wow.
one word to describe yesterday's EMERGE conference:
OVERWHELMING!Wow. really a great performance and sermon.
I started off by attending the 1st session in the morning at 10a.m. There was worship, praise and prayer just like normal service and also the brainest youth finals. After that session, there was a long break inbetween where people can go and see some other activities in another hall (7) like, 3-3 basketball, soccer, arm wrestling. There were also backdrops for people to take photograph with and also many stalls selling a variety of food.
2p.m. later in the afternoon, my cellgroup mates and I went back to the hall to see the word power finals. I am so amazed by the 6 groups up on the stage, which are categorize by their campuses like, NTU, SIM/SMU and NUS. They are suppose to memorize 40 different verses, after which they are tested by given with a short phase (around 3 - 4 word) and they have to recite out the full verse WITH the punctuations, the chapter and verse number.
It ended at 4p.m. which we had to leave the hall. When we got outside, the queue for the 6p.m session is already super long. So yeah we queue for 2hrs before we finally got in. The bad part is friends whom we've invited are unable to join us because they came slightly later, and the response is so overwhelming that we have NO SPACE !! no space inside, super bad and they were waiting outside.
A few friend of mine, feeling hot and naturally frustrated, decided to leave. And here's something i wanna state it out. Dear friends, if you came with a wrong purpose and there's no point coming if you are really expecting something to happen but yet you close your heart. How do you receive when you do not reach out? How can anything come in when the door is closed? I hope this setback, this disappoint have not made u close your heart on God.
We really have to grow up, being matured. Not just physically matured, but mentally and spiritually matured. No point being big on the outside and small on the inside.
But thank God, I have another group of friends whom stayed and actually made it to watch the service in hall 7 where they have projectors. Praise the Lord that they stayed till the Parade of Schools ended. However it was a waste they went off before the word. But Im really glad that at least they really turned up. Thank God for that.
My sincere apologies that I am unable to play a good host to all of you in my father's house. I'll praying for all of you, hoping that you'll be able to be like US, understanding what made the change in our life.
God bless all of you.
The service was really enjoyable, we all went so high with all the dances, parade of schools, and even the taiwanese singer, TANK came and sang two songs for us. SUN came back secretly to visit us, and Faye from F.I.R was present too. However Faye could not sing here because she was seriously too expensive to hire. Best of all, our service was broadcast LIVE all over the world, in places like the United States on Christian TV. Normally government would charge around $3k for the broadcast, but praise the Lord, we got it for FREE!.
Shuttle Bus was provided for us to reach various location in Singapore. And thank God there is a one which leads straight back to my home.
I'm so looking forward to the Emerge today. Although I am working currently, and unable to attend the morning session, I definitely would not miss the night session.
God bless everyone out there. And may everyone find their way home soon...
Take good care, cya!
