Youth Event
""Metamorphosis""
With SOT (School Of Theology) Mission Team
The whole event started today (june 20th) at 4pm~
right after Children church~ for a start, everyone who entered the 2nd floor were greeted with lots of welcoming smiles, laughter and applause from the mission team~
The Games
(team C point of view)
from there everyone had a short moment to group in their cell group and talk to the new-comers who came~ After that, we were all asked to meet at the center to split into groups for the games~
A total of 4 teams were created and 4 games to be played =D
unlike most of time the church usually stick to their own cell group~
but really today was truly amazing~
everyone played the games with full teamwork and co-operation which are barely noticable most of the time.
I really feel that this event made everyone closer together, I was in team C during the games event and even though Sonia was made leader of the team it was as though everyone pitched in equally instead of leaving everyone to the leader which I really find awesome~ xD
the games were~
Sudoku~
I'm not sure how to explain it throughly but it's the game where you're to find numbers in boxes and they cannot be the same numbers as the numbers from the horizontal or vertical line.
this was the 1st game, game group C played~ we were splitted into 5 groups and were to finish 5 sudoku puzzle and the faster we do it the more points we'd get, 4 were done in a matter of minutes. The last one however was done later but will full support from everyone else who were done. However, we were still the first team to finish the game and the mission team who was incharge of that game introduced themselves and we all introuced ourselves to them as well. =)
2nd game~
i dont know the name of the game, something like a human circle~ hehe~
we were splited into 3 groups for this game 1 for the girls and 2 for the guys, it starts out with everyone standing as a circle and holding out their arms crossed and are to hold the hands of the person in front of them once done everyone is to find their ways to get back to a circlular form of people. After 1min 30+ sec of struggling, ducking and crossing 1st guy group managed to pass~
then the girl's group was up and done quite fast too, at that time we were given our team name "Champion"
and when it was time for the 3rd guys group to finish the game, we were all chanting
Champion! (followed by claps) and continued doing so, cheering for the last group =)
it's really really really seldom to see people cheering each other on like that~
Charades~
But unlike most of the time, you arent allowed to act out what the thing is nor are you allowed to say the words
this was lame, the mission team member told us that the previous 2 groups got full marks for it, however my group didnt~ and we all knew why.
first of, we were splited into 2 groups and we were to put someone out to pick a topic
(animals was the topic picked)
and everyone guessed and scattered due to fear of having to go up to do the charade~
it was funny and fun and rather lame~
but obviously we're a team =D cos everyone scattered to the furthur back together =X
haha but in the end the people faced their fears and stood up and gave their best =D
which is cool~ although some were pushed up by others
Last transfer the rubberband
simple just transfer the rubberband with a toothpick in the mouth from the frount to the end, each rubberband= 1mark
we were splited into 3groups and did our very best, eventually when team D was done they came over to cheer us on~ which is really really rare to see xD
so yeah it was great, in the end my team won~
but it wasnt over,
final task was team shout/chant/whatever
we ended up with
Who are the champion? We are the champion
"stomp stomp clap"~ (we will rock you style)
and a human statue~ heh
team A had breakdancing~
team B had erm... no idea~ all i saw was them tossing someone into the air xD
and team D were chanting
We are the dynamic of Jesus Christ
which was kinda cool~
thus earning them the highest mark and 1st place =)
we were all happy cos we all had fun and seriously, with teamwork nothing is impossible =D
and this is just the viewpoint of one team, I'd say everyone had learn something new today in the games =D
Around 5:30
we had a short break before the service started
we grouped by cell group, ate and talked.
