We would like to first and foremost thank God for how He has provided for all that we needed for this event and How He saw us through. It was really a fun time for most of us and I am sure for those who had helped out in this event has also benefited from it 
We started at about 4pm on that day to prepare the place, pack the welcome pack, practice worship and rehearse the play.
We started the event at about 7.30pm with a time of worship, led by pei ling. Followed by a play about expectations, featuring theodore, daryl, max, keith and darius and guest starring Cove Red. Sharon chan shared her testimony n how she came to know Christ and how God has changed her life. A pastor also gave a devotion. We ended the time with a powerful song by hannah and ruo ting. And not forgetting our wonderful emcees jingyi and cheriel.
Honestly, this event was put together quite last minute. The play was only rehearsed on that day itself. We had a last minute change of location. But in the end, we saw how God had helped us put everything together. How the play went well with the band, even though there was not a prior rehearsal with the band.
Below it is a testimony from darius, who is the main person who helped to put the event together:
“One of my greatest takeaway from this experience is to put all my trust in God and let Him direct my way. During the course of preparing this event, we were faced with many setbacks (e.g. couldn’t secure previous location, emcee couldn’t make it, main character for drama dropped out). I was very dejected each time a problem occurred, questioning God why He has to make the path so difficult even when what we were doing was for His ministry, according to His commands. However, looking back, I have learnt that it is God places road-blocks so that we will follow the direction He wants us to take. More importantly and amazingly, whenever God closes one door, he will open another that is even better. When the previous location could not be booked, Johnson managed to get the location at Zion BP which was nearer to our school. When we couldn’t find an emcee, Wai Ian got us the bubbly pair – Jingyi and Cheriel – who did such a great job, even though they only received the program outline on Wednesday night. When the original main character informed me that couldn’t commit to the drama, Theodore msged me less than an hour later to see if there was anyway he could helped out Without Theo’s experience and imba TSD skills, the drama wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. Really hope that this sharing would encourage all to put your trust in Him no matter what happens, for He was, He is and He will be faithful forever ”
We are really thankful for the success of this event. This is the first time in these few years that SV saw so many people attending 1 event.
