Testimony!
Hi Guys. Camp's over! It's a bit sad; I really missed the staying-with-your-friends 24/7 feeling that you can only get from camps. But at the same time I also really missed working! Haha.
Anyway. To those who missed camp. You missed one unique experience. You better make it for the next camp.
Ok I had a testimony to share on the last night, but thanks to our brother JiahaoWho coincidentally should be joining this blog pretty soon), I didn't have a chance. So, here it is;
Ok I worked on the ConstantThing Comm. And though i learnt a lot from the Comm, one thing that happened as a result of my workload(Comm + Outside work) is that my TAWG really suffered a lot. I was simply too tired to spend time with God. And also, for the past 2 months TAWG was becoming more of like a chore to me, so the prssure from the workload was simply a good excuse to siam my tawg totally.
So came camp, and I expected a lot a lot a lot because I knew I was degenerating already. Just to give you an idea of how much I expected:I think by Wed morning God had already put in me more than He had for my last 2 camps, yet that wasn't even 35% of my expectations. And on Wed night, God showed me during the service what I lacked. A passionate heart. One thing that confirmed that was the very fact that almost everyone felt disappointed that ConstantThing only received 3 salvations but I felt that it was successful.
On Thursday night, God showed me a glimpse of His heart. His plans, His desires, His character and His love. And really, God's heart is so big, so gracious, that I simply cried as I stood in awe. I cannot put in words what i felt. It really is the heart of a Father. Loving, forgiving and BIG. And so, God thoroughly refreshed me and I can proudly say that God has restored my heart with passion exceedingly.
For me, evangelism has always been a hindrance. Due to my old lifestyle, I always felt that people would judge me with my past actions, hence I would never be able to be a good testimony. This gave me a fear, and even though I always gave my friends Christian advice in the way they led their lives and all, I was never able to pop the final question, to ask them to come to church. But on Thursday night, God revealed this to me, and He has given me the courage, and a new heart for my friends to go and speak God's love into their lives.
So, especially to the younger ones coming in, I really want to give this to you. Stay strong in God, and God will provide for you all that you need, especially for the next 2 years. It will be testing times. But God can provide, amen?
Ok. Continue to let your testimonies, prayer requests flood in.
