woke up at 7 something in the morning...cuz u soon lim will be bringing us to derricks hse cuz later petra is having a waterwar around 3 something..so as we arrived...as usual...the kids..(no comments)..had fun by playing the same game for at least 4 hrs..naruto and bleach..they even skipped lunch...lol..then there was me...bored till death..well..for me..sleeping is the best solution so i juz slept..haha..ok then around 3 we headed for petra..and the moment i entered...woah...there were lots of youths there...i think its around 4 or 5 times bigger than our cgc YF..that shows that our YF need to bring more youths..^^...(plan for next year..evangelise..)..ok so we(the whole group)were assigned to join group moses as derrick was the one who brought us here...then i met their group commander..which also means leader la...ok..so he shared with us abt how he was back when he was 22 around 5 years ago..he was a so called''sampah masyarakat''..he had no purpose in life..skipped school...gang up and beat ppl..and other bad stuffs..and he told us his hair was very long till the waist like those ''yippees''in U.S...had locks or something like that...then he shared with us the 1st time he came to know the Lord...the 1st time he came he joined the band and juz make music..then after a while he stopped going..and the petra ppl kept calling him and asked him to come join them for games...music..and loads of other stuffs..and he asked himself''why do they treat me differently than those who treat him outside??''..then only he realized that christians are different from non-christians..Christians are ppl assigned by God to evangelise...and after that..he was very active in youth..he cut off his ''long'' hair and eventually became a group commander...
there are 2 things to be learnt here..
-first is that this serves as a reminder as we are Gods ppl...it is written in the bible..Matthew 28:19...''Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit''God has assigned us something to do in this world...so that everyone may reign with him..thats why i do feel ashame abt my ''shyness'' to not preach the gospels to my friends...and it is really a bad thing...
-2nd..like jason..he was once a guy who was left out by the society and now he is actively serving as a leader in petras YF..thats why its important to give everyone a chance to change...just like this yrs VC when aunty siew peng told me that my bro is going to be the leader..first thing that came into my mind was...''aunty siew peng..u are gonna so regret it..''..and the fact that wei qian even cried...ho ho...thats when i know how serious it is..because my bro has additude problem...but like jason..i am willing to give him a chance to show his true self during VC and hope that he will change to a better bro..thats all i can say for today...haha..tata..