Praise And Worship
and by 6:00
we all gathered and prepared to praise and worship our lord =)
after seeing a vid on this event and countless shouts/screams/claps we began our praise and worship =D
and as always we make sure it was loud! very LOUD! =D
everyone came together to worship God,
they jumped, sang, shouted, clapped.
the song sang during that evening were
The Time Has Come
I Will Bless The Lord
Breakaway
and for worship
Healer
Offering
(personal view)
After Praise and worship,
we all welcomed the mission team with claps and shoutouts~
After that,
One of the SOT Mission Team Member went up on stage to give a small talk,
everyone was like shouting and screaming when he got on stage =D
he talked on how a God will do his job according as we should too,
his examples were God and a farmer
even if god can change the weather and so on for the farmer
he wouldnt as it is a farmer's job to farm
and it is God's job to watch over him,
it is not God's job to farm.
pretty much what he meant was we all have our role to play in life
and we cant expect any special treatment unless we acquire it fairly
when he was done we started ours offering
The Word Of God~
(my personal view, as in it's what i learnt)
after offering~
it was time to begin the preaching =)
in this special event we had Sis.Selena a member from the mission team to lead the preaching
was she charismatic? yes, very~
she had us guessing what job she does, turns out she's both a teacher and a counselor
qualities of a leader? hahaz~
Anyway,
the main point of everything preached is simple:
Change & Patience / Metamorphosis
we started with
Galatians 6:9
So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.
1st point was to Know what you want and being able to see your dream
because how can you go anywhere if you dont know where to go?
for me, I've heard people preach this many times, that we need to have a dream and know exactly what we want out of life so God can fulfill it.
Moving on.
2nd point was Determination,
because without it how do you plan on achieving your dream?
3rd point was Patience
Sis.Selena started this point with her annoyance with the passport wait at the airport when she and the mission team first arrived and she joked about Singaporeans and so on.
Her point was that everyone is impatient, no one likes to wait.
(Patience:This was preached by pastor zhuang too last year when the mission team came)
but we have to in order to receive God's blessing
4th point was mainly about Pressing forward towards your dream
if you know what you want, have the determination to get it, have the patience to wait for it, without doubt you'd have the strength the press forward and take it~
5th point? Salvation~
if you can do all of the about God will surely bless you abundantly. As God loves us and he does want us to have a dream and live out our destiny. As it is written,
2 Corinthians 1: 8 - 10
8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. 9Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us
After that,
Selena then gave a Testimony on something that happened to her recently.
she said it started with a phone call from her father to tell her to go to the hospital immediately.
Apparently her mother was struck down with a case of cancer however her father tell her not to tell her mum that she had cancer. Like any normal human being she was scared but God spoke to her saying how much He loved her and that He would be with her through it all. And from there she found the strength to move on without fear, by the love of the living God =)
the actual testimony was longer, this is a short form xD
moving on to praying for the people who wishes to become Christians and the people who feels insecure in their life~
the presence of the holy spirit was strong during that time, many people went up to be prayed for. I went up too, being prayed for I found peace. Absolute peace that no words can explain, heh. The Love of God is an Amazing Gift =)
we ended with a prayer for Selena's mum whom she said was feeling better bit by bit~
God bless her =D
we then had 2 Indian members from the SOT Mission Team to go on stage to introduce themselves. One is from Singapore (Bro.Jaz? I believe that was the name =X ) and the other India (Bro.Allwin?). They both tried their hardest to talk in mandarin which is well, awesome! xD good job people! =X
we then ended the event with the song
"You Yong De Ren" I guess you can translate it to be "A Useful Person?" haha
that aside...
after we were done, we ended today with a final praise song~
~The Time Has Come~
and that concludes this event service...
But then, everyone started screaming WE WANT MORE =D~
and so Pastor Kelvin approved of what the people want~
hahaz and started praising yet again =D
Shine Like Stars
was the final song sang on that event~
Lesson learned?
mainly, was the games the teamwork and friendliness and sportsmanship of everyone is amazing =D~ and also not to give up on one's dream =)

All they way
The praise goes out to You

Today today I live for one thing
To give You praise
In everything I do
Yeah all the praise goes out to You
All we are is Yours
And all we're living for
Is all You are
