Lesson on overcoming evil

On Saturday 28th we had a youth alpha lesson on overcoming evil. It was significant but the most significant part was that it was Youth led. Chrisanne was busy and couldn't come so we had to organize and teach the lesson. Overall, I found that it went really well. The discussions were productive and all the Youths were well behaved that day. I always thought that it would be hard to gain control over energetic youths without adult supervision. Brian led the whole thing really well, I salute him for that. Kimberly also led the skit well too. My chocolate presentation was a bit untidy but at least they understood. There isn't much to talk about in terms of how it went but behind all this is a much greater force.
I still believe that teaching Youths may be difficult and hard to control but God had shown his grace and every one was really into the lesson and really obedient (there was also fewer of us that time). There is also the Kampar trip to thank, some of us think that it had really brought us together and build relationships between brothers and sisters(in Christ). I just want to thank God for that wonderful evening and experience we gained that day. Being a good leader does not involve shouting or harsh words to gain control over the crowd but kindness and authority. People really respect you when you show your determination and faith in the Lord.
It would be great if we got all the Youths to post their thought here so we can all share our thoughts and opinions and testimonies. How God has affected your week or what you learned in Youth Alpha.

All in All

Youth weekend away in Kampar was a bomb! Though a quiet and lifeless place, we turned the place into a happening and lively town. The 3 days, 2 nights stay was definitely too short for me. If only the trip could be for a week.

This camp was special to me in a way. I've attended so many church camps ever since I was 7, but never felt the presence of God in my life. As I grow each day, I finally realized that God is trying to put His plans through me. I admit that I never opened the door of my heart to let Him do His work. Now, I feel so much more happier, and I have found my inner peace. So, people out there, the Lord has so many great plans in our life. We only need to trust in Him completely and acknowledge that He is in charge, and sure enough He will lead the way for us.

Youth Alpha really changed my perspective about life - the way I should live my life. In all I do, I vow that I live my life for God alone.

~seeking you as a precious jewel, Lord, to give up I'll be a fool~

Youth Alpha weekend retreat

Just came back from the Youth Alpha weekend retreat on Sunday.
Overall, I though it was a good experince, and not because of the activities and stuff but the lesson was really helpful as well. Like just yesterday, I just opened up my bible since I haven't been doing so latley and tried reading where I left off at Corinthians Chapter 6. First I just read it like how I would noramally read it then I stopped halfway. I read it again from the start but applying the lesson on how to read the bible, how it applies to me, what it is trying to tell me and stuff. That's when I found that I have just started actually reading the bible. All this time I have been reading the bible and waiting for stuff that pops up (which usually does once in a while). Then I realised how little I have actually read. It's so hard to explain but I was meaning to read one chapter before doing my homework and ended up reading the passage over and over again and still not understand the passage fully. I even compared how the passage looked in another bible and found it to be completely diffrent.

Go to go, have class now.

Youth Alpha was great
