been a long time...

its been a long time since i blogged... and frankly speaking, between there and now, it has been a wonderful ride with my Lord... hahaha... through 学生营, i have come to know Him even better... through attending city harvest church, i have come to be closer to Him... in summary, my spiritual life have been aligned back to God's will - and once the eyes of heaven are opened, i ask myself, how then can i help those who i interact to come to know Him?
by profession, i am a teacher, and therefore in a school that is not a mission school, i cannot and will not preach the word of God to my students, who i have such great burden. what then can i do but to passionately pray for them.
and then i got to read the following article by Rev Dr Kong Hee entitled 'reaching the next generation'.
the whole article can be summarized as:
1. 13/30 window - defines the age group of people between 13 to 30 yrs old which is the greatest harvest field in the world today.
2. God outreached to young people in the bible and they are powerful leaders in the past - Joseph got his dreams at 17, David destroyed Goliath at around 19, Samuel was a kid when God communed to him, Jeremiah, a young person, was sent to wake up Israel.
3. youth are open and flexible, they are impressible, idealistic and have the capacity for faith. and youth ARE the treasure.
4. how to reach young people?
- befriend the youth
- encourage them
- introduce them to serious, radical Christianity
- help them with real life problems
- show them a better way to live life.
hmm... that got me into thinking that all the time i spend with my students, and the youths in my church, i need to be reminded that they are God's treasure to me and to the whole world.
bless you who read this...
