Victorious Warlords
What a superb weekend it was. Wanna know why? I hope this next blog post will inspire you and fire you up for your life.Last Saturday, I felt constrain in my spirit as it was transferred to me by God the day before. I was fully pumped up for youth that day knowing I was going to be teaching English class and sharing the Word of God for the Youth Meeting that day. All that was in my thoughts were just to share what I "planned" to share. English classes went on smoothly for both mine and Calvin's class. After that, it was then the big moment, Youth Meeting.
We started off with worship and as usual the youths weren't listening, things were chaotic to say the least, a wrestling match taking place, some lying on the floor, no one seem to be singing except the project team. Praise the Lord for His preservation that I wasn't affected at all that day cause' I was just too focused on what I had to share and preach that day. It then came to the message as Jimmy interpreted for me from English to Chinese. It was the first time I shared with anyone a certain part of 'My Life's Story', and putting into it 'Father God's Love' the youths and even some of the team people were shocked to hear my story/testimony (I think...hahaha). The guy sitting next to me was sighing every now and then throughout the time I was talking. Listen to this.... I found out later on that he was sighing because he couldn't take it anymore and was about to cry (hahahaha....he's the biggest and strongest boy in the youth by the way). The 3 girls sitting right across the circle were also on the verge of breaking down in tears as the Word of God began to penetrate their various barriers.
As I ended my message and was in the midst of finish my sentence "Come now let's break up into gro........", Calvin then stood up and started message number 2. Full of fire and the power of the HOLY SPIRIT!, he shared his guts out. That day in the small groups discussion, 3 girls and 1 guy gave their lives to Jesus. The others that prayed the sinners prayer earlier this year were also affirming their believe in The Savior.
As the 'Good News for Parents' evangelistic outreach is coming to a near, we visited one of the youths family that night and we were welcomed joyfully and supported by them in the things that we were doing for the youths in the area. Up to date, there is still not even a single parent that is not supporting us.

My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world.

The Little Darling
Last Thursday at 4.00 pm, I heard a buzz from my MSN and to my surprise it was one of our youths from the Metamorphosis Project. Knowing that she doesn't go online at home and on a weekday at the usual schooling hour, some of us from the project team messaged her through MSN. We figured she had 'ponteng' school and was at a cyber cafe since she normally gets online there. True enough it was as what we thought.
On Friday, the project team and I went to sell burgers as we always do every Friday. We planned to go to SMKC Chong Hwa that day but something in me just felt not right and I told the rest, "I think we should go to Danau Kota School". We continued our burger selling at Chong Hwa till around 12.30 pm and made our way to SMK Danau Kota.
It was a good time talking with some of the youths we had met earlier this year from selling burgers. Their school starts at 2.00 pm on Fridays, so we chatt-ed with them till around that time, one after another we saw them coming to school, some of them being dropped off by their parents and some by cycling to school. But someone was missing from the list as the time closed in to 2.00 pm.
With the help and information from one of the other youth, we found out the location of the missing one. So we went to search for her in the cyber cafes around that area (brings to your memory the parable of the 'Lost Sheep' huh? hahaha). Finally we found her and I was sooooo happy to see her after 3 weeks of her 'MIA' (Missing In Action).
We then took her to a nearby shop to have a drink. I bought her an 'Ice Blended Chocolate Shake' knowing that chocolate is good for people when they are feeling a lil' gloomy. Not knowing the root of why she was acting that way, we just wanted her to know that we cared for and loved her. During our 'yam cha session' we got to meet some of her friends and also saw the people she mixed around with if she was ever at a cyber cafe. Speaking on behalf of the project team, our hearts were filled with compassion. I truly understand now what it meant when the Bible talks about Jesus being filled with compassion. I showed her my hand and asked her to put her hand on mine (a thought from the Holy Spirit). I just obey God and did it at that moment not knowing why because in my own ways, I couldn't even communicate with her because of the language barrier. When her hand was on mine, I just said 2 simple words which were..... You see?.... Her hand was so tiny compared to mine, and I found out the meaning that moment. (Go figure ;P)
It wasn't really a good meet up in terms of what we accomplished, but I learned one of my greatest lessons ever.
That night during Church Prayer a questioned flashed through my mind, "Why are you doing THIS"? (THIS-caring, loving, sacrificing for the youth). "Is it because they are good? or Is it because they are rich? or Is it because they are smart students? or Is it because they are handsome? Is it because they are pretty?"
I thought to myself that night and I knew it was because God loves them. I could feel at that moment, if I love them so much, Jesus not only died for them but He lived 33 years of life on earth just for them. I could not help but to just cry in the presence of the Lord, not just for 'The Little Darling' but for the whole world.
