combined bp churches yf meeting
thank God for a really blessed day at shalom bp church today. this year's combined yf meeting has been one of the best so far :) i thank God for the youths who turned up and for the sweet fellowship we had with one anor. thank God also for the new friends made, (tho some have seen each other arnd at previous meetings but never talked)...and for opportunity to meet 'old' friends (made at the past yrs meetings once) again...
a pity we have this only once a year huh? but again...just to plan for this ONE day took us 3 months. imagine a camp...lols.
thank God also for answering our prayers & granting us good weather. our game stn was up on the roof & we didn't have a back-up plan at all. moreover, shalom was gonna have their skit on the roof after the games. just before the event started, a huge black cloud hovered over us and it threatened to rain. a few of us on the roof den gathered to pray tt God would send a strong wind to blow tt cloud away and He did! hallelujah!!!
altho i didn't get to play the games, running our game stn was fun too. looking at how the 8 grps come up with ways to re-enact the scene of Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem was really hilarious. one grp even tore down our 'houses' & 'tailor shop' to lay it as a path for Jesus to ride the donkey on! our game was simple, compared to the rest (i tink), but i pray that the ppl who played would bring home the simple reminder that we were trying to put across: that we should always be ready for Christ's 2nd coming becos when He comes again, He wouldn't be waiting, just like how the 'disciples' (grp members) made their 'jesus' wait for them while they laid the path with palm leaves and garment.
this yr, instead of having the traditional msg-then-games kinda thinggie, we placed worship and the message right at the back of the agenda, just before dinner. this was to help build up the 'atmosphere' or 'mood' of the ppl...hmm, dunno wat's tt word. but it's just to simply make worship more meaningful after the youths have gone thru the re-enactments of scenes involving Jesus, incl the role-playing of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples, the last supper and of cos, the wonderful skit presented by shalom. shalom did a great job in re-enacting wat Jesus went thru when He faced persecution and how he was crucified on the cross, and finally rising from the dead right to the great commission.
well...for us Christians, after all that Jesus had done for us, are we putting in enough effort to tell others abt this wonderful news of salvation? are we living a life that's pleasing to God? to those who came today but are not yet on this train ride to heaven, are you willing to consider Christ? consider Him as your one and only personal Saviour? don't take too long. the gate will not stay open forever.

dear, joanne, me & delia
and so the skit we've all been waiting for begins. yup, tt's us helping to be part of the multitude (hmm...)
'jesus' and his 2 disciples who have fallen asleep outside the garden of gethsemane
the kiss of betrayal from judas iscariot
the guards arresting 'jesus' and taking him away
'jesus' brought on trial before pilate, who finds him faultless
the man who helped 'jesus' carry the cross on the way to calvary
'jesus' crucified on calvary's hill, with 2 thieves beside him
the stone was rolled away; angel telling mary & the women that Jesus is risen
the great commssion from 'jesus' before his ascension to heaven
really thank God for allowing everything to run so smoothly...thank God for being in control. God's my Jehovah Jireh & Jehovah Shammah. To Yaweh be the glory!!!
