So the other day Mua, Mcd and Chris (who's back from melbourne) went to help out in a kids conference/workshop at SSMC organised by NECF.. well I kinda volunteered to help and dragged those two dudes in.. muahaha.. it was great catching up with those two people again.. they are like my really close friends back in high school.. (the lamers!! long live cfsmkdj!).. and it's amazing that we got this opportunity to be helpers at a KIDS conference! i mean.. we're like kids ourselves! haha!
So on tuesday night we had like a preperation and planning session.. It was quite last minute honestly and we didnt really know what we were suppose to do.. found out we had to lead stations.. like there's four stations in which kids rotate around and pray and games and stuff.. the theme was THUMB, tribals, hindus, unreligious, muslems, and buddhist.. and we were teaching these kids about these religions and people groups to pray for and open up their minds to missions work.. i got tribals as my station, chris got muslems, and mcd (the paedofile! 'he loves kids'), got the unreligious station..
Wednesday was the real thing.. and it was from 9am till 4pm (tiring betul!), there were about more than 50 kids to handle while the adults had their meeting with this awesome speaker from Australia, Jane Mackie!.. It was really supprising to work with children, some of them were actually really smart and could answer questions that we didnt even know about! (how embarasing!) We really enjoyed ourselves, telling kids about the different people and religions around the world and getting them to have a heart of prayer and missions towards them while playing some games and activities as well.. and getting our thumbs dirty making thumbprints on each others bags ;)
In the afternoon was a combined pratical session with the kids and adults, Jane Mackie did a really awesome job getting us to do a couple or processes
1. Get rid of all the junk (like being honest and confessing our sins)
2. Make God our priority (like putting away all distractions and focus on God)
3. Forgive one another (make peace and love each other)
4. Praise and Worship and kick the devil away
5. Invite the holy spirit
6. Get our hearts and mind to focus on God
7. Listen the voice of God
Step 7 was the best of all! Jane Mackie got all the kids to lie down and listen to the voice of God, some saw visions, some saw dreams, some felt that God was telling them things, but the best was one little girl who felt that God was confirming that she will be a missionary in China when she grows up (like walau-eh!!!) imagine that! God can really speak to little children with childlike faith! For me personally I had a picture of a communication device and felt that God was telling me to 'tune' in to Him and cut out all distractions from the world.. wow
After that a map of Malaysia was laid out and the kids were told to surround Malaysia, the youths then surrounded the kids and finally the adults surrounded the youths, half the room were told to worship while the other half prayed out loud and switch turns.. WOW God's presence just took over and many just stood there weaping for our nation! imagine me, chris and mcd too were just pouring our hears out for our government, the children and youths in our land.. the adults were repenting of their sins of neglecting raising up a praying generation.. and the adults were blessing the younger generation.. finally in return we ended with the kids blessing and praying for the adults! (full on!!)
All in all.. I've learnt ALOT from this experiance.. like the power of being open and honest to God and other people, letting Him speak to you.. and that we can be 'dangerous people'! when we're with clean hands and a pure heart.. and have a childlike faith to believe God and obey what he says! wow. Besides that it was a good time catching up with some old friends like pei wern, jamie and liang.. well we visited them after our meeting...
Ok ciaoz. I tried to think of something inspiring to end this post but its not working. Till next time.
