Wah. Weekend here liao. But tiring day. Today there was chemistry class from 9am - 11.30am. Yesterday agreed with MingHao to meet him at 8.15am for breakfast. Woke at 7.15am got ready then 8.05am left house. Funny thing was while walking there, saw MingHao. Ate breakfast then went buy drink then went chemistry class.
Went there to see Miss Mok there liao. She so fast. 9am then start class. Did work and learning new things.
Class ended, went buy lunch to eat. Then receive a call from someone. That person damn what lor. Never say want do project then tell me so late. Told that person off then end call.
Afternoon went to RedHill MRT station. 1hr journey so long lor. Reached there at 2.15pm then see watch. Remembered email say 2.15pm be there. Reach there thought see no one but Sierra there. LOL sry if didn't see you. But you dunno my blog. Haha. Samuel, ShuMei, Gloria & Tina come. Followed by Aunty Pauline and Uncle Choon Leng. While waiting for Jon and Edmund, something funny happen. Aunty Pauline was talking to me, I saw a pigeon fly over thinking it flew out of the station. Who knows, it was at the board on top of us. Then it urine just missing Aunty Pauline by a few cm. Funny lor. Lucky me was not in that direction.
Walked to Blk 89. The kids become more open to us unlike the last time. Me was to ask them questions regarding the video. The boy name junior funny lor but very playful. Got 2 new people. One girl and boy. Worst thing was i thought the girl was a boy. But see carefully is girl. LOL. The boy like 3-4year old named Daniel, very cute lor. The game Tina and Shumei think is let them play. Then must hold him back. They so full of energy. Had debrief then walked to bus-stop, Junior and his siblings still not tired. Still can shout bye to us. LOL. Btw the OutReach was fun.
Went Youth Service. Today early, managed to get 1 row but not enough. The speaker today good named Pastor Steven from Australia, Melbourne. He was born in Thailand. He preach today was about how to evangelism to pluralists.
This is useful to Christians.
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
3 Most popular ways of evangelism.
1st. ''God loves you. God has a plan for your life.''
What does the pluralist think?
Make happiness the issue.
2nd. ''If you don't believe in Jesus, you will go to hell.''
What does a rational person think?
Using Fear. Irrational and illogical. John 8:24.
3rd. ''I won't share my faith. I will be such a good christian, my christian life will speak.''
What would a pluralist think?
A good live only confirms the preached word. Roman 10:14.
Preaching to Pluralists.
1. Lift uniqueness of Christ
- Unique Birth
- Unique Life
- Unique Death
- Unique Resurrection/Destiny
- John 12:32 And I, if I am lifted up...
- John 14:6 I am the way, the truth and the life.
2. Our message is Christ, not Christianity.
1 Timothy 1:8
3. We must care enough to understand pluralists & understand their questions.
So that was today's sermon. If anything wrong will edit. Coz is I took the notes de.
Overall, I would want to say, anyone want come with me to the next OutReach? It is going to poor families in Singapore. Those 1room flats. A meaningful and a memorable experience.
Regarding my mission trip to Vietnam, I got the confidence and asked my parents. They allow, provided it is done by COOS but sadly it is done by Faith Methodist Church. So I am not going.
I know it a long post but i shorten a lot. Can say a lot of things of OutReach but didn't want to be long-winded.
