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..?
