HEY GoP!!!!
How awesome was Michelle Hamilton's testimony?? If you can't answer that question, YOU HAD JUST MISSED SUCH AN AMAZING PROOF OF GOD'S PROTECTION OVER US!!! Because really, the proof of God's everyday existence can be seen through His works and the miracles that happen everyday.
20 years ago in this very month of March, Michelle Hamilton had taken her mother on a vacation to a remote island west of the Philippines. Her mum had recently gotten to recognise Jesus as her Messiah and Michelle Hamilton was still unconvinced, and not interested of His existence.
But after being washed away at sea by the tidal waves and current in only a 7 foot (around 1-2m) canoe, SHE HEARD THE VERY VOICE OF THE LORD!! In the literal storm she was going through, God spoke to her, and showed her His glory and power. And while at sea, God had also saved her from menacing sharks!!
And all this while, even in the moments where she doubted the voice she heard ( especially when the voice told her to do things she didn't feel was logical) , God was still patient and always spoke to her again when she didn't believe. In the midst of the storm and fear, Michelle learnt to put her faith to the test, and
give 100% of it to God!She was only discovered by a boy on the deck of the boat because God had told him to go up and he OBEYED! This shows why obedience is important.
Michelle Hamilton's testimony really shows 2 things:
1) Obedience in the Lord
If the Michelle Hamilton had not obeyed the voice of the Lord, she could have never been found, had broken her neck and died, been eaten by sharks or been left by the boat!!!
And if the boy had told God that he was busy or couldn't have bothered, Michelle Hamilton would not have been found!!
So if God asks you to do something, it doesn't have to sound sensible. He desires OBEDIENCE! 2) All God wants from us is 100% FAITH!!!!
It's really through the wonders and miracles of the Lord that we see His existence. But really all He wants is for us to put our trust in Him and give our lives to Him. God will make a way, and you can be sure about it!
-He knows the future, He sees further than we can! Like when we try to reach out to our friends, they don't respond. But do not get discouraged, because the seed has been planted, and the rest is up to God (:
So GoPers!! Put your trust in God for He will never let you down!! Obey His word and know that everything will turn out fine.
You have the missing puzzle piece but he CREATED the puzzle.No matter how it seems like your friends can never/will never be saved,
don't stop trying! God has the whole plan in His mind, it was created and set into place before the world even existed. So fear not, for our God will always be with us!
Have a blessed week and be a blessing :D
A Generation called to be deployed into ministry,
building the house of God.

Here in ushers ministry,we hope to bring joy to all who comes in, to give them a smile in the worst day and a warm hand shake with much love.
To put it simply,we want carry God's joy and love and spread it to everyone else.
Other than that, we provide direction to all the people who are new and lost or ensure that they are going the right place for service. This helps to ensure that they feel a sense of belonging and not helpless, wanted and not ignored.

Sound
Having an almighty God gracing our service every week and the bonus of a wonderful music team on the frontline to usher us through the gates of praise, youth service is often the place anyone would want to be at on a Saturday evening.
While the music team's role is to usher the congregation through the gates of praise, the sound ministry is hidden behind the scenes and is responsible for delivering the message and the music with clarity to the congregation.
Your job is mainly to provide and help out in the technical areas throughout the service.
