LIFEGAME is a creative simulation game of life that seeks to provide an environment for participants to discover God’s purposes for their lives in this world.  Initially, LIFEGAME was mainly targeted at youths & young-adults, but it has been proven that it works well for adults too.  A “made-believe” world is set up in a camp or retreat environment (LIFEcamp) where participants are given the opportunity to live out their whole lives however they wish.  Starting at age 15, they begin to pursue their dream, get an education, find a job, buy their first car, purchase a house, get married, raise a family, and climb the ladder of success.  Every hour they will age 5 years and they have to pay their living expenses like food, clothing, taxes, maintenance, etc.  Consequences like health problems, accidents, fines, prestige lost, or even death will result if they do not take care of themselves.  No one knows how long they will live.  Some might die prematurely while others may retire at a ripe old age.  But when the last breath is drawn, they will meet their creator face to face. 
 LIFEGAME is all about life and that’s where the reality of the real world sets in.  Eventually they will ask themselves, “What’s the point of life?” and that is the whole point of the LIFEGAME—an opportunity to discover their purpose for living.  Coupled with workshops, dramas, mimes, songs, videos, & messages, the LIFEGAME challenges participants to: (1)commit themselves to Christ; (2) commit themselves to live the PurposeDriven Life; (3) and commit themselves to serve Christ fulltime in ministry.  On an average, 80~90% of the participants will make one or more of these life-changing decisions.  Some 1,700 lives have been impacted in one way or another through the LIFEGAME conducted in various cities in Malaysia.
