4 teams, 2 teams per session and the winners for each game will qualify themselves to play in the 3rd game. It was fun looking at the youth hiding and running around just to shoot and get their team flag.
Issac was so excited to join but Annabelle was not interested at all for this type of outdoor game. Actually is not Issac alone but all the youth. It is so fun and excited seeing all the youth in the church and I can feel the vibrant of the youth and the spirit they have!
Light lunch was prepared for all the youth and parents as well. There were Domino’s Pizzas, garlic bread, and cold drinks as well. The activity ends around 1.30pm.
It give me a sense of urgency and how important it is to rear our children in the church and bring them up strong in their faith to face the world which will definitely becoming more tempting and evil for them in the future.
I feel blessed that I and my family got to know this Church and the church program help us as parents to teach and nurture our children and prepare them spiritually and physically!
All the youth just look like the Army of Helaman – The Stripping Warriors in the Book of Mormon! They are our future leaders and army of the Church indeed!
