Sowing Seeds of Faith...

TGIF for me started on Thursday so its TGIT for me… On Thursday night, we went over to Ps Eve’s place with all our ingredients for food and stationery for gifts/name tags making. It was pretty effective for us. Paulina came out with the icebreaker games while Juliana wrote out her 1-min testimony. I did up the name tags and liked the effect. Pastors came back and led us into a time of praying for the various TGIF events that the tribe was having.

Although we were still preparing, the 1hr that we stopped what we are doing and turned our attention on God, was the most memorable part in the preparation. At 1am, we could feel the presence of God lingering in the hall, where we would be having our harvest event.

We woke up and continue our preparation, frying the foods and buying last minute items. We even had time to bring Ignez out for breakfast and morning exercise! It was simply delighting to see the whole cell come together, be it to prepare for food or taking care of Ignez. That definitely trained us in hospitality, i.e. taking care of the guests!


Guests started appearing at 2pm. As they entered the ‘Supreme Court’, they were given a name tag and welcome drink. We lingered for a while until the last of our guests reached and started with the icebreakers. We played the simple H2O game, where a pair of participants (Hydrogen x 2) has to find another person to make up the Oxygen. The first pair that was forfeited was Luther (my pupil) and Terry. The forfeit was to finish the whole packet of Twisties in one mouth!

After 2 games, we entered into a time of worship that was led by our (new) resident guitarist, Jocelyn. Although we had pre-believers among us, we were not inhibited. Praise and appreciation flowed out of our hearts towards our Saviour and Sacrificial Lamb, Jesus. After worship, one of the visitors Weekwang shared that he teared during worship. Thank God for His presence and for ministering to us.

Ps Eve challenged us to prepare our altar call script and rehearse it. This way, we would not be nervous and leave out important points or be fumbled. As we moved into the video, I was rehearsing the altar call lines in my heart. This round, I wrote out my script and just followed it. I felt calmer than during MyHope event. As our theme was Courtroom, we have 2 ‘witnesses’ to testify that Jesus is real and alive! Thanks to Juliana and Krystle who shared their 1-min testimony vulnerably.

In our lives, we will one day have to face the Judge and the consequences of our decisions and deeds. Who you choose as your Lawyer? If Jesus represents us in the Courtroom of Life, no charges can stand against us, because these charges are now on Him. The invitation was open for the visitors to choose the Best Lawyer for their lives now. By God’s grace, we have 2 salvations and 1 who rededicated their lives to Jesus.

I must say, planning for TGIF and opening the invitation for altar call was a big step of Faith for me. Through this event, I was reminded of how seeds were sowed in my life since Sec 1, until I finally came to know Him in sec 4. I pray for the seeds that we had sown on 10 April that one day these seeds will become strong trees of Faith! Start small, and be faithful!
