Youth Easter Outreach

Yes! Finally, our first Youth Evangelistic outreach. Never had the youth ministry done such a high key event and I praise the Lord for His direction upon us.

Reached the MPH at 1pm and started to test the sound. Was supposed to share the premise with the Skit people and was kinda running short of time. And there was like kinda tension between the some of the skit people and the worship team (or rather me lah) Suppose to start at 1pm but after much delay and also time taken to test sound, we only manage to start off at about 1.30pm. And by the time we ended with the practise, it was like 2pm and the skit had to end their practise by 3pm. Frustrated I was as I felt that things should have been managed in a better way. There were simply too much crashes and too little communication between the different parties. After the practise, I went away and cool down before the Lord. That's something that I had learnt. As a Worship Leader, and especially when leading worship, I had to put all these aside and not be distracted by them. So I ask the Lord to take away from my frustration and to just focus on worshipping Him. So was feeling much better after that (i was doing this while going to 7 Eleven and I bought a sandwich to pacify myself! muahahaha)

Then the moment arrived and the svc started. Denise was the Emcee. Did quite well but would be better if she could read less from the cards. Then Ding Yi led in the games. Pretty good job. And followed by the worship. I must say we did a fantastic job. Though there are rooms for more improvement but as a first time coming together, I say I'll give a 80 out of 100. And there were many praises from the people that we had done a great job. But let's be humble. All glory goes to the Lord. We will continue to strive for excellence. Then after the worship was the skit. Entertaining but just a few hiccups. Then followed by Pastor Edwin's sermon which I erh erh erh didn't quite recall. Hehe. Bad testimony. I would say that this Outreach was a successful one. Not so much that many people came or many turn to Christ but rather many of the Youths took the step of faith and invited their friends. That's something that the Youth Ministry had been encouraging but in vain. And I'm also very proud that most of the members of the worship team invited their friends. As a front line ministry, we had to always set a higher standard of example. Not so much as obligation or for show but rather we have to lead by example and I'm very proud of them. So after svc was refreshment. I settled my dinner. Haha.

After the clearing up, some of us (Dan, me, W.Y, X.L, Evon. Jamie, Joanne, Lionel) went to TM to watch Miss Congeniality 2. My goodenss, this is the 5th movie i'm watching this month. Pocket really burn big hole. Then after that we went to eat at Pastamania. By then, i was really knockout. Was too tired to even talk rubbish. After makan, actually still want to go for ice-cream but my mouth is too tired to even pop ice-cream in it. So i went home and zzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ.
