The Summer Showdown was pretty spectacular.
Really many things to thank God for:
1) The dark clouds overhead looked quite ominous, but thankfully, there was no rain.
2) The time of bonding all the groups had - I felt that the groups bonded together, there was passion, and a spirit of oneness.
3) To see the youths so excited bout God's word in the memory verses. Quite encouraged to see many put in the effort to remember! CERTAINLY not just for points or for the game, but because they really love God.
4) For Gabriel, Ivan and various other oldies. They really made a difference for JYM-ers, in the life of JYM-ers and a real encouragement to those who have seen them labour for God.
From what I see:
Sycamore and Cedar were really an encouragement to me. As most of you should know, I was manning the PAC-MAN station with Adrian. And while Sycamore and Cedar did not complete the tasks within the stipulated timings, I really could sense a kind of oneness within their cells. They never blamed, they never scolded; they encouraged, they worked as a team. Keep that going my dear friends. Life is not about winning. Life is about relationships and building bridges. To finish and win the long race. So keep each other in love and prayer.
Acacia! - continue to move in love! Your passion encourages me and your love for each other is growing stronger. I will miss you guys badly while I'm in Aussie. I hope i remember to get some stuff for you:D
Really quite an eye-opener today((: Talked to many people i usually don't have a chance to engage with. If I have offended you guys in anyway, if u think my judgment was poor, or my call was lousy, please do forgive me. No malice at all intended((:
Keep growing JYM. Love each other as yourselves((:
