SP.Primers Night Cycling

The SP Primers had their yearly overnight cycling on Wed 21 June. It was with much excitement that we look forward to it because the Lord has blessed us with more than double the number of signups as compared to last year! A total of 105 people took part in this event. All the officers plus the primers were looking forward to a time of connecting with the year 1s.
There were 8 groups averaging 12 people each.

Pastor Roland flagged them off and they set off at 15mins intervals from ECP. The route would take them along ECP all the way to the SAFRA resort before they take the long long road right next to the airport runway. It would be followed by a visit through Changi Village and a short visit to the Old Changi Hospital. Supper point was at Changi Beach before they head back. The 1st part of the journey had 2 rest-cum-games point. It was designed like that to make it less monotoneous. The way back on the other hand would not have any rest stops. It was so that they would learn how to encourage each other along the way and to foster a sense of esprite de corp. We also played an interesting game on the way back which involves teamwork. As the group cycled in a line, the last rider will overtake to the front and this keeps going on. It was to push each other to the limit and at the same time teach them teamwork by encouraging each other on.

It was also an event of faith. When we were just starting the cycling, it started to drizzle. Kenny and I (not synchronised and only found out later) prayed for God to hold back the rain till we finished. And God really answered! It stopped! The amazing thing was that at the end of the cycling when we were all back at the tentage, we ended the whole event saying the BB Vesper. And right at the end of it, which ends with ‘Amen”. it started to rain! Wow! God was really holding back the rain for us! “if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.” It was really demonstarted by this. It was a fun filled event where we really connected with the year 1s… some even came for the Miracle Service! So let’s pray that the Lord will continue to draw them close!

The Primers family will become bigger.
