R U Willing?
Something that I wanted to say to my Sec2 youths in church but had no chance to say it (due to lack of time), hence decided to type it here. For those who are not familar, read it too, and reflect..
Our church had last Sunday dedicated to one of our ministry wings, FaithActs. As part of FaithActs Sunday, we had sharings from our churchmates sharing about the pple at Tanglin Halt area, especially the youths. After which we had an Open House for the church youths to view what FaithActs has in store for the neighbourhood. It was also a time where recruitment for volunteers are essential for the befriending of the youths and the running of certain activities in FaithActs.
My Sec 2 youths were also invited (though abruptly) to the Open House. As they were playing with the table soccer and pool games, I wondered to myself: Will they be willing to befriend the youths in this area and give themselves to serve the Lord there? The best way for youths to know God is through our youths. With the same age range and have similar interests (soccer, LAN games, others), they are the best group of pple to befriend them and be a positive impact on these youths, whom some of them may really need a hand.
But youths at this point face quite a few challenges: Too focused on studies, CCAs, social life and others really take a toil on them. Indifference towards God can also affect on their response to step out of their zone and serve Him and His pple. What can we do? We can only pray and ask God to touch their lives and have a love for God and His pple.
I pray that God will touch the hearts of these 14 year olds and have a passion for these neighbourhood youths, and through their service and deeds, that they will be an example to the others around them and give glory to God.
The ball is in your court: Are You Willing..?

Things that I did..
Firstly, to the Sec 2s (and others) who are in the midst of exams now, wishing you all the best for your papers. Remember to sleep well and given thanks to God for your results!
Went into Youtube early this week after hearing about this algorithm march (sounds interesting), downloaded it and had a nice surprise! It's a series of actions that can be done individually and as a group (more fun in a grp) and it blends in very well when done in masses. Cool video! Wonder how the Japanese pple thought of such things??
I also ended a 50km night cycling event with my friends from SYFC, We went from Simei to Changi Village, through Changi Coastal Rd, ECP, Fort Rd, Elspanade, HarbourFront, Pasir Panjang and stopped at NUS for basketball! Crazy as it is, we had a lot of fun (and aching muscles) and times at these build up bonds between us.
Anyway, it has been quite a exciting mid-week, wonder what God has instored for me this week end?
BTW, NIE teachers, exam results are expected to come out on the 8th June, so do take note!!
