Well, my little Chai Chee stint is over, and I'm glad it is. Those kids were driving me insane. OK, well I guess that's an overstatement, but it really was like handling lost sheep, with the energy of monkeys. Which reminds me, they are lost sheep in a way. So the second day at Chai Chee, I expected a more well-behaved crowd, but I guess the Lord decided I could handle another bunch of rowdy boys, so no prize guessing, I got the worse bunch of boys again. Jeremy who was with me facilitating, was kinda at the lost right from the start, I guess he didn't have the army experience to handle them yet, but he'll learn...haha.
Then there was the Science Centre trip on Saturday. I think it was really cool that the 5 boys who were all in my group, were the 5 boys I took in those 2 days. I really had very high hopes for Yi Sheng, and William his friend, and by God's grace, I was assigned to take them, and share with them if the opportunity arose. Of course, I would have requested for them even if they were not assigned to me :P At the end of the trip, I got Yi Sheng to sit down, and started to ask him, but we had to board the bus before I could even start. So I figured...ok nvmd. Next time perhaps. But in the bus, I felt this really strong tug at my heart, saying that there may not be a next time, and why not now?? You got them at the corner of the bus. Just ask. And so I did. I asked if they would let me tell them about Jesus, and they said yes, and I told His story. I think I may have told too much because they almost said the sinners prayer, before I brought up the issue of parents. But they are interested to know more, and I think that's fantastic.
Bible study over the weekend was great too. I learnt 2 equations which I don't think I'll explain here. But I'll leave you to figure out for yourself first.
Faith + Love + Suffering + Perseverance + Character = Hope (Rom 5:1-11)
Gift of Righteousness + Confidence in Life + Grace = Reign in Life (Rom 5:17)
