Hi friends,
over the weekend, it will be father’s day. Have you prepared some thing to appreciate your father? Maybe you have been busy, or maybe it is not part of your family ‘culture’ so it is awkward. But everyone deserves an appreciation, even our fathers. They have spend much time to provide for us, care for us, even though it may not be very evident, they do love us. We may have been hurt by some of their words but they too have been hurt by us from our words, maybe even more. But they still love us.
Below is a video of God, our heavenly father’s Love letter to us.
And a video of a daughter’s letter to a dad
Thank God for His love, thank you for dads!
Would you take some time to write a note or letter of appreciation to your dad? Who knows, he might scoff it or even pretend it is nothing much, but deep beneath, I’m sure he will be greatly touch by it and he might look at the letter in privacy. So do take some time to just thank your dad for whatever small thing he has done for you.
Happy Father’s Day!
Day 1 of the Student Evangelism Training (SET) was over last Friday! There were sessions where we learn the importance of evangelism and the main points of the gospel, we also played sports and watched films and clips from movies.
Ready...
Set...
Go!
Our theme for SET is “Ready? SET. Go!” Thus we started our time with our “theme action” and followed by a short time of worship.
The first lesson was on the priority of evangelism, which focused on the importance of evangelism. Evangelism was taught as the call for every christian and we had to think of ways where we can reach our friends to tell them about Jesus. One student commented, ” (From this lesson, i) got a clear picture of what it entails, instead of the blatant outreach campaigns that I always see around.”
The second lesson was on the main points of the gospel, where we learnt the essence of the gospel that we need to share with our friends and the tools we can leverage on the bridge to the gospel. The students had a wonderful time learning from the teachers, quoting from one student, “I learnt the tools to systematically share the gospel.”
After the lunch break we split into two groups, one group attending the ‘Sports Evangelism’ workshop and the other attending the ‘Media Evangelism’. In the Sports Evangelism class, the instructor taught about the priority to do sports ministry with Christ in mind. The key to a sports ministry is about building relationships, and being a light and salt. In the “Media Evangelism” class, students were treated to a variety of films, after which they were asked how they can share Christ using the films of the different topics.
The students all enjoyed the training and brought home precious lessons to think about the next time they want to share Christ to their friends. Below are some comments from them:
“Media evangelism. Highly relevant, real life examples. Thought provoking.”
“the trainings are helpful in giving us confidence in spreading the gospel and the content to do so.”
“Sports evangelism. New approach that I have not been engaged in.”
“Evangelism through media. It made me realize that an ordinary tool like videos and films we watch everyday can be used as a way to lead me to share the gospel.”
Come join us for on 12th June that you may equipped and have the confidence to know what to share with your friends too! 
Topics for next training:
- Christian Apologetics
- Conversational Evangelism
