B.O.M.G (2)

WOOHOO! Praise GOD! It's just so overwhelmingly amazing that i just gotta tell the whole world about the absolute amazing-ness of this amazing thing God has done!

It all began in September 2007... God gave me a burden for the youths and i got up and went to spread the Word! Okay i shan't repeat the whole story which is posted here under the 25th of September post. All along i thought i was really dumb by not getting any form of contact from the students i spoke to and all i was left to do was to pray.

Time passed and i was wondering how are they doing? I began to pray that i may get a chance to see them again and to be really encouraged by their growth though i was half expecting that they are not going to church anymore. Well i prayed for a few months and still no chance of seeing them. I admit i kinda stopped praying for that. What God did was truly amazing. He granted me the opportunity to meet one of them.

It was after service at dinner in Bishan. I sat down turned back and i saw this familiar face. It's that guy from Guang Yang Sec! I smiled to him and he smiled back. After that was kinda funny. I gotta first admit that i forgot whether he was among those who accepted Christ whom i have spoken to. Then i recalled "yea! He's in fact the first guy to respond!" And God just played a video of remembering that he was the first to raise up his hand with head bowing down without even the slightest hesitation. Praise God!

But. I was in fear of disappointment. What if he had stopped going to church? What if it was just like a one shot thing to him? I admit i took a little long to decide to walk up to him and said "hi". And it was amazing. I asked how he has been and he said that he's attending church regularly! I then asked him what he has to thank God for in this period of his life. I reassured him that it wasn't a test or a trick question. He answered me that he really thank God for sending his son to die for him and went on about God's amazing love that was lavished on all of us! WHOA PRAISE GOD!

I asked him if he knew the others were doing well or not and he said that the backslided one was now attending church regularly. PRAISE GOD! Then he said that one guy stopped going after the first time there and he was praying for him. He's also attending cell group meetings and bible classes. Total shiokness. I prayed for him and then i went back to my own table to share of God's awesomeness with my life group members.

I really thank God for this. After so long of wondering how they were doing, God answered my prayers and displayed His work in the lives that He has touched. Thoroughly encouraging.
