Project Serve So Far Pt. 3

hey guys, well as promised again, this is my recap of wad i learnt last week at project serve and some thoughts on stuff tt has been my concern. ill start with the street e event on thurs. it started off with a really interesting with one of the most difficult person an evangelist can face. and mind u this was my first ever street e. this guy has been to church before but has turned away and now lives by his own value and justice systems. however, when he explained his value system and we pointed out flaws and contradictions in his reasoning, he said tt he knew tt there were contradictions and just didnt care. when asked whether if he was going to hell and could just avoid it by believing in the Lord he once knew, he said tt he didnt care whether he went to hell or not. in a sense this was a challenge mainly cos he was being illogical and unreasonable in a sense. i actually would prefer someone tt even though lives according to his own value system but can be reasoned to. so instead of sharing the gospel (since he alr had a vague idea of wad it was and didnt seem interested in being told it), we just talked a bit on his value system and got his contact. hopefully God can use me and SYFC to reach out to this guy. the rest of the day i met with a grp of sec 3 boys and a sec 1 boy. they were really willing to hear u out but the prob with kids their age is tt they just listen and are not really responsive. so it was not as interesting and it was difficult to see whether they really understood all tt u were talking abt.

God indeed has a way to push His point and make it clear to us. today's qt was on Acts 28:16-31 and indeed it shows how Paul preached even when confined in Rome, not turning anyone away and just preaching to anyone who would hear. i would say tt initially i tried to avoid contacting the first guy again since he seemed so distant and in a sense weird. but now after thinking abt it, i can see tt he needs God quite badly. not to say tt all of us dont but i can see tt he has something missing in his life currently and i feel tt he would be so much happier if he would just get to noe God and trust his life unto Him. so i have really decided to try my best to help this guy out.

well i was planning on sharing all ive learnt the past few days this week but i have something more pressing and troubling for me tt i have to share it rite now. the week's lessons i can share tmr. well actually im being overwhelmed with concern for 2 grps of pple. the CF in AC and my church's youth grp. im not sure why they are in such bad states really. im thinking why Satan is so intent on damaging these ministries so badly. or is it God training and prompting pple to stand up and take responsibility. well to start things off, i was alr concerned with the CF when i stepped down from the comm last year. as u noe, i am really devoted to CF and my heart is always there with them. actually the reason why is tt it was the ministry tt got me back and connected with God again and it was there tt i realised my passion to serve God and to commit my life into full-time ministry. so in a sense i felt uneasy leaving CF to the new comm. from the start of the interviews, we realised tt not many pple signed up this yr. so we didnt have much choice in the new comm as we needed them to fill certain rolls.

the new comm was mainly made out of young Christians with not many obvious skills. i mean for my comm there was the obvious Jiap who was awesome at pub and Zara and Eve who were awesome worship leaders, and the high Jan tt was awesome at planning meaningful and time killing games for the whole CF to enjoy. and the rest of us filled our roles pretty well with logs, admin, prayer and discipleship all being done well. so i was just hoping tt even though there was no obvious talents tt they would still fill their roles pretty well. but after our step-down service, when i went back for the CF session, i realised tt not the full comm was there. even before they took up their commship, when i was still in comm they didnt come regularly. well anws to keep a long story short due to the time, the comm was not only spiritually young (which is not their fault) but also uncommitted. the CF-ers were also not committed and i could see the numbers dwindle rapidly. but i was just hoping it was cos it was nearing their promos so the next year there would be more CF-ers.

so flashfoward to last wed when i went back to check out and help at the Open House. Ms Mai asked me over to the booth and when the comm suddenly all had to go to the toilet, she told me her worries of CF abt how uncommitted and spiritually immature they are. and from wad ive heard, its not just tt they are spirtually immature but also tt they do not see the need to grow. she asked me whether i can go back and help so i gladly told her tt she could always ask me for help. she seemed to really need the support and help and encouragement especially during this period. so tt started to get me concerned and when i went back for CF on fri, i had a long chat with qing and she had so many concerns and worries tt my heart really went out to her. she was frustrated over her comm and the Christian community in AC as a whole. they were the typical Christians only by name like those who would just swear like nobody's business but still calls himself a Christian. well tt is also a reason why there arent as many CF-ers. this also results in not enough manpower when it comes to events so she asked me to approach j3s to help as prayer warriors for the upcoming WUTS. to ask seniors to help would really mean tt they need help. so i gladly offered her my help. so with the CF in the current state it is with the uncommitted comm and the low numbers in a sch tts Christian community is srsly lacking, they really need our prayer and support. thankfully, the council is very helpful towards CF cos the president is a passionate CF-er herself. ill just continue to pray for them for a new big batch of passionate Christian J1s to fill the ranks of CF and for God to lead this grp of CF-ers. hopefully it isnt so bad as to turn the J1s away.

so keep the CF in ur prayers. ok its getting late so ill get into the church problems tmr. gonna sleep now. cyas:)
