Photography: Nehe, Alex, and whoever else used the camera.
Usually now would be the time to mention the icebreaker (cuz it's the first thing we did in youth service right?) BUT something else deserves a spot in the post first.
Pre-service prayer.
It was different this week.
I thought they started worship d when I first came! Manatau it was just prayer.
'Just prayer' is such an understatement!
Firebrands.
United.Like Kutu said, God was definitely there!
And remember 'your young men will see visions (Joel 2:28)'?
That prophecy has come true so many times, and this night was no exception.
Sharon saw all the Firebrands in a pitch-black, really dark place holding hands, making a circle... and in the middle of that circle was this huge, raging fire which lit the place up.
Marilyn had a vision of a chain of fire linking each Firebrand who stood and held hands in the circle.
God is awesome in this place.
The night went on with an ICEBREAKER by Sarah Wong and Eulene Ooi.
Step One: Listen to Eulene and Sarah's Quilt.
Step Two: Mingle, mingle, ask some questions.
Step Three: You might've seen him dozens of times but some talking won't hurt.
Step Four: I wonder why the photo's kinda blur.The next two photos will suffice to menggambarkan what happened after all that mixing.
Objective: Say the other person's full name.
Wait for it..............................
Nehe: Gary Soon..! Gary Soon................
Gary (Lee not Soon!): uh.. uh... Nehemiah Jebaraj!
We shall then move on to praise & worship.
Which, sadly, we've no photos of.
BUT it went by terrific-ly.
And to top it all off - the icing on the cake:
James's ingenious rendition of Amazing Love - step up the tempo by quite a few notches!
(meaning turn it into a song that's nearly as fast as Now That You're Near)
Now that's new.
Young preachers' night!
First up was Ivy Joy Toh Joy Lynn. Bubbly, confident, smiley... new haircut!
She introduced her self-authored, self-proclaimed Missions For Dummies guidebook, which explained the What/Why/How/Who of missions.
(Unfortunately it's not in print. Only available in soft-copy.)
Then she had us break into groups of 3-4 ppl and pray for the Penan tribe in S'wak.
Right then we shall move on to Andrew Chan Wei Kin!
Someone who cannot resist brushing away his fringe oh-so-delicately...
Anyways.
His entire life is a testimony in itself, and has never been the same since he met Christ but 2 years ago.
He preached on faith: challenging us to think whether our faith in God was strong or otherwise while interweaving his own personal experience of having seen his friends lose faith in God.
And sometimes the room would go so silent in contemplation that you could hear the stage creak when Andrew stepped around on it (he later resigned to standing on the floor lol).
You'd think he was a seasoned preacher, just listening to him on that night.
With 9:30 p.m. coming and going, youth service on the 22nd of March ended.
Amazing, how just two hours could be so great.
