Well, like a "wise man" said, it's not about being the religious fanatic legalistic. The fasting is the fasting part, but more than that it is the discipline of prayer within the fast that matters more. So with that, all I guess I need to say... is that I need to buck up on my prayer life.
But anyways, Singapore has been a blast. Especially with my new found wonderful friends. Who shall aptly not be named right now. Perhaps as the days go by a little they shall be mentioned. Partially also because I'm waiting on the pictures so that I can break all rules of engagement within "cyberwellness"... *innocent whistling*
But all nonsense aside, really the trip was extremely fruitful. I mean, like how often do you get to see 7 years of pioneering work being unpacked right before your very eyes? Plus of course some great insights into the whole idea of education and government and small groups and so on. It's really such a privilege to be able to just go over and have wonderful people take you through such a rigourous journey which is helping to shape the very future we hope to seize.
And then of course, I met this guy called Pastor Sam, who happens to be like Andy's friend and stuff. First time I saw him i'm like whoa... HE's a senior pastor? Looks more like Gu Wak Chai (HK Gangster). But the guy is all heart. All heart I tell you. You can tell when you meet people with substance in the Word. It permeates them. It's exuded in their character and speech and they way they look at life.
And then and then of course, I met Pastor Eugene, Executive Director of TCS. First time I saw him from afar last week, I was wondering if he's some old fuddy duddy. But turns out I was mistaken. He's up to date, friendly, open, and definitely a man with a big heart. Of course he also wears Converse-like shoes minus socks and jeans. That's almost always the sign of a rugged pastor. Haha.
The rest of the C&S team will get a dedicated post from me, once I get the pictures loaded up into my PC. It's all over the place right now. So far, I've enjoyed myself thoroughly the past two weeks in Singapore. I used to say I didn't like the place, but once you see God moving in mysterious ways, you can't help but be drawn to what is happening. It's a great country and God has His eyes set on em. And with the people I've met so far... I can dare say that Singapore is about to be rocked with a huge transformation and revolution. It's headed your ways guys (and girls). So let's set up the spiritual firewall and spam prayers. =)
Happy National Day, Singapore! =D
