BRIDGE DIAGRAM PHOTO 1 - In the beginning, God and Man were the best of friends.

BRIDGE DIAGRAM PHOTO 2 - Because of Man's disobedience, sin came into the picture and separated Man from God.

BRIDGE DIAGRAM PHOTO 3 - God loved Man so much that He sent Jesus to die on the cross so that Man could be with God through Jesus.

Thanks for being my photo actors, Huiying and Liping!

I'm sure that all of us have been blessed and inspired by the camp. Now that the 3 days of hype are over, let's put what we've been so convicted about in action.
The harvest is definitely here.

Games Review
Citadel
This is probably one of the most interesting and enjoyable game of the lot. Ranging from 2 to 8 players, it is equally fun no matter how many people are in the game. Personally I prefer more players, but a game of 2 players is extremely fun and challenging as well. The aim of the game is to build 8 districts in your city. Once 8 districts have been completed, the game ends and points are counted.
At the beginning of each round, everyone secretly chooses a character in a clockwise manner. This character has special abilities that can be activated during your turn. Once everyone has selected a card, the round starts from the assassin and the race to build 8 districts begins.
This is a game of strategy and persuasion. Every round is different as you get to choose another character. Collect gold as a merchant, or get more cards as an architect, or even switch hands as a magician, but dodge the thief and the assassin or else your turn will be futile. There is just so many ways of playing this game and the element of mystery of who is who just makes the game even more exciting. A problem is that first timers usually take a long time to choose the character they want. Solution: Have the top 3 characters you want in your head, so when the cards come to you, you can choose immediately without cracking your head.
I highly recommend this game at caregroup level and from what I have seen, both guys and girls love this game.
