Shopping with my married colleagues, I discover a whole new universe I never knew existed. Whole "Baby r'us" stores devoted to baby products... and these fellas are so willing to spend jaw-dropping amount of money on branded baby car-seats. And I marvel at how parents care for their children by providing for their needs - clothes, foods, toys, luxuries etc. But what about their spiritual & intellectual needs? Do we cultivate that?
if i have a kid (teenage and above) I'd send him to the Ravi Zacharias Ministry camp in October 27 – 29 2006, Friday – Sunday at Hotel Puri, Malacca.

Just look at the mouth-watering topics:
Movie discussions on 'Reel World', "The Hero" and "Melinda, Melinda" wud train us to appreciate, understand and experience and critique movies from a christian outlook
Spiritual disciplines like developing 'soul friends', comtemplation/reflections...
Scripture study on Genesis - focus on our Identity/Sexuality, Purpose and Destiny
Eye-opening Workshops on New Age, Islam, What is a Worldview? etc.
What I'd like to rave about, however, is the sessions Dr Clive Chin (SBC) will be doing - he taught me systematic theology 2 months ago, and definitely a humble, mission-minded, sacrificial and well-read scholar I look up to...
He'd be doing a session on "Biblical truth in a postmodern setting" (be conversant on postfoundationalism and stuffs like that, how it affects mission of church)
and "Gospel as Theo-drama" (where Clive will be drawing on the speech-act hermeneutics of Kevin Vanhoozer in this one, if u like 'drama of doctrine' in a nutshell, this session alone is worth the camp fees :)
Dun miss it! And bring ur frens/kids along...
