Dedication Service

I remembered the prayer i made the moment i stepped out of the plane, which was: “Lord, we have done our part and now its up to you.” This was a significant day becos it was the day of BB/GB dedication service. Meaning the primers will come down to the Max Pavilion for our youth service. Well the working part of me started questioning the numbers of Primers coming of which how many from the NDP work and how many from the rest of the Primers or thru the dedicated calling structure that we have done up. Yet deep in my heart was the kind of peace that you know comes from God.

So I asked Him,” Lord are you pleased?”

“Yes” was His reply.

Ok lah, now i am very relaxed for the whole event. But i must pity my young primers, i have a feeling they were somewhat avoiding me becos they were all afraid of telling me the attendance. In total we had 78 students that came, praise the Lord! Though it was not as high as i hoped (100 was my personal target) but these are 78 lives that had a chance to sit in and listen to the word of God preached to them.

Well after service, we had a post program that included a tribe time, Dan&Eve tribe with SP.Primers and Daniel&Pauline tribe with NP Primers. Afterwhich we all gathered as a big Primers family to have more fun and games and even had MacDonalds!

I give thanks to God for the 78 that came, not just for the numbers, but it is a testimony to God’s grace at SP for the past year. We started out with a handful of year 2s, most of whom have other companies that they are serving in, i even have one OC in my company(which is one of the key appointment holders in a BB company) We knew that we had to start somewhere and this bunch of guys stood with us for one full year.

So from almost zero person that we started off with, until the present average attendance (100 odd) for major events (78 for the enrolment service makes up more than 10% attendance of the BB/GB family in FCBC), it has been a journey full of grace for us all.

Thank God for sustaining this work and transforming this land that was once a hard ground for BB to flourish into a major CCA in SP. More will come from this land right? hahaha

Amen!
