Today was the first day in the school. I don't know if it was just the students, or maybe it was just me, but I was so very tired by the end of the day. I didn't have any school teaching to do, nor did I have to give out any homework, all I had to do was to take them for an afternoon of orientation, and that was enough trouble in itself. The boys were so active!! I had to do the gospel links half way through the event, and when I was doing so, these two boys seemed as though they weren't interested in what I was saying at all, not even acting interested. It was quite discouraging. Especially one of them, he kept talking and talking, and so very easily distracted, I had to literally hold his head to me, while I talked to him at times. Thankfully the other wasn't so mischievous. So the afternoon came and I was excited to spread the gospel, and I was trying to hard to restrain myself from saying "Jesus" or "God" or even "Heaven". All I could, and did say was "my Creator". I had to constantly remind myself that I must not scare these kids off now, and at the end of the day I was not sure if I had did the correct thing!! Had I shortchanged them of the gospel??
Then, just as I thought it was all over, I did the final gospel link, not expecting much response. But I still hung onto that little glimmer of hope that I had left, and then I said, "The problems we did just now, could you solve them? No. That is because we are all limited, we are all human, and there's only so much that we can do. We need someone who is NOT limited, someone who is all powerful who can solve all and any problem. Do you know who that person is?" (I have to admit that at this point I didn't expect an answer) Then one of the boys said, "The one up there? In heaven?" (I did not know what to say!! I was caught so off guard) So I said the first thing that came to mind, "Yes!! The one in heaven!! My creator, He has the power to solve all my problems, he is not limited!!" (And I left it there) I know you probably won't see how this should excite me, but I got this kid to realise that there is a higher being!!! Now I just pray so very hard that he would go to the science centre trip this sat so that I can follow up on him.
So to all of you who are reading this, and who know what I'm doing, please pray for this boy, Thean Yi Sheng, that he will come this sat for the science centre trip, and that he will have a mind full of questions for the Lord, and that I would be able to answer him, and hopefully share the gospel with him!!
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
Do we have faith that this boy will come to know the Lord?
