im so so sorry i left this blog empty for such a long time. well i had been really really busy so like hadnt had much time at all to even blog. the whole passion project had came to an end on 1 April.
im really stretched, in a good way. as in i learnt stuff about myself that i neva knew through this project, and is really inspired by what my guys are doing or had done in outreaching. all in all, the strength of our church's youth group grew from 606 to 689, with 185 converts. real motivated and touched by the sincere love and momentum of outreaching the whole church had adopted in this passion month project.
we had our celebration at 7.30pm at nexus. celebration for the whole church. then time was allocated for individuals to share how their group had grown during this project, and how they had grown individually as well. yes there are tears, but not tears of sorrow. those were tears of gratefulness, tears of joy, tears of thanksgiving. glad that our northeast jc group hit our service attendance goal, but not as much converts. well there's two sajc converts though, from the sisters side.
Oh i remember this guy from NS group who shared Christ to a whole table full of commandos. he literally climbed up on the table and started to share Christ. he was then held by the head of commandos, who had every right to give him the due punishment for doing that, serving term in jail. THANK GOD. the head of commandos is a Christian as well, so he was like let off just staying back during the weekends. i really do admire the bravery of such people who are willing to stand up for Christ regardless of situation, and have to really deny themself in the process.
God is moving. He really is, just open your ears and listen to His footsteps. the celebration praise was really passionate and convicted. it was really church camp quality, and it certainly did feel like heaven quality.
OH and i became a GRAND-SHEPHERD on saturday. out of the the two non believers my sheep kaiwen brought, both converted! ah how faithful is God? like he finally has his own sheep, great time to grow i tell ya. so proud of him really.
went with Gideon today for some seminar conducted by hope center on anger management, to these bunch of 'high risk kids', if thats what u call em. like they had a higher tendency of smoking, taking drugs, and u name it. basically i was there as an observer and in some sense, a helper. yeah those kids really do come from different walks of life, some of whom doesnt even have a computer at home.
i got a chance to speak and interact with a couple of them. learnt that they really had issues in their lives, like getting into fights and stuff. and mind you, they are of such a young age. at least younger than me. it really broaden my perspective on life, and i learnt how to relate to them as a friend as best as possible.
okay im making my post as brief as possible cause i got some stuff to settle after this. yeah, we had our last last final, easter week parade practice today. things really are coming to a close. as in all the months and hours of practice and all, it all boils down to this very week. Easter week.
we had some difficulties and problems along the practice today. the teacher in charge came and told us that we cant use eric and yanyi cause they werent from sajc anymore and there would be problems and complications were something to happen to them while they performed. and also something bout the shoulder sit stuff. ah it was really a stressful period. it was a mess lah basically. cause if we scrape the shoulder sit and remove both yanyi and eric, it would be like, might as well just scrape the whole parade lah.
had quite a talk with the teachers, and by God's will and grace, everything went smoothly except with the performance schedule timetable. and i guess we ended off at around 10. with a closure and debrief, and a round of affirmation. yes indeed, i did learn things about myself through this parade, and i guess its a success in itself, in the sense that i believe many had grown while serving God in this area. yup, thank God for everything.
okay i shall end off right here and get back to you guys real soon, i promise!
i'm Yours.
Jesus, i'm Yours.
